The arroyo toad (B. microscaphus californicus) is geographically isolated from the Arizona toad (B. microscaphus microscaphus) by the Mojave and Colorado Deserts.
The arroyo toad is restricted to rivers that have shallow, gravelly pools adjacent to sandy terraces.
Arroyo toads were historically found along the length of drainages in southern California from San Luis Obispo County to San Diego County, but now they survive primarily in the headwaters as small isolated populations (Sweet 1992, J. Stephenson, Cleveland National Forest, in litt., 1993).

 Arroyo Seco River
The Arroyo Seco is one of the few tributaries of the Salinas River that sustains a small population of the threatened steelhead trout, a federally protected species that migrates all the way from the Pacific Ocean to spawn in the clean riffles and deep cold pools of the river.
The river corridor also includes the narrow and rugged Arroyo Seco-Indians road, which was closed by landslides during the 1997 flood and has yet to be rebuilt.
The upper Arroyo Seco River also has two popular campgrounds that can be used as base camps to explore the river's source and several tributaries in the Ventana Wilderness.

Although arroyo toads are not known to occupy Agua Caliente Creek and we have not included Agua Caliente Creek as part of the critical habitat designation for the toad, we have included the confluence of Agua Caliente Creek and the Santa Ynez River because arroyo toads occupy the Santa Ynez River.
Arroyo toads were rumored to occur in the Victorville area sometime during the 1990s, probably associated with the last significant El Ni[ntilde]o event; however, there have been no confirmed reports from this area since 1982.
Since arroyo toads are found in a variety of ecologically and geographically distinct areas, it is important to preserve the species' genetic diversity as well as the variety of ecological environments in which it is endemic.

Six miles of the Arroyo Seco Stream ranging from the top of Devil's Gate Reservoir into the San Gabriel Mountains are included in the designation that will take effect on March 9, 2001.
The primary elements for the arroyo toad are those habitat components that are essential for the primary biological needs of foraging, breeding, growth of larvae (tadpoles) and juveniles, intra-specific communication, dispersal, migration, genetic exchange, and sheltering.
To recover the arroyo toad to the point where it can be downlisted or delisted, it is essential to preserve the species’ genetic diversity as well as the variety of ecological environments in which it has persisted.

 Water Rights Decision 1638
As discussed in Section 2.2, the flow in Conejo Creek is composed of accretions to the creek from the adjoining groundwater aquifer, water from the City's storm drainage system, discharge of treated waste water from the Hill Canyon WWTP, and natural flow from precipitation.
Footnote23 In view of the significantly higher flows in Calleguas Creek downstream of the confluence with Conejo Creek during the months of November through March, the SWRCB concludes that there is water available for appropriation under the pending applications on Calleguas Creek for the months of December through March.
Since Conejo Creek is the primary source of water to meet riparian demands on both Conejo Creek and Calleguas Creek in April, it is appropriate to examine water availability for applications on both creeks jointly for the month of April.

 Arroyo Grande Creek Steelhead DFG Feb 1994
We have taken the position that in the interim period, the District should be required by the State Water Board to release 50% of the inflow into Lopez Reservoir to protect and restore the public trust resources of the Arroyo Grande Creek from the dam to the ocean.
The reasoning behind our flow recommendation is the balancing of the beneficial uses between the water users and the public trust resources until an IFIM study determines the amount of water necessary to protect the public trust fishery resources.
We also raised the question whether the District's direct diversion from Arroyo Grande Creek is the authorized or unauthorization use of the state's water.

Approaching the mouth of Arroyo Chiquito (Wildcat Creek) from La Bahia de San Pablo in 1850, one observes several changes.

As we follow Wildcat Creek across the flatlands, it passes just north of Juan Jose Castro's adobe, built with an unusual cellar which elevated the house 3.5 ft above ground, presumably to avoid flooding.
