Title

Chino Hills State Park Road and Trail Management Plan Initial Study

Description

The proposed project described in the Initial Study will assess and approve the RTMP and actions identified therein. The RTMP conveys goals, actions, and priorities to implement a comprehensive road and trail management program, prioritizes actions, and directs limited funding. It provides management recommendations (for identified roads, trails, and non-system routes) to increase visitor safety and enjoyment, while protecting natural and cultural resources. The final plan includes over-arching recommendations that apply to the park’s entire trail system, such as the need to make all new trails and trail alterations accessible to the extent possible, remove all non-system trails, and maintain all trails to the appropriate standard. Refer to Section 6 of the RTMP for a detailed list of parkwide and area-specific recommendations with accompanying maps. In summary, area-specific recommendations were made for three identified areas of the park: Discovery Center/Telegraph Canyon Area, Bane Canyon/Rolling M Ranch Area, and Santa Ana River/Coal Canyon Area. These recommendations can be found on pages 29 to 49 of the RTMP. Specific actions covered by this IS/ND are outlined in Section 2.7, along with RTMP actions that may require additional environmental review.
