Subject: Cultural Resources Record Search Results for the NWC Santa Ana Avenue and Almond Avenue
Warehouse Project, City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California
Dear Mr. Kevin Rice:
Dudek was retained by Patriot Development Partners (Applicant) to conduct a preliminary cultural resources
assessment in support of the proposed NWC Santa Ana Avenue and Almond Avenue Warehouse (proposed Project).
This letter report includes the following components: (1) a results summary of the California Historical Resources
Information System (CHRIS) records search intended to identify recorded cultural resources and previously
conducted cultural resource studies within the proposed Project site and a 0.5-mile records search buffer; (2) an
assessment of the known cultural resources as well as the potential for unknown resources to be present within
the proposed Project site; 3) an appraisal of what, if any, limitations the presence or potential presence of cultural
resources may pose to the proposed Project development pursuant to state and local regulations. The City of
Fontana (City) is the lead agency responsible for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and for considering approval of the proposed Project. Although the conclusions presented in this memo are
informed by research and analysis consistent with CEQA and City requirements, approval of a project is not within
a consultant’s purview and is completely within the agency’s jurisdiction. Conclusions and recommendations
provided in this memo are for the purpose of considering potential project limitations and should not be used to
assume any decisions made by the deciding agency. This report was prepared by Dudek Archaeologist, Linda Kry,
BA, RA and Heather McDaniel McDevitt, MA, RPA, who meets the Secretary of the Interior professional standards
and served as Principal Investigator and provided general oversight and quality control and assurance. Dudek staff
archaeologists Jennifer De Alba, BA, Brenda Rogers, BA, and Lanette Renz, BA conducted archival research and
wrote portions of the report and Ms. Rogers conducted the pedestrian survey.
Project Location
The proposed Project site is located within the southern portion of the City of Fontana, in southwestern San Bernardino
County, California and is located within public land survey system (PLSS) Section 27 of Township 1 South, Range 6
West on the Fontana, California 7.5-minute USGS Quadrangles (Appendix A: Figure 1). Specifically, the
approximately 6.46-acre proposed Project site is composed of three parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers [APNs]
0236-091-01, 0236-091-02, and 0236-091-03) and includes addresses 14228 and 14272 Santa Ana Avenue,
and 10858 Almond Avenue. The proposed Project site is generally bound by commercial development to the west
and north, Santa Ana Avenue to the south, and Almond Avenue to the east (Appendix A: Figure 2).

Present and Historical Use of the Proposed Project Site
At the time of this assessment, the proposed Project site was occupied by industrial businesses (trucking and heavy
equipment), including two single-family residential structures. The proposed Project site also includes several
storage buildings and sheds. The remainder of the proposed Project site consists of graveled parking areas, various
hardscape features, and paved driveways and parking areas. Present site conditions of each parcel that make up
the proposed Project site are as follows:
• The parcel at 10858 Almond Avenue (APN 0236-091-01), contains an office building and a paved truck
and trailer storage yard for the business identified as Pointdirect Transport, Inc.
• The parcel at 14272 Santa Ana Avenue (APN 0236-091-02), contains a single-family residence, storage
structures, and an 18-wheeler truck storage and maintenance yard for the business identified as M & C
Diesel Road Service.
• The parcel at 14228 Santa Ana Avenue (APN 0236-091-03), contains a truck yard, storage area,
mechanical pit, maintenance area, steel building and a single-family residence.
Historical uses at the proposed Project site include agriculture, residential, auto maintenance, and trucking. The
proposed Project site was used for agricultural purposes from approximately the 1930s to 1980s. Residential
structures were developed on the proposed Project site during that time, from the late 1960s through to the 1980s.
Infrastructure related to vehicle storage such as paved and graveled areas and associated structures were
developed in the 1990s. By the 1990s, the proposed Project site contained much of the structures present on site
at the time of the survey.
Project Description
The proposed Project includes construction of a one-story, 158,144 square-foot warehouse building with a
maximum height of 45 feet above ground surface. including a 6,000 square-foot office and a 3,000 square-foot
mezzanine. The building would be located in the center of the proposed Project site surrounded by paved parking
lots, a truck court, loading areas, and landscaping. A truck court, providing four (4) trailer parking spots, 16 loading
docks, and one (1) ramp to the warehouse building is proposed along the western side of the Project site with
security gates limiting traffic between the truck court and the southwestern parking lot. Areas totaling 33,448
square feet surrounding the warehouse, parking lots, and truck court would be landscaped including trees, shrubs,
plants, and land covers. Access to the proposed Project site would be provided by two driveways off Almond Avenue
and one driveway off Santa Ana Avenue. The first driveway would be a 40-foot-wide truck driveway at the northeast
corner of the proposed Project site, along Almond Avenue, providing access to the proposed vehicle parking lot and
truck court; the second driveway would be a 30-foot wide passenger vehicle driveway at the eastern boundary of
the proposed Project site, along Almond Avenue, providing access to the employee parking lot. The third driveway
would be a 40-foot wide truck driveway at the southwest corner of the proposed Project site, along Santa Ana
Avenue, providing access to the truck court. The proposed Project would provide a total of 50 parking spots along
the eastern boundary and the southwest corner of the proposed Project site. Gated entry to the truck court would
be provided at the northern most entrance and the southwestern entrance.

The proposed Project would also include improvements to Santa Ana Avenue and Almond Avenue along the
proposed Project’s street frontages, including a landscape setback, a new sidewalk, and half-width frontage
improvements within the roadway right-of-way. Consistent with City standards, all existing overhead utility service
lines adjoining and within the proposed Project site would be converted to underground, and new City streetlights
would be installed within the dedicated right-of-way.
The proposed Project site is currently developed and served by some existing utilities, including domestic water,
natural gas, and electricity. However, in some instances, these present utilities are not adequately sized to serve
the proposed Project and, thus, would be upgraded/replaced during project construction. As such, lateral water
lines would be installed as part of the proposed Project and connect to the existing water line within Santa Ana
Avenue and Almond Avenue to provide adequate domestic water service and fire flow. Similarly, lateral sewer
lines would be extended to the proposed Project site from the existing sewer main including installation of an 8-
inch sewer main extension within the Santa Ana Avenue right-of-way, and a 6-inch sewer line from the sewer
main extension to the proposed Project site.
As part of the proposed Project, a new engineered storm drain system would be constructed on the proposed Project
site to collect and treat on-site stormwater runoff. On-site stormwater would be collected via a series of inlets and
catch basins before being conveyed to an on-site underground infiltration basin located on the western edge of the
project site. The infiltration basin would allow a certain amount of stormwater to infiltrate into the soils, and excess
flows would then flow into the City’s storm drain system.
Background Research
SCCIC Records Search
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) notified researchers that the
response time for records searches of the CHRIS database was significantly delayed and only previously digitized
records for San Bernardino County were available. Therefore, as part of the cultural resources assessment
prepared for the proposed Project, Dudek referenced two previously conducted CHRIS records searches
completed on December 3, 2019 and March 8, 2022 for two projects located to the east and immediately
adjacent to the south of the present proposed Project site. These records searches included the following data
sets: any previously recorded cultural resources and investigations within a 0.5-mile radius, both covering the
proposed Project site and surrounding areas, as well as their digitized collections of mapped prehistoric and historic
archaeological resources; Department of Parks and Recreation site records; technical reports; archival
resources; ethnographic references; historical maps; the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the
California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), the California Historic Property Data File, and the lists of
California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, and the Archaeological
Determinations of Eligibility. Dudek reviewed the SCCIC records to determine whether implementation of the
proposed Project would have the potential to impact any known and unknown cultural resources. The results of
the records search are presented in Confidential Appendix B.

Previously Conducted Cultural Resource Studies
Results of the cultural resources records search indicate that three (3) cultural resource studies have been
conducted within a 0.5-mile radius of the proposed Project site between 1994 and 2016, none of which address
any portion of the proposed Project site. This suggests that the entirety of the proposed Project site has not been
subject to a previous archaeological investigation formally submitted to the CHRIS database. Table 1, below,
summarizes all three (3) previous studies.

Previously Recorded Cultural Resources
The SCCIC records indicate that that no previously recorded cultural resources exists within or adjacent to the
proposed Project site. A total of seven (7) cultural resources have been previously recorded within 0.5-mile of the
proposed Project site. Of these, one (1) is a historic period archaeological site located 762 meters (2500 ft)
northeast of the proposed Project site and six (6) are historic built environment resources, each found ineligible for
listing on the CRHR, the closest of which is located 67 meters (220 ft) southwest of the proposed Project site. No
prehistoric archaeological resources or resources of Native American origin were identified within the proposed
Project site or 0.5-mile records search area. Table 2, below, summarizes all seven (7) previously recorded cultural
resources within the proposed Project’s records search area preceded by a brief summary of the built environment
cultural resource formally located adjacent to the proposed Project site.
P-36-033111
P-36-033111 is a historic built environment resource built in 1945 and was located at 14191 Santa Ana Avenue
approximately 67 meters (220 ft) southwest of the proposed Project site. P-36-033111 is described in the site
record as a “side-gabled, Minimal Traditional-style, single-family residence, exhibits a partial-width front porch, wide,
horizontal wood siding, and a small, attached garage.” The structure was formally recorded and evaluated in 2019
by J.R.K Stropes and was found to not meet significance criteria pursuant to CEQA criteria and was ineligible for
listing in the CRHR or the NRHP. The structure has since been demolished.

Geotechnical Report Review
NorCal Engineering completed a geotechnical study for the proposed Project site (completed June 21, 2022). The
report, Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Proposed Industrial Warehouse Development, Northwest Corner of
Santa Ana Ave. & Almond Ave., Fontana, California, documents the subsurface geological conditions at the
proposed Project site (NorCal Engineering 2022) and details the results of 11 subsurface exploratory borings (B-1
through B-11) conducted on May 31, 2022, using a truck-mounted drill-rig equipped with a hollow stem auger. The

subsurface exploratory investigations were placed at accessible locations throughout the proposed Project site. The
subsurface exploratory borings were advanced to depths between approximately 5 to 20 feet (ft.) below ground
surface (bgs) to determine subsurface geological conditions within the proposed Project site. According to the boring
logs, fill soils were encountered in all borings, from surface to between 1 to 2 ft. bgs and are characterized as brown,
fine to medium grained, silty sand with gravel. Crushed base material was noted across the surface near borings
B-1, B-3 and B-5; asphalt was encountered on the surface near borings B-6, B-7 and B-8. Native undisturbed soils
were identified below the fill soils and are characterized as brown, fine to medium grained silty sand with gravel to
a gravelly fine to coarse grained sand, each with occasional cobble. The geological boring investigations were
terminated at each location based on subsurface refusal at varying depths, approximately 5 to 20 ft. bgs; however,
no bedrock or groundwater was encountered at any of the 11 locations. Table 3, below, summarizes the results of
the 11 subsurface exploratory borings within the proposed Project site.

Field Survey
Methods
Dudek conducted an archaeological pedestrian survey of the proposed Project site on January 6, 2023. Due to
present site conditions, which consists of existing buildings, structures, parked vehicles, and paved lots, formal
transects were not employed. Instead, a mixed approach (opportunistic survey) and reconnaissance survey (visual
inspection) were utilized, selectively examining areas of exposed ground surfaces, where possible. The survey of
the approximately 6.46-acre proposed Project site included all three (3) Project parcels. The ground surface was
inspected for prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools, tool-making debris, groundstone tools, ceramics, fire-
affected rock), soil discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, soil depressions, features
indicative of structures and/or buildings (e.g., standing exterior walls, post holes, foundations), and historical
artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics, building materials). Ground disturbances such as rodent burrows, vehicle
tracks, and landscaped areas were also visually inspected for exposed subsurface materials. All field notes,
photographs, and records related to the current study are on file at Dudek’s Pasadena, California office. All field
practices met the Secretary of Interior’s standards and guidelines for a cultural resources inventory.
Results
Ground surface visibility within the proposed Project site was variable and as such, in areas of dense ground
coverage, surface scrapes were occasionally implemented, when necessary, to enhance detection of archaeological
materials that may have been obscured on the surface. Survey results for the three (3) parcels that make up the
proposed Project site are discussed individually below. Note: the geotechnical study revealed that the proposed
Project site is predominately covered in fill soils. As such, any exposed soils observed during the survey were likely
fill soils and not a good representation of the native soils present prior to development and ground disturbing
activities.
APN 0236-091-01
This parcel is located along Almond Avenue and is currently in use as a storage lot for tractor trailers and
Recreational Vehicles and accounts for approximately 35 percent of the proposed Project site. The ground surface
consisted of paved asphalt and crushed road base, which accounted for approximately 98 percent of the parcel,
TO: MR. KEVIN RICE
SUBJECT: CULTURAL RESOURCES RECORD SEARCH RESULTS FOR THE NWC SANTA ANA AVENUE AND ALMOND
AVENUE WAREHOUSE PROJECT, CITY OF FONTANA, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
14657 8 JANUARY 2023
and as such, ground surface visibility ranged from non-existent to poor (0 to 5 percent). A narrow band of mounded
dirt and grass was observed at the northern end of the parcel was, with only modern trash visible.
APN 0236-091-02
This parcel is located in the central portion of the proposed Project site and accounts for approximately 35 percent
of the site. The majority of the parcel consists of a crushed-road base graveled parking lot, but no stored vehicles.
An abandoned residential structure is located at the south end of the parcel, with a paved driveway and landscaped
area. The compacted gravel parking area and structure encompasses approximately 90 percent of the parcel with
some exposed ground surface along the chain link fence that separates the parcels. Therefore, ground surface
visibility was non-existent to poor (0 to 5 percent). Only modern materials were observed.
APN 0236-091-03
This parcel located in the western portion of the proposed Project site was developed, at the time of the survey,
with a large truck maintenance structure, paved areas, a mechanic bay and a residential structure. The northern
half of the lot, approximately 40 percent for the parcel, included areas with exposed soils and provided poor to good
visibility (10 to 50 percent). Intermittent patches of exposed soils within vegetation were observed near the
residential building and provided non-existent to fair ground surface visibility (0 to 30 percent).
Overall, the visible existing surface comprised of fill soils characterized as brown, fine to medium grained, silty sand
with gravel, which are visible within all the parcels within the proposed Project site as previously mentioned above.
No cultural materials were identified as a result of the survey.
As previously mentioned in Geotechnical Report Review section, all subsurface exploratory boring locations
conducted within the proposed Project site identified fill soils at depths from surface to between 1 and 2 ft. bgs
(see Table 3). The presence of the fill soil is an indication that any cultural material observed between the ground
surface and 1 and 2 ft. bgs, would have been previously displaced from the primary depositional location.
Additionally, the presence of fill soils demonstrates that the native soils upon and within which cultural deposits
would exist in context was not observed during the survey. Although, no cultural materials were identified within the
proposed Project site as a result of the pedestrian survey, these negative results are not reliable.
Summary and Management Considerations
Results of the records search indicate that the entirety of the proposed Project site has not been subject to a
previous cultural resources investigation formally submitted to the CHRIS database. A total of seven (7) cultural
resources have been previously recorded within 0.5-mile of the proposed Project site. Of these, one (1) is a historic
period archaeological site located 762 meters (2500 ft) northeast of the proposed Project site and six (6) are
historic built environment resources, each found ineligible for listing on the CRHR. The closest of these resources,
P-36-033111, was located 67 meters (220 ft) southwest of the proposed Project site but has since been
demolished. No prehistoric archaeological resources or resources of Native American origin were identified within
the proposed Project site or 0.5-mile records search area. The proposed Project site has been utilized for agricultural
purposes from as early as the 1930s to the 1980s and portions of the proposed Project site have been developed
TO: MR. KEVIN RICE
SUBJECT: CULTURAL RESOURCES RECORD SEARCH RESULTS FOR THE NWC SANTA ANA AVENUE AND ALMOND
AVENUE WAREHOUSE PROJECT, CITY OF FONTANA, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
14657 9 JANUARY 2023
for residential and industrial use beginning in the late 1960s through to the 1990s, much of which is still present
on site.
A review of a geotechnical report prepared for the proposed Project site indicated that fill soils were encountered
between surface and 1 to 2 ft. bgs and are underlain by native soils. The proposed Project site’s native soils consist
of Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits from the Pleistocene to Holocene geologic age. More specifically, the
proposed Project site is underlain by Quaternary younger fan deposits associated with the Holocene age. Holocene-
era alluvial formations do have the potential to support the presence of buried archaeological resources. These
soils are associated with the period of prehistoric human use, as well as represent ongoing processes of
development that have potential to preserve cultural material in context, depending on area-specific topographical
setting. According to the geotechnical report’s recommendations for site preparation, the report recommends the
removal of existing vegetation and/or demolition debris, including the removal of fill soils identified between surface
and 2 ft bgs and includes an additional 12 in of scarification. The depths of proposed ground disturbance for the
proposed Project is unknown, however, for management and recommendation purposes, it is assumed not to
exceed 5 ft bgs.
In consideration of all these factors, the potential to encounter intact deposits containing archaeological resources
within soils between the current grade and 2 ft bgs is highly unlikely; however, ground disturbing activities within
the proposed Project site at depths exceeding 2 ft bgs is unknown. As such, adherence to the mitigation measures
(MMs) established in the Program Environmental Impact Report for the Southwest Industrial Park (SWIP) Specific
Plan (SP) area pertaining to prehistoric and historic-period archaeological resources, such as response and
treatment of inadvertent discovery of unknown cultural resources would ensure that any potential impacts to
unknown archaeological resources within the proposed Project site would be less-than-significant.
