Calabasas Pond and ~ 30 acres of upland are included in the Calabasas Unit of the Ellicott Slough National Wildlife Refuge. Necessary management actions at the pond include repairing the berm at the pond, and removal of non-native invasive vegetation. These actions will likely require assistance from Service (Refuge) personnel and volunteers. Regarding research, population studies at the pond should be conducted, as well as drift fence studies in the uplands. Research on disease (e.g., chytridiomycosis) should be conducted, through dipnetting and examining larvae, and swabbing larvae and adults. | ||||||||||

CDFG and Caltrans have had a streambed alterations agreement in place for the last five years (it expires at the end of 2005) for vegetation clearing in the channel here. The problems at this site are numerous, and include sedimentation problems at the lagoon from erosion runoff upstream. The pond (lagoon) likely needs to be improved, and the channel leading into the pond, which is full of sediment, needs to dug out. Also, vegetation needs to be managed here. Currently, there is no management plan in place to deal with the sedimentation problems at the pond and channel, and to allow for take during these management activities. Population studies are necessary here, to determine the status of the population, and to determine where in the uplands long-toed salamanders are migrating; the uplands here are very fragmented due to residential development. | ||||||||||||
