Maple Property i November 2023 2023-169 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Diversified Pacific retained ECORP Consulting, Inc. in 2023 to conduct an archaeological resources inventory for the Fontana Maple Property in San Bernardino County, California. Diversified Pacific proposes the construction of an 8.38-acre housing development east of Locust Avenue, west of North Maple Avenue, north of West Foothill Boulevard, and south of Barbee Street in the City of Fontana. The proposed development would be located within Assessor's Parcel Numbers 02-431-4201, 02-431-4202, 02-431-4203, 02-431-4204, 02-431-4205, and 02-431-4206. The inventory included a records search, literature review, and field survey. The records search results indicated that two previous cultural resources studies have been conducted within the Project Area. As a result of those studies, no sites or isolates have previously been recorded within the Project Area. As a result of the field survey, ECORP did not record any cultural resources within the Project Area. Recommendations for the management of unanticipated discoveries are provided.

Maple Property 1 November 2023 2023-169 1.0 INTRODUCTION Diversified Pacific retained ECORP Consulting, Inc. in 2023 to conduct an archaeological resources inventory for the Fontana Maple Property in the City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. A survey of the Project Area was required to identify potentially eligible cultural resources (i.e., archaeological sites and historic buildings, structures, and objects) that could be affected by the Project. 1.1 Project Location and Description The Project Area consists of approximately 8.38 acres of property located in the southwestern quarter of the southeastern quarter of Section 4 of Township 1 South, Range 5 West, San Bernardino Base and Meridian as depicted on the 1967 (photorevised 1980) Fontana, California U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map (Figure 1). It is located northwest of the intersection of West Foothill Boulevard and North Maple Avenue. The Proposed Project entails the construction of a gated residential community consisting of six buildings, each of which is either a three-story or four-story apartment building. The Proposed Project will also include a pool, a dog park, landscaped open space, and a combined clubhouse and leasing office, in addition to roadways, necessary utilities, and a covered garage and open parking. 1.2 Area of Potential Effects The Area of Potential Effects (APE) consists of the horizontal and vertical limits of a project and includes the area within which significant impacts or adverse effects to Historical Resources or Historic Properties could occur as a result of the project. The APE is defined for projects subject to regulations implementing Section 106 (federal law and regulations). For projects subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, the term Project Area is used rather than APE. The terms Project Area and APE are interchangeable for the purpose of this document. The horizontal APE consists of all areas where activities associated with a project are proposed and, in the case of this Project, equals the Project Area subject to environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and CEQA. This includes areas proposed for construction, vegetation removal, grading, trenching, stockpiling, staging, paving, and other elements in the official Project description. The horizontal APE is illustrated in Figure 1 and represents the survey coverage area. The vertical APE is described as the maximum depth below the surface to which excavations for project foundations and facilities will extend. Therefore, the vertical APE for this Project includes all subsurface areas where archaeological deposits could be affected. The subsurface vertical APE varies across the Project Area; this study assumes that this subsurface ground disturbance will not exceed 20 feet below the current surface, and therefore, a review of geologic and soils maps was necessary to determine the potential for buried archaeological sites that cannot be seen on the surface. The vertical APE also is described as the maximum height of structures that could impact the physical integrity and integrity of setting of cultural resources, including districts and traditional cultural properties. For this Project, this study assumes that the above-surface vertical APE will not exceed 50 feet above the surface, which is the height of the tallest building. )LJXUH3URMHFW/RFDWLRQDQG9LFLQLW\ 0DSOH3URSHUW\ /R F D W L R Q   1  ?     ?          0 D S O H  3 U R S H U W \ ? 0 $ 3 6 ? / R F D W L R Q B 9 L F L Q L W \? / R F D W L R Q  D Q G  9 L F L Q L W \  D S U [    0 3 B / Q 9  W U R W H O O L Q L             (   6FDOHLQ)HHW )RQWDQD&$ >SU@1$' &$PLQXWH7RSRJUDSKLF4XDGUDQJOH 86*HRORJLFDO6XUYH\ 6DQ%HUQDUGLQR&RXQW\&DOLIRUQLD †765:6%%0 /DWLWXGH 1$' ƒ1 /RQJLWXGH 1$' ƒ: :DWHUVKHG6DQWD$QD  0DS'DWH 6RXUFHV(65,86*6 0DS)HDWXUHV 3URMHFW$UHDDF :::: : 32 "'=====••,::=======-------"--•=~s =; ~ " ll If •• II II II Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 3 November 2023 2023-169 1.3 Regulatory Context The CEQA lead agency for this Project is the City of Fontana. There is currently no known federal lead agency. A review of the regulatory context is provided below; however, the inclusion of any of these laws and regulations in this report does not make a law or regulation apply when it otherwise would not. Similarly, the omission of any other laws and regulations from this section does not mean that they do not apply. Rather, the purpose of this section is to provide context in explaining why the study was carried out in the manner documented herein. 1.3.1 National Environmental Policy Act NEPA establishes national policy for the protection and enhancement of the environment. Part of the function of the federal government in protecting the environment is to “preserve important historic, cultural, and natural aspects of our national heritage.” Cultural resources need not be determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) through the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (as amended) to receive consideration under NEPA. NEPA is implemented by regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1500-1508). The definition of effects in the NEPA regulations includes adverse and beneficial effects on historic and cultural resources (40 CFR 1508.8). Therefore, the Environmental Consequences section of an Environmental Impact Statement [see 40 CFR 1502.16(f)] must analyze potential effects to historic or cultural resources that could result from the proposed action and each alternative. In considering whether an alternative may “significantly affect the quality of the human environment,” a federal agency must consider, among other things:   Unique characteristics of the geographic area, such as proximity to historic or cultural resources (40 CFR 1508.27(b)(3)), and   The degree to which the action may adversely affect districts, sites, highways, structures, or objects listed in or eligible for listing in the NRHP (40 CFR 1508.27(b)(8)). Therefore, because historic properties are a subset of cultural resources, they are one aspect of the human environment defined by NEPA regulations. 1.3.2 National Historic Preservation Act The federal law that covers cultural resources that could be affected by federal undertakings is the NHPA of 1966, as amended. Section 106 of the NHPA requires that federal agencies take into account the effects of a federal undertaking on properties listed in or eligible for the NRHP. The agencies must afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) a reasonable opportunity to comment on the undertaking. A federal undertaking is defined in 36 CFR 800.16(y): A federal undertaking means a project, activity, or program funded in whole or in part under the direct or indirect jurisdiction of a federal agency, including those carried out by Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 4 November 2023 2023-169 or on behalf of a federal agency; those carried out with Federal financial assistance; and those requiring a federal permit, license, or approval. The regulations that stipulate the procedures for complying with Section 106 are in 36 CFR 800. The Section 106 regulations require:   definition of the APE.   identification of cultural resources within the APE.   evaluation of the identified resources in the APE using NRHP eligibility criteria.   determination of whether the effects of the undertaking or project on eligible resources will be adverse; and   agreement on and implementation of efforts to resolve adverse effects, if necessary. The federal agency must seek comment from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and, in some cases, the ACHP, for its determinations of eligibility, effects, and proposed mitigation measures. Section 106 procedures for a specific project can be modified by negotiation of a Memorandum of Agreement or Programmatic Agreement between the federal agency, the SHPO, and, in some cases, the project proponent. Effects to a cultural resource are potentially adverse if the lead federal agency, with the SHPO’s concurrence, determines the resource eligible for the NRHP, making it a Historic Property, and if application of the Criteria of Adverse Effects (36 CFR 800.5[a][2] et seq.) results in the conclusion that the effects will be adverse. The NRHP eligibility criteria, contained in 36 CFR 60.4, are as follows: The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects of state and local importance that possess aspects of integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, association, and A. that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory. In addition, the resource must be at least 50 years old, barring exceptional circumstances (36 CFR 60.4). Resources that are eligible for, or listed on, the NRHP are historic properties. Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 5 November 2023 2023-169 Regulations implementing Section 106 of the NHPA (36 CFR 800.5) require that the federal agency, in consultation with the SHPO, apply the Criteria of Adverse Effect to historic properties within the APE. According to 36 CFR 800.5(a)(1): An adverse effect is found when an undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property’s location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling or association. 1.3.3 California Environmental Quality Act CEQA is the state law that applies to a project’s impacts on cultural resources. A project is an activity that may cause a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and that is undertaken or funded by a state or local agency, or requires a permit, license, or lease from a state or local agency. CEQA requires that impacts to Historical Resources be identified and, if the impacts will be significant, then apply mitigation measures to reduce the impacts. A Historical Resource is a resource that 1) is listed in or has been determined eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) by the State Historical Resources Commission, or has been determined historically significant by the CEQA lead agency because it meets the eligibility criteria for the CRHR, 2) is included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Public Resources Code (PRC) 5020.1(k), or 3), and has been identified as significant in a historical resources survey, as defined in PRC 5024.1(g) (California Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 14, Section 15064.5(a)). The eligibility criteria for the CRHR are as follows (CCR Title 14, Section 4852(b)): (1) It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. (2) It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. (3) It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values; or (4) It has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation. In addition, the resource must retain integrity, which is evaluated with regard to the retention of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association (CCR Title 14, Section 4852(c)). Resources that have been determined eligible for the NRHP are automatically eligible for the CRHR. Impacts to a Historical Resource, as defined by CEQA (listed in an official historic inventory or survey or eligible for the CRHR), are significant if the resource is demolished or destroyed or if the characteristics that made the resource eligible are materially impaired (CCR Title 14, Section 15064.5(b)). Demolition or alteration of eligible buildings, structures, and features that they would no longer be eligible would result in a significant impact. Whole or partial destruction of eligible archaeological sites would result in a Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 6 November 2023 2023-169 significant impact. In addition to impacts from construction resulting in destruction or physical alteration of an eligible resource, impacts to the integrity of setting (sometimes termed visual impacts) of physical features in the Project Area could also result in significant impacts. Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs) are defined in Section 21074 of the California PRC as sites, features, places, cultural landscapes (geographically defined in terms of the size and scope), sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either included in or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the CRHR, or are included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1, or are a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1. Section 1(b)(4) of Assembly Bill (AB) 52 established that only California Native American tribes, as defined in Section 21073 of the California PRC, are experts in the identification of TCRs and impacts thereto. Because ECORP does not meet the definition of a California Native American tribe, it only addresses information in this report for which it is qualified to identify and evaluate, and that which is needed to inform the cultural resources section of CEQA documents. This report, therefore, does not identify or evaluate TCRs. Should California Native American tribes ascribe additional importance to, or interpretation of archaeological resources described herein, or provide information about non- archeological TCRs, that information is documented separately in the AB 52 tribal consultation record between the tribe(s) and lead agency and summarized in the TCRs section of the CEQA document, if applicable. 1.4 Report Organization The following report documents the study and its findings and was prepared in conformance with the California Office of Historic Preservation’s (OHP) Archaeological Resource Management Reports: Recommended Contents and Format. Appendix A includes records search information from the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and historical society coordination. Appendix B contains documentation of a search of the Sacred Lands File. Appendix C presents photographs of the Project Area. 2.0 SETTING 2.1 Environmental Setting Elevations within the Project Area range from 1,307 to 1,318 feet above mean sea level. The Project is located approximately 3.6 miles southwest of Lytle Creek Wash, 5 miles south of Cajon Wash, and 4.5 miles northeast of Mount Jurupa. 2.2 Geology and Soils The Project Area is located between Lytle Creek Wash and Cajon Wash, which are the sources of alluvial soils within the Project Area. Morton (2003) shows that the Project Area soils consist of quaternary alluvium dating to the Holocene. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey maps the Project Area as approximately 89 percent TuB—Tujunga loamy sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes and 11 percent TvC—Tujunga gravelly loamy sand, 0 to 9 percent slopes. Both soil types are classified as Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 7 November 2023 2023-169 alluvium derived from granite and are mapped as being typically 80 inches to a restrictive feature (NRCS 2023). 2.3 Vegetation and Wildlife The dominant plant community within the Project Area includes, but is not limited to, California buckwheat (Erigonium fasciculatum), California sagebrush (Artemisia californica), and common sunflower (Heliathus annus; iNaturalist 2023). Wildlife species that may occur within the Project Area include crow and raven (Corvus spp.), rabbit (Sylvilagus spp.), hare (Lepus spp.), coyote (Canus latrans), and common raccoon (Procyon lotor; Booth 1968; iNaturalist 2023). 3.0 CULTURAL CONTEXT 3.1 Regional Pre-Contact History 3.1.1 Paleo-Indian Period/Terminal Pleistocene (12,000 to 10,000 BP) The first inhabitants of southern California were big game hunters and gatherers exploiting extinct species of Pleistocene megafauna (e.g., mammoth and other Rancholabrean fauna). Local "fluted point" assemblages comprised of large spear points or knives are stylistically and technologically similar to the Clovis Paleo-Indian cultural tradition dated to this period elsewhere in North America (Moratto 1984). Archaeological evidence for this period in southern California is limited to a few small temporary camps with fluted points found around late Pleistocene Lake margins in the Mojave Desert and around Tulare Lake in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Single points are reported from Ocotillo Wells and Cuyamaca Pass in eastern San Diego County and from the Yuha Desert in Imperial County (Rondeau et al. 2007). 3.1.2 Early Archaic Period/Early Holocene (10,000 to 8,500 BP) Approximately 10,000 years ago, at the beginning of the Holocene, warming temperatures, and the extinction of the megafauna resulted in changing subsistence strategies with an emphasis hunting smaller game and increasing reliance on plant gathering. Previously, Early Holocene sites were represented by only a few sites and isolates from the Lake Mojave and San Dieguito complexes found along former lakebeds and grasslands of the Mojave Desert and in inland San Diego County. More recently, southern California Early Holocene sites have been found along the Santa Barbara Channel (Erlandson 1994), in western Riverside County (Goldberg 2001; Grenda 1997), and along the San Diego County coast (Gallegos 1991; Koerper et al. 1991; Warren 1967). The San Dieguito Complex was defined based on material found at the Harris site (CA-SDI-149) on the San Dieguito River near Lake Hodges in San Diego County. San Dieguito artifacts include large leaf- shaped points; leaf-shaped knives; large ovoid, domed, and rectangular end and side scrapers; engraving tools; and crescentics (Koerper et al. 1991). The San Dieguito Complex at the Harris site dates to 9,000 to 7,500 years before present (BP; Gallegos 1991). However, sites from this time period in coastal San Diego Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 8 November 2023 2023-169 County have yielded artifacts and subsistence remains characteristic of the succeeding Encinitas Tradition, including manos, metates, core-cobble tools, and marine shell (Gallegos 1991; Koerper et al. 1991). 3.1.3 Encinitas Tradition or Milling Stone Period/Middle Holocene (8,500 to 1,250 BP) The Encinitas Tradition (Warren 1968) and the Milling Stone Period (Wallace 1955) refer to a long period of time during which small mobile bands of people who spoke an early Hokan language foraged for a wide variety of resources including hard seeds, berries, and roots/tubers (yucca in inland areas), rabbits and other small animals, and shellfish and fish in coastal areas. Sites from the Encinitas Tradition consist of residential bases and resource acquisition locations with no evidence for overnight stays. Residential bases have hearths and fire-affected rock indicating overnight stays and food preparation. Residential bases along the coast have large amounts of shell and are often termed shell middens. The Encinitas Tradition as originally defined (Warren 1968) applied to all of the non-desert areas of southern California. Recently, four patterns within the Encinitas Tradition have been proposed which apply to different regions of southern California (Sutton and Gardner 2010). The Topanga Pattern includes archaeological material from the Los Angeles Basin and Orange County. The Greven Knoll Pattern pertains to southwestern San Bernardino County and western Riverside County (Sutton and Gardner 2010). Each of the patterns is divided into temporal phases. The Topanga Pattern included the Los Angeles Basin and Orange County. The Topanga I phase extends from 8,500 to 5,000 BP and Topanga II runs from 5,000 to 3,500 BP. The Topanga Pattern ended about 3,500 BP with the arrival of Takic speakers, except in the Santa Monica Mountains where the Topanga III phase lasted until about 2,000 BP. The Encinitas Tradition in inland areas east of the Topanga Pattern (southwestern San Bernardino County and western Riverside County) is the Greven Knoll Pattern (Sutton and Gardner 2010). Greven Knoll I (9,400 to 4,000 BP) has abundant manos and metates. Projectile points are few and are mostly Pinto points. Greven Knoll II (4,000 to 3,000 BP) has abundant manos and metates and core tools. Projectile points are mostly Elko points. The Elsinore site on the east shore of Lake Elsinore was occupied during Greven Knoll I and Greven Knoll II. During Greven Knoll I faunal processing (butchering) took place at the lakeshore and floral processing (seed grinding), cooking, and eating took place farther from the shore. The primary foods were rabbit meat and seeds from grasses, sage, and ragweed. A few deer, waterfowl, and reptiles were consumed. The recovered archaeological material suggests that a highly mobile population visited the site at a specific time each year. It is possible that their seasonal round included the ocean coast at other times of the year. These people had an unspecialized technology as exemplified by the numerous crescents, a multi-purpose tool. The few projectile points suggest that most of the small game was trapped using nets and snares (Grenda 1997). During Greven Knoll II, which included a warmer drier climatic episode known as the Altithermal, it is thought that populations in interior southern California concentrated at oases and that Lake Elsinore was one of them. The Elsinore site (CA-RIV-2798) is one of five known Middle Holocene residential sites around Lake Elsinore. Tools were mostly manos, metates, and hammerstones. Scraper planes were absent. Flaked-stone tools consisted mostly of utilized flakes used as scrapers. The Elsinore site during the Middle Holocene was a “recurrent extended encampment” which could have been occupied during much of the year. Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 9 November 2023 2023-169 The Encinitas Tradition lasted longer in inland areas because Takic speakers did not move east into these areas until circa 1,000 BP. Greven Knoll III (3,000 to 1,000 BP) is present at the Liberty Grove site in Cucamonga (Salls 1983) and at sites in Cajon Pass that were defined as part of the Sayles Complex (Kowta 1969). Greven Knoll III sites have a large proportion of manos and metates and core tools as well as scraper planes. Kowta (1969) suggested the scraper planes may have been used to process yucca and agave. The faunal assemblage consists of large quantities of lagomorphs (rabbits and hares) and lesser quantities of deer, rodents, birds, carnivores, and reptiles. 3.1.4 Palomar Tradition (1,250 to 150 BP) The native people of southern California (north of a line from Agua Hedionda to Lake Henshaw in San Diego County) spoke Takic languages which form a branch or subfamily of the Uto-Aztecan language family. The Takic languages are divided into the Gabrielino-Fernandeño language, the Serrano-Kitanemuk group (the Serrano [includes the Vanyume dialect] and Kitanemuk languages), the Tataviam language, and the Cupan group (the Luiseño-Juaneño language, the Cahuilla Language, and the Cupeño language) (Golla 2011). According to Sutton (2009), Takic speakers occupied the southern San Joaquin Valley before 3,500 BP. Perhaps as a result of the arrival of Yokutsan speakers (a language in the Penutian language family) from the north, Takic speakers moved southeast. The ancestors of the Kitanemuk moved into the Tehachapi Mountains and the ancestors of the Tataviam moved into the upper Santa Clara River drainage. The ancestors of the Gabrielino (Tongva) moved into the Los Angeles Basin about 3,500 BP, replacing the native Hokan speakers. Speakers of proto-Gabrielino reached the southern Channel Islands by 3,200 BP (Sutton 2009) and moved as far south as Aliso Creek in Orange County by 3,000 BP. Takic people moved south into southern Orange County after 1,250 BP and became the ancestors of the Juaneño. Takic people moved inland from southern Orange County about 1,000 BP, becoming the ancestors of the Luiseño, Cupeño, and Cahuilla. Takic people from the Kitanemuk area moved east along the northern slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains and spread into the San Bernardino Mountains and along the Mojave River becoming the ancestors of the Serrano and the Vanyume. The material culture of the inland areas where Takic languages were spoken at the time of Spanish contact is part of the Palomar Tradition (Sutton 2011). San Luis Rey I Phase (1,000 to 500 BP) and San Luis Rey II Phase (500 to 150 BP) pertain to the area occupied by the Luiseño at the time of Spanish contact. The Peninsular I (1,000 to 750 BP), II (750 to 300 BP), and III (300 to 150 BP) Phases are used in the areas occupied by the Cahuilla and Serrano (Sutton 2011). San Luis Rey I is characterized by Cottonwood Triangular arrow points, use of bedrock mortars, stone pendants, shell beads, quartz crystals, and bone tools. San Luis Rey II sees the addition of ceramics, including ceramic cremation urns, red pictographs on boulders in village sites, and steatite arrow straighteners. San Luis Rey II represents the archaeological manifestation of the antecedents of the historically known Luiseño (Goldberg 2001). During San Luis Rey I there were a series of small permanent residential bases at water sources, each occupied by a kin group (probably a lineage). During San Luis Rey II people from several related residential bases moved into a large village located at the most reliable water source (Waugh 1986). Each village had a territory that included acorn harvesting camps at higher Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 10 November 2023 2023-169 elevations. Villages have numerous bedrock mortars, large dense midden areas with a full range of flaked and ground stone tools, rock art, and a cemetery. 3.2 Ethnohistory Ethnographic accounts of Native Americans indicate that the Gabrieliño (also known as Gabrieleno, or Tongva) once occupied the region that encompasses the Project Area. At the time of contact with Europeans, the Gabrieliño were the main occupants of the southern Channel Islands, the Los Angeles Basin, much of Orange County, and extended as far east as the western San Bernardino Valley. The term “Gabrieliño” came from the group’s association with Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, established in 1771. The Gabrieliño are believed to have been one of the most populous and wealthy Native American tribes in southern California prior to European contact, (Bean and Smith 1978; McCawley 1996; Moratto 1984) and spoke a Takic language. The Takic group of languages is part of the Uto-Aztecan language family. The Gabrieliño occupied villages located along rivers and at the mouths of canyons. Populations ranged from 50 to 200 inhabitants. Residential structures within the villages were domed, circular, and made from thatched tule or other available wood. Gabrieliño society was organized by kinship groups, with each group composed of several related families who together owned hunting and gathering territories. Settlement patterns varied according to the availability of floral and faunal resources (Bean and Smith 1978; McCawley 1996; Miller 1991). Vegetal staples consisted of acorns, chia, seeds, piñon nuts, sage, cacti, roots, and bulbs. Animals hunted included deer, antelope, coyote, rabbits, squirrels, rodents, birds, and snakes. The Gabrieliño also fished and collected marine shellfish (Bean and Smith 1978; McCawley 1996; Miller 1991). By the late 18th century, Gabrieliño population had significantly dwindled due to introduced European diseases and dietary deficiencies. Gabrieliño communities disintegrated as families were taken to the missions (Bean and Smith 1978; McCawley 1996; Miller 1991). However, current descendants of the Gabrieliño are preserving Gabrieliño culture. 3.3 Regional History The first European to visit California was Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo was sent north by the Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) to look for the Northwest Passage. Cabrillo visited San Diego Bay, Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, and the northern Channel Islands. The English adventurer Francis Drake visited the Miwok Native American group at Drake’s Bay or Bodega Bay in 1579. Sebastian Vizcaíno explored the coast as far north as Monterey in 1602. He reported that Monterey was an excellent location for a port (Castillo 1978). Vizcaíno also named San Diego Bay to commemorate Saint Didacus. The name began to appear on European maps of the New World by 1624 (Gudde 1998). Colonization of California began with the Spanish Portolá land expedition. The expedition, led by Captain Gaspar de Portolá of the Spanish army and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, explored the California coast from San Diego to the Monterrey Bay Area in 1769. As a result of this expedition, Spanish missions to convert the native population, presidios (forts), and towns were established. The Franciscan missionary friars established 21 missions in Alta California (the area north of Baja California) beginning Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 11 November 2023 2023-169 with Mission San Diego in 1769 and ending with the mission in Sonoma established in 1823. The purpose of the missions and presidios was to establish Spanish economic, military, political, and religious control over the Alta California territory. Mission San Diego was established to convert the Native Americans that lived in the area, known as the Kumeyaay or Diegueño. Mission San Gabriel Archangel was founded in 1771 east of what is now Los Angeles to convert the Tongva or Gabrielino. Mission San Fernando, also in Tongva/Gabrielino territory, was established in 1797. Mission San Juan Capistrano was established in 1776 on San Juan Creek (in what is now southern Orange County) to convert the Acjachemen or Juaneño. Mission San Luis Rey was established in 1798 on the San Luis Rey River (in what is now northern San Diego County) to convert the Luiseño. Missions San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara were founded in Chumash territory in 1782 and 1786, respectively (Castillo 1978). Some missions later established outposts in inland areas. An asistencia (mission outpost) of Mission San Luis Rey, known as San Antonio de Pala, was built in Luiseño territory along the upper San Luis Rey River near Mount Palomar in 1810 (Pourade 1961). A chapel administered by Mission San Gabriel Archangel was established in the San Bernardino area in 1819 (Bean and Smith 1978). The present asistencia within the western outskirts of present-day Redlands was built circa 1830 (Haenszel and Reynolds 1975). The missions sustained themselves through cattle ranching and traded hides and tallow for supplies brought by ship. Large cattle ranches were established by Mission San Luis Rey at Temecula and San Jacinto (Gunther 1984). The Spanish also constructed presidios, or forts, at San Diego and Santa Barbara, and a pueblo, or town, was established at Los Angeles. The Spanish period in California began in 1769 with the Portolá expedition and ended in 1821 with Mexican independence. After Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, what is now California became the Mexican province of Alta California. The Mexican government closed the missions in the 1830s and former mission lands were granted to retired soldiers and other Mexican citizens for use as cattle ranches. Much of the land along the coast and in the interior valleys became part of Mexican land grants or “ranchos” (Robinson 1948). During the Mexican period there were small towns at San Diego (near the presidio), San Juan Capistrano (around the mission), and Los Angeles. The rancho owners lived in one of the towns or in an adobe house on the rancho. The Mexican Period includes the years 1821 to 1848. The American period began when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California. Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land that was not part of a land grant was owned by the U.S. government until it was acquired by individuals through purchase or homesteading. Floods and drought in the 1860s greatly reduced the cattle herds on the ranchos, making it difficult to pay the new American taxes on the thousands of acres they owned. Many Mexican-American cattle ranchers borrowed money at usurious rates from newly arrived Anglo- Americans. The resulting foreclosures and land sales transferred most of the land grants into the hands of Anglo-Americans (Cleland 1941). Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 12 November 2023 2023-169 3.4 Fontana Area History The Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company purchased 28,500 acres west of Lytle Creek in 1887 and planned three townsites, the third of which they called Rosena. Rosena was planned where Fontana is now. Streets for Rosena were laid out, but Lytle Creek proved unable to bring a reliable water supply this far west, and the company went bankrupt before Rosena could be developed. In 1905, Azariel Blanchard (A.B.) Miller and associates leased 17,000 acres of former Semi-Tropic land that had been intended for development as Rosena from the Fontana Development Company. Using animal-drawn plows and scrapers, Miller created farms, installed irrigation, raised grain, and finally planted in 1910. By 1913, Miller subdivided the area into smaller plots, and the community of Fontana was thus founded in 1913 as an agricultural community. By 1913, the National Old Trails Association established a portion of unpaved highway next to the railroad tracks from Rialto to Rancho Cucamonga. They made a map of the new roadway but did not label Fontana. By 1926, Route 66 had followed the National Old Trails Highway, giving Fontana a new economic corridor (City of Fontana n.d.a; Fontana Historical Society 2015; Schuiling 1984). Fontana became a popular location for livestock. By 1819, ten families were raising chickens, which became five hundred families by 1926. The United States Department of Agriculture selected Fontana for the only Experimental Rabbit Breeding Station in 1928, and later, food scraps from Los Angeles were shipped by train to feed hogs. At the start of WWII, Fontana was the home of 50,000 hogs, the largest hog ranch in the world at that time (Schuiling 1984). During WWII, Henry Kaiser began steel mill operations in Fontana. By 1942, Fontana was the first town on the west coast to provide rolled steel plates which were used for Victory and Liberty class military ships. The steel mill transformed Fontana from an agricultural to an industrial city and was a major employer for many years after World War II (City of Fontana n.d.a; Schuiling 1984). On June 25, 1952, Fontana was incorporated as a city. By 1968, they had established the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area, and the Fontana Redevelopment Agency, which continues to design long- range revitalization projects in Fontana (City of Fontana n.d.a., n.d.b.). In 1965, Caltrans completed Interstate 10, connecting Fontana with Los Angeles to the west, and San Bernardino and Arizona to the east by car. The interstate provided more traffic, but also diverted travelers away from the downtown businesses along Route 66 (City of Fontana n.d.a.; Road Trip Journeys 2019). This was likely an unintended consequence of design, since Route 66 was a roadway with businesses at its side, where travelers can pull over at any time; the interstate system is a closed system, where no businesses are at the roadside, and the roadway is entered and exited at controlled points. Today, Fontana is the second most-populous city in San Bernardino County, with retail, health care, and manufacturing as its biggest employers. Fontana’s focus from 1983 to 2006 on transforming into a bedroom community has let it to now begin attracting professional businesses and enliven its downtown district (City of Fontana City Council 2018; City of Fontana n.d.a.; Road Trip Journeys 2019; Sperling’s Best Places n.d.). This has been facilitated by Interstates 10, 15, and 210 traversing the city, which allows for travel to the north, south, east, and west of the city for its residents to work elsewhere.

The purpose of the records search was to determine the extent of previous surveys within a 1-mile (1,600-meter) radius of the Proposed Project Area, and whether previously documented pre- contact or historic archaeological sites, architectural resources, or traditional cultural properties exist within this area. In addition to the official records and maps for archaeological sites and surveys in San Bernardino County, the following historic references were also reviewed: Built Environment Resource Directory (OHP 2022); Historic Property Data File for San Bernardino County (OHP 2012); the National Register Information System (National Park Service [NPS] 2023); Office of Historic Preservation, California Historical Landmarks (CHL; OHP 2023a); CHL (OHP 1996 and updates); California Points of Historical Interest (OHP 1992 and updates); Directory of Properties in the Historical Resources Inventory (1999); Caltrans Local Bridge Survey (Caltrans 2020); Caltrans State Bridge Survey (Caltrans 2023); and Historic Spots in California (Kyle 2002). Other references examined include a RealQuest Property Search and historic General Land Office (GLO) land patent records (Bureau of Land Management [BLM] 2023). Historic maps reviewed include the:   1856 BLM GLO Plat map for Township 1 South, Range 5 West; Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 15 November 2023 2023-169   1873 BLM GLO Plat map for Township 1 South, Range 5 West;   1889 BLM GLO Plat map for Township 1 South, Range 5 West;   1898 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale);   1901 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale);   1942 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale);   1943 USGS Fontana California topographic quadrangle map (1:31,680 scale);   1953 USGS Fontana, California topographic quadrangle map (1:24,000 scale);   1954 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale); and   1967 USGS Fontana, California topographic quadrangle map (1:24,000 scale). ECORP reviewed historic aerial photographs taken in 1938, 1948, 1959, 1966, 1985, and 1994 for any indications of property usage and built environment. 4.3 Sacred Lands File Coordination Methods In addition to the records search, ECORP contacted the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on August 25, 2023 to request a search of the Sacred Lands File for the Project Area (Appendix B). This search determines whether the California Native American tribes within the Project Area have recorded Sacred Lands, because the Sacred Lands File is populated by members of the Native American community with knowledge about the locations of tribal resources. In requesting a search of the Sacred Lands File, ECORP solicited information from the Native American community regarding TCRs, but the responsibility to formally consult with the Native American community lies exclusively with the federal and local agencies under applicable state and federal laws. The lead agencies do not delegate government-to- government authority to any private entity to conduct tribal consultation. 4.4 Other Interested Party Consultation Methods ECORP emailed the Fontana Historical Society on August 25, 2023 to solicit comments or obtain historical information that the repository might have regarding events, people, or resources of historical significance in the area (Appendix A). 4.5 Field Methods ECORP subjected the Project Area to an intensive pedestrian survey on September 14, 2023 under the guidance of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Identification of Historic Properties (NPS 1983) using 15-meter-spaced transects. ECORP expended 0.25 person-day in the field. At the time, ECORP examined the ground surface for indications of surface or subsurface cultural resources and inspected the general morphological characteristics of the ground surface for indications of subsurface deposits that may be manifested on the surface, such as circular depressions or ditches. Whenever possible, ECORP examined the locations of subsurface exposures caused by such factors as rodent activity, water or soil Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 16 November 2023 2023-169 erosion, or vegetation disturbances for artifacts or for indications of buried deposits. ECORP did not conduct subsurface investigations or artifact collections during the pedestrian survey. Standard professional practice requires that all cultural resources encountered during the survey be recorded using Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523-series forms approved by the California OHP. The resources are usually photographed, mapped using a handheld Global Positioning System receiver, and sketched as necessary to document their presence using appropriate DPR forms. 5.0 RESULTS 5.1 Records Search The records search consisted of a review of previous research and literature, records on file with the SCCIC for previously recorded resources, and historical aerial photographs and maps of the vicinity. 5.1.1 Previous Research Twenty-six previous cultural resource investigations have been conducted within 1 mile of the Project Area, covering approximately 10 percent of the total area surrounding the Project Area within the records search radius (Appendix A). Of the 26 studies within the 1-mile radius, 2 were conducted within the Project Area. Alexandrowicz et al. (1992) and McKenna (2004) conducted studies that included the current Project Area, but no cultural resources were recorded. Appendix A lists the reports located within 1 mile of the Project Area. These studies revealed the presence of pre-contact sites, including stone circles, tools, and Millingstone Horizon sites, and historical sites, including architecture associated with ranching activities, residences and other buildings, and avenues and streets. The previous studies were conducted between 1973 and 2015 and vary in size from 8 to 12,800 acres. The results of the records search indicate that more than half of the Project Area has been previously surveyed for cultural resources; however, these studies were conducted in smaller segments, at different times, by different consultants, as many as 50 years ago, or under obsolete standards. Therefore, ECORP conducted a pedestrian survey of the Project Area for the Project under current protocols. The records search also determined that three previously recorded pre-contact and historic-era cultural resources are located within 1 mile of the Project Area (Table 1). All three are believed to be associated with early historic-period privies/trash scatters and a religious building. There are no previously recorded cultural resources within or adjacent to the Project Area. Table 1.

None of the resources listed on the BERD within 1 mile of the Project Area have been found eligible for the NRHP. The National Register Information System (NPS 2023) failed to reveal any eligible or listed properties within the Project Area. The nearest National Register property is Bono’s Restaurant, approximately 2.5 miles west of the Project Area. ECORP reviewed resources listed as California Historical Landmarks (OHP 1996) by the OHP (2023a) on August 15, 2023. The nearest listed landmark is #950, United States Rabbit Experimental Station; the plaque is located 2.19 miles west of the Project Area (OHP 2023b). Historic Spots in California (Kyle 2002) mentions CHL #950, which was the only experimental rabbit breeding station in the United States. Historic GLO land patent records from the BLM’s patent information database (BLM 2023) revealed that the entirety of Township 1 South, Range 5 West was patented to Andrew J. Pope on June 10, 1870 (BLM Serial Number CACAAA 084020) under the Sale-Cash entry authority (April 24, 1820: Sale-Cash Entry 3 Stat. 566). A RealQuest online property search for APNs 02-431-4201, 02-431-4202, 02-431-4203, 02-431-4204, 02- 431-4205, and 02-431-4206 revealed that the Project Area had been previously used for school district purposes. The APN results indicate that structures have been present since 1948 with no further details regarding their presence currently. The Caltrans Bridge Local and State Inventories (Caltrans 2020, 2023) did not list any historic bridges within 1 mile of the Project Area. The nearest bridges are 1.9 miles north of the Project Area and were built for SR 210 around 2004 to 2005. Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 18 November 2023 2023-169 The Handbook of North American Indians (Bean and Smith 1978) lists the nearest Native American villages as being located on Jurupa Rancho, approximately 6 miles south of the Project Area. 5.1.3 Map Review and Aerial Photographs A review of historical aerial photographs and maps of the Project Area provides information on the past land uses of the Project Area and potential for buried archaeological sites. This information shows that the Project Area was initially used for agriculture. Following is a summary of the review of historical maps and photographs:   The 1856 BLM GLO Plat map for Township 1 South, Range 5 West depicts the Project Area as undeveloped and the Los Angeles & San Bernardino Road in the top half of Section 4.   The 1873 BLM GLO Plat map for Township 1 South, Range 5 West depicts the Project Area as undeveloped and does not depict the Los Angeles & San Bernardino Road.   The 1889 BLM GLO Plat map for Township 1 South, Range 5 West depicts the Project Area as undeveloped and again depicts the Los Angeles & San Bernardino Road in the top half of Section 4.   The 1898 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale) depicts the Project Area as undeveloped and houses in the immediate vicinity.   The 1901 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale) does not depict any further development.   Aerial photographs from 1938 show that the Project Area is being used for agriculture.   The 1942 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale) depicts a residence as within the Project Area.   The 1943 USGS Fontana California topographic quadrangle map (1:31,680 scale) depicts residences to the north and west of Foothill Boulevard and Maple Avenue, one of which is in the Project Area.   Aerial photographs from 1948 show structures north and west of Maple Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, one of which is located within the Project Area.   The 1953 USGS Fontana, California topographic quadrangle map (1:24,000 scale) depicts the Project Area as having one main structure and three ancillary structures.   The 1954 USGS San Bernardino, California topographic quadrangle map (1:62,500 scale) map depicts agricultural use within the Project Area and homes immediately to the south.   Aerial photographs from 1959 and 1966 show five structures within the Project Area.   The 1967 USGS Fontana, California topographic quadrangle map (1:24,000 scale) depicts further development along Maple Avenue and Foothill Boulevard outside of the Project Area. Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 19 November 2023 2023-169   Aerial photographs from 1985 are unclear due to limited resolution, however, it appears that one of the northern buildings is no longer present.   Aerial photographs from 1994 are also limited in resolution, but the buildings are no longer present. In sum, the Project Area had been used for agricultural or school district purposes and was vacant until 1948; the buildings were removed by 1994. 5.2 Sacred Lands File Results The results of the NAHC search of the Sacred Lands File were received on October 20, 2023. The search was positive, indicating the presence of sacred lands within the Project Area. A record of all correspondence to date is provided in Appendix B. 5.3 Other Interested Party Consultation Results ECORP has not received any responses to the email sent to the Fontana Historical Society as of the date of the preparation of this document. 5.4 Field Survey Results ECORP surveyed the Project Area for cultural resources on September 14, 2023. The ground surface visibility throughout the Project Area varied from good to poor. Areas with good visibility (i.e., between 60 and 90 percent) included the entire western half of the Project Area and large sections of the eastern half. Areas with fair and poor visibility (i.e., between 0 and 50 percent) included portions of the eastern half of the Project Area with dense vegetation and the areas beneath a trailer and a storage container, which were centered in the northern portion of the Project Area. Most of the Project Area was covered in moderately dense vegetation consisting of Russian thistle, ragweed, crabgrass, and other species. The entire Project Area appeared to have been disced, and the soil was loose and contained numerous animal burrows. The Project Area was also surrounded by a chain-link fence, which was down in one corner of the Project Area. Disturbances present included animal tracks, animal burrows, foot traffic, and a substantial amount of modern refuse throughout the Project Area. As a result of the field survey, ECORP did not locate any cultural resources within the Project Area. Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 20 November 2023 2023-169 Figure 2. Project Area Overview (view southwest; September 14, 2023). Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 21 November 2023 2023-169 6.0 MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS 6.1 Conclusions The records search and 2023 field survey did not yield any historic-period or pre-contact cultural resources within the Project Area. Therefore, no known Historic Properties under Section 106 of the NHPA or Historical Resources under CEQA will be affected by the Proposed Project. 6.2 Likelihood for Subsurface Cultural Resources The Project Area and surrounding areas have not been studied extensively to determine the presence of cultural resources. Therefore, previous investigations are not sufficient to indicate the likelihood for subsurface cultural resources in the Project Area. Due to the presence of quaternary alluvial soils dating to the Holocene, the positive indication of sacred lands within the Project Area, and the likelihood of precontact sites along perennial waterways such as nearby Lytle Creek, there exists a moderate potential for buried pre-contact archaeological sites within the Project Area. Due to the presence of historic-period homes as shown in historic maps and historic aerial photograph reviews, but a lack of surface evidence to support their current presence, there exists a moderate potential for intact buried historic-period archaeological sites within the Project Area. 6.3 Recommendations 6.3.1 Contractor Awareness Training The lead agency shall ensure that a Contractor Awareness Training Program is delivered to train equipment operators about cultural resources. The program shall be designed to inform construction personnel about: federal and state regulations pertaining to cultural resources and tribal cultural resources; the subsurface indicators of resources that shall require a work stoppage; procedures for notifying the lead agency of any occurrences; Project-specific requirements and mitigation measures; and enforcement of penalties and repercussions for non-compliance with the program. The training shall be prepared by a qualified professional archaeologist and may be provided either through a brochure, video, or in-person tailgate meeting, as determined appropriate by the archaeologist. The training shall be provided to all construction supervisors, forepersons, and operators of ground- disturbing equipment. All personnel shall be required to sign a training roster. The construction manager is responsible for ensuring that all required personnel receive the training. The Construction Manager shall provide a copy of the signed training roster to the lead agency as proof of compliance. 6.3.2 Archaeological Monitoring A qualified professional archaeologist, meeting or working under the direction of someone meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards, should be retained to monitor all ground- disturbing activities associated with Project construction, including vegetation removal, clearing, grading, trenching, excavation, or other activities that will disturb original (pre-Project) ground. The monitor must have the authority to temporarily pause activity at the location in the event of an unanticipated discovery, Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc. Maple Property 22 November 2023 2023-169 so that they can direct the procedures in the following section. Initially, one monitor may be assigned to the Project who circulates throughout all areas of active ground disturbance. In the event of an unanticipated discovery, the lead agency should reconsider the number of monitors to ensure that future discoveries are managed in accordance with state law and federal laws. 6.3.3 Post-Review Discoveries There always remains the potential for ground-disturbing activities to expose previously unrecorded cultural resources. Both CEQA and Section 106 of the NHPA require the lead agency to address any unanticipated cultural resource discoveries during Project construction. Therefore, ECORP recommends the following procedures.   If subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin are discovered during construction, all work must halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery. A qualified professional archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for prehistoric and historic archaeology, shall be retained to evaluate the significance of the find, and shall have the authority to modify the no-work radius as appropriate, using professional judgment. The following notifications shall apply, depending on the nature of the find:   If the professional archaeologist determines that the find does not represent a cultural resource, work may resume immediately, and no agency notifications are required.   If the professional archaeologist determines that the find does represent a cultural resource from any time period or cultural affiliation, the archaeologist shall immediately notify the lead agencies. The agencies shall consult on a finding of eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined by CEQA or a historic property under Section 106 NHPA, if applicable. Work may not resume within the no- work radius until the lead agencies, through consultation as appropriate, determine that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA or a Historic Property under Section 106; or 2) that the treatment measures have been completed to their satisfaction.   If the find includes human remains, or remains that are potentially human, they shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance (AB 2641). The archaeologist shall notify the San Bernardino County Coroner (per Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, Section 5097.98 of the California PRC, and AB 2641 will be implemented. If the coroner determines the remains are Native American and not the result of a crime scene, the coroner will notify the NAHC, which then will designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the Project (Section 5097.98 of the PRC). The designated MLD will have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains. If the landowner does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (Section 5097.94 of the PRC). If no agreement is reached, the landowner must rebury the remains where they will not be further disturbed (Section 5097.98 of the PRC). This will also include either recording the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center; using an open space or conservation zoning designation or easement; or recording a reinternment Archaeological Resources Inventory Report ECORP Consulting, Inc.

Work may not resume within the no-work radius until the lead agencies, through consultation as appropriate, determine that the treatment measures have been completed to their satisfaction.

ViaEmail to: nbizzell@ecorpconsulting.com Re: Diversified Pacific-Fontana Maple Property Project , San Bernardino County Dear Mr. Bizzell: A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information 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 information. Please note that tribes do not always record their sacred sites in the SLF, nor are they required to do so. A SLF search is not a substitute for consultation with tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with a project’s geographic area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites, such as the appropriate regional California Historical Research Information System (CHRIS) archaeological Information Center for the presence of recorded archaeological 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. Please contact all of those listed; if they cannot supply information, they mayrecommend 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 the NAHC. 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: Cameron.vela@nahc.ca.gov.
