Indicate onsigns location of park personnel in case of emergencies, as well asemergency phone numbers.Where practicable, install signs that indicate length and physicaldifficulty of trails and estimated walking/hiking times.Combine a system of GPS with trail markers to identify locations.Eradicate non-native species from riparian habitats and implementrestoration program.Re-design eroded slope banks to allow establishment of native speciesand curtail erosion.Introduce meanders, boulders, or other stream features as appropriate toincrease habitat value.Remove trash and debris.Continue green waste management.Implement “smart irrigation” systems throughout the Basin. Implementlandscape-based storm-water management systems.Naturalize creek edges.Develop an Integrated Pest Management program.Use low voltage solar lighting and other energy saving utilities andmeasures.Manage special events to ensure no inappropriate use of EnvironmentallySensitive and MRM - Vegetative Management Areas.Ensure pets are leashed at all times within Basin and install signage toremind pet owners.Install lighting and emergency call boxes in dark or isolated areas.Implement parking lot closure procedure for busy summer or holidayperiods.Investigate options for increasing safety within the model airplane field.Recommended Future Actions for Each Land ClassificationProjectOperationsEnvironmentallySensitiveInclude education about flood risk management and the operations of theDam in interpretive signage throughout Basin.Manage trails and vegetation for elimination of homeless camps.Include education about flood risk management and the operations of theDam in interpretive signage throughout Basin.Restore native habitat, including upland, riparian, and wetland.Conduct periodic biological surveys, particularly to determine of ESAprotected species.Manage trails and vegetation to limit homeless camps.Install signage with educational information regarding the hazards offeeding wildlife.Land Use Classification and Resource Plan Recommendations 6-10
