Draft EIS/EIR for the San Luis Reservoir SRA Resource ...

4. Plan Overview
• Interagency Cooperation (REG-C)
• Regional Plans (REG-P)
• Population and Demographics (REG-D)
• Linkages (REG-L)
4.2.3.1 Interagency Cooperation (REG-C)
Outreach to and cooperation with sister agencies, adjacent landowners, and
recreational user groups can greatly benefit the Plan Area and its activities.
Resource management implementation can be aided by sharing staff resources
among different agencies and volunteers. Issues that may be relevant to residents
and land use in the Plan Area vicinity, as well as regulatory requirements, can be
clarified early in the process with continued public outreach.
Goal REG-C1
• Develop cooperative relationships with adjacent landowners, and local,
state, and federal agencies (including Reclamation, CSP, DFG and DWR)
to share resources and coordinate implementation of Plan Area
management actions.
Guidelines
• Continue to work with California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection (Cal Fire) for emergency, rescue, fire, or other incidents
requiring mutual aid.
• Continue the regular forum of information exchange initiated in the
planning process so that appropriate agencies are aware of issues and
projects and how they affect Plan Area resources and facilities.
4.2.3.2 Regional Plans (REG-P)
There are many efforts to accommodate the continuing population growth in the
region, which are being documented in a variety of plans by local and state
agencies. Additionally, many surrounding privately owned parcels are being
subdivided and developed. Overlapping planning efforts can cause oversight of
important issues relevant to Plan Area planning, and surrounding land uses can
greatly influence management and operations. There are also regional planning
efforts that require continued information exchange to ensure they are coordinated
with Plan Area visitation and plan implementation.
Goal REG-P1
• Provide information to local governments on regional planning initiatives
and surrounding development to assist in making them consistent with the
Plan Area purpose and vision.
Guidelines
• As staff time allows, regularly review applications to Merced or Santa
Clara County for development in the vicinity of the Plan Area and
