APPLICATION FOR GRANT ASSISTANCE
for the project known as
STENNER SPRINGS PROPERTYACQU/SITION
Assistance requested from the
NORTHAMERICAN WETLANDS CONSERVATIONACT
SMALL GRANTS PROGRAM
Project Title: Stenner Springs (Southern Pacific Railroad) Property Acquisition
Project Location: Stenner Creek Canyon, San Luis Obispo County, California
Grantee Organization: City of San Luis Obispo
990 Palm Street
San Luis Obispo, CA. 93401
Project Officer: Neil Havlik, Natural Resources Manager
Telephone Number: (805)-781-7211
Facsimile Number: (805)-781-7109
Date Submitted: April 3, 1997
Project Description, Scope of Work, and Partner information
A. Project Description and Scope of Work
Need for the Project. The Stenner Springs property is a fairly large(363 acre)
functional inholding among several publicly owned properties. These include
lands of the Los Padres National Forest, lands of the Camp San Luis Obispo
National Guard Reservation, and lands of California State Polytechnic
University. The subject property is referred to as a "functional inholding" in that
access to it can only be obtained by crossing one of the other properties.
Recently the owners, Southern Pacific Transportation Company, put the property
on the market along with a number of other properties in San Luis Obispo
County. The City of San Luis Obispo has recently established a program which
seeks to provide long-term protection to rural, agricultural, and open space lands
in a defined "greenbelt" surrounding the City. This property lies partially within
that greenbelt, and contains resource values which the City Council feels are
worthy of protection. The property has been referred to as Stenner Springs
because there are numerous springs on the property which give rise to Stenner
Creek, a perennial stream which flows from this site through the Cal Poly
campus and several ranch properties and into the City of San Luis Obispo. The
springs and associated wetland and riparian habitats greatly enhance the upland
resource value of this property. They occupy an estimated 7 to 8 acres of the
site and are the rationale for the grant amount.
The City is spearheading an effort to acquire the property in cooperation with the
Forest Service and California National Guard. The City is interested in a 49
acre portion of the property which contains the springs and open grassland
habitat and is the most likely area to be developed, if such were to occur. A
small (ten to fifteen acre) portion of this area is a suitable site for oak mitigation
programs. We are seeking grant support for this project as the wetlands add
considerably to the site's value both ecologically and economically. It is possible
that the property would be purchased by a private party who would capture the
flow of the springs for agricultural uses. The project, among other goals, seeks
to obviate this eventuality and would permanently protect the property for wildlife
habitat and passive recreational uses, as well as for research and education.
Purpose, Goals, and Objectives. The purpose of the project is to permanently
preserve this property which is surrounded on three sides by public lands.and on
the fourth side by a private ranch. The primary goal of this effort is preservation
of wildlife habitat and open space values. Secondary uses are expected to
include passive recreation (chiefly bicycling and hiking), education, and possible
mitigation uses involving oak woodland restoration and long-term study thereof.
The wetland and riparian resources of the site would be preserved and
enhanced under any use scenario.
1'
Work Assignment. The City of San Luis Obispo has elected to spearhead this
effort for its value in partnering with other agencies and in seeking outside
funding support. This includes pursuing funding, undertaking an appraisal, and
conducting negotiations with the landowner's representatives.
Ownership. The 49 acre property which is the subject of this request would be
owned by the City of San Luis Obispo or by California State Polytechnic
University. The remaining portions of the overall property would be owned either
by the United States (163 acres), or by the State of California (151 acres).
These portions are more brushy and are less likely to be converted to other land
uses than the 49 acre parcel.
Duration of Benefits. If successful, the project would provide permanent
protection to the property, including preservation of the springs and associated
wetlands of the site.
Expected Results. The results. of the project would include deed restrictions
preserving the natural and open space character of the site, restricting its use to
wildlife habitat, ecological restoration or enhancement, and associated research
and education. About ten to fifteen acres of the site has the potential to be used
for oak woodland restoration and research, as mitigation for impacts elsewhere.
This use, however, would not impact the value or functioning of the site's
wetlands or riparian areas.
Timetable. It is anticipated that the property would be purchased by the
participating agencies sometime in early to mid-1998.
B. Partner Information
This application is being made by the City of San Luis Obispo, which is a charter
city of the State of California. The City has not received funds from the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act, and would be a new partner with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service under the program. As identified in the project budget,
the City anticipates a purchase price of $1,000 per acre for the 49 acres. (This
has been rounded to $50,000 for the parcel.) The City is prepared to contribute
$42,500 to this acquisition and seeks grant support in amount of$7,500 from the
program as a contribution for the wetland and riparian portions of the site.

Evaluation Questions
A. Partnerships
This project does involve both a new partner and what we believe is a new
partnership concept. This is because the City of San Luis Obispo is working in
concert with the U.S. Forest Service and the California National Guard to
determine whether there is sufficient interest to jointly purchase the total
property of some 363 acres. This would allow each participant to enjoy certain
economies of scale and would ultimately result in a reduced price for each
portion of the property. If this does not occur, it is possible that the City would
proceed to acquire the 49 acre portion on its own, provided that that is
acceptable to the railroad company. We are optimistic that the grant review
group will agree that this effort is something of a unique cooperative effort
among of agencies united in similar purposes.
B. Waterfowl
The project will benefit waterfowl by ensuring the preservation of the wetland
areas occasioned by the springs found on the property. Mallards have been
observed using the site on at least two site visits to the area in late 1996 and
early 1997.
C. Nongame and Other Migratory Birds
The project will benefit nongame migratory birds in the same manner as
waterfowl; by preserving in their natural state the small wetland complex and
riparian habitat on the property. Among species observed on the property in this
category are: northern harrier, red-shouldered hawk; and.Lewis' woodpecker.
D. Wetland Types
The total project area is 49 acres. The springs and associated wetlands occupy
approximately two acres, and the riparian areas (defined as a band 50 feet on
each side of the flow line of Stenner Creek and a tributary on the property) is
approximately five acres. The types may be classified as palustrine emergent,
riverine, and wetland-associated uplands.
E. Endangered Species
The project area has not been surveyed for endangered species: however, the
habitat appears suitable for the following special-status plant species: San Luis
1
Obispo mariposa lily (Calochorfus obispoensis); San Luis Obispo sedge (Carex
obispoensis); San Luis Obispo serpentine dudleya (Dudleya abramsii bettinae);
and Blochman's dudleya (D. blochmaniae blochmaniae). All of the above
species occur on soils derived from serpentine rocks, which occur on this site.
Also, the habitat appears suitable for the following special-status animals: white-
tailed (or black-shouldered) kite (observed foraging); northern harrier (observed
foraging); loggerhead shrike; and California red-legged frog.
F. Special Considerations
This project is notable in that the City is collaborating with two other agencies;
however, it is not a partnership in the strict sense. While certain activities will be
joint (i.e., appraisal), each agency will purchase land that it is interested in, and
will have full control over that land at the conclusion of the.project. The joint
effort is in recognition of the railroad company's stated desire to dispose of all of
the property at once, and not be required to deal with piecemeal transactions.
This has created a unique circumstance which we believe benefits the resource,
consolidates land management potential, and protects scenic and ecological
values for the community. It is for these reasons that we ask for the Service's
support and contribution to making this project a success.

San Luis Obispo County Educational Cable Television Channel
An Introduction
An Educational Channel for the Central Coast: We believe all students, families and the
community should have equitable access to lifelong learning. An educational channel for the
Central Coast will help the schools reach that goal by providing exciting opportunities for
student learning and enriching family and community life.
A Dedicated,Interconnected Educational Channel: On behalf of the seventy K-12 schools,
and 36,000 students and their families in the county,the San Luis Obispo County Office of
Education(SLOCOE)would like to thank Charter Communications and Falcon Cable for
agreeing to dedicate an educational cable television channel to be managed by the SLOCOE.
They have also agreed to cooperate with SLOCOE to interconnect the channels for county-wide
distribution of educational programming. We request that this commitment be incorporated into
the next franchise agreements with the two cable companies.
Planning and Development: Two years ago the community at the Central Coast Education
Summit said technology should be a major focus of the county office of education. Last year the
San Luis Obispo County educational community developed a comprehensive educational
technology plan. The schools identified distance learning and broad band communications as
major priorities. Therefore, we are moving aggressively to develop a robust communications
network that connects every classroom in the county. However,the only way we can achieve
this is to use all existing resources. We are partnering with school districts and the county of San
Luis Obispo to build wide area networks. We will soon complete a microwave link with Kern
and Monterey County Offices of Education, both of which are sources of nationally recognized
instructional programming. Resources for a portion of this network were approved in the
Governor's 1997-1998 Budget. Additionally, we plan to expand the network to include
Vandenburg Air Force Base.
Educational Cable Television to the Classroom and Community: Cable TV is a critical part
of this developing network since it provides the only link to our schools. Presently, 80%of our
schools have at least one cable hookup and free cable service. Most homes in the county
subscribe to cable. The SLOCOE, in collaboration with our schools,will deliver high quality,
cost effective, educational, and informational programming to the classroom and the home.
Some of the programs will be locally produced, such as a live call-in homework hotline, foreign
language instruction for elementary students, advanced placement classes for high school
students, and science and technology workshops for teachers. We will also bring in such
nationally acclaimed programming as the Monterey Bay Network, TEAMS science and math
series and the Annenberg/PBS telecourses for students and adults.
Again, let me say that we are pleased that Charter Communications and Falcon Cable have
agreed to work with SLOCOE towards achieving a Central Coast education channel. We
applaud them for their civic participation and spirit of cooperation. Together, we can forge a
long lasting partnership that will directly benefit local schools and families in San Luis Obispo
County. We look forward to reporting to you our progress in developing this educational
channel.
