A Land Management Plan Administrative Change
An administrative change was made to the Land Management Plan to add the Saint Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial and National Monument boundary to the Forest Plan. In 2019, Congress authorized the creation of the Saint Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial Act for the purpose of honoring the victims of the Saint Francis Dam disaster. Ongoing planning and development of a National Memorial/Monument at the site in the San Francisquito Canyon was a collaborative effort.
The site is approximately 353 Acres and is located at Township 5 & 6 North, Range 15 & 16 West, San Bernardino Meridian, County of Los Angeles, CA.
