Satellite Water Monitoring: Collect and provide data to California Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologists on water source information received from satellite monitoring systems installed on Big Game guzzlers. 1524 Satellite Water Monitoring: Purchase six new additional satellite monitoring systems to collect data from Big Game Water sources and report the results to the Department of Fish and wildlife Biologists. The new systems were installed as the new BGG sites Rainbow #1 and Rainbow #5 and sunshine Peak Big Game Guzzler on the Marine Corps Base at 29 Palms, California. One system was installed at the Paiute guzzler in the Paiute Mountains, One Replaced an obsolete Steven's system at the Kelso Peak Game Guzzler and the 6th system will be installed at the Nancy Andrews memorial Big Game Guzzler as volunteer labor becomes available in 2016. 24065 Water hauling to the Big Game Guzzlers during the crucial dry summer months, The Big Horn Sheep are dependent on the man made water sources due to the fact that natural water sources such as springs have been depleted by ground water pumping and other types of human consumption as well as record drought conditions. Highways and other developments have also disrupted the historical migration routes used by the Big Horn Sheep to find water during the dry summer months. Volunteers often use their own vehicles to haul water to the remote guzzler locations using small truck mounted tanks. Water hauling this year included a water haul to the Clipper Mountains BGG. Area Captain Program: Coordinate with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U. S. Bureau of Land Management, the U. S. Forest Service, the U. S. Park Service, the California State Park Service and volunteers on various projects including installation, repair and maintenance of big game guzzlers and natural springs. Conduct surveys and provide the results to the California Department of Fish and wildlife for the improvement of wildlife habitat. Coordinate with volunteer Area Captains to inspect and maintain over 48 big game guzzlers and various natural springs. 1013 Sheep Sheet News Letter: Print and distribute the Sheep Sheet News Letter that contains information on wildlife habitat improvement both past and future. It is distributed to members and volunteers. 1014 29 Palms, Guzzler Installation: With permission and assistance from the base biologist, 2 new complete Big Gamer Guzzler systems were installed bu volunteers on the United States Marione Coprs base as 29 Palms. Rainbow BGG (Bog Game Guzzler) #1 and Rainbow #5 included a new style rain catcher tanks and large rain mats for natural rain water collection. Satellite monitor ysystems were also installed on the new Big Game Guzzlers. 24540 Continue repairs as necessary on the Kidney Springs Big Game Guzzler including installation of a rain mat collection system. 439 Sheep Camp BGG repair: Repair the freeze break to the plumbing at the Sheep Camp Big Game Guzzler. 62 Repair as required at the Fay Dee Game Guzzler: Repair the flash flood damage to the Fay Dee Game Guzzler, Install new water storage tank to replace that which was damaged by the flood waters. Restore the plumbing and install a rain mat natural rain water collection system. 3422 Future Repairs and Upgrades: State and Private grant Funding has allowed for the acquisition of various materials for future repairs and upgrades to the existing Big Game Guzzlers and Natural Spring collection systems. The Society has been able to build and inventory of replacement parts including rain catcher water storage stanks, stainless steel drinker ramps, pipe fittings and fasteners. These future sites scheduled for repair include Teresa Spring in the Marble Mountains, Chuckwalla Spring and Humingbird Spring in the Clipper Mountains, the Loren Lutz Memorial Big Game Guzzler in the Iron Mountains and the Weavernoy BGG in the Granite Mountains. State Lands Future Big Game Guzzler Site acquisition Project: In the 1980's, the Department of Fish and Game (now Fish and Wildlife) lease several State owned properties in the deserts as sites for Big Game Guzzlers, These sites are located on land originally set aside as state school land property as some of these parcels of land exist within the heart of the desert sheep habitat. They are prime locations for Big Game Guzzlers and as the locations are very remote, it is unlikely they will ever be used by the State for the construction of schools. The Society wit the help of the Department of fish and Wildlife and privately contracted biologists have picked 70 potential sites withing these state land parcels and applied to the State Lands Commission for leases on 70 1-1/2 acre lots where Big Game Guzzlers could be built for the improvement of the Bighorn Sheep and other wildlife. Work on this project will continue for several years as additional research and documentation of cultural and archaeological factors must be supplied to the State Lands Commission before the State Lands Commission will approve and grant the leases for guzzler construction. Costs for this project to date have included:1) Acquiring the original State land lease on existing water sources no longer funded by the Department of Fish and Wildlife $79, 2) State Land Lease Application Fee $1,525, Deposit of State Lands Commission for the 70 2 1-2 acre potential sites $25,000. Biological research and documentation to show the viability of these sites as Bighorn Sheep habitat $22,500. 49104 State Lands Guzzler Site Construction Materials: Grant funding has allowed the Society to begin acquiring material for Big Game Guzzler construction on the State Lands sites as soon as the property leases are approved. This material includes rain mates, pipe and fittings, stainless steer drinker ramps. 31402 Repair 4 Big Game Guzzlers near Bishop, Californa by coating the water collection surfaces with a specially formulated potable waster approved polymer coating to improve rain water collection. These Guzzlers are known as Mono BGG #6, Mono BGG #8, Mono BGG # 23 and Mono BGG #24. 2491 Camera Project:Install and maintain remote stop action cameras on Big Game Guzzlers and supply photographic date of wildlife using the various water sources to the Department of fish and Wildlife biologists and the Marine Corps biologists. Supply photographic dosumentation to funding entities and donors. 3560 142636 X Jennifer Hinojosa Secretary 5.00 0 Steven Hart Director 5.00 0 Terry Anderson Director 5.00 0 Norman Lopez Director 5.00 0 Darrel Williams Vice President 5.00 0 Mark LeCompte Treasurer 7.00 0 Neil Ringlee Director 5.00 0 Steve Marschke President 7.00 0 George Sutton Director 5.00 0 Robert Burke Vice President 7.00 0 Jeff Crouse Director 5.00 0 Glenn Sudmeire Vice President 5.00 0 Christian Guntert Director 5.00 0 Gary Thomas Director 5.00 0 Dave Snith Director 5.00 0 X false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false Mark R LeCompte 34625 Carson View Ln Acton CA 93550 3239564242 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 11150 99855 65506 62784 155149 394444 0 0 11150 99855 65506 62784 155149 394444 0 394444 1324 1230 1663 1681 1703 7601 0 3618 26516 1477 14264 45875 447920 0.88060 0.87200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Client Note 1 Client Note 1 - Substantial Contributors:C J Berry Foundation1484 Pollard Road Suite 406Los Gatos CA 95032 Other Revenue.1 Royalties $6300 Other Revenue.3 Sale of Hats and Pins $793 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $119 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $1361 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $6367 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $5041 Other Expenses.1 Project Material Expense $124520 Other Expenses.2 Equipment Purchase & Repair $36596 Other Expenses.3 Use Tax paid $4799 Other Expenses.4 Monitoring Equipment Purchase $3860 Other Expenses.5 Food $2313 Other Expenses.6 Promotional Expense $1724 Other Expenses.7 Monthly Monitoring $1524 Other Expenses.8 Freight $1014 Other Expenses.9 Fuel $904 Other Expenses.12 Filing Fees $45 Other Assets.1 4457 - Beginning $17157 4457 - Ending $0
