Birds of a Feather Flock TogetherThe Jailbirds of Elmwood Prison

solve an on-going maintenance problem that had become ahealth liability the prison staff proposed to construct a pavedpath between security fences so that the facilityrsquos guards couldbetter patrol this area (several of the guards had suffered turnedankles and knees because of the uneven and pot-holed groundsurface) Because the project had a potential to impact sensitivebiological resources Santa Clara County staff contracted withEMC Planning Group to assist the County with complying withthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and otherstate and federal environmental laws established to protectsensitive animals and their habitats including what is the subjectof this short article an established egret and heron rookery

During the performance of an earlier biological pre-construction survey performed by EMC Planning Group in July2010 an active rookery (a colonial breeding bird site) wasobserved within the south-central portion of the prison facilityrsquosmain courtyard The rookery is located within a cluster of denselyfoliated trees and contained approximately 50-60 nests fromthree species of birds great egret (Ardea alba) snowy egret(Egretta thula) and black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax

You can hear the sound as you approach thecourtyard of the Elmwood Correctional Facilityalthough itrsquos not exactly clear whatrsquos causing allthe commotion It starts as a low backgroundchattering and builds to a near cacophony close to

the mess hall Beyond these seemingly discordant soundseverything in the scene appears to be in order the prisonrsquosinmates going about their daily routine dressed in white- andblack-striped jumpsuits sweeping lifting weights or casuallytalking in groups while the watchful guards keep a dutiful eyeout for anything out of the ordinary All in all itrsquos just anotherordinary day at the Elmwood Correctional Facility But what iscausing all this noise you may ask yourself Finally out of ideasyou glance heavenward and thatrsquos when it hits you (no notthat) there are birds in the trees above your head manybirdshellipand they are large birds Are you puzzled Donrsquot bebecause this is the story of the jailbirds of Elmwood Prison

nycticorax) The ground surface beneath these trees showedevidence of long-term site use by rookeryrsquos birds as wasdemonstrated by an accumulation of whitewash feathers andegg shell fragments

Especially unique in an urban area the Elmwood rookerysite is believed to be the only egret and heron rookery in thesouthern San Francisco Bay located within an entirely fencedanthropogenic setting and may be the only one of its kind innorthern California Colonial breeding sites are especiallyimportant when located within urbanized environments asdevelopment and land conversion often degrades orremoves available rookery habitat and asa result opportunities for colonialnesting species in urban areasare limited These sites arealso significant becausethey often support asizeable segment ofthe local populationand because theirproximity to foragingareas can reducetravel distances theymay potentially reducepredator-prey (iemortality) interactions

Because construction wasplanned during the most sensitive periodof the birds natural life history cycle the projectrsquosconstruction activities had a potential to cause detrimentalimpacts (ie elevated levels of noise dust and fumes) possiblyaffecting the birds nesting and juvenile rearing which couldhave led to fines and negative press for the County Thereforein order to protect this important resource in spring 2011 theCounty retained EMC Planning Group to monitor the rookeryduring the projectrsquos construction whenever heavy equipmentoperation would be occurring within 500 feet of the rookery

It is important to note that none of bird species living at theElmwood rookery (great egret snowy egret and night heron) arespecifically listed as threatened or endangered by the state orfederal Endangered Species Acts however the CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game (CDFG) considers colonialbreeding sites to be sensitive resource areas that are affordedprotection under CDFG Code during the breeding bird seasonas they can be sensitive to human intrusion and disturbance Inaddition to state regulations the protection of egrets and heronsare covered under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act Oncenests have been constructed and eggs are present the rookerysite becomes a protected resource area and cannot be disturbedReproduction for the rookeries species generally occurs from

early April through July with the juvenile rearing periodextending into mid-September

Behavioral monitoring of the egret and heron rookeryconsisted of a qualified EMC Planning Group biologist stationedinside the facilityrsquos perimeter fence in a direct line of siteapproximately 275 feet from the rookery during constructionactivities or during operation of heavy equipment within 500feet of the rookery During construction the monitoringbiologist observed egret and heron behavior using hand heldbinoculars and a high magnification field spotting scope for signs

of stress andor agitation Notes on behavioralinteractions (ie preeninggrooming

feeding sibling competition etc)and daily counts on numbers of

individuals and juvenilespresent were recorded

C o n s t r u c t i o ncommenced on April27 and an EMCPlanning Groupbiologist conductedworker environmental

awareness trainingconcerning the presence

of the rookery and theimportance of protecting the

rookery During the projectrsquosimplementation no disturbance of the

rookery was noted and the rookeries behavior wasessentially unchanged by project activities Approximately 38adult and 23 juvenile egrets and herons were observedthroughout the construction period

By incorporating these pro-active impact minimization andspecial-status species protection measures into the projectrsquosimplementation the County as the lead agency demonstratedproper compliance with CDFG Code and CEQA law and thisimportant and sensitive resource was safeguarded frominadvertent disturbance This model of good stewardshipdemonstrates leadership on the part of the County and theyshould be commended for stepping up All land managers canlearn from this experience and should take note itrsquos alwaysbetter to err on the side of caution

EMC Planning Group wishes to thank the County of SantaClara the projectrsquos manager Ms Alicia Flynn for her support on theproject the projectrsquos contractors Granite and BCI and the entireElmwood prison facilities staff for their cooperation and supportduring the monitoring activities

The Planning Sustainability Health ConnectionA Glimpse at Emerging Trends

some predictions and prognostications about how we can makethe transition

Harmonic Convergence Health + SustainabilitySustainable Development is a logical contextual frame for

considering health in planning The classic definition from theBrundtland Commission is development that ldquomeets the needsof the present without compromising the ability of futuregenerations to meet their own needsrdquo CEQArsquos requirement toaddress long-term versus short-term needs appears to echo theCommissionrsquos definition of sustainable development MichaelThomas Needham referred similarly to lsquoSustainableDevelopmentrsquo ldquoas the ability to meet the needs of the presentwhile contributing to the future generationsrsquo needsrdquo

Sustainable development happens at many levels fromindividual buildings and neighborhoods-green building andsustainable communities to the city and regional scale greencities sustainable bioregions etc Sustainable development alsohas multiple dimensions from design and green planning togreen infrastructure Most relevant from a planninghealthperspective is sustainable developmentrsquos focus on enhancingldquomobilityrdquo This includes community design incorporatingmixed use development in combination with transit optionsstreetscape design that enhances pedestrianbike safety(ldquocomplete streetsrdquo) and access to services and amenities Inessence an urban form characterized by mixed use andpedestrian and transit-oriented development is what makeswalking and biking more attractive as well as practical andfeasible On a regional level it embodies the ldquosmart growthrdquoprinciples of interconnected ldquowalkablerdquo and ldquobikeablerdquocommunities served by local businesses and linked to a largertransit and alternative modes network Think ldquoMillenniumParkrdquo in downtown Chicago or ldquoBell Street Parkrdquo in Seattle

The past decade has seen resurgence in not only theeconomic vitality of American cities but cityplanning And this has come about as a result ofthe sustainability movement Sustainability isproviding a framework for planners to move

beyond the traditional confines of Euclidian zoning adopting amore holistic and integrated approach to building communitiesat the human scale Sustainability initiatives have attractedbroad support because of the benefits conveyed on a number oflevels from reduction in greenhouse gases to economicdevelopment and quality-of-life However one of the mostprofound findings is the connection between ldquocommunityplanningrdquo and health In fact recent findings suggest that yourldquozip coderdquo is the single-most important determinant of an

individualrsquos health In other words how communities aredesigned can influence onersquos level of physical activity andhence health Given the prominence of the obesity epidemicand rise in chronic diseases planners will increasingly be calledupon to play a role in promoting healthy communities This willexpand the mission of planning organizations to consider thehealth implications of land-use decisions The ldquoconvergencerdquo ofplanning and health and wellness represents a significant trendand one which will set a dominant tone This article is intendedto help planners understand this emerging trend

We begin with deciphering the connection betweenplanning and health specifically the ldquofitrdquo between health andsustainability Next we look at upstream health factors Wethen discuss the ldquoculturalrdquo transition in the planning healthand social services arenas that will be necessary in order to fullyrealize the potential of health sustainability planning Wehighlight the importance of power sharing between agencies andgrassroots organizations and highlight the evolution in policyplanning and environmental analysis along with the use ofhealth impact assessments (HIAs) Finally we conclude with

ldquoSocially ldquoGreen Healthrdquo occurs at a nexus of morally-laden decisions about living inthe world as patients workers consumers and citizensrdquo

(Institute for the Future Health Horizons Program)



The Planning Sustainability Health Connection continued from page 12

Health FactorsIncreasingly health researchers are finding that health

problems are influenced by societal policies and environmentsthat either support behaviors or fail to foster healthier choicesDr Kawachi stressed that where you live affects how you liveThere is growing consensus that major health problems will notbe solved solely by individual actions and choices By movingldquoupstreamrdquo to address causes and improving environments wherewe work learn and play we can reduce chronic illnesses DrKawachi specifically cites changes in ldquotransportation policiesand urban zoningrdquo (Physical Activity and the BuiltEnvironment What Worksrdquo Statewide Conference Sponsoredby Health by Design September 10 2007 Indianapolis IN)

Health care genetics and lifestyle changes only take us so far Ifyou want to prevent obesity you need to cure the environmentnot the individualrdquo

Dr Ichiro Kawachi delivering Keynote address at StatewidePolicy Forum on Social Determinants of Health 111306(httpbcbsmnfoundationcom objectsTier_3forum_proceedingspdf )

ldquoWe must understand that education housing transportationand community development and income policies are healthpolicies- Jan Malcolm (httpmngov health-reformimagesTask-Force-and-Work-Groups-Summary-2012-01-31pdf )

In essence it appears that health professionals areabandoning their long-held belief in the efficacy of healtheducation programs They have learned that such programsrarely lead to sustained behavioral change unless scaled up andinstituted through formal and informal PSE changes Anupstream approach might also involve measures designed toinfluence diet and nutrition such as agricultural food subsidiesand national nutrition standards If this seems out-of-bounds toyou planners out there think about the growing trend topromote local and sustainable foods through urban agricultureand farmerrsquos markets or the efforts by schools and universities tosource more sustainable food options

Cultural Transition Sustainable Development by its very nature is

interdisciplinary and in the case of health and land-use willrequire the ldquotriadrdquo of planners health and social servicesprofessionals to collaborate in developing plans and forgingstrategies This would hardly be the first time that planners haveworked with health professionals Solid waste and water qualityfacility siting as well as development review call for planners towork routinely with local health departments as well as Stateand federal agencies like Environmental Protection AgencyDepartment of Toxic Substances Control and CaliforniaDepartment of Health Services What has changed is that until

recently health issues have not been a consideration in land-usetransportation and mobility planning such as has engineeringand public service issues for example The marriage betweenplanning and public works professionals may not be perfect butthey have grown accustomed to one anotherrsquos particularproclivities Merging of health social service and planning willrequire a similar cultural transition However in this latter casethe transition may be eased given a shared vision if not missionof promoting healthy communities Human resources managersmust also be included in this conversation Recruiting trainingand retaining staff with appropriate interdisciplinary experienceis essential for capacity building and effecting organizationalchange

APArsquos Sustainable Planning Interest Group is emblematic ofthe critical mass of planning professionals that are supportingsustainability initiatives many of whom are focused on healthand mobility together with local and sustainable foods Healthmobility local foods and nutrition were recurring sustainabilitythemes dominating recent APA conferences in Boston and LosAngeles APA has also adopted policies on supportingldquoCommunity and Regional Food Systemsrdquo[httpwwwurbantilthorgwpcontentuploads200810american-planning-association-policy-guide-on-community-and-regional-food-planningpdf] While training and conferenceprograms focusing on the intersection of planning health andsustainability is available advanced or graduate-level curriculahas yet to be developed The Sustainable Urban DevelopmentReader (2ndEd 2008) (wwwroutledgegeographycom) intendedfor advanced studies in sustainable development contains onlyone paragraph on the subject of the health-sustainability link inan otherwise comprehensive text Similarly contemporary textson health policy lack any substantive discussion of thesignificance of environmental determinants as a factor inchronic disease or the connection between health andcommunity planning

Community Collaboration and Power-Sharing Concerns about sustainability have been driven to a large

degree by the public and consequently power relationshipsneed to change in order to promote community partnershipsMoreover health and social service professionals will need todevelop competencies that enable them to address issues thatoccur at the intersection of health planning and sustainabledevelopment This would require planners to understand therole of health determinants approaches to health promotionhealth policy and tools like logic mapping and health impactassessments

Because of the grassroots nature of sustainability initiativesplanners health professionals and social workers will need toplace increasing emphasis upon consensus building anddeveloping community partnerships This will also require




planning health and social service agencies to adopt a proactiveapproach to organizational change and one that relies more on aprocess of shared learning increased openness and accessibilityand a shift in how information is acquired and communicatedThis not only involves power-sharing but further portends afundamental change in the notion of local government from onethat mandates change to one that empowers change Plannersalready have some models that embody a cooperative grassrootsapproach wherein agencies derive their power consensuallyversus coercively (wwwmpoworgelisheva_sadan_empowerment_spreads_chapter1pdf) Californiarsquos ldquocoordinated resourcemanagement and planningrdquo model is a good example of bottom-up watershed planning which emphasizes decentralized decision-making power sharing and collaboration Other examplesinclude the many successful open space and trails planning andacquisition programs spearheaded by land conservancies andconservationdeveloper partnerships local food coops and untilmore recently the many community-run recycling programs

This requires planning organizations coupled with incentivesand inducements

Policy Planning and Impact AssessmentPlanning-related health issues can be addressed through

general plan or other local policy plans or via Health ImpactAssessments (HIAs) The City of Richmond California was oneof the first cities in the country to develop a comprehensivegeneral plan element addressing the link between public healthand the built environment A number of other Cities andcounties in California have since developed health planelements Richmond a former shipbuilding hub during WorldWar II has a number of historic industrial uses and a legacy ofenvironmental contamination It is home to Chevron-RichmondRefinery General Chemical as well as a proliferation of otherport-industrial activities Naturally then RichmondrsquosCommunity Health and Wellness Element addressesenvironmental justice issues related to air pollution and waterand soil contamination The Health Element further discussespedestrian and bicyclist injuries chronic diseases and crime andviolence Richmond residents are at a higher risk than residentsin the rest of the county on many health indicators including thehighest proportion of deaths from diabetes a much higher thanaverage rate of children requiring hospitalization due to asthmaand the second highest number of hospitalizations for mentalhealth disorders and substance abuse Richmond residents arealso disproportionately affected by heart disease cancer andstroke (httpwwwhealthycommunitiesby designorg) Healthplanning elements and HIAs can also be prepared in associationwith Housing Elements and Economic Development PlansSustainability and Carbon Action Plans Alternative ModesPlans Trails and Bicycle Plans as well as Safety and EmergencyPreparedness Plans HIAs are particularly suited to addressinghealth implications of plans programs and policies(programmatic HIAs)

Health Impact Assessment is ldquoa multidisciplinary processwithin which a range of evidence about the health effects of aproposal is considered in a structured framework hellipbased on abroad model of health which proposes that economic politicalsocial psychological and environmental factors determinepopulation healthrdquo (wwwhiacollaborativeorgfaq )

HIA have also been defined as ldquohellip a systematic process thatevaluates the health impacts of a proposed policy planprogram or project The assessment helps the public anddecision-makers understand the health consequences of theproposal and make informed choices that protect and promotehealthrdquo (httpwwwhumanimpactorgcomponentjdownloadsfinish81180)

HIAs have been used as a policy analysis tool to highlighthealth impacts and can either be in the form of a highlystructured report a policy brief or issue paper or can even takethe shape of a community forum Compared to EnvironmentalImpact Assessments (EIA) there is a greater emphasis onldquointer-sectoralrdquo or interdisciplinary coordination and publicparticipation HIAs examine causal factors and pathways infour main areas including social determinants environmentalimpacts (ie air and water quality) built environment andhealth behaviors The ldquobuilt environmentrdquo has been receivingmost attention lately along with the need to promotesustainable development Consequently there is increasinginterest to using HIAs in conjunction with land-use policyplanning and EIAs Pathways could include for examplehousing land-use mix food access and security transportationinfrastructure traffic safety noise community walkability andrecreational amenities Examples of causal factors such as inthe case of a farmerrsquos market might include consumption offruits and vegetables income for vendorsrsquo and farmerspreservation of agricultural land community economicconditions and pedestrian access (ie physical activity)

Planners and environmental scientists would as before beconcerned with biophysical health effects which havecommonly been addressed through human health riskassessments (HRAs) and ecological health risk assessments(ERAs) EPA establishes a specific methodology for assessingHRAs and ERAs risks to human health from exposure tohazardous substances and are thus narrower than HIAs Forexample laws addressing hazardous substances like motorvehicle fuel additives and pesticides or emissions of mercury ordioxin from a power plant generally require HRAs or ERAsrather than HIAs In contrast HIAs would focus increasinglyupon the more indirect health outcomes in order to determinethe health effects of a policy or activity

HIAs are just beginning to be used in connection withNEPA and NEPACEQA reviews and incorporation into



CEQA is easily foreseeable The Bureau of Land Management(BLM) conducted the first federal joint HIAEIS to addresscommunity health concerns for proposed oil and gas leasing inthe National Petroleum Reserve Northeast (NPR-A EIS) HIAsare being planned in conjunction with major projects at thePorts of Oakland Los Angeles and Long Beach in additionexpansion of the I-710 in Southern California NEPA does notspecifically require HIAs however it does contain language inits stated purpose requiring consideration of health impacts(Sections 150827(b)(2) In addition Council onEnvironmental Quality (CEQ) regulations stipulate thatagencies respond to public comments on health concerns(Section 2 42 USC 4321)

HIAs through examining impact pathways offer a usefulplanning and analysis tool They provide a far more rigorousanalysis of physical health outcomes like changes in Body MassIndicators (BMI) than the analysis that would commonly beundertaken in an EIA In California UCLA has been leadingthe way establishing an ldquoHIA Training Manual(wwwphuclaeduhshealth-impact)rdquo San FranciscoDepartment of Public Health has prepared ldquoA Guide to HealthImpact Assessmentrdquo for the State Department of Health andleading national efforts Centers for Disease Control(wwwcdcgovhealthyplaceshia) has authored reports on avariety of HIA topics Non-profits including PEW HealthGroup (wwwhealthimpactprojectorg) have also contributed toresearch in this area

ConclusionsPlanners have been preaching about the virtues of

sustainable development for a long time However as aprofession we have been largely ineffective until recently inpromoting these ideas and bringing about change Indeed theldquonew urbanistrdquo and ldquosmart growthrdquo ideas born in the 1980s arebeginning to gain momentum The concepts of density mixeduse and transit and pedestrian-oriented development are beingimplemented in cities across the country The sustainabilitymovement has given shape to and propelled these initiativesNow recognition of the healthsustainability link is adding anadditional impetus to these initiatives Concerns about theprecipitous rise in chronic health conditions such as heartdisease and diabetes associated with physical inactivity and poornutrition have brought the obesity epidemic to center stageHowever this has not yet resulted in policy changes at thenational level The majority of health care expenditures still goto medical treatment of chronic diseases rather than towardprevention And this results in repercussions throughout thehealth care system particularly with regard to rising costs anddisparities in treatment The costs of treating chronic conditionsaccount for the great majority of health care expenditures

Clearly promoting sustainable and healthy communitydevelopment will pay dividends in public health benefits andeconomic savings However progressive planning measureshaving the most effect such as reducing parking requirementsestablishing car-free zones and bike-only corridors are morelikely to meet political opposition compared to the palliativemeasures that are usually advocated Likewise economicincentives and disincentives like raising gas taxes and chargingmore for or limiting parking might be though relativelyefficient but are also likely to meet resistance Wellnessstrategies in school on campus and in the workplace can alsobe effective when combined with incentives However doesthis imply that individuals accustomed to unhealthy andsedentary lifestyles are suddenly going to adopt changes inbehavior There are often deep psychological factors thatinhibit change such as ingrained habits peer pressure stressdepression and substance abuse Perhaps the greatest changeswill come from children and those adults who are alreadymotivated to adopt a healthier lifestyle given the rightcircumstances And that in turn might result in significantsocietal change

CSU Monterey Bay Watershed InstitutePublications A Gold Mine of Gray Literature

Watershed Institute PublicationsIn about 2000 Fred Watson (CSUMB faculty and CCoWS

researcher) created the Watershed Institute Publication series tobe an on-line archive of our collective technical reports Thereports have been publically available since that time TheWatershed Institute Publications series can be found organizedby year under the headings of ldquoReportsrdquo and ldquoClass Reportsrdquowithin our general publications list at the following web addresshttpccowscsumbedupubs As of May 2012 there were over100 reports listed Most of the reports are web-accessible andvirtually all have at least one student co-author Thepublications listed under ldquoReportsrdquo are typically funded projectreports that represent many months of careful data collectionand analysis These reports have undergone rigorous internalreview (and sometimes ldquopeerrdquo or ldquoclientrdquo review outside theInstitute) In contrast the ldquoClass Reportsrdquo are gratis studiesdone by graduate students in our Advanced Watershed Scienceand Policy course Usually three Class Reports are generatedeach fall semester each supervised by a different faculty memberWhile the Class Reports are commonly high-quality studies thatthe client appreciates the reports are typically not as deeplyreviewed and vetted before posting Nonetheless each reporthas a fine data set or result that is archived for future referenceby environmental professionals

A Data-Hungry CommunityThe large number of reports on the web is testament to a

community that needs environmental data for resource-management decisions CCoWS serves abroad spectrum of community partnersranging from grass-roots organizations tothe federal government Communitymembers contact us with potentialprojects on a fairly regular basis We mustfilter the requests in various ways giventhat we are a finite team with a generallyheavy teaching load Beyond serving aspecific client our reports live on to becited in EIRs EAs watershed assessmentsgrant proposals biological opinions andjournal articles Our one goal is to deliverthe cleanest science possible independentof our personal perspectives Ethics andimpartial data collection are at the heartof science and these are key lessons for thestudents who join us in our research

When is the best time to plant a fruit treeConventional wisdom says fifteen years agoCoincidentally that is also a great time tohave started baseline monitoring for thatEIR you are now contracted to write If

there is a university near your project there is a reasonablechance that someone has made a few unpublished butcriticallyndashimportant historical baseline observations about yourarea of interest Unfortunately most of those unpublished datasets are sitting in a file somewhere or at best they are collectingdust shelved on a clientrsquos book case as a gray literatureconsulting report However if you are working in MontereyCounty California you may have run into the CaliforniaCoastal Watershed Studies technical reports produced byresearchers affiliated with the CSU Monterey Bay (CSUMB)Watershed Institute This article to describes how theWatershed Institute publication series has played a pivotal rolein serving our data-hungry community has given students real-world experience in the art of technical report writing and hashelped to inform environmental decision-makers

Real-World Training for StudentsWe include undergraduate and graduate students in nearly

every project We have student interns who do lab and fieldwork student collaborators who take on a greaterresponsibilities and occasionally students who act as leadscientists managing other students on the team Students gainco-authorship on a technical report by materially contributingto a project and its write-up

The real-world projects leading to Watershed Institutetechnical reports offer students a chance to get involved with allaspects of applied science Students are commonly involved inbackground research project design data collection statisticalanalysis budgeting and report writing As we all know projectsnever go exactly according to plan so students get the addedexperience of troubleshooting and adapting to newcircumstances The benefits to these students include a deeperknowledge of a particular topic and related policies someprofessional experience a paycheck and they appreciate addingsome ldquobeefrdquo to their resumes as they look to the next step intheir careers

Through the years we have sent out several surveys to ourregional employers to gauge the current and future employeeskill sets Without fail the top requirements have nothing to dowith emerging technologies According to our surveysemployers need students who have great writing skills So wehave a challenge Freshmen come to us with an enormous rangeof writing skills In response we have tried a variety of strategiesto build those skills For example we shoot for the ldquotechnicalreportrdquo as the target genre for our students in several of ourproject-based watershed-science courses Some of those studentseventually rise to the challenge of coauthoring a WatershedInstitute Publication an event that carries significant honorwithin the student body Employers have been pleased with ourgraduatersquos writing skills

Sample ProjectsThe range of projects in the publication series is broad I

provide three examples here Smith et al (2008) collected

multibeam bathymetry and vessel-based LiDAR data to producea high precision digital model of Los Padres Reservoir for theMonterey Peninsula Management District The projectincluded four graduate student co-authors including KrystalGomez shown running a LiDAR scanner Krystal is now happilyemployed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute

Perry et al (2007) is a report to the California Departmentof Parks and Recreation describing three years of water qualityand aquatic invertebrate monitoring after the construction ofthe Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project The 90-pagereport presents the data required to assess whether or not theenhancement project improved steelhead habitat in the lagoonThe report was written by three students (or recent graduates)and Fred Watson Over the course of the three-year project atleast 10 students were involved One of the coauthors JoelCasagrande is now with National Marine Fisheries Service

Pugh et al (2011) is an example of a graduate class projectwith 12 student coauthors The project delineated thewatershed areas for stormwater outfalls in the City of PacificGrove CA The project brought students up-to-speed on thenew urban stormwater regulations and Low ImpactDevelopment (LID) technologies while providing a valuableproduct for the City The work involved DEM analysis land-cover analysis and field verification The report was the basisfor another student project in 2012 focusing on HEC HMSmodeling of storm runoff in a specific Pacific Grove watershedthat is being evaluated for wetland creation and other LIDapplications The cumulative body of data has now been used bythe city to generate a Request for Proposals for consultantsbidding for the LID work The report has been used at a localschool as part of the watershed curriculum and as the focus ofpublic debate on stormwater and urban forestry issues Leadauthor Kathy Pugh is now employed with WaterwaysConsulting
