The agency issued a notice of violation to a \"responsible party,\" according to Coast Guard representative Lt. Stephanie Cardenas, who declined to provide more details on the agency's work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has filed \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/hazmat/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">six follow-up reports\u003c/a> with the county's hazardous materials program and none has offered any new insight into the cause of the pipeline break.

But they changed course months later, deciding to have the contractor review Chevron's probe of the incident along with the investigations conducted by state and federal agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change did not go over well with Councilmember Jimenez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need a peer review. We need another set of eyes to give us the conclusions,\" she said. \"It doesn't really seem independent.

But we’re also in a really serious, prolonged drought. I think the main thing that we’re going to see is a lot of rain. We’re going to get one round of rain coming in tonight into tomorrow, another one Thursday into Friday, and then over the weekend starting Sunday and into Monday. [We could see] potentially really heavy rains that could fall across most of the northern half of the state. This is an opportunity — perhaps — to see the end of the fire season that has also been pretty rough on the state all year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How much rain can the Bay Area expect?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It depends on where you are. Around the Bay Area, the rainiest locations are in northern Sonoma County and in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and those places could see — by the end of this whole series of storms — more than 6 inches of rain. [In] San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, we could see maybe 3 to 4 inches of rain, which is a lot for October. We’ll see much less in the South Bay and further south.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=science_1935067 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2012/11/atmoriver.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you expand out and start to look beyond, there’s going to be really heavy rain in the Feather River watershed — where Lake Oroville is, around Shasta Lake and at the head of the Sacramento River. And in the northern and central Sierra, very heavy precipitation [is expected] in all of those places over the next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What could this amount of rain mean for this year’s fire season?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The hope is that if this forecast pans out for the next week, there will be enough rain over the northern half of the state that it’s really going to end the fire threat for the season — meaning that the vegetation that might burn in a fire is basically thoroughly soaked enough that it’s just not going to be something that’s going to catch fire if there was a thunderstorm (which is less likely at this time of year) or in the event of a big windstorm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, for the southern half of the state, we’re not going to get enough rain over this period to really end the fire threat, from, say, Monterey County south to Los Angeles and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are there any concerns about flooding or mudslides?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are concerns, and those concerns are directly related to the fires that we’ve seen over the last couple of years. We had immense fires around the Bay Area and throughout Northern California last year and again this year. And all of those areas are places that are prone to debris flows and landslides because of the heavy amounts of rain that could be falling — especially the storm that’s coming in Sunday and Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/What-We-Do/Flood-Preparedness/Flood-Preparedness-Week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>How to prepare for floods in California \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Will this series of storms help us get out of this drought?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s not really going to end the drought. I like the term that the National Weather Service office for the Bay Area uses: They speak of “beneficial rains,” and that’s really a short-term thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is really a series of storms that is going to bring us some short-term benefits. Some of our reservoirs may bounce back from where they’ve been, and we’re going to get enough rain across our terribly brown, dry-looking landscape that will green up later in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the drought is really a long-term issue. The long-term climate forecast for this coming season is that we’re in a La Niña pattern, which generally means less rain for Northern California than a normal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line [is that] what we really need to get is three really wet months in December, January and February to really say that we were out of the drought.

But we’re also in a really serious, prolonged drought. I think the main thing that we’re going to see is a lot of rain. We’re going to get one round of rain coming in tonight into tomorrow, another one Thursday into Friday, and then over the weekend starting Sunday and into Monday. [We could see] potentially really heavy rains that could fall across most of the northern half of the state. This is an opportunity — perhaps — to see the end of the fire season that has also been pretty rough on the state all year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How much rain can the Bay Area expect?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It depends on where you are. Around the Bay Area, the rainiest locations are in northern Sonoma County and in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and those places could see — by the end of this whole series of storms — more than 6 inches of rain. [In] San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, we could see maybe 3 to 4 inches of rain, which is a lot for October. We’ll see much less in the South Bay and further south.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in the northern and central Sierra, very heavy precipitation [is expected] in all of those places over the next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What could this amount of rain mean for this year’s fire season?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The hope is that if this forecast pans out for the next week, there will be enough rain over the northern half of the state that it’s really going to end the fire threat for the season — meaning that the vegetation that might burn in a fire is basically thoroughly soaked enough that it’s just not going to be something that’s going to catch fire if there was a thunderstorm (which is less likely at this time of year) or in the event of a big windstorm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, for the southern half of the state, we’re not going to get enough rain over this period to really end the fire threat, from, say, Monterey County south to Los Angeles and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are there any concerns about flooding or mudslides?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are concerns, and those concerns are directly related to the fires that we’ve seen over the last couple of years. We had immense fires around the Bay Area and throughout Northern California last year and again this year. And all of those areas are places that are prone to debris flows and landslides because of the heavy amounts of rain that could be falling — especially the storm that’s coming in Sunday and Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/What-We-Do/Flood-Preparedness/Flood-Preparedness-Week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>How to prepare for floods in California \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Will this series of storms help us get out of this drought?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s not really going to end the drought.

Some of our reservoirs may bounce back from where they’ve been, and we’re going to get enough rain across our terribly brown, dry-looking landscape that will green up later in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the drought is really a long-term issue. The long-term climate forecast for this coming season is that we’re in a La Niña pattern, which generally means less rain for Northern California than a normal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line [is that] what we really need to get is three really wet months in December, January and February to really say that we were out of the drought. But even then, you’re dealing with long-term effects.

The troubling trend is continuing, as the tally rose to 110 this week for 2021. We talk with the police chief about what his department is doing to keep the streets safe. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guest:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chief LeRonne Armstrong, Oakland Police Department\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>This Week in California Politics\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gov. Gavin Newsom wrapped up this year’s legislative session by signing a total of 770 bills into law — bills that expand health care, address homelessness, and bolster public schools.

The 1969 ordinance required every civic construction project in the city to dedicate two per cent of its budget to a piece of public art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the city approved the Chinatown Public Health Center to sit above the Broadway tunnel, architect Clarence Mayhew nominated Bowler to design the accompanying $27,500 artwork. (Mayhew’s judgment in such matters was trusted, thanks in part to his seat on the board of the SFMOMA.)

Bowler manipulated her special combination of polyester resin and dry pigments using brushes and bamboo. The end results were three-dimensional, multi-colored and abstract works that were on regular display in galleries around the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[emailsignup newslettername=\"baycurious\" align=\"right\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, the San Francisco Examiner wrote that Bowler’s “striking designs” were “unusually dynamic, lucid and handsome.” Pennsylvania’s Republican and Herald newspaper once described Bowler as an “exceptionally talented artist … that seems to thrive on hard work.” Bowler had experience working on large-scale murals and construction projects too, so the size of the dragon wasn’t a source of intimidation. After she had finalized the design, it was up to Lux — a self-described “tin-bender” — to build something that would last, scales and all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is, however, a small twist in this tale—Bowler’s design might never have graced the tunnel if not for a dash of nepotism. It turns out that Clarence Mayhew — the architect who chose Bowler to helm the project — was both a friend and former employer of Bowler’s architect husband, J. Carson Bowler. Mayhew gave Mr. Bowler his first major architecture job, just two years after the Bowlers were married. By awarding the “Dragon Relief” commission to Patti Bowler, he offered his protégé’s wife a hand into the big leagues as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of how it ended up there, Bowler and Lux’s dragon continues to guard the Robert C. Levy tunnel today, beneath the tall windows of the health center. And while their creation has outlived them both, it remains a testament to Patti Bowler’s artistic vision and Wade Lux’s impeccable metal skills. It also, rather helpfully, serves as a symbol of strength and luck for all of the patients being treated above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n",

The 1969 ordinance required every civic construction project in the city to dedicate two per cent of its budget to a piece of public art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the city approved the Chinatown Public Health Center to sit above the Broadway tunnel, architect Clarence Mayhew nominated Bowler to design the accompanying $27,500 artwork. (Mayhew’s judgment in such matters was trusted, thanks in part to his seat on the board of the SFMOMA.)

Bowler manipulated her special combination of polyester resin and dry pigments using brushes and bamboo. The end results were three-dimensional, multi-colored and abstract works that were on regular display in galleries around the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After she had finalized the design, it was up to Lux — a self-described “tin-bender” — to build something that would last, scales and all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is, however, a small twist in this tale—Bowler’s design might never have graced the tunnel if not for a dash of nepotism. It turns out that Clarence Mayhew — the architect who chose Bowler to helm the project — was both a friend and former employer of Bowler’s architect husband, J. Carson Bowler. Mayhew gave Mr. Bowler his first major architecture job, just two years after the Bowlers were married. By awarding the “Dragon Relief” commission to Patti Bowler, he offered his protégé’s wife a hand into the big leagues as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of how it ended up there, Bowler and Lux’s dragon continues to guard the Robert C. Levy tunnel today, beneath the tall windows of the health center. And while their creation has outlived them both, it remains a testament to Patti Bowler’s artistic vision and Wade Lux’s impeccable metal skills. It also, rather helpfully, serves as a symbol of strength and luck for all of the patients being treated above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
