Executive Summary
Rincon Consultants Inc. (Rincon) was retained by the City of Fontana (City) to conduct a Cultural
Resources Assessment for the Specific Plan Amendment of the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific
Plan Project (Project) in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The project consists
of a Specific Plan Amendment for the approximately 102-acre project site consisting of six planning
areas that will contain commercial and residential uses along the north and south of Duncan Canyon
Road, east of Interstate 15 and west of Citrus Avenue. The project site is currently undeveloped. An
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously conducted for the project in 2007. The 2007 EIR
determined that the project would have a less than significant impact to cultural resources with
mitigation. Mitigation for the project included Native American monitoring during grading activities
(City of Fontana 2007).
This study addresses the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
includes a cultural resources records search, a Sacred Lands File search, Native American outreach, a
pedestrian survey, and the preparation of this technical report. This report conforms to the
Archaeological Resources Management Report (ARMR) guidelines set by the California Office of
Historic Preservation. The City is the lead agency under CEQA.
Four historic-period cultural resources were previously recorded within the project site:
P-36-012739: Perdew School foundation; P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site; P-36-012742:
Lytle Creek Winery; and P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District. Of these four resources, only
P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery appears to be eligible for listing in the California Register of
Historical Resources (CRHR); however, Rincon’s survey efforts were unable to relocate the resource
and extant remains of the resource do not contain integrity. Resource P-36-012739: Perdew School
foundation has not been evaluated for listing in the CRHR. Resource P-36-012740: Water
Homestead Site was recommended not eligible for listing in the CRHR, and portions of P-36-015376:
Grapeland Irrigation District was recommended ineligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP) and CRHR. During the pedestrian survey, three of the four resources
(P-36-012739: Perdew School foundation, P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery, and P-36-015376:
Grapeland Irrigation District) were not relocated, likely due to their destruction since being
recorded. Resource P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site was relocated and found to be in poor
condition; as a result, the resource is considered not eligible for listing in the NRHP or in the CRHR
under any of the criteria due to a lack of integrity. Because P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site
does not meet the definition of a historical resource in Public Resources Code Section 21084.1,
project implementation that would remove any material remains of the resource would not result in
a significant impact to cultural resources. Based on the findings of the current investigation, Rincon
recommends a finding of less than significant impact to historical resources under CEQA.
The pedestrian survey did not identify any new archaeological cultural resources within the project
site. The surveyors observed heavy disturbance throughout the project site in the form of three to
four inches of plowing and disking, several large modern trash dumps, and dense vegetation.
Historical aerial imagery indicates that the project site has had moderate disturbance due to
agricultural use, grading and building, demolition, or removal over the last 50 years. Based on this
information, the project site is considered to have a moderate sensitivity for archaeological cultural
resources. Consistent with the requirements of the 2007 EIR for the project, Rincon concurs with
the recommendation for Native American monitoring during ground disturbing activities. In
addition, Rincon recommends the following mitigation measures: a worker’s environmental
City of Fontana Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Amendment Project

awareness program should by conducted prior to earthmoving activities, archaeological monitoring
during ground disturbing activities by a qualified archaeologist, and provisions for unanticipated
discoveries of cultural resources during project implementation. With adherence to these measures,
Rincon recommends a finding of less than significant impact to archaeological cultural resources
with mitigation under CEQA. Recommended measures are provided in further detail in Chapter 6 of
this assessment. The project is also required to adhere to State regulations regarding the
unanticipated discovery of human remains.
Introduction
0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 3
1 Introduction
Rincon Consultants Inc. (Rincon) was retained by the City of Fontana (City) to conduct a Cultural
Resources Assessment for the Specific Plan Amendment of the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific
Plan Project (Project) in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The project consists
of a Specific Plan Amendment for the approximately 102-acre project site consisting of six planning
areas that will contain commercial and residential uses along the north and south of Duncan Canyon
Road, east of Interstate 15 and west of Citrus Avenue. The project site is currently undeveloped. An
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously conducted for the project in 2007. The 2007 EIR
determined that the project would have a less than significant impact to cultural resources with
mitigation. Mitigation for the project included Native American monitoring during grading activities
(City of Fontana 2007). This cultural resources study analyses impacts to cultural resources within
Planning Areas 1-5 and 7-10.
This assessment addresses the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
includes a cultural resources records search, a Sacred Lands File search, Native American outreach, a
pedestrian survey, and the preparation of this technical report. This report conforms to the
Archaeological Resources Management Report (ARMR) guidelines set by the California Office of
Historic Preservation. The City is the lead agency under CEQA.
Project Location
The project site consists of six planning areas along the north and south sides of Duncan Canyon
Road totaling approximately 102 acres in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The
project lies within the Devore, Calif. topographic quadrangle, Township 1 North, Range 6 West,
Section 12-14, 23-26; Township 1 North, Range 5 West, Section 7, 18, 19, 30; and Township 1 North,
Range 5 West, Section 12, 13, 24, 25. The project site is bounded by Interstate 15 to the north and
west, Citrus Avenue to the east, and the Southern California Edison (SCE) Transmission Line Corridor
to the south (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The project site lies on an alluvial plain and is undeveloped.
Project description
The existing Specific Plan was established in March 2007. The project aimed to establish a unique
master planned development that captured the City’s vision for the “Regional Mixed Use” zoning
classification in northern Fontana, and the City’s vision for a Corporate Corridor along the I-15
Freeway. Ten distinct development areas, designated as “Planning Areas,” were established in order
to implement the goals and objectives of the Specific Plan. Land use designations included
Commercial, Mixed Use, Medium Density Residential, and Medium High Density Residential. The
project included the development of up to 574,500 square feet (sf) of commercial uses; 842
dwelling units in three separate residential villages; a Corporate Office Corridor, including mid-rise
office buildings, a multi-story hotel, commercial businesses and restaurants; pedestrian corridors
and bridges, and the construction of the realigned Lytle Creek Road on a 102-acre project site.
The Specific Plan Amendment re-envisions the mix of commercial and residential uses within six
planning areas with consideration of current planning and market conditions.

Regulatory Setting
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency to determine whether a
project may have a significant effect on historical resources (Public Resources Code [PRC], Section
21084.1) or tribal cultural resources (PRC Section 21074[a][1][A]-[B]). A historical resource is a
resource listed, or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical
Resources (CRHR); a resource included in a local register of historical resources; or an object,
building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript that a lead agency determines to be
historically significant (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5[a][1-3]).
A resource shall be considered historically significant if it meets any of the following criteria:
1) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
California’s history and cultural heritage; or
2) Is associated with the lives of persons important to our past; or
3) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction,
or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values;
or
4) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
Generally, a cultural resource must be at least 50 years of age to be considered for listing on the
CRHR. Resources that have achieved significance in less than 50 years may also be eligible for
inclusion in the CRHR, provided that enough time has lapsed to obtain a scholarly perspective on the
events or individuals associated with the resource (Office of Historic Preservation n.d.:3).
If it can be demonstrated that a project will cause damage to a unique archaeological resource, the
lead agency may require reasonable efforts be made to permit any or all of these resources to be
preserved in place or left in an undisturbed state. To the extent that resources cannot be left
undisturbed, mitigation measures are required (PRC Section 21083.2[a], [b]).
PRC Section 21083.2(g) defines a unique archaeological resource as an artifact, object, or site about
which it can be demonstrated clearly that, without merely adding to the current body of knowledge,
there is a high probability that it meets any of the following criteria:
1) Contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions and that
there is a demonstrable public interest in that information;
2) Has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest of its type or the best available
example of its type;
3) Is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event
or person.
Local Regulation
Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan
A General Plan Amendment for the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan was adopted by the
City in March 2007. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project outlines
recommendations for projecting cultural resources within the project site. The 2007 EIR included
Introduction
0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 7
mitigation for then-existing historic-period built environment; however, these resources no longer
exist, and the mitigation measures that address impacts to those resources are not appliable to the
current project. The mitigation and standard measures applicable to the current project efforts are
as follows:
Mitigation Measure 4.10.1: A Native American monitor shall be present during grading activities at
the site, to ensure that any features or deposits not previously known are identified and subject to
data recovery efforts. The monitor shall have the responsibility to redirect grading away from any
important deposits that are uncovered, and subsequently, to initiate the evaluation of any
discoveries to determine if further data recovery work is necessary. Should any discoveries
necessitate further work, this shall be accomplished in consultation with local tribes. At the
conclusion of the monitoring process, a report shall be presented to the City to confirm the
monitoring effort and describe any archaeological work that was required.
Standard Condition 4.10.1: If human remains are encountered during excavation activities at the
site, all work shall halt and the County Coroner shall be notified (Section 5097.98 of the Public
Resources Code). The Coroner will determine whether the remains are of forensic interest. If the
Coroner, with the aid of the County-approved archaeologist, determines that the remains are
prehistoric, he/she will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC will be
responsible for designating the most likely descendant (MLD), who will be responsible for the
ultimate disposition of the remains, as required by Section 7050.5 of the California Health and
Safety Code. The MLD will make his/her recommendation within 24 hours of their notification by
the NAHC. This recommendation may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of the
human remains and any items associated with Native American burials (Section 7050.5 of the Health
and Safety Code).

2 Natural and Cultural Setting
Environmental Setting
The project site is located within northern Fontana in an undeveloped area. The project site is
situated at an elevation of 573 meters (1880 feet [ft]) above mean sea level (AMSL). Vegetation
mainly consists non-native grasses, weed, and ruderal plant.
Cultural Setting
Prehistoric Context
During the twentieth century, many archaeologists developed chronological sequences to explain
prehistoric cultural changes within all or portions of southern California (c.f., Jones and Klar 2007;
Moratto 1984). Wallace (1955, 1978) devised a prehistoric chronology for the southern California
region based on early studies and focused on data synthesis that included four horizons: Early Man,
Milling Stone, Intermediate, and Late Prehistoric. Though initially lacking the chronological precision
of absolute dates (Moratto 1984:159), Wallace’s (1955) synthesis has been modified and improved
using thousands of radiocarbon dates obtained by southern California researchers over recent
decades (Byrd and Raab 2007:217; Koerper and Drover 1983; Koerper et al. 2002; Mason and
Peterson 1994). The prehistoric chronological sequence for southern California presented below is a
composite based on Wallace (1955) and Warren (1968) as well as later studies, including Koerper
and Drover (1983).
Early Man Horizon (ca. 10,000 – 6000 BCE)
Numerous pre-8000 BCE sites have been identified along the mainland coast and Channel Islands of
southern California (c.f., Erlandson 1991; Johnson et al. 2002; Jones and Klar 2007; Moratto 1984;
Rick et al. 2001:609). The Arlington Springs site on Santa Rosa Island produced human femurs dating
to approximately 13,000 years ago (Arnold et al. 2004; Johnson et al. 2002). On nearby San Miguel
Island, human occupation at Daisy Cave (CA-SMI-261) has been dated to nearly 13,000 years ago
and included basketry greater than 12,000 years old, the earliest on the Pacific Coast (Arnold et al.
2004).
Although few Clovis or Folsom style fluted points have been found in southern California (e.g., Dillon
2002; Erlandson et al. 1987), Early Man Horizon sites are generally associated with a greater
emphasis on hunting than later horizons. Recent data indicates that the Early Man economy was a
diverse mixture of hunting and gathering, including a significant focus on aquatic resources in
coastal areas (e.g., Jones et al. 2002) and on inland Pleistocene lakeshores (Moratto 1984). A warm
and dry 3,000-year period called the Altithermal began around 6000 BCE. The conditions of the
Altithermal are likely responsible for the change in human subsistence patterns at this time,
including a greater emphasis on plant foods and small game.
Milling Stone Horizon (6000–3000 BCE)
Wallace (1955:219) defined the Milling Stone Horizon as “marked by extensive use of milling stones
and mullers, a general lack of well-made projectile points, and burials with rock cairns.” The
dominance of such artifact types indicate a subsistence strategy oriented around collecting plant
Natural and Cultural Setting
0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 9
foods and small animals. A broad spectrum of food resources were consumed including small and
large terrestrial mammals, sea mammals, birds, shellfish and other littoral and estuarine species,
near-shore fishes, yucca, agave, and seeds and other plant products (Kowta 1969; Reinman 1964).
Variability in artifact collections over time and from the coast to inland sites indicates that Milling
Stone Horizon subsistence strategies adapted to environmental conditions (Byrd and Raab
2007:220). Lithic artifacts associated with Milling Stone Horizon sites are dominated by locally
available tool stone and in addition to ground stone tools, such as manos and metates, chopping,
scraping, and cutting tools, are very common. Kowta (1969) attributes the presence of numerous
scraper-plane tools in Milling Stone Horizon collections to the processing of agave or yucca for food
or fiber. The mortar and pestle, associated with acorns or other foods processed through pounding,
were first used during the Milling Stone Horizon and increased dramatically in later periods (Wallace
1955, 1978; Warren 1968).
Two types of artifacts that are considered diagnostic of the Milling Stone period are the cogged
stone and discoidal, most of which have been found within sites dating between 4000 and 1000 BCE
(Moratto 1984:149), though possibly as far back as 5500 BCE (Couch et al. 2009). The cogged stone
is a ground stone object that has gear-like teeth on the perimeter and is produced from a variety of
materials. The function of cogged stones is unknown, but many scholars have postulated ritualistic
or ceremonial uses (c.f., Dixon 1968:64-65; Eberhart 1961:367) based on the materials used and
their location near to burials and other established ceremonial artifacts as compared to typical
habitation debris. Similar to cogged stones, discoidals are found in the archaeological record
subsequent to the introduction of the cogged stone. Cogged stones and discoidals were often
purposefully buried, or “cached.” They are most common in sites along the coastal drainages from
southern Ventura County southward and are particularly abundant at some Orange County sites,
although a few specimens have been found inland as far east as Cajon Pass (Dixon 1968:63; Moratto
1984:149). Cogged stones have been collected in Riverside County and their distribution appears to
center on the Santa Ana River basin (Eberhart 1961).
Intermediate Horizon (3000 BCE. – CE 500)
Wallace’s Intermediate Horizon dates from approximately 3000 BCE - CE 500 and is characterized by
a shift toward a hunting and maritime subsistence strategy, as well as greater use of plant foods.
During the Intermediate Horizon, a noticeable trend occurred toward greater adaptation to local
resources including a broad variety of fish, land mammal, and sea mammal remains along the coast.
Tool kits for hunting, fishing, and processing food and materials reflect this increased diversity, with
flake scrapers, drills, various projectile points, and shell fishhooks being manufactured.
Mortars and pestles became more common during this transitional period, gradually replacing
manos and metates as the dominant milling equipment. Many archaeologists believe this change in
milling stones signals a change from the processing and consuming of hard seed resources to the
increasing reliance on acorn (e.g., Glassow et al. 1988; True 1993). Mortuary practices during the
Intermediate typically included fully flexed burials oriented toward the north or west (Warren
1968:2-3).
Late Prehistoric Horizon (CE 500–Historic Contact)
During Wallace’s (1955, 1978) Late Prehistoric Horizon the diversity of plant food resources and land
and sea mammal hunting increased even further than during the Intermediate Horizon. More
classes of artifacts were observed during this period and high quality exotic lithic materials were
used for small finely worked projectile points associated with the bow and arrow. Steatite

containers were made for cooking and storage and an increased use of asphalt for waterproofing is
noted. More artistic artifacts were recovered from Late Prehistoric sites and cremation became a
common mortuary custom. Larger, more permanent villages supported an increased population size
and social structure (Wallace 1955:223).
Warren (1968) attributes this dramatic change in material culture, burial practices, and subsistence
focus to the westward migration of desert people he called the Takic, or Numic, Tradition in Los
Angeles, Orange, and western Riverside counties. This Takic Tradition was formerly referred to as
the “Shoshonean wedge” (Warren 1968), but this nomenclature is no longer used to avoid
confusion with ethnohistoric and modern Shoshonean groups (Heizer 1978:5; Shipley 1978:88, 90).
Modern Gabrielino/Tongva in western Riverside County are generally considered by archaeologists
to be descendants of these prehistoric Uto-Aztecan, Takic-speaking populations that settled along
the California coast during the Late Prehistoric Horizon.
Ethnographic Overview
The project area is located in within the Gabrieleño territory. The name “Gabrieleño” denotes those
people who were administered by the Spanish from the San Gabriel Mission and included people
from the Gabrieleño area proper, as well as other social groups (Kroeber 1925; Bean and Smith
1978:538). Archaeological evidence points to the Gabrieleño arriving in the Los Angeles Basin
sometime around 500 BCE, but this has been a subject of debate. The term Gabrieleno was imposed
upon the tribe by Spanish Missionaries, and descendants have chosen to use their original name,
Tongva (Welch 2006). This term is used in the remainder of this section to refer to the pre-contact
inhabitants of the Los Angeles basin and their descendants.
The Tongva language belongs to the Takic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, which can be
traced to the Great Basin region (Mithun 2001). This language family includes dialects spoken by the
nearby Juaneño and Luiseño to the southeast, the Serrano and Cahuilla to the northeast, and the
Tataviam to the northwest, but is considerably different from those of the Chumash people living to
the northwest and the Diegueño (including Ipai, Tipai, and Kumeyaay) people living to the south.
Tongva lands encompassed the greater Los Angeles Basin and three Channel Islands: San Clemente,
San Nicolas, and Santa Catalina. The Tongva established large, permanent villages in the fertile
lowlands along rivers and streams, and in sheltered areas along the coast, stretching from the
foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. A total tribal population has been
estimated of at least 5,000 (Bean and Smith 1978:540), but recent ethnohistoric work suggests a
number approaching 10,000 (O’Neil 2002). Political organization followed a patrilocal and patrilineal
pattern. Typically, the oldest son would lead a family. Chieftainship was also passed down
patrilineally. A Chari, or chief of a village or political grouping, was separated from any religious
leadership (King 2011).
At the time of Spanish contact, the basis of Tongva religious life was the Chinigchinich cult, centered
on the last of a series of heroic mythological figures. Chinigchinich gave instruction on laws and
institutions, and taught the people how to dance, the primary religious act for this society. He later
withdrew into heaven, where he rewarded the faithful and punished those who disobeyed his laws
(Kroeber 1925: 637–638). The Chinigchinich religion seems to have been relatively new when the
Spanish arrived. It was spreading south into the Southern Takic groups even as Christian missions
were being built, and elements of Chinigchinich beliefs suggest it was a syncretic mixture of
Christianity and native religious practices (McCawley 1996: 143-144).
Natural and Cultural Setting
0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 11
Houses constructed by the Tongva were large, circular, domed structures made of willow poles
thatched with tule that could hold up to 50 people (Bean and Smith 1978). Other structures served
as sweathouses, menstrual huts, ceremonial enclosures, and probably communal granaries. Cleared
fields for races and games, such as lacrosse and pole throwing, were created adjacent to Tongva
villages (McCawley 1996: 27).
The Tongva subsistence economy was centered on gathering and hunting. The surrounding
environment was rich and varied, and the tribe exploited mountains, foothills, valleys, deserts,
riparian, estuarine, and open and rocky coastal eco-niches. Like most native Californians, acorns
were the staple food (an established industry by the time of the early Intermediate Period). Acorns
were supplemented by the roots, leaves, seeds, and fruits of a wide variety of flora (e.g., islay,
cactus, yucca, sages, and agave). Fresh water and saltwater fish, shellfish, birds, reptiles, insects, and
large and small mammals, were also consumed (Kroeber 1925:631–632; Bean and Smith 1978:546;
McCawley 1996: 119–123, 128–131).
The Tongva used a wide variety of tools and implements to gather food resources. These included
the bow and arrow, traps, digging sticks, nets, blinds, throwing sticks and slings, spears, harpoons,
and hooks. Like the Chumash, the Tongva made oceangoing plank canoes (known as a ti’at) capable
of holding six to 14 people and used for fishing, travel, and trade between the mainland and the
Channel Islands. Tule reed canoes were employed for near-shore fishing (McCawley 1996: 117-127).
Tongva people processed food with a variety of tools, including hammerstones and anvils, mortars
and pestles, manos and metates, strainers, leaching baskets and bowls, knives, bone saws, and
wooden drying racks. Food was consumed from a variety of vessels. Catalina Island steatite was
used to make ollas and cooking vessels (Kroeber 1925:629; McCawley 1996: 129–138).
Deceased Tongva were either buried or cremated, with inhumation more common on the Channel
Islands and the neighboring mainland coast and cremation predominating on the remainder of the
coast and in the interior (Harrington 1942; McCawley 1996:157). At the behest of the Spanish
missionaries, cremation essentially ceased during the post-Contact period (McCawley 1996:157).
Historical Overview
Post-Contact history for the state of California is generally divided into three periods: the Spanish
Period (1769–1822), Mexican Period (1822–1848), and American Period (1848–present). Although
Spanish, Russian, and British explorers visited the area for brief periods between 1529 and 1769, the
Spanish Period in California begins with the establishment in 1769 of a settlement at San Diego and
the founding of Mission San Diego de Alcalá, the first of 21 missions constructed between 1769 and
1823. Independence from Spain in 1821 marks the beginning of the Mexican Period, and the signing
of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, ending the Mexican-American War, signals the
beginning of the American Period when California became a territory of the United States.
Spanish exploration of what was then known as Alta (upper) California began when Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo led the first European expedition into the region in 1542. For more than 200 years after his
initial expedition, Spanish, Portuguese, British, and Russian explorers sailed the Alta California coast
and made limited inland expeditions, but they did not establish permanent settlements (Bean 1968;
Rolle 2003). Spanish entry into what was to become Riverside County did not occur until 1774 when
Juan Bautista de Anza led an expedition from Sonora, Mexico to Monterey in northern California.
In 1769, Gaspar de Portolá and Franciscan Father Junipero Serra established the first Spanish
settlement at Mission San Diego de Alcalá. This was the first of 21 missions erected by the Spanish
City of Fontana Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Amendment Project
12
between 1769 and 1823. The establishment of the missions marks the first sustained occupation of
Alta California by the Spanish. In addition to the missions, four presidios and three pueblos (towns)
were established throughout the state (State Lands Commission 1982).
During this period, Spain also deeded ranchos to prominent citizens and soldiers, though very few in
comparison to the subsequent Mexican Period. To manage and expand their herds of cattle on
these large ranchos, colonists enlisted the labor of the surrounding Native American population
(Engelhardt 1927a). The missions were responsible for administrating to the local Indians as well as
converting the population to Christianity (Engelhardt 1927b). The influx of European settlers
brought the local Native American population in contact with European diseases which they had no
immunity against, resulting in catastrophic reduction in native populations throughout the state
(McCawley 1996).
Mexican Period (1822–1848)
The Mexican Period commenced when news of the success of the Mexican War of Independence
(1810-1821) reached California in 1822. This period saw the federalization of mission lands in
California with the passage of the Secularization Act of 1833. This Act enabled Mexican governors in
California to distribute former mission lands to individuals in the form land grants. Successive
Mexican governors made more than 700 land grants between 1822 and 1846, putting most of the
state’s lands into private ownership for the first time (Shumway 2007). About eight land grants
(ranchos) were located in San Bernardino County.
American Period (1848–Present)
The American Period officially began with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, in
which the United States agreed to pay Mexico $15 million for ceded territory, including California,
Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming, and pay an additional
$3.25 million to settle American citizens claims against Mexico. Settlement of southern California
increased dramatically in the early American Period. Many ranchos in the county were sold or
otherwise acquired by Americans, and most were subdivided into agricultural parcels or towns.
The discovery of gold in northern California in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, despite the first
California gold being previously discovered in southern California at Placerita Canyon in 1842 (Guinn
1977; Workman 1935:26). Southern California remained dominated by cattle ranches in the early
American period, though droughts and increasing population resulted in farming and more urban
professions supplanting ranching through the late nineteenth century. In 1850, California was
admitted into the United States and by 1853, the population of California exceeded 300,000.
Thousands of settlers and immigrants continued to move into the state, particularly after
completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869.
City of Fontana
Located in near the San Bernardino Mountains in southwest San Bernardino County, the city of
Fontana was founded in 1913 (City of Fontana n.d.). Fontana started as an agricultural town with
vineyards, citrus orchards, and chicken ranches, becoming an industrial town by 1942 as the Kaiser
Steel Mill, founded by Henry J. Kaiser, opened and became a primary source of employment
(Fontana Chamber of Commerce n.d.; City of Fontana n.d.). The industrial industry continued to rise
and prosper in Fontana as the city is located along major trade routes: Interstate 10, Interstate 15,
Interstate 210, and near a Union Pacific Railroad line (City of Fontana n.d.). The placement of the
Natural and Cultural Setting

city continued to allow Fontana to grow and the city currently serves over 200,000 residents (United
States Census Bureau 2019).

3 Background Research
Background research for the cultural resources study included records searches, a review of
historical maps and aerial photographs, Sacred Lands File search, and Native American outreach. A
summary of each of these efforts follows.
California Historical Resources Information System
On January 26, 2021, Rincon received records search results from the California Historical Resources
Information System at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State
University, Fullerton for the proposed project. The purpose of the records search was to identify
previously conducted cultural resources studies and previously recorded cultural resources located
within the existing project site and within a 1-mile radius of the project site. In addition to the SCCIC
records search, a review of the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of
Historical Resources (CRHR), the California Inventory of Historic Resources, the Built Environment
Resource Directory, and the Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility list was conducted.
Appendix A provides a summary of the records search results.
Previous Studies
The SCCIC records search identified 43 previously conducted cultural resources studies conducted
within the 1-mile radius of the project site (Attachment B), six of which encompassed the current
project site (SB-01407, SB-02621, SB-04012, SB-06615, SB-08099, and SB-08269). Four of the studies
including portions of the current project site are discussed in more detail below. Due to COVID-19,
in person records review at the SCCIC is not possible and only digitized sources could be accessed.
Two studies (SB-04012 and SB-06615) are not digitized and therefore are currently unavailable.
SB-01407
John Charles Anicic Jr. prepared study SB-01407, Historical Brief on Grapeland Sierra Heights
Development, in 1983. The study was conducted for the Fontana Historical Society to demonstrate
that the area contains important sites that should be preserved for the future of Fontana. The study
included a review of maps and figures, a review of the historical setting, and background research of
the development of Grapeland within North Fontana, totaling approximately 10,600 acres;
however, only 1500 acres were included in Anicic’s discussion of the Grapeland Irrigation District.
Anicic identified the historic-period Grapeland Irrigation District, consisting of different settlements
and resources. The portion of the Grapeland Irrigation District included in Anicic’s analysis includes
the Devore Freeway (present-day Interstate 15) to the west, Riverside Avenue to the east, Rialito
ditch to the north, and Summit Avenue to the south. The current project site lies within these
boundaries. Anicic identified the Perdew School and the J.D. Ousterhouts House as part of the
Grapeland Irrigation District and are included in the current project site. No other district
contributors were identified by Anicic within the current project site. The study offered no
conclusions or recommendations concerning the historic resources notated in the study.

SB-02621
Steven Alexandrowicz, Anne Duffield-Stoll, Jeanette McKenna, Susan Alexandrowicz, Arthur Kuhner,
and Erica Scott prepared study SB-02621, Cultural and Paleontological Resources Investigations
within the North Fontana Infrastructure Area, City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California, in
1992. The study consisted of background research, formation of the area of potential effects, oral
history interviews, a review of geomorphic provinces, and a pedestrian survey. The study identified
the Grapeland Irrigation District and multiple homesteads within the study area. The study included
the entirety of the current project site and identified the current project site as existing within the
northwestern Grapeland Irrigation District boundaries. The study recommended that the identified
cultural sites require additional professional assessment and evaluation.
SB-04012
Miriam Duhdal conducted study SB-04012, Historical/Archaeological Report West San Bernardino
County Water District Zone 6 & 7 Reservoir & Waterline Improvements & Installation In & Near the
City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California 21PP, in 2002. Due to COVID-19, in person
records review is not possible and only digitized sources could be accessed. This study has not been
digitized, and therefore, is not available for review at this time.
SB-06615
Jay K. Sander conducted study SB-06615, Archaeological Survey Report for Southern California
Edison’s Silva 12kV Facilities Relocation Project: Duncan Canyon Road, Fontana, San Bernardino
County, California, in 2009. Due to COVID-19, in person records review is not possible and only
digitized sources could be accessed. This study has not been digitized, and therefore, due to COVID-
19 protocol, this study is not available for review at this time.
SB-08099
William Betts prepared study SB-08099, Tracking the Trackless Trolley: An Archaeological
Examination of the Lone Pine Canyon Trolley, in 2014. The study worked to discredit the claim that
there was a trackless trolley operating in the Cajon Pass in 1916 that transported ore for the Lone
Pine Utilities Company. Betts analyzed proposed route of the trolley from State Highway 138 to
State Highway 2 and the Big Pine Recreational area. Betts also conducted archival research,
reviewed historical records, and completed a field survey. During the field survey, artifacts relevant
to the study were identified at 89 locations; however, Betts concluded that the resources were likely
due to telephone system infrastructure that was built after 1920 and not associated with a trolley
system. The study was unable to prove the operation of a trackless trolley within the study area. The
study included the northwestern portion of the current project area; no cultural resources were
identified within the current project area.
SB-08269
Stephen Bryn, Gary Jones, and Gabrielle Duff of ICF International (ICF) conducted study SB-08269,
Archaeological Survey Report Interstate 15 (I-15) Corridor Project, in 2017. The study consisted of
background research, a literature review, Native American consultation, a review of site records,
and a field survey. The study was conducted to determine potential impacts to cultural resources for
the enhancements project for I-15, which included the construction of two express lanes in each
direction of the I-15 corridor. The study noted that the study area of potential effects had been
previously disturbed due to the construction and maintenance of roadways, residential and
City of Fontana Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Amendment Project
16
industrial development, and agricultural use. No previously unrecorded cultural resources were
identified during the effort. The study included the westernmost portion of the project site, and no
cultural resources were identified in the project site.
Previously Recorded Resources
The SCCIC records search project site identified 35 cultural resources located within a 1-mile radius
of the project site. Four of these resources, or portions thereof (P-36-012739: Perdew School
foundation, P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site, P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery, and
P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District), are recorded within the project site. All 35 resources are
historic-period resources, including 24 archaeological sites, five built environment resources (three
structures and one building), one historic district, three historic-aged roads, and three
multi-categorized resources. None of which will be impacted by the proposed project. Table 1 below
summarizes the resources. The resource within the project site is described in detail below.

P-36-012739: Perdew School Foundation
Sherri Andrews of ASM Affiliates, Inc., recorded resource P-36-012739 as the Perdew School
Foundation in 2005. The resource is recorded as a one to two course high stone foundation
constructed of cobbles and concrete measuring approximately 16 inches wide in cross section.
Andrews (2005) stated that the foundation was in good condition during the recorded, except for
the northern wall. A solitary church key-opened can was found to the south of the resource, but
Andrews was unable to associate the can to the foundation. No other cultural resources were
identified, and the resource has not been evaluated for inclusion in the NRHP or CRHR.

P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site
Sherri Andrews of ASM Affiliates, Inc., recorded resource P-36-012740 as the Waters Homestead
Site in 2005. The site was recorded as a U-shaped rock and cobble enclosure with a trash scatter and
a rectangular concrete reservoir. Andrews (2005) comments that the resource had been previously
identified in a resource inventory as the Waters home site. The associated trash scatter consists of
glass fragments, machine parts, and building debris. The resource has not been evaluated for
inclusion in the NRHP or CRHR.
P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery
Sinéad Ni Ghabhláin of ASM Affiliates, Inc., recorded resource P-36-012742 as the Lytle Creek
Winery in 2005. The resource is recorded as a two-story home with two cobblestone winery
buildings, a concrete warehouse, stables, garage, barn, and privy. Ghabhláin (2005) dated the
house, stables, and barn to the 1880s, the cobblestone winery buildings to the 1930s, warehouse to
the 1940s, and a cinder block add-on to one of the cobblestone winery buildings to 1945. The
property operated an 80-acre vineyard and wine production following prohibition to 1960 when the
property was sold by Robert and Catherine Lasagna. In addition to the buildings, the resource
includes a cistern, cobblestone fencing, and landscaping features. Ghabhláin (2005) recommended
the winery eligible for listing in the CRHR under Criterion 1 for its association with wine production
in Fontana and concluded that the Lytle Creek Winery appears eligible for listing as a historic
district. Additionally, the two cobble stone buildings were recommended eligible for listing in the
CRHR under Criterion 3 for their distinctive characteristics within the region and method of
construction.
P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District
In 1987, John Anacic recorded resource P-36-015376 as the area known as Grapeland. Anacic
identified historic-period structures and irrigation ditches associated with the town of Grapeland,
which once consisted of stores, a school, small ranches, and a post office along Lytle Creek Road
north of Fontana. In 1989, the Grapeland Irrigation District was submitted as a Point of Historical
Interest to the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation. According to the submission,
the Grapeland Irrigation District emerged in 1890 as an early settlement of North Fontana for
farming; however, the venture north failed. Although the venture failed, remnants of the operation
remained, including irrigation ditches, homesteads, and reservoirs. ICF revisited segments of the
district in 2016 and reported that no remnants of the historic district were left within the ICF study
area, all of which are located outside of the current project area. ICF (2016) recommended the
portions studied as not eligible for the NRHP or CRHR.
Historical Imagery Review
Rincon completed a review of historical topographic maps and aerial imagery to ascertain the
development history of the project site. In a review of historical topographic maps dating from 1896
to 1929 of the project site, the land is depicted as undeveloped depict the project site as
undeveloped land with a north-south trending dirt road intersecting the central portion of the
project site (USGS 2021; NETR Online 2021). The 1936 Devore, Calif. Quadrangle 1:31680 scale map
depicts the project site bounded by Citrus Avenue to the east, Duncan Canyon Road running east-
west through the project site, and Lytle Creek Road to the west, which is carried through the 1966
Devore, Calif. 1:24,000 quadrangle (USGS 1963; 1966). Additionally, the 1936 Devore, Calif. 1:31860
Background Research
0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 21
scale map quadrangle no longer depicts the north-west trending dirt road through the central
portion of the project site. Aerial imagery from 1938 confirms that the project site was bounded by
Duncan Canyon Road to the south and Citrus Avenue to the east, with no north-south trending road
intersecting the central portion of the project site (NETR Online 2021). Imagery from 1938
additionally depicts two properties to the south of Duncan Canyon Road, presumed to be previously
discussed resources P-36-012740 (Waters Homestead Site) and P-36-012472 (Lytle Creek Winery)
(NETR Online 2021). By 1980, the Devore. Calif. quadrangle map shows I-15, and the project site is
bound by I-15 to the west (NETR Online 2021). Aerial imagery from 1980 does not depict resource P-
36-012740 (Waters Homestead Site), but resource P-36-012742 (Lytle Creek Winery) is depicted
next to Lytle Creek Road with the development of I-15 to the west. Imagery from 2002 to 2005
depicts portions of resource P-36-012742 (Lytle Creek Winery) as being demolished. By 2009, the
resource is no longer present on the aerial images and the project site is depicted in its current
condition (NETR Online 2021). From 1994 to present, grading across the project site is evidenced by
square patterns observed throughout the project site (NETR Online 2021).
Native American Heritage Commission
On December 2, 2020, Rincon contacted the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to
request a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search of the project site. As part of this request, Rincon asked the
NAHC to provide a contact list of Native American groups and/or individuals culturally affiliated with
the area who may have knowledge of tribal heritage resources at the project site and/or in the
vicinity (Attachment C). The NAHC emailed a response on December 9, 2020, stating the SLF search
was positive for the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation. With the response, the NAHC
provided a list of 17 tribes who may have knowledge of cultural resources within the project site. On
February 10, 2021, Rincon email letters to the 17, contacts provided by the NAHC. Correspondence
can be found in Appendix B of this report.
On February 10, 2021, the Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation responded via email stating
that they have no comment on the project and they defer to more local tribes.
Ryan Nordness, Cultural Resources Analyst of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, responded to
the outreach on February 10, 2021, via email. Mr. Nordness stated that the proposed project site is
located within the Serrano ancestral territory and is in close proximately to three known tribal
cultural resources, and that the tribe would like to consult under Assembly Bill 52 consultation as
required by CEQA.
Rincon received a response via email from Lucy Padilla, Archaeologist for the Agua Caliente Band of
Cahuilla Indians on March 10, 2021, stating that the project is not located within the Tribe’s

4 Field Survey
Methods
Rincon Senior Archaeologist Christopher Purtell, MA, RPA, and Archaeologist Ryan Glenn, MA, RPA,
conducted a pedestrian survey of the project site on February 11 and February 12, 2021. The
archaeologists surveyed the project site using transects spaced 10 meters apart and generally
oriented north-south. Areas of exposed ground surface were examined for artifacts (e.g., flaked
stone tools, tool-making debris, stone milling tools, ceramics, fire-affected rock [FAR]), ecofacts
(marine shell and bone), soil discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, soil
depressions, and features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., standing
exterior walls, postholes, foundations) or historic-period debris (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics). Ground
disturbances such as burrows and drainages were visually inspected. Survey notes were prepared by
the surveyor and are available upon request.
Additionally, the four previously recorded historic-period resource locations were visited during the
survey. The survey consisted of a visual inspection the resource locations to assess their overall
condition of the resources. Three of the resources (P-36-012739: Perdew School Foundation,
P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Windery, and P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District) were not
relocated during the survey efforts. One resource (P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site) was
relocated during the survey.
Results
The project site is generally located on an alluvial plain and soils consisted of medium to dark
colored brown sediment, with a silty-loamy texture that exhibited large quantities of round cobles
and rocks that measured between 2-cm and 20-cm in diameter. Ground visibility was generally poor
throughout the site, ranging from 30 to 40 percent, except for a few locations throughout the
project site where visibility was approximately 90 percent. Additionally, one portion of the project
site had 0 percent ground visibility due to gravel and showed evidence of being used as a parking
area and dumping zone. Low ground visibility across the project site was due to the present of
vegetation, evidence of plowing and disking approximately 3 to 4 inches in depth, and modern trash
dumping throughout the project site. No other disturbances were observed during the current
survey efforts. Photograph 1 through Photograph 4 depict project site conditions during the current
efforts.
The pedestrian survey updated the four previously recorded resources within the project site. These
resources consist of four previously recorded historic-aged resources [P-36-012739 (Perdew School
Foundation), P-012740 (Waters Homestead Site), P-36-012742 (Lytle Creek Winery), and
P-36-015376 (Grapeland Irrigation District)]. No new resources were recorded as a part of the
current efforts. The survey results as they relate to each resource are described in further detail
below.

Previously Recorded Resources
P-36-012739
Resource P-36-012739 is recorded as the stone foundation for the Perdew School that appears to be
one to two courses high. During the current efforts, the resource was not relocated and no other
cultural materials or features were observed. (Photograph 5).

P-36-012740
Resource P-36-012740 is recorded as a U-shaped rock and cobble enclosure with an associated trash
scatter and rectangular concrete reservoir. During the current survey effort (Montgomery et al.
2021), portions of the resource were relocated (Photograph 6). The surveyors relocated a
concentration of rocks and cobbles corresponding with the wall around the Waters Homestead as
previously recorded by Andres (2005). The feature has since been deflated, but the overall shape is
observable. There is a raised berm (two feet in height) that can be observed with associated
cobbles. Several historic-period artifacts were observed within the wall as noted in the previous site
record (glass, metal, and ceramic fragments), and a depression consistent with remnants of the
cistern was also present. However, the site area appears to be highly disturbed from previous
disking and plowing. Ground cover vegetation obscured ground visibility, making the identification
of other historic-period artifacts or features more difficult.

5 Resource Evaluations
Resources recorded and/or updated as part of the current study were evaluated for CRHR eligibility.
A cultural resource is considered historically significant and eligible for the CRHR if it:
1) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
California’s history and cultural heritage; or
2) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; or
3) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction,
or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values;
or
4) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
Although many sites may provide pertinent information to the research questions listed above, a
site must also maintain integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and
association. Integrity is a property’s ability to “convey its significance.” Should a resource meet any
of the CRHR criteria, but that resource lacks sufficient integrity, the resource may not qualify for
listing. The integrity of each resource is considered during CRHR evaluations.
Previously Recorded Resources
P-36-012739
Resource P-36-012739 is recorded as the Perdew School foundation: a stone foundation recorded
by Sherri Andrews of ASM Affiliates, Inc., in 2005. The current efforts were unable to relocate the
resource (stone foundations) or associated artifacts within the current survey boundaries. Rincon’s
survey was unable to relocate extant remains of the resource due to prior disturbance that has
dislocated the cultural constituents such that they are no longer in situ. For this reason, this
resource does not possess the ability to convey any potentially significant historical associations
under any CRHR criteria.
P-36-012740
Resource P-36-012740 is recorded as a U-shaped rock and cobble enclosure, with an associated
trash scatter, and concrete reservoir, recorded by Sherri Andrews of ASM Affiliates, Inc., as the
Waters Homestead in 2005. Rincon’s survey indicated that the resource has since been deflated and
heavily disturbed by plowing and disking. The 2007 EIR for the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Project
concluded that the resource was not eligible for listing in the CRHR and did not qualify as a historical
resource under CEQA (City of Fontana 2007). Rincon concurs with the previous findings.
P-36-012742
Resource P-36-012742 is recorded as the Lytle Creek Winery, including a two-story home with two
cobblestone winery buildings, a concrete warehouse, stables, garage, barn, and privy, recorded by
Sinéad Ni Ghabhláin of ASM Affiliates, Inc., in 2005. Ghabhláin recommended the resource eligible
for listing in the CRHR under Criteria 1 and 3 as the resource is associated with wine production in
Fontana, as well as cobblestone construction which was a distinctive characteristics and

0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 29
construction method within the region as stone was abundant and provided thick walls for good
insulation. Although the resource was recommended eligible for listing, the resource appears to
have been demolished between 2002 and 2009. Rincon’s survey was unable to relocate extant
remains of the resource due to prior disturbance that has dislocated the cultural constituents such
that they are no longer in situ. For this reason, this resource does not possess the ability to convey
any potentially significant historical associations under any CRHR criteria.
P-36-015376
Resource P-36-015376 is recorded as the Grapeland Irrigation District by John Anacic in 1987. The
current efforts were unable to relocate district contributors within the current survey boundaries.
No identifiable elements of the Grapeland Irrigation District were present during the current survey
efforts; thus, the project has no potential to physically impact the resource. Based on the scale and
nature of the proposed project development, visual or indirect impacts to P-36-015376 are not
anticipated due to the expansive size of the district and the location of known elements.

6 Recommendations
The records search identified four historic-period cultural resources were previously recorded within
the project site: P-36-012739: Perdew School foundation; P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site;
P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery; and P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District. Of these four
resources, only P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery appear to be eligible for listing in the California
Register of Historical Resources (CRHR); however, Rincon’s survey efforts were unable to relocate
the resource and extant remains of the resource do not contain integrity. Resource P-36-012739:
Perdew School foundation has not been evaluated for listing in the CRHR. Resource P-36-012740:
Water Homestead Site was recommended not eligible for listing in the CRHR, and portions of
P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District was recommended ineligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and CRHR. During the pedestrian survey, three of the four
resources (P-36-012739: Perdew School foundation, P-36-012742: Lytle Creek Winery, and
P-36-015376: Grapeland Irrigation District) were not relocated. Resource P-36-012740: Waters
Homestead Site was relocated during Rincon’s current survey efforts and was found to be in poor
condition; as a result, the resource is considered not eligible for listing in the CRHR under any of the
criteria due to a lack of integrity, consistent with the EIR findings for the Ventana at Duncan Canyon
Specific Plan project (City of Fontana 2007). Because P-36-012740: Waters Homestead Site does not
meet the definition of a historical resource in Public Resources Code Section 21084.1, project
implementation that would remove any material remains of the resource would not result in a
significant impact to cultural resources. Based on the findings of the current investigation, Rincon
recommends a finding of less than significant impact to historical resources under CEQA.
The pedestrian survey did not identify any cultural resources within the project site. The surveyors
observed heavy disturbance throughout the project site in the form of 3 to 4 inches of plowing and
disking, several large modern trash dumps, and dense vegetation. Historical aerial imagery indicates
that the project site has had moderate disturbance due to agricultural use, grading and building,
demolition, or removal over the last 50 years. Based on this information, the project site is
considered to have a moderate sensitivity for archaeological cultural resources. Consistent with the
requirements of the 2007 EIR for the project, Rincon concurs with the recommendation for Native
American monitoring during ground disturbing activities. In addition, Rincon recommends the
following mitigation measures: a worker’s environmental awareness program should by conducted
prior to earthmoving activities, archaeological monitoring during ground disturbing activities by a
qualified archaeologist, and provision for unanticipated discoveries of cultural resources during
project implementation. With adherence to these measures, Rincon recommends a finding of less
than significant impact to archaeological cultural resources with mitigation under CEQA. The
project is also required to adhere to State regulations regarding the unanticipated discovery of
human remains.
Worker’s Environmental Awareness Program
A qualified archaeologist who meets or exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s Professional
Qualifications Standards for archeology (National Park Service [NPS] 1983) should conduct WEAP
training, prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activities. The sensitivity training
should include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural
sensitivity issues, the regulatory environment, and the proper protocol for treatment and
Recommendations
0BCultural Resources Assessment Report 31
disposition of cultural materials in the event of a find. The training should be required for all
earthmoving construction personnel and a sign-in-sheet also will be required.
Native American Monitoring
Consistent with the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific
Plan Project adopted by the City of Fontana in 2007, Rincon recommends Native American
Monitoring for all project-related ground disturbing activities. Mitigation Measure 4.10.1 of the
2007 EIR states that during grading activities throughout the project site, a Native American monitor
should be present to ensure that previously unknown deposits or features are identified and subject
to data recovery efforts (City of Fontana). The monitor will have the responsibility to redirect work
away from important deposits that are uncovered from project implementation, and that the
deposits are subject to evaluation to determine if further data recovery is necessary. The 2007 EIR
further stipulates that any discoveries requiring further works should be in consultation with local
tribes and that upon conclusion of the monitoring efforts a final report should be submitted to the
City for review (City of Fontana).
Archaeological Monitoring
Rincon recommends archaeological monitoring of all project-related ground disturbing activities by
a qualified archaeologist as designated by the lead agency. Archaeological monitoring should be
performed under the guidance and direction of a Project Archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the
Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archeology (National Park Service 1983).
Monitors will have the authority to halt and redirect work should any archaeological resources be
identified during monitoring. If archaeological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing
activities, work in the immediate area must halt and the find evaluated for listing in the CRHR.
Construction monitoring may be reduced or halted at the discretion of the Project Archaeologist, in
consultation with the lead agency, as warranted by conditions that include, but are not limited to
encountering bedrock, non-native sediments (infill), or negative findings. Should archaeological
spot-checking be recommended by the Project Archaeologist, it will only occur in areas of new
construction, where ground disturbance will extend to depths not previously reached (unless those
depths are within bedrock). Upon completion of project related ground disturbance and monitoring
efforts, a monitoring report should be submitted to the City for review and approval. The final
report should be transmitted to the South Central Coastal Information Center housed at California
State University, Fullerton.
Unanticipated Discovery of Cultural Resources
In the unlikely event archaeological resources are unexpectedly encountered during ground-
disturbing activities after monitoring has been reduced, work in the immediate area including a
50-foot buffer should be halted and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s
Professional Qualifications Standards for archeology (National Park Service 1983) should be
contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the find is prehistoric, then a Native American
representative should also be contacted to participate in the evaluation of the find. If necessary, the
evaluation may require preparation of a treatment plan and archaeological testing for CRHR
eligibility. If the discovery proves to be eligible for the CRHR and cannot be avoided by the proposed
City of Fontana Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Amendment Project
32
project, additional work, such as data recovery excavation, may be warranted to mitigate any
significant impacts to cultural resources to less than a significant level.
Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains
In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the San Bernardino County Coroner
must be notified immediately and all work within the immediate area shall be halted and no further
disturbance shall occur until the county coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition
of the remains pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98 and to the State of California Health and Safety
Code Section 7050.5. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the Coroner will notify
the NAHC, which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete
the inspection of the site and make recommendations to the landowner within 48 hours of being
granted access. With adherence to existing regulations regarding the treatment of human remains,
Rincon recommends a finding of less than significant impact to human remains under CEQA.

Re: Record Search Results for the 20-09930 Planning Area 6 - Duncan Canyon Specific Plan
The South Central Coastal Information Center received your records search request for the project area
referenced above, located on the Devore, CA USGS 7.5’ quadrangle. Due to the COVID-19 emergency,
we have implemented new records search protocols, which limits the deliverables available to you at
this time. WE ARE ONLY PROVIDING DATA THAT IS ALREADY DIGITAL AT THIS TIME. Please see the
attached document on COVID-19 Emergency Protocols for what data is available and for future
instructions on how to submit a records search request during the course of this crisis. If your selections
on your data request form are in conflict with this document, we reserve the right to default to
emergency protocols and provide you with what we stated on this document. You may receive more
than you asked for or less than you wanted. The following reflects the results of the records search for
the project area and a 1-mile radius:

Please forward a copy of any resulting reports from this project to the office as soon as possible. Due to
the sensitive nature of archaeological site location data, we ask that you do not include resource
location maps and resource location descriptions in your report if the report is for public distribution. If
you have any questions regarding the results presented herein, please contact the office at the phone
number listed above.
The provision of CHRIS Data via this records search response does not in any way constitute public
disclosure of records otherwise exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act or any
other law, including, but not limited to, records related to archeological site information maintained by
or on behalf of, or in the possession of, the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation,
State Historic Preservation Officer, Office of Historic Preservation, or the State Historical Resources
Commission.
Due to processing delays and other factors, not all of the historical resource reports and resource
records that have been submitted to the Office of Historic Preservation are available via this records
search. Additional information may be available through the federal, state, and local agencies that
produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area. Additionally, Native
American tribes have historical resource information not in the CHRIS Inventory, and you should contact
the California Native American Heritage Commission for information on local/regional tribal contacts.
Should you require any additional information for the above referenced project, reference the record
search number listed above when making inquiries. Requests made after initial invoicing will result in
the preparation of a separate invoice.
Thank you for using the California Historical Resources Information System,

Re: 20-09930 Planning Area 6 – Duncan Canyon Specific Plan Project, San Bernardino County
Dear Ms. Montgomery:
A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF)
was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The
results were positive. Please contact the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation on the
attached list for more information. Other sources of cultural resources should also be
contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.
Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources
in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential
adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated;
if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By
contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to
consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of
notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to
ensure that the project information has been received.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify
me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email
address: Andrew.Green@nahc.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
Andrew Green
Cultural Resources Analyst

Canyon Specific Plan Project, City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California
Dear Mr. Alvarez:
Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) has been retained by the City of Fontana (City) to conduct a Cultural
Resources Study for the Specific Plan Amendment of the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan
Project (project), near the intersection of Duncan Canyon Road and Citrus Avenue within the city of
Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The project consists of a Specific Plan Amendment for the
approximately 102 acre development project site, made up of 10 planning areas comprised of
commercial and residential uses along the north and south of Duncan Canyon Road, east of Interstate 15
and west of Citrus Avenue. The project site is currently undeveloped. This project is subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with the City serving as the lead agency. This letter does not
constitute notification under Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) of 2014. Any AB 52 consultation will be carried out
separately by the lead agency.
As part of the process of identifying cultural resources for this project, Rincon contacted the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on December 2, 2020, to request a Sacred Lands File search and
a list of Native American tribal organizations and individuals who may have knowledge of sensitive tribal
heritage resources within or near the proposed undertaking. On December 9, 2020, Rincon received a
response from the NAHC stating that the SLF search results were positive. The NAHC response also
included a list of Native American tribes who may have knowledge of cultural resources within or near
the proposed undertaking.
A proposed undertaking location map is enclosed with this letter for your reference. Due to the
circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we are submitting this letter digitally and will not be sending hard
copies via U.S. mail.
If you have knowledge of cultural resources that may exist within or near the proposed undertaking that
you wish to be documented in our report, please contact me at (909) 253-0705 extension 3005, or at

American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on December 2, 2020, to request a Sacred Lands File search and
a list of Native American tribal organizations and individuals who may have knowledge of sensitive tribal
heritage resources within or near the proposed undertaking. On December 9, 2020, Rincon received a
response from the NAHC stating that the SLF search results were positive. The NAHC response also
included a list of Native American tribes who may have knowledge of cultural resources within or near
the proposed undertaking.
A proposed undertaking location map is enclosed with this letter for your reference. Due to the
circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we are submitting this letter digitally and will not be sending hard

Hey Courtney,
Thank you for reaching out to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians concerning the Ventana at Duncan Canyon SPP.
SMBMI appreciates the opportunity to review the project documentation received by the Cultural Resources
Management Department on February 10, 2021 The proposed project is located within Serrano ancestral territory and in
a space of close proximity to three known tribal cultural resources. The area is of great concern to SMBMI and are very
interested to consult whenever this project moves into AB52/CEQA territory.
Thank you again for your correspondence, if you have any additional questions or comments please reach out to me at
your earliest convenience.

Greetings,
A records check of the Tribal Historic preservation office’s cultural registry revealed that this project is not
located within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area. Therefore, we defer to the other tribes in the area. This letter
shall conclude our consultation efforts.

Sherri Andrews of ASM Affiliates, Inc., recorded resource P-36-012739 as the Perdew School Foundation in 2005. The resource is
recorded as a two course high stone foundation constructed of cobbles and concrete measuring approximately 16 inches wide.
Andrews (2005) stated that the foundation was in good condition during the recorded, except for the northern wall. A solitary church
key opened can was found to the south of the resource, but Andrews was unable to associate the can to the foundation. No other
cultural resources were identified, and the resource has not been evaluated for inclusion in the NRHP or CRHR.
Rincon’s survey was unable to relocate extant remains of the resource, thus any deposits not in situ do not contain integrity and
therefore do not have the potential to contain historical significance.

Sherri Andrews of ASM Affiliates, Inc., recorded resource P-36-012740 as the Waters Homestead Site in 2005. The site was
recorded as a U-shaped rock and cobble enclosure with a trash scatter and a rectangular concrete reservoir. Andrews (2005)
comments that the resource had been previously identified in a resource inventory as the Waters home site and that due to the
reservoir being mostly underground the condition of the reservoir could not be determined. The associated trash scatter consists of
glass fragments, machine parts, and building debris. The resource has not been evaluated for inclusion in the NRHP or CRHR.
During the current survey effort (Montgomery et al. 2021), portions of the resource were relocated. The surveyors relocated a
concentration of rocks and cobbles corresponding with the wall around the Waters Homestead as previously recorded by Andrews
(2005). The feature has since been deflated down but the overall shape is observable. There is a raised berm that is approximately
2 feet tall that can be observed in conjunction with the cobbles but is extant in some areas. Several historic artifacts were observed
within the wall as noted in the previous site record (glass, metal, and ceramic fragments), and a depression consistent with
remnants of the cistern was also present. In addition to the recorded resource, the resource location exhibits heavy disturbance
from modern trash deposits, previous disking and plowing and, with low ground visibility, made it difficult to relocate the other
historic artifacts associated with the homestead.
The 2007 EIR for the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Project concluded that the resource was not eligible for listing in the CRHR and
did not qualify as a historical resource under CEQA (City of Fontana 2007). Rincon concurs with the previous findings.

*Recorded by: Rincon Consultants, Inc. *Date: 2/11/2021 Continuation Update
DPR 523L (1/95) *Required information
Sinéad Ni Ghabhláin of ASM Affiliates, Inc., recorded resource P-36-012742 as the Lytle Creek Winery in 2005. The resource is
recorded as a two-story home with two cobblestone winery buildings, a concrete warehouse, stables, garage, barn, and privy.
Ghabhláin (2005) dated the house, stables, and barn to the 1880s, the cobblestone winery buildings to the 1930s, warehouse to
the 1940s, and a cinder block add on to one of the cobblestone winery buildings to 1945. The property operated an 80-acre
vineyard and wine production following prohibition to 1960 when the property was sold by Robert and Catherine Lasagna. In
addition to the buildings, the resource includes a cistern, cobblestone fencing, and landscaping features. Ghabhláin (2005)
recommended the winery eligible for listing in the CRHR under Criterion 1 for its association to wine production in Fontana and
recommended the Lytle Creek Winery eligible for listing as a historic district as the period is significant. Additionally, the two cobble
stone buildings were recommended eligible for listing in the CRHR under Criterion 3 for their distinctive characteristics within the
region and method of construction.
Although the resource was recommended eligible for listing, the resource appears to have been demolished between 2002 and
2009. Rincon’s survey was unable to relocate extant remains of the resource, thus any deposits not in situ do not contain integrity
and therefore do not have the potential to contain historical significance.

*Recorded by: Rincon Consultants, Inc. *Date: 2/11/2021 Continuation Update
DPR 523L (1/95) *Required information
In 1987, John Anacic recorded resource P-36-015376 as the historic area known as Grapeland. Anacic identified historic structures
and irrigation ditches during the recording, noting that the town of Grapeland had once consisted of stores, a school, small ranches,
and a post office along Lytle Creek Road north of Fontana. In 1989, the Grapeland Irrigation District was submitted as a Point of
Historical Interest to the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation. According to the submission, the Grapeland
Irrigation District emerged in 1890 as an early settlement of North Fontana for farming; however, the venture north failed. Although
the venture failed, remnants of the venture were left, including irrigation ditches, homesteads, and reservoirs. ICF revisited
segments of the district in 2016 and reported that no remnants of the historic district were left within the study area. ICF (2016)
recommended the portions studied as not eligible for the NRHP or CRHR.
The current project site lies within the recorded historic district boundaries; however, during the current survey effort (Montgomery
et al. 2021), no contributors of the historic district were identified within the current survey boundaries.
