  8. Title: Airport Noise Contours: Humboldt County, California, 2015

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts boundaries for Airport Noise Contours at the Arcata-Eureka Airport in the County of Humboldt, California. These Contours are displayed at both the 60 and 65 Community Noise Equivalent Levels (CNELs), representing equal levels of noise exposure for each Level. Aircraft noise is a significant factor in land use planning around airports. The objectives of compatible land use planning are to encourage land uses that are generally considered to be incompatible with airports (such as residential, schools, and churches) to locate away from airports and to encourage land uses that are more compatible (such as industrial and commercial uses) to locate around airports. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been actively supporting programs to minimize noise impacts. The Arcata-Eureka Aiport is located in McKinleyville, California and offers commercial air service to Humboldt, Del Norte and Mendocino Counties and is served by 1 commercial airline.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts boundaries of Wildland Fire Rating Zones in the County of Humboldt, California as defined in the General Plan Volume 1 Framework Plan (adopted 12/10/1984). These Zones are designated to minimize forest damage, promote forest health and prevent loss of timber on private property. The Humboldt County Planning and Building Department is responsible for protecting the public health, safety and welfare via building permit review and inspections consistent with California model codes as well as planning and development review and approval consistent with the county's General Plan.

Humboldt County Planning and Building Department. (2015). Fire Hazard Zones: Humboldt County, California, 2015. Humboldt County Planning and Building Department. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/fz025mv9839. Below is a section from Humboldt County General Plan Volume 1 Framework Plan, Adopted 12/10/1984. 3230 Wildfire Humboldt County exhibits extreme diversity in it potential for destructive fire, from nil to extreme in severity classification. The wildfire hazard in the County has been analyzed using the methodology of the California Department of Forestry Report to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (1973), modified to account for conditions not included in their procedure. This method takes into account climate, the fuel potential of the vegetation and topography. CDF's fire hazard methodology as applied to Humboldt County and the distribution of zones is shown on the Wildfire and Flood Hazard Map. This distribution generally reflects a moderate to high rating on the western portions of the County where the fuel potential is high but the climate is damp. The extreme ratings are generally in the drier eastern portions of the County or in very steep terrain. Policy application of the fire ratings is by referring to the map of Wildland Fire and Flood. The Planning Department determines which applications should be reviewed by the appropriate fire protection agency, and considers their response in the approval and requirements for development application. This method reduces the risk to structures and their occupants, as well as the threat to surrounding wildland vegetation. This risk which wildland occupants cause others is also reduced by the requirement of fire safety measures. The standards that are used as guidelines for development reviewed by the Planning Department to reduce the hazard of fire are the CDF "Fire Safe Guides" (CDF, 1980). Other County standards are listed in Title III, Division 2 Subdivision Regulations, and the newest edition of the Uniform Building Code. The Fire Safe Guides are applied with some discretion due to competing policy concerns such as adequate road width for emergency vehicles versus increased erosion from wider road widths.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polyline shapefile depicts the location of Tsunami Run-Up Lines for the County of Humboldt, California. When a tsunami moves inland, the large amount of water that a tsunami pushes onto the shore above the regular sea level is called Run-Up; the maximum vertical height onshore above sea level reached by a tsunami. Run-Up is a more damaging force than the huge tsunami waves due to their surging inland.
