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

4. Plan Overview
remain accessible from Basalt Use Area, and the no-ski zone and 10 mph speed
limit would remain in force in Lone Oak Bay and Portuguese Creek.
Changes at the Dinosaur Point Use Area under Alternative 2 would be limited to
constructing restrooms with flush toilets. This alternative would allow for
prescribed burns in the BC zone, away from visitor areas, as a fuel management
measure. Street luge events would continue to be allowed with CSP’s permission.
At San Luis Creek Use Area, Alternative 2 would provide for a new boarding
float and ADA accessible fishing access (such as a pier). The existing lifeguard
stand would be upgraded or replaced, and opportunities for concessions (such as
food service or kayak, boat, and personal watercraft rentals) would be explored.
The five group picnic facilities would be expanded to accommodate larger groups.
Alternative 2 would allow for a multipurpose building to be constructed for
interpretive activities, slideshows and movies, or other visitor events. Existing
interpretive exhibits would be maintained, and additional interpretive exhibits and
programs would be provided. Thirty tent sites would be added on the northwest
shoreline of San Luis Creek Use Area. Existing paved walking paths could be
connected to form longer trails.
Hunting access to Lower Cottonwood Wildlife Area, outside of the Plan Area,
would be provided as it is now through the San Luis Creek Use Area entrance
road. This alternative would provide for working with DFG to reduce conflicts
with hunting access such as park use hours, gates, etc., in accordance with Goal
REG-C1 (Interagency Cooperation) and its guidelines.
At the Medeiros Use Area, additional tent/RV or primitive campsites are not
proposed, but additional camping would be added across O’Neill Forebay at the
San Luis Creek Use Area, as noted above. Alternative 2 would allow for
consideration of reopening or relocating the Medeiros Use Area boat launch.
No changes are proposed for the existing OHV Use Area. OHV use will be
restricted to trails (including the existing track) and roads, in conformance with
PRC Section 5001A3. Seasonal restrictions for Red Sticker OHVs will be
continued.
At the Los Banos Creek Use Area, the addition of up to 30 tent sites and
restrooms with flush toilets at the North Shore campground would be explored.
The relocation of the existing equestrian camp would be considered, but the
entrance station, maintenance facilities, and staff housing would remain in their
current locations.
Alternative 2 would allow for creating additional interpretive programs, which
would include the themes described in Section 4.2.2.3.
Local and Regional Planning. Alternative 2 and the other action alternatives
provide for coordination among the four managing agencies (DWR, DFG, CSP,
and Reclamation) as well as with other agencies and stakeholders (Goals REG-C1
and REG-C2, Interagency Cooperation). All action alternatives would also
