The project is located in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The 9.49-acre property (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN] 0234-061-04) is located west of Almond Avenue between San Bernardino Avenue and Valley Boulevard. The project is situated within Section 22, Township 1 South, Range 6 West, as shown on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Fontana, California (7.5-minute) topographic quadrangle map. The project proposes the improvement of the parcel for use as a tractor trailer storage yard. The purpose of the current investigation was to locate and record any cultural resources within the project and subsequently evaluate any resources as part of the City of Fontana environmental review process conducted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The archaeological investigation of the project includes an archaeological records search conducted at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University, Fullerton (CSU Fullerton) in order to assess previous archaeological studies and identify any previously recorded archaeological sites within the project or in the immediate vicinity. The records search identified 36 resources within a one-mile radius of the project, all of which are historic. One of the recorded resources, Site SBR-4131H (Kaiser Steel Mill), is recorded within the subject property. However, it appears the boundary for Site SBR-4131H was loosely drawn, and although in proximity of the original location of the Kaiser Steel Mill, the project does not appear to have ever contained any elements of the resource. The SCCIC records search results also identified 23 previous studies within one mile of the project, one of which overlaps the subject property (Owens 1995). A Sacred Lands File (SLF) search was also requested from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC SLF search results were negative for the presence of any recorded Native American sacred sites or locations of religious or ceremonial importance within the project vicinity. Principal Investigator Tracy A. Stropes, M.A., RPA, directed the archaeological survey with assistance from BFSA archaeologist Mary Chitjian on August 5, 2025. The archaeological study included an intensive reconnaissance survey, consisting of a series of transects conducted across the project. The survey did not identify any cultural resources within the subject property. Further, aerial photographs indicate the property was historically utilized for agriculture, as a gravel pit, and has been graded. Given the previous ground-disturbing activites and the survey results, there is little to no potential for archaeological resources to be encountered by the proposed project. As such, archaeological monitoring of grading is not recommended based upon the findings of this cultural resources assessment. A copy of this report will be permanently filed with the SCCIC at CSU Fullerton. All notes, photographs, and other materials related to this project will be curated at the BFSA archaeological laboratory in Poway, California. Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Description The archaeological survey program for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project was conducted in order to comply with CEQA and City of Fontana environmental requirements. The project is located in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California (Figure 1.1–1). The 9.49-acre project (APN 0234-061-04) is located west of Almond Avenue between San Bernardino Avenue and Valley Boulevard. Specifically, the project is situated within Section 22, Township 1 South, Range 6 West, as shown on the USGS Fontana, California (7.5-minute) topographic quadrangle map (Figure 1.1–2). The project proposes the improvement of the parcel for use as a tractor trailer storage yard (Figures 1.1–3). The decision to request the current investigation was based upon the cultural resource sensitivity of the locality, as suggested by known site density and predictive modeling. Sensitivity for cultural resources in a given area is usually indicated by known settlement patterns, which, in southwestern San Bernardino County, were focused around freshwater resources and a food supply. 1.2 Environmental Setting The project is located in the Fontana region of San Bernardino County. The subject property is part of the Chino Basin, south of the San Gabriel Mountains, north of the Jurupa Mountains, and west of the San Bernardino Mountains. The San Gabriel Mountains to the north extend east from Newhall Pass in Los Angeles County to the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. These mountains are part of the Transverse Ranges with peaks exceeding 9,000 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The Jurupa Mountains are part of the Perris tectonic block and constitute the northernmost portion of the Peninsular Ranges (MacKevett 1951; Morton 2003). The Jurupa Mountains mainly consist of Cretaceous granitic and pre-Cretaceous metamorphic rocks, with the lower slopes mantled by a sedimentary detritus of Pleistocene-aged alluvial fan deposits. Geologically, the project is mapped as Holocene and late Pleistocene young alluvial fan deposits of Lytle Creek, which is characterized as unconsolidated, gray, cobbly and bouldery alluvium of Lytle Creek fan (Morton 2003). Lytle Creek is located approximately 9.3 miles northeast of the property. Geomorphically, the project is relatively flat lying with a gentle slope to the southwest. Average elevations within the project range from approximately 1,045 feet AMSL to 1,073 feet AMSL.

Therefore, vegetation within the project consists entirely of non-native weeds and grasses and maintained commercial landscape. During the prehistoric period, vegetation near the project provided sufficient food resources to support prehistoric occupants. Animals that inhabited the project during prehistoric times included mammals such as rabbits, squirrels, gophers, mice, rats, deer, and coyotes, in addition to a variety of reptiles and amphibians. The natural setting of the project during the prehistoric occupation also offered a rich nutritional resource base. Fresh water was likely obtainable from intermittent streams within the Jurupa Mountains, or the Santa Ana River, the latter of which is located approximately seven miles south of the property. 1.3 Cultural Setting Paleo Indian, Archaic Period Milling Stone Horizon, and the Late Prehistoric Shoshonean groups are the three general cultural periods represented in San Bernardino County. The following discussion of the cultural history of San Bernardino County references the San Dieguito Complex, the Encinitas Tradition, the Milling Stone Horizon, the La Jolla Complex, the Pauma Complex, and the San Luis Rey Complex, since these culture sequences have been used to describe archaeological manifestations in the region. The Late Prehistoric component in the southwestern area of San Bernardino County was represented by the Gabrielino and Serrano Indians. According to Kroeber (1976), the Serrano probably owned a stretch of the Sierra Madre from Cucamonga east to above Mentone and halfway up to San Timoteo Canyon, including the San Bernardino Valley and just missing Riverside County. However, Kroeber (1976) also states that this area has been assigned to the Gabrielino, “which would be a more natural division of topography, since it would leave the Serrano pure mountaineers.” Absolute chronological information, where possible, will be incorporated into this discussion to examine the effectiveness of continuing to use these terms interchangeably. Reference will be made to the geologic framework that divides the culture chronology of the area into four segments: late Pleistocene (20,000 to 10,000 years before the present [YBP]), early Holocene (10,000 to 6,650 YBP), middle Holocene (6,650 to 3,350 YBP), and late Holocene (3,350 to 200 YBP). Paleo Indian Period (Late Pleistocene: 11,500 to circa 9,000 YBP) The Paleo Indian Period is associated with the terminus of the late Pleistocene (12,000 to 10,000 YBP). The environment during the late Pleistocene was cool and moist, which allowed for glaciation in the mountains and the formation of deep, pluvial lakes in the deserts and basin lands (Moratto 1984). However, by the terminus of the late Pleistocene, the climate became warmer, which caused glaciers to melt, sea levels to rise, greater coastal erosion, large lakes to recede and evaporate, extinction of Pleistocene megafauna, and major vegetation changes (Moratto 1984; Martin 1967, 1973; Fagan 1991). The coastal shoreline at 10,000 YBP, depending upon the particular area of the coast, was near the 30-meter isobath, or two to six kilometers further west Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–6 than its present location (Masters 1983). Paleo Indians were likely attracted to multiple habitat types, including mountains, marshlands, estuaries, and lakeshores. These people likely subsisted using a more generalized hunting, gathering, and collecting adaptation, utilizing a variety of resources including birds, mollusks, and both large and small mammals (Erlandson and Colten 1991; Moratto 1984; Moss and Erlandson 1995). Archaic Period (Early and Middle Holocene: circa 9000 to 1300 YBP) The Archaic Period of prehistory began with the onset of the Holocene circa 9,000 YBP. The transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene was a period of major environmental change throughout North America (Antevs 1953; Van Devender and Spaulding 1979). The general warming trend caused sea levels to rise, lakes to evaporate, and drainage patterns to change. In southern California, the general climate at the beginning of the early Holocene was marked by cool/moist periods and an increase in warm/dry periods and sea levels. The coastal shoreline at 8,000 YBP, depending upon the particular area of the coast, was near the 20-meter isobath, or one to four kilometers further west than its present location (Masters 1983). The rising sea level during the early Holocene created rocky shorelines and bays along the coast by flooding valley floors and eroding the coastline (Curray 1965; Inman 1983). Shorelines were primarily rocky with small littoral cells, as sediments were deposited at bay edges but rarely discharged into the ocean (Reddy 2000). These bays eventually evolved into lagoons and estuaries, which provided a rich habitat for mollusks and fish. The warming trend and rising sea levels generally continued until the late Holocene (4,000 to 3,500 YBP). At the beginning of the late Holocene, sea levels stabilized, rocky shores declined, lagoons filled with sediment, and sandy beaches became established (Gallegos 1985; Inman 1983; Masters 1994; Miller 1966; Warren and Pavesic 1963). Many former lagoons became saltwater marshes surrounded by coastal sage scrub by the late Holocene (Gallegos 2002). The sedimentation of the lagoons was significant in that it had profound effects upon the types of resources available to prehistoric peoples. Habitat was lost for certain large mollusks, namely Chione and Argopecten, but habitat was gained for other small mollusks, particularly Donax (Gallegos 1985; Reddy 2000). The changing lagoon habitats resulted in the decline of larger shellfish, the loss of drinking water, and the loss of Torrey Pine nuts, causing a major depopulation of the coast as people shifted inland to reliable freshwater sources and intensified their exploitation of terrestrial small game and plants, including acorns (originally proposed by Rogers 1929; Gallegos 2002). The Archaic Period in southern California is associated with a number of different cultures, complexes, traditions, horizons, and periods, including San Dieguito, La Jolla, Encinitas, Milling Stone, Pauma, and Intermediate. Late Prehistoric Period (Late Holocene: 1,300 YBP to 1790) Approximately 1,350 YBP, a Shoshonean-speaking group from the Great Basin region moved into San Bernardino County, marking the transition into the Late Prehistoric Period. This Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–7 period has been characterized by higher population densities and elaborations in social, political, and technological systems. Economic systems diversified and intensified during this period, with the continued elaboration of trade networks, the use of shell-bead currency, and the appearance of more labor-intensive, yet effective, technological innovations. Technological developments during this period included the introduction of the bow and arrow between A.D. 400 and 600 and the introduction of ceramics. Atlatl darts were replaced by smaller arrow darts, including the Cottonwood series points. Other hallmarks of the Late Prehistoric Period include extensive trade networks as far reaching as the Colorado River Basin and cremation of the dead. Gabrielino The territory of the Gabrielino at the time of Spanish contact covers much of present-day Los Angeles and Orange counties. The southern extent of this culture area is bounded by Aliso Creek, the eastern extent is located east of present-day San Bernardino along the Santa Ana River, the northern extent includes the San Fernando Valley, and the western extent includes portions of the Santa Monica Mountains. The Gabrielino also occupied several Channel Islands including Santa Barbara Island, Santa Catalina Island, San Nicholas Island, and San Clemente Island. Because of their access to certain resources, including a steatite source from Santa Catalina Island, this group was among the wealthiest and most populous aboriginal groups in all of southern California. Trade of materials and resources controlled by the Gabrielino extended as far north as the San Joaquin Valley, as far east as the Colorado River, and as far south as Baja California (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). The Gabrielino lived in permanent villages and smaller resource gathering camps occupied at various times of the year depending upon the seasonality of the resource. Larger villages were comprised of several families or clans, while smaller seasonal camps typically housed smaller family units. The coastal area between San Pedro and Topanga Canyon was the location of primary subsistence villages, while secondary sites were located near inland sage stands, oak groves, and pine forests. Permanent villages were located along rivers and streams, as well as in sheltered areas along the coast. As previously mentioned, the Channel Islands were also the locations of relatively large settlements (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Resources procured along the coast and on the islands were primarily marine in nature and included tuna, swordfish, ray, shark, California sea lion, Stellar sea lion, harbor seal, northern elephant seal, sea otter, dolphin, porpoise, various waterfowl species, numerous fish species, purple sea urchin, and mollusks such as rock scallop, California mussel, and limpet. Inland resources included oak acorn, pine nut, Mohave yucca, cacti, sage, grass nut, deer, rabbit, hare, rodent, quail, duck, and a variety of reptiles such as western pond turtle and snakes (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). The social structure of the Gabrielino is little known; however, there appears to have been at least three social classes: 1) the elite, which included the rich, chiefs, and their immediate family; 2) a middle class, which included people of relatively high economic status or long-established lineages; and 3) a class of people that included most other individuals in the society. Villages were Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–8 politically autonomous units comprised of several lineages. During times of the year when certain seasonal resources were available, the village would divide into lineage groups and move out to exploit them, returning to the village between forays (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Each lineage had its own leader, with the village chief coming from the dominant lineage. Several villages might be allied under a paramount chief. Chiefly positions were of an ascribed status, most often passed to the eldest son. Chiefly duties included providing village cohesion, leading warfare and peace negotiations with other groups, collecting tribute from the village(s) under his jurisdiction, and arbitrating disputes within the village(s). The status of the chief was legitimized by his safekeeping of the sacred bundle, which was a representation of the link between the material and spiritual realms and the embodiment of power (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Shamans were leaders in the spirit realm. The duties of the shaman included conducting healing and curing ceremonies, guarding the sacred bundle, locating lost items, identifying and collecting poisons for arrows, and making rain (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Marriages were made between individuals of equal social status and, in the case of powerful lineages, marriages were arranged to establish political ties between the lineages (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Men conducted the majority of the heavy labor, hunting, fishing, and trading with other groups. Women’s duties included gathering and preparing plant and animal resources, and making baskets, pots, and clothing (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Gabrielino houses were domed, circular structures made of thatched vegetation. Houses varied in size and could house from one to several families. Sweathouses (semicircular, earth- covered buildings) were public structures used in male social ceremonies. Other structures included menstrual huts and a ceremonial structure called a yuvar, an open-air structure built near the chief’s house (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Clothing was minimal. Men and children most often went naked, while women wore deerskin or bark aprons. In cold weather, deerskin, rabbit fur, or bird skin (with feathers intact) cloaks were worn. Island and coastal groups used sea otter fur for cloaks. In areas of rough terrain, yucca fiber sandals were worn. Women often used red ochre on their faces and skin for adornment or protection from the sun. Adornment items included feathers, fur, shells, and beads (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Hunting implements included wood clubs, sinew-backed bows, slings, and throwing clubs. Maritime implements included rafts, harpoons, spears, hook and line, and nets. A variety of other tools included deer scapulae saws, bone and shell needles, bone awls, scrapers, bone or shell flakers, wedges, stone knives and drills, metates, mullers, manos, shell spoons, bark platters, and wood paddles and bowls. Baskets were made from rush, deer grass, and skunkbush. Baskets were fashioned for hoppers, plates, trays, and winnowers for leaching, straining, and gathering. Baskets were also used for storing, preparing, and serving food, and for keeping personal and ceremonial items (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–9 The Gabrielino had exclusive access to soapstone, or steatite, procured from Santa Catalina Island quarries. This highly prized material was used for making pipes, animal carvings, ritual objects, ornaments, and cooking utensils. The Gabrielino profited well from trading steatite since it was valued so much by groups throughout southern California (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1976). Serrano Aboriginally, the Serrano occupied an area east of present-day Los Angeles. According to Bean and Smith (1978b), definitive boundaries are difficult to place for the Serrano due to their sociopolitical organization and a lack of reliable data: The Serrano were organized into autonomous localized lineages occupying definite, favored territories, but rarely claiming any territory far removed from the lineage’s home base. Since the entire dialectical group was neither politically united nor amalgamated into supralineage groups, as many of their neighbors were, one must speak in terms of generalized areas of usage rather than pan-tribal holdings. (Strong [1929] in Bean and Smith 1978b) However, researchers place the Serrano in the San Bernardino Mountains east of Cajon Pass and at the base of and north of the mountains near Victorville, east to Twentynine Palms, and south to the Yucaipa Valley (Bean and Smith 1978b). Serrano has been used broadly for languages in the Takic family including Serrano, Kitanemuk, Vanyume, and Tataviam. The Serrano were part of “exogamous clans, which in turn were affiliated with one of two exogamous moieties, tukwutam (Wildcat) and wahiʔiam (Coyote)” (Bean and Smith 1978b). According to Strong (1971), details such as number, structure, and function of the clans are unknown. Instead, he states that clans were not political, but were rather structured based upon “economic, marital, or ceremonial reciprocity, a pattern common throughout Southern California” (Bean and Smith 1978b). The Serrano formed alliances amongst their own clans and with Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, Gabrielino, and Cupeño clans (Bean and Smith 1978b). Clans were large, autonomous, political and landholding units formed patrilineally, with all males descending from a common male ancestor, including all wives and descendants of the males. However, even after marriage, women would still keep their original lineage, and would still participate in those ceremonies (Bean and Smith 1978b). According to Bean and Smith (1978b), the cosmogony and cosmography of the Serrano are very similar to those of the Cahuilla: There are twin creator gods, a creation myth told in “epic poem” style, each local group having its own origin story, water babies whose crying foretells death, supernatural beings of various kinds and on various hierarchically arranged power- access levels, an Orpheus-like myth, mythical deer that no one can kill, and tales Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–10 relating the adventures (and misadventures) of Coyote, a tragicomic trickster- transformer culture hero. (Bean [1962-1972] and Benedict [1924] in Bean and Smith 1978b) The Serrano had a shaman, a person who acquired their powers through dreams, which were induced through ingestion of the hallucinogen datura. The shaman was mostly a curer/healer, using herbal remedies and “sucking out the disease-causing agents” (Bean and Smith 1978b). Serrano village locations were typically located near water sources. Individual family dwellings were likely circular, domed structures. Daily household activities would either take place outside of the house out in the open, or under a ramada constructed of a thatched willow pole roof held up by four or more poles inserted into the ground. Families could consist of a husband, wife/wives, unmarried female children, married male children, the husband’s parents, and/or widowed aunts and uncles. Rarely, an individual would occupy his own house, typically in the mountains. Serrano villages also included a large ceremonial house where the lineage leader would live, which served as the religious center for lineages or lineage-sets, granaries, and sweathouses (Bean and Smith 1978b). The Serrano were primarily hunters and gatherers. Vegetal staples varied with locality. Acorns and piñon nuts were found in the foothills, and mesquite, yucca roots, cacti fruits, and piñon nuts were found in or near the desert regions. Diets were supplemented with other roots, bulbs, shoots, and seeds (Heizer 1978). Deer, mountain sheep, antelopes, rabbits, and other small rodents were among the principal food packages. Various game birds, especially quail, were also hunted. The bow and arrow were used for large game, while smaller game and birds were killed with curved throwing sticks, traps, and snares. Occasionally, game was hunted communally, often during mourning ceremonies (Benedict 1924; Drucker 1937; Heizer 1978). Earth ovens were used to cook meat, bones were boiled to extract marrow, and blood was either drunk cold or cooked to a thicker consistency and then eaten. Some meat and vegetables were sun-dried and stored. Food acquisition and processing required the manufacture of additional items such as knives, stone or bone scrapers, pottery trays and bowls, bone or horn spoons, and stirrers. Mortars, made of either stone or wood, and metates were also manufactured (Strong 1971; Drucker 1937; Benedict 1924). The Serrano were very similar technologically to the Cahuilla. In general, manufactured goods included baskets, some pottery, rabbit-skin blankets, awls, arrow straighteners, sinew- backed bows, arrows, fire drills, stone pipes, musical instruments (rattles, rasps, whistles, bull- roarers, and flutes), feathered costumes, mats for floor and wall coverings, bags, storage pouches, cordage (usually comprised of yucca fiber), and nets (Heizer 1978). Ethnohistoric Period (1769 to Present) The historic background of the project began with the Spanish colonization of Alta California. The first Spanish colonizing expedition reached southern California in 1769 with the intention of converting and civilizing the indigenous populations, as well as expanding the knowledge of and access to new resources in the region (Brigandi 1998). As a result, by the late Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–11 eighteenth century, a large portion of southern California was overseen by Mission San Luis Rey (San Diego County), Mission San Juan Capistrano (Orange County), and Mission San Gabriel (Los Angeles County), who began colonization the region and surrounding areas (Chapman 1921). Up until this time, the only known way to feasibly travel from Sonora to Alta California was by sea. In 1774, Juan Bautista de Anza, an army captain at Tubac, requested and was given permission by the governor of the Mexican State of Sonora to establish an overland route from Sonora to Monterey (Chapman 1921). In doing so, Juan Bautista de Anza passed through what is now Riverside County and described the area in writing for the first time (Caughey 1970; Chapman 1921). In 1797, Father Presidente Lausen (of Mission San Diego de Alcalá), Father Norberto de Santiago, and Corporal Pedro Lisalde (of Mission San Juan Capistrano) led an expedition through southwestern Riverside County in search of a new mission site to establish a presence between San Diego and San Juan Capistrano (Engelhardt 1921). Their efforts ultimately resulted in the establishment of Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside, California. Each mission gained power through the support of a large, subjugated Native American workforce. As the missions grew, livestock holdings increased and became more vulnerable to theft. In order to protect their interests, the southern California missions began to expand inland to try and provide additional security (Beattie and Beattie 1939; Caughey 1970). In order to meet their needs, the Spaniards embarked on a formal expedition in 1806 to find potential locations within what is now the San Bernardino Valley. As a result, by 1810, Father Francisco Dumetz of Mission San Gabriel had succeeded in establishing a religious site, or capilla, at a Cahuilla rancheria called Guachama (Beattie and Beattie 1939). San Bernardino Valley received its name from this site, which was dedicated to San Bernardino de Siena by Father Dumetz. The Guachama rancheria was located in present-day Bryn Mawr in San Bernardino County. These early colonization efforts were followed by the establishment of estancias at Puente (circa 1816) and San Bernardino (circa 1819) near Guachama (Beattie and Beattie 1939). These efforts were soon mirrored by the Spaniards from Mission San Luis Rey, who in turn established a presence in what is now Lake Elsinore, Temecula, and Murrieta (Chapman 1921). The indigenous groups who occupied these lands were recruited by missionaries, converted, and put to work in the missions (Pourade 1961). Throughout this period, the Native American populations were decimated by introduced diseases, a drastic shift in diet resulting in poor nutrition, and social conflicts due to the introduction of an entirely new social order (Cook 1976). Mexico achieved independence from Spain in 1822 and became a federal republic in 1824. As a result, both Baja and Alta California were classified as territories (Rolle 1969). Shortly thereafter, the Mexican Republic sought to grant large tracts of private land to its citizens to begin to encourage immigration to California and to establish its presence in the region. Part of the establishment of power and control included the desecularization of the missions circa 1832. These same missions were also located on some of the most fertile land in California and were considered highly valuable as a result. The resulting land grants, known as “ranchos,” covered expansive portions of California and by 1846, more than 600 land grants had been issued by the Mexican government. Rancho Jurupa was the first rancho to be established and was issued to Juan Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project Bandini in 1838. Although Bandini primarily resided in San Diego, Rancho Jurupa was located in what is now Riverside County (Pourade 1963). The treatment of Native Americans grew worse during the Rancho Period. Most of the Native Americans were forced off of their land or put to work on the now privately-owned ranchos, most often as slave labor. In light of the brutal ranchos, the degree to which Native Americans had become dependent upon the mission system is evident when, in 1838, a group of Native Americans from Mission San Luis Rey petitioned government officials in San Diego to relieve suffering at the hands of the rancheros: We have suffered incalculable losses, for some of which we are in part to be blamed for because many of us have abandoned the Mission … We plead and beseech you … to grant us a Rev. Father for this place. We have been accustomed to the Rev. Fathers and to their manner of managing the duties. We labored under their intelligent directions, and we were obedient to the Fathers according to the regulations, because we considered it as good for us. (Brigandi 1998:21) Native American culture had been disrupted to the point where they could no longer rely upon prehistoric subsistence and social patterns. Not only does this illustrate how dependent the Native Americans had become upon the missionaries, but it also indicates a marked contrast in the way the Spanish treated the Native Americans compared to the Mexican and United States ranchers. Spanish colonialism (missions) is based upon utilizing human resources while integrating them into their society. The Mexican and American ranchers did not accept Native Americans into their social order and used them specifically for the extraction of labor, resources, and profit. Rather than being incorporated, they were either subjugated or exterminated (Cook 1976). By 1846, tensions between the United States and Mexico had escalated to the point of war (Rolle 1969). In order to reach a peaceful agreement, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was put into effect in 1848, which resulted in the annexation of California to the United States. Once California opened to the United States, waves of settlers moved in searching for gold mines, business opportunities, political opportunities, religious freedom, and adventure (Rolle 1969; Caughey 1970). By 1850, California had become a state and was eventually divided into 27 separate counties. While a much larger population was now settling in California, this was primarily in the central valley, San Francisco, and the Gold Rush region of the Sierra Nevada mountain range (Rolle 1969; Caughey 1970). During this time, southern California grew at a much slower pace than northern California and was still dominated by the cattle industry established during the earlier rancho period. During the same decade, circa 1852, the Native Americans of southern Riverside County, including the Luiseño and the Cahuilla, thought they had signed a treaty resulting in their ownership of all lands from Temecula to Aguanga east to the desert, including the San Jacinto Valley and the San Gorgonio Pass. The Temecula Treaty also included food and clothing 1.0–12 Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–13 provisions for the Native Americans. However, Congress never ratified these treaties, and the promise of one large reservation was rescinded (Brigandi 1998). With the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1869, southern California saw its first major population expansion. The population boom continued circa 1874 with the completion of connections between the Southern Pacific Railroad in Sacramento to the transcontinental Central Pacific Railroad in Los Angeles (Rolle 1969; Caughey 1970). The population influx brought farmers, land speculators, and prospective developers to the region. By the late 1880s and early 1890s, there was growing discontent between San Bernardino and Riverside, its neighbor 10 miles to the south, due to differences in opinion concerning religion, morality, the Civil War, and politics, as well as fierce competition to attract settlers. After a series of instances in which charges were claimed about unfair use of tax monies to the benefit of only the city of San Bernardino, several people from Riverside decided to investigate the possibility of a new county. In May 1893, voters living within portions of San Bernardino County (to the north) and San Diego County (to the south) approved the formation of Riverside County. Early business opportunities were linked to the agriculture industry, but commerce, construction, manufacturing, transportation, and tourism also provided a healthy local economy. General History of the City of Fontana According to the City of Fontana General Plan Update 2015–2035 (City of Fontana 2018a), the history of the city is primarily divided into four periods or “contexts” identified as “The Four Fontanas.” The four periods are “Rural Pioneer Community: 1850 to 1906; Fontana Farms: 1906 to 1942; Steeltown: 1942 to 1983; and Suburban Bedroom Community: 1983 to 2006” (City of Fontana 2018a). Rural Pioneer Community: 1850 to 1906 In 1869, Andrew Jackson Pope, co-founder of the Pope & Talbot Company, a lumber dealer based out of San Francisco (Ancestry.com 2009a, 2009b; University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections 2018), purchased 3,840 acres of land in San Bernardino County as part of the Land Act of 1820. “During the ensuing years, Andrew Pope and W.C. Talbot acquired other properties in the West, chiefly in California. By 1874, they owned a real estate empire, including almost 80,000 acres of ranch lands” (World Forestry Center 2017). Pope passed away in 1878 amid water rights conflicts between grant owners (himself) and settlers of the lands surrounding his Fontana-area property. As a result of the water rights conflict, in which the United States Supreme Court sided with the grant owners, the Lytle Creek Water Company was formed in 1881. The purpose of the Lytle Creek Water Company was to: [U]nify the interests of appropriators to the stream, to fight the grant owners. These latter had the law on their side, but the settlers had the water, and were holding and using it. An injunction was issued in favor of the grant owners, restraining the settlers from using the water, but it was never enforced. The conflict was a long Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–14 and bitter one. In the meantime, the grant owners, and others operating with them, quietly bought up the stock of the Lytle Creek Water Company, until enough to control it was secured, and sold out these rights to the projectors of the Semi-tropic Land and Water Company, with the riparian lands, which movement seems to have quieted the conflict. (Hall 1888) The Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company was incorporated in 1887. That year, the company platted the settlement of Rosena, but no structures were erected. By 1888, the company had acquired “something more than twenty-eight thousand five hundred acres of land, embracing the channel of Lytle creek for ten miles” (Hall 1888). In 1903, San Bernardino contractor and agriculturist A.B. Miller and “his pioneer Fontana Development Company purchased Rosena, and by 1905 had begun the building of a farming complex that included an assortment of barns, dining rooms, a 200-man bunk house, a kitchen, a company store, as well as the ranch house used by the foreman” (Anicic 1982). Fontana Farms: 1906 to 1942 By 1906, Miller had also taken over the remainder of the Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company assets and created the Fontana Farms Company and the Fontana Land Company. Afterward, Miller oversaw the construction of an irrigation system that utilized the water from Lytle Creek, as well as the planting of “half a million eucalyptus saplings as windbreaks” (Conford 1995). In 1913, the town of Fontana was platted between Foothill Boulevard and the Santa Fe railroad tracks. Much of the land to the south of the townsite was utilized as a hog farm, while the remainder of the Fontana Farms Company land was subdivided into small farms. The smaller “starter farms” were approximately 2.5 acres and the new owner was able to choose between grapevines or walnut trees, all supplied by the Fontana Farms nursery. “By 1930 the Fontana Company had subdivided more than three thousand homesteads, half occupied by full-time settlers, some of them immigrants from Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Italy” (Conford 1995). Steeltown: 1942 to 1983 Kaiser Steel was founded in Fontana in the 1940s and became one of the main producers of steel west of the Mississippi River. The Kaiser Steel Mill was built in response to the United States government’s need for a steel mill and factory on the west coast to construct ships and airplanes following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 (Sturm et al. 1995). Following World War II, the mill shifted production to can manufacturing, tin plating, and pipe milling (Sturm et al. 1995). To provide for his workers’ health needs, Henry J. Kaiser constructed the Fontana Kaiser Permanente medical facility, which is now the largest managed care organization in the United States. The city of Fontana was incorporated on June 25, 1952, and the Kaiser Steel Mill continued to expand through the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to health care, Kaiser created Kaiser Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–15 Community Homes to address the burgeoning housing needs of post-war America. Within Fontana and neighboring Ontario, Kaiser Community Homes provided affordable residential neighborhoods and housing subdivisions to meet the steel mill workers’ housing needs (City of Fontana 2018a). “Kaiser Steel also worked with the United Steelworkers of America to develop an innovative profit-sharing plan in which labor shared in cost savings resulting from technology and labor productivity improvements” (City of Fontana 2018a). By the late 1970s, the Kaiser Steel Mill had begun to experience a massive downturn in production, which resulted in a 3,000-person layoff (Sturm et al. 1995). Kaiser and their contributions to Fontana and the nation during the mid-twentieth century can be viewed in the context of the “Post-War Building Boom of 1945–1970” (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2012). Kaiser Steel was important to the expansion of development during this period, supplying steel for the construction of buildings throughout the region and nation. However, the mill ultimately closed its doors and ceased production in 1983. In 1984, California Steel Industries (CSI) purchased the southern 380 acres of the 480-acre property and portions of the factory were reopened. A 1995 archaeological survey by LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) indicates that the property to the north that was not purchased by CSI had been demolished by Hollywood movie explosions throughout the 1980s (Sturm et al. 1995). In the late 1990s, construction of the California Speedway resulted in further damage to original steel mill property (McLean and Monk 1997). Suburban Bedroom Community: 1983 to 2006 With the closing of the steel mill in 1983, residential development became the primary driving factor for economic growth in the Fontana (City of Fontana 2018b). Between 1980 and 1987, Fontana’s population doubled from 35,000 to 70,000, assisted by the Fontana Redevelopment Agency, who provided incentives for housing developers to build within the city (City of Fontana 2018b; Conford 1995). Residential development continued to grow through the 1990s; however, commercial activities in the downtown area declined as new commercial developments near freeways and the new residential areas pulled shopping away from the historic downtown core (City of Fontana 2018b). More recently, the city has since become a transportation hub for trucking due to the number of highways that intersect in the area (Anicic 2005; City of Fontana 2018a). 1.4 Results of the Archaeological Records Search The results of the SCCIC records search (Appendix B) identified 36 resources within a one-mile radius of the project, all of which are historic. A portion of one of the historic resources (Site SBR-4131H) is recorded within the subject property. Site SBR-4131H consists of the historic Kaiser Steel Mill. However, it appears the boundary for Site SBR-4131H was loosely drawn, and although in proximity of the original location of the Kaiser Steel Mill, the project does not appear to have ever contained any elements of the resource. Detailed information about the resource is provided below, and descriptions of all resources identified during the records search are presented Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–16 in Table 1.4−1. • Site SBR-4131H was originally recorded as a Point of Historical Interest in 1975 by Hansberger (1975). As noted in Section 1.3, the Kaiser Steel Mill was created by Henry J. Kaiser as part of the Kaiser Steel Corporation and originally opened in 1942 (Owen 1995). In 1980, the Kaiser Steel Mill was designated SBR-4131H and recorded by Teal (1980) with the San Bernardino County Museum. During the 1970s, steel production in the United States slowed, and the Kaiser Steel Mill closed the following decade in 1983 (Owen 1995). In 1997, LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) conducted a survey and evaluated portions of the former Kaiser Steel Mill in order to “prepare CEQA level clearance for the demolition of the Kaiser West End property” (McClean et al. 1997). During their survey, LSA identified and documented six historic features associated with the Kaiser Steel Mill, none of which were located on the subject property. Owens (1995) notes: Most of what remains of the former steel mill today is limited to partially or totally demolished concrete structures, remnants of masonry and ceramic brick coke ovens, asphalt roadways, railways, and piles of rubble. California Steel Industries maintains facilities on a portion of the original Kaiser property. Although Kaiser Resources Inc., has an extensive collection of documents and photographs that cover much of the steel mill’s history, they have few material objects from the facility itself. Current uses for the site have included its use as a background in over 70 motion pictures. During the construction of the California Speedway to the north of the subject property, portions of the original Kaiser Steel Mill were evaluated as ineligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1995 (Sturm et al. 1995; Owens 1995). Likewise, the plant’s slag pond area was also evaluated as ineligible for the NRHP in 1995 (Owens 1995). Additionally, the following decade, CRM Tech determined in an update to Site SBR 4131H: all major components of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, including the 155- mm shell plant recorded in 1997, have been demolished to make way for the conversion of the property into the California Speedway in the 1990s. For all practical purposes, therefore, Site 36-004131 no longer exists today. (Ballester 2008) At present, the Kaiser Steel Mill is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) as a Point of Historical Interest and is listed in the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD).

The SCCIC records search results also identified 23 previous studies within one mile of the project, one of which overlaps the subject property (Owens 1995). The Owens (1995) study was a large-scale overview for the San Savaine Redevelopment Project that did not directly address the subject property. Nevertheless, Owens (1995) discussed in depth the evaluation history of the Kaiser Steel Mill and the resource’s importance to Fontana history. Owens (1995) noted that previous evaluations, which designated the steel mill as ineligible for the NRHP, were possibly skewed by not evaluating the site as a whole. Nevertheless, Owens (1995) concludes: [W]hile the Kaiser Steel Plant is an important cultural resource for the time period, associations, and accomplishments it represents, sites such as these, which contain hazardous wastes, and dangerous and dilapidated equipment and structures, pose an unwanted health threat and eye sore to the community. This particular site is perhaps better preserved through documentation or through the creation of a Kaiser memorial collection displayed at a museum or other appropriate facility within the County. Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–18 BFSA also reviewed the following sources to facilitate a better understanding of the historic use of the property: •The NRHP Index •The OHP, Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility •The OHP, BERD •Bureau of Land Management (BLM) General Land Office (GLO) Records •The 1896, 1898, 1901, and 1942 San Bernardino (15-minute) series topographic maps •The 1943, 1953 and 1967 Fontana (7.5-minute) series topographic maps •Historic aerial photographs (1933 to 2025) A review of historic aerial photographs and topographic maps demonstrates that although the subject property has been recorded as part of the Kaiser Steel Mill, the project does not appear to have ever contained any elements of the resource. The 1933 and 1938 historic aerial photographs illustrate that the entire project previously consisted of agricultural fields. The Kaiser Steel Mill originally opened in 1942, and historic aerial photographs from 1948 show the facility in operation to the north of the project. Nevertheless, the subject property was not part of the steel mill. Rather, the 1948 aerial photograph depicts the property as a gravel pit, and it is listed as such on the (7.5- minute) topographic maps. Based on the aerial photographs, it appears the gravel pit ceased operation by 1966. The 1977 and 1985 historic aerial photographs illustrate the subject property as vacant. By 1994, the southeast corner of the property appears to have been utilized as a staging or storage area, with this use expanding throughout the entire property by 2002. At present, the property appears to primarily be utilized for the storage of precast concrete infrastructure materials tied to Jensen Infrastructure, which operates a production facility directly to the north. The review of historic aerial photographs demonstrates that no features of the Kaiser Steel Mill have ever been present within the subject property. 1.4.1 Sacred Lands File Search BFSA also requested a SLF search from the NAHC. The NAHC SLF search results are negative for the presence of any recorded Native American sacred sites or locations of religious or ceremonial importance within one mile of the project. This request is not part of any Assembly Bill (AB) 52 Native American consultation. Additional outreach will be conducted during AB 52 consultation. All correspondence is in Appendix C. 1.5 Applicable Regulations Resource importance is assigned to districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess exceptional value or quality illustrating or interpreting the heritage of San Bernardino County in history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. A number of criteria are used in demonstrating resource importance. Criteria outlined in CEQA provide guidance for making such a determination. The following sections detail the criteria that a resource must meet Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–19 in order to be determined important. 1.5.1 California Environmental Quality Act According to CEQA (§ 15064.5a), the term “historical resource” includes the following: 1) A resource listed in or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission for listing in the CRHR (Public Resources Code SS5024.1, Title 14 CCR. Section 4850 et seq.). 2) A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant. 3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript, which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the CRHR (Public Resources Code SS5024.1, Title 14, Section 4852) including the following: a) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage; b) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; c) 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 d) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. 4) The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined eligible for listing in the CRHR, not included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to Section 5020.1[k] of the Public Resources Code), or identified in an historical resources survey (meeting the criteria in Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(j) or 5024.1. Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–20 According to CEQA (§ 15064.5b), a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect upon the environment. CEQA defines a substantial adverse change as: 1) Substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource means physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of an historical resource would be materially impaired. 2) The significance of an historical resource is materially impaired when a project: a) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for inclusion in the CRHR; or b) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics that account for its inclusion in a local register of historical resources pursuant to Section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or its identification in an historical resources survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, unless the public agency reviewing the effects of the project establishes by a preponderance of evidence that the resource is not historically or culturally significant; or, c) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its eligibility for inclusion in the CRHR as determined by a lead agency for purposes of CEQA. Section 15064.5(c) of CEQA applies to effects upon archaeological sites and contains the following additional provisions regarding archaeological sites: 1) When a project impacts an archaeological site, a lead agency shall first determine whether the site is an historical resource, as defined in subsection (a). 2) If a lead agency determines that the archaeological site is an historical resource, it shall refer to the provisions of Section 21084.1 of the Public Resources Code, Section 15126.4 of the guidelines, and the limits contained in Section 21083.2 of the Public Resources Code do not apply. 3) If an archaeological site does not meet the criteria defined in subsection (a) but does meet the definition of a unique archaeological resource in Section 21083.2 of the Public Resources Code, the site shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 21083.2. The time and cost limitations described in Public Resources Code Section 21083.2 (c-f) do not apply to surveys and site evaluation activities intended to determine whether the project location contains unique archaeological resources. Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 1.0–21 4) If an archaeological resource is neither a unique archaeological nor historical resource, the effects of the project upon those resources shall not be considered a significant effect upon the environment. It shall be sufficient that both the resource and the effect on it are noted in the Initial Study or Environmental Impact Report, if one is prepared to address impacts upon other resources, but they need not be considered further in the CEQA process. Sections 15064.5(d) and 15064.5(e) contain additional provisions regarding human remains. Regarding Native American human remains, paragraph (d) states: (d) When an Initial Study identifies the existence of, or the probable likelihood of, Native American human remains within the project, a lead agency shall work with the appropriate Native Americans as identified by the NAHC as provided in Public Resources Code SS5097.98. The applicant may develop an agreement for treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any items associated with Native American burials with the appropriate Native Americans as identified by the NAHC. Action implementing such an agreement is exempt from: 1) The general prohibition on disinterring, disturbing, or removing human remains from any location other than a dedicated cemetery (Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5). 2) The requirements of CEQA and the Coastal Act. Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 2.0–1 2.0 RESEARCH DESIGN The primary goal of the research design is to attempt to understand the way in which humans have used the land and resources within the project through time, as well as to aid in the determination of resource significance. For the current project, the study area under investigation is the city of Fontana in the southwest portion of San Bernardino County. The scope of work for the cultural resources study conducted for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project included a survey of the 9.49-acre study area (APN 0234-061-04). Given the area involved and the presence of archaeological sites within the project vicinity, the research design for this project was focused upon realistic study options. Since the main objective of the investigation was to identify the presence of and potential impacts to cultural resources, the goal was not necessarily to answer wide-reaching theories regarding the development of early southern California, but to investigate the role and importance of identified resources. Nevertheless, an assessment of the significance of a resource must take into consideration a variety of factors, as well as the ability of a resource to address regional research topics and issues. Although elementary resource evaluation programs are limited in terms of the amount of information available, several specific research questions were developed that could be used to guide an initial investigation of any observed cultural resources. The following research questions consider the small size and location of the project discussed above. Research Questions: • Can located cultural resources be associated with a specific time period, population, or individual? • Do the types of any located cultural resources allow a site activity/function to be determined from a preliminary investigation? What are the site activities? What is the site function? What resources were exploited? • How do located sites compare to others reported from different surveys conducted in the area? • How do located sites fit existing models of settlement and subsistence for mountainous environments of the region? Data Needs At the survey level, the principal research objective is a generalized investigation of changing settlement patterns in both the prehistoric and historic periods within the study area. The overall goal is to understand settlement and resource procurement patterns of the project occupants. Therefore, adequate information on site function, context, and chronology from an archaeological perspective is essential for the investigation. The fieldwork and archival research were undertaken with the following primary research goals in mind: Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 2.0–2 1) To identify cultural resources occurring within the project; 2) To determine, if possible, site type and function, context of the resource(s), and chronological placement of each cultural resource identified; 3) To place each cultural resource identified within a regional perspective; and 4) To provide recommendations for the treatment of each cultural resource identified. Cultural Resources Study for the Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 3.0–1 3.0 ANALYSIS OF PROJECT EFFECTS The cultural resources study of the project consisted of an institutional records search, archival research, an intensive cultural resource survey of the entire 9.49-acre study area, and the preparation of this technical report. This study was conducted in conformance with City of Fontana environmental requirements, Section 21083.2 of the California Public Resources Code, and CEQA. Statutory requirements of CEQA (Section 15064.5) were followed for the identification and evaluation of resources. Specific definitions for archaeological resource type(s) used in this report are those established by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO 1995). 3.1 Survey Methods The survey methodology employed during the current investigation followed standard archaeological field procedures and was sufficient to accomplish a thorough assessment of the entire project. The field methodology employed for the project included walking evenly spaced survey transects set approximately 15 to 20 meters apart while visually inspecting the ground surface. All potentially sensitive areas where cultural resources might be located were closely inspected. Photographs documenting survey areas and overall survey conditions were frequently taken. 3.2 Results of the Field Survey Principal Investigator Tracy A. Stropes, M.A., RPA, directed the archaeological survey of the project with assistance from BFSA archaeologist Mary Chitjian on August 5, 2025. The archaeological study included an intensive reconnaissance survey, consisting of a series of transects conducted across the entire project. The survey found the property currently being utilized for the storage of precast concrete infrastructure materials, trailers, and other associated equipment (Plates 3.2–1 to 3.2–4). Ground visibility was hindered at times by the materials stored in the project; however, it is clear the subject property has been previously graded. Between areas of stored materials, maintained dirt access roads traverse throughout the property, and open areas are either covered in concrete or gravel. Vegetation within the property is comprised of non-native weeds and grasses and maintained commercial landscaping. The survey did not identify any cultural resources within the subject property. Additionally, although the Kaiser Steel Mill (Site SBR-4131H) was previously mapped by the SCCIC as including the property, no features of the mill were identified within the project. Further, it appears that no elements of the resource have ever been present on the property.

Cultural Resources Study for Almond Avenue Trailer Yard Project 4.0–1 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed development of the property will not adversely impact any cultural resources. No cultural resources were identified during the survey. Although the records search identified Site SBR-4131H within the property, a review of historic aerial photographs demonstrates that the project was historically used for agriculture and as a gravel pit before its current use as a storage yard. As no features associated with the Kaiser Steel Mill were identified during the review of historic sources or the pedestrian survey, the project does not appear to have ever contained any elements of Site SBR-4131H. Further, the survey determined that the subject property has been previously impacted through its use as a gravel pit, as well as cleared and graded. This characterization of the property as disturbed is relevant to the consideration of cultural resources being present within the project. Given the previous ground-disturbing activites and the survey results, there is little to no potential for archaeological resources to be encountered by the proposed project. As such, archaeological monitoring of grading is not recommended based upon the findings of this cultural resources assessment.
