Hollister Hills SVRA is entering its fifth year of round-the-clock PM10 monitoring at
three locations on the boundaries of the SVRA. For several years, baseline data
was collected using a Mini-Vol PM10 monitor. The data from the Mini-Vol, together
with consultation with the Monterey Bay Unified APCD, led to strategic placement of
the three permanent 24-hour EBAM brand PM10 monitors (e.g., real-time portable
gauges that record PM10 levels). The SVRA contracts with Monterey Bay Unified
APCD for consultation, training, and calibration of the EBAMs. In January 2016, the
SVRA entered into an expanded contract that also analyzes daily PM10 reports and
communicates with the SVRA on any spikes that occurred. Hollister Hills SVRA field
staff conducts investigations to determine the source of the spike and, if attributed to
OHV activity, implements BMPs from the Dust Management Plan to minimize future
occurrences. Hollister Hills continues to be within the State Ambient Air Quality
Standard of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, average, per 24-hour period.

Carnegie SVRA and Prairie City SVRA apply Dust-Off ® (magnesium chloride)
annually to the main roads to help minimize dust. In addition, this product reduces
the reliance on water for dust control and is part of the parks’ drought response
plan, which is mandated by Executive Order B-18-12.
1.6 By 2017, identify critical urban conflicts and take actions to reduce
the threat of urbanization on existing and future OHV opportunities
and the loss of open space.
•§
The Sacramento County communities of Folsom and Rancho Cordova have
expanded their boundaries, now immediately north of Prairie City SVRA. White Rock
Road, the county roadway that borders
Prairie City SVRA, is being expanded
to accommodate the regional growth
through the Capital Southeast Connector
Joint Powers Authority project. OHMVR
Division and Prairie City SVRA staff are
coordinating with the project managers
to minimize impacts to the SVRA and
ensure future access to the SVRA from
the county roadway.

Prairie City SVRA – The State of California acquired approximately 229 acres of
contiguous land to the SVRA, known as Ehnisz Ranch and added it to Prairie City
SVRA. The acquisition will prevent residential/commercial development on the
property that would have affected the SVRA operation.
