RE: Native American Tribal Consultation, Pursuant to the Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), Amendments to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Chapter 532, Statutes of 2014), Public Resources Code Sections 5097:94 (m), 21073, 21074, 21080.3.1; 21080.3.2, 21082.3, 21083.09, 21084.2 and 21084.3, I-10/Cherry Valley Interchange Improvement Project, Riverside County Dear Ms. George:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1 (c), attached is a consultation list of tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the above -listed project. Please note that the intent of the AB 52 amendments to CEQA is to avoid and/or mitigate i mpacts to tribal cultural resources, (Pub. Resources Code §21084.3 (a)) ("Public agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource.")
Public Resources Code sections 21080.3.1 and 21084.3(c) require CEQA lead agencies to consult with California Native American tribes that have requested notice from such agencies of proposed projects in the geographic area that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the tribes on projects for which a Notice of Preparation or Notice of Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration has been filed on or after July 1, 2015. Specifically, Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1 (d) provides:
Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section.
The AB 52 amendments to CEQA law does not preclude initiating consultation with the tribes that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction prior to receiving requests for notification of projects in the tribe's areas of traditional and cultural affiliation. The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) recommends, but does not require, early consultation as a best practice to ensure that lead agencies receive sufficient information about cultural resources in a project area to avoid damaging effects to tribal cultural resources.
The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that agencies should also include with their notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been completed on the area of potential effect (APE), such as:
1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to:
Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 554 731
Chapter 4 • Comments and Coordination
Item 9.
• A listing of any and all known cultural resources that have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites;
• Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response:
• Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate, or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE, and
• If a survey Is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.
2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including • Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.
All Information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Cade section 6254_10. 3 The result of any Sacred Lands File (SLF) check conducted through the NAHC was negative. 4 Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the APE, and 5, Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the APE.
Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NA HC and CHRIS are not exhaustive and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.
This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event that they do, having the information beforehand will help to facilitate the consultation process 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 consultation list remains current.
If you have any questions, please contact me at my email address [email protected] Sincerely,

Subject: Updated list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list ldentifiesthreatened, endangered, and proposed species, designated crirical habitat, and candidate species that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or m ay be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as am ended (16 U.S.C. 1531 etseq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current inform ati on or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat, Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations im plementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days, This verification can be completed form ally Dr int ormally as desired. The Service recomm ends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the eotlosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of tfie Attend its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 etseq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may aff ect threatened and endangered species andlar designated critical habitat.

A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical Imparts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar in a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment am described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat inay he affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with die Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at;
hitp://wwwfws.gov/endarigered/esa-libraryiptlf/TOC-GLOS,PDF Please he aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan
( http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/eagle_guidance.html) . Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines ( http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at:

Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Improvement Project The City of Calimesa (City), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Cahrans) and the County of Riverside (County), is proposing to upgrade and reconfigure the existing 1-10/ Cherry Valley Boulevard interchange From Post Mile (PM) R2.1 to R3.8. -A Itemative 3 — Diverging Diamond
This alternative would reconstruct the current interchange into a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) and realign Calimesa Boulevard (refer to Figure 4A. Proposed Improvements —Alternative 3). 'This interchange configuration crosses each direction of traffic to the opposite side, optimizing left -turn movements and reducing conflict points. This alternative would utilize two separate overcrossing structures tor each direction of Cherry Valley Boulevard.
Cherry Valley Boulevard would be widened to two lanes in each direction within [he Project limits. Sidewalks would be provided along Cherry Valley Boulevard to allow pedestrian access along the corridor. Right -turn pockets would be provided approaching the westbound on -ramp and eastbound on -ramp. These right turn pockets would include a bicycle buffer and bypass the Cherry Valley Boulevard crossovers. Channelized turning would also be added on Cherry Valley Boulevard to connect to Calimesa Boulevard, which would have a signalized stop control at Calimesa Boulevard turning onto Cherry Valley Boulevard. All on- and off -ramps at the interchange would be realigned and reconstructed to multilane ramps. The entry ramps in both directions will accommodate California Highway Patrol (CHP) enforcement areas and ramp metering that reduce to a single lane entering the freeway. An auxiliary lane would be added to the eastbound off -ramp and westbound on -ramp to provide additional storage.
-Alternative 4 — Partial Cloverleaf:
This alternative would reconstruct the current interchange into a partial cloverleaf configuration and realign Calimesa Boulevard (refer to Figure 4B, Proposed Improvements — Alternative d). The proposed westbound loop on -ramp would serve eastbound vehicles on Cherry Valley Boulevard and a proposed westbound direct on -ramp would provide a Free -flow movement for westbound vehicles on Cherry Valley Boulevard.

The eastbound ramps would be widened and maintain their current tight diamond configuration.
Cherry Valley Boulevard would be widened to two lanes in each direction with sidewalk in the eastbound direction. The I-16/Cherry Valley Boulevard OC would be reconstructed to accommodate two through lanes in each direction, channelized left -rum lanes, and sidewalks. Hight -turn pockets would he pmvided approaching the westbound on -ramp and eastbound on -ramp. Channelized turning would also be added on Cherry Valley Boulevard to connect to Calimesa Boulevard, which would have a signalized stop control at Calimesa Boulevard turning onto Cherry Valley Boulevard. The westbound loop on- and off -ramps would be maligned and reconstructed to intersect adjacent to Cali mesa Boulevard creating a signalized intersection. The proposed westbound direct on -ramp and eastbound on- and alf-ramps would be realigned and widened to multi lane ramps. The entry ramps in both directions will accommodate CJ-IP enforcement areas and ramp metering that reduce to a single lane entering the freeway. An auxlllary lane would be added to the eastbound off -ramp and westbound on -ramp to provide additional storage.

Project Description (dentin describe project)
The Pitt' of Catim.sa (City), in cotsperaticm with the California Department of Transportation (C'altrans) and the County of Riverside (County). is proposing to upgrade and reconfigure the existing 1-10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange (project) from Past Mile (PM) R2.1 to R3.8. The 1-IO/C,heny Valley Boulevard interchange is located on I-10 between Singleton Road and Oak Valley Parkway (See Figures 1 and 2). The I-1OICherry Valley Boulevard interchange is a major access pomp for existile and propised residential and commercial development. The existing configuration is n diamaria interchange, with stop control at the ramp termini The on- and off - ramps al the interchinige consist of one Irate. Within the project area. Cherry Valley Boulevard is a two-lane roadway with a pooled speed limit of 35 miles per hour west ot'the interchange and a posted speed limit of 55 mites per hour east ot'the. interchange. Per the City of Calimrsa's General Pia_ Cherry Valley Boulevard is classified as a Major Anerial. The Cherry Valley Boulevard Overcrossi (OC) (PM 83.05. Bridge Number 56 4491) is a four -span, concrete -girder bridge conatrueted in 1985 and iw approximata[y 273 feet (ors 4) feet wide. and crosses six lanes of traffic over l -lit. Reconligurang the interchange would improve traffic operations and relieve congestion associated with c:tisting and planned development anticipated in the City of Colin dui and surrounding areas.
Alternative 1— No -Build Lander this alternative, no recornstructicn or improvements would be made to the existing 1-10/ Cherry Valley Boulevard interchange. other than routine roadway maintenance and the cinr::nl relocation of Roberts Road width along Cherry Valley Boulevard. resulting in a signalized intersectitnn_ by another project. This alternative does not address the purpose and need of the proposed project.
Alternative 3 —Diverging Diamond, Depicted in Figure 3, this alternative would reconstruct the current interchange into a diverging diamond interchan (DUI) and Yea ligrtC'alimesa BOLA evard, This interchange ermtiguratiom crox.es each direction of traffic to the opposite side, optimifrng left -turn movements and reducing conflict points. This alternative would utilioe two separate en•ercrossing structures for each direction of Cherry Valley Boulevard.
Cherry Valley Boulevard would Iw widened to two lanes in each direction within the project dim its. Sidewalks would he provided along Cherry Valley Boulevard to allow pedestrian access along the corridor. Right -hum pockets would he provided approaching the westbound on -ramp and eastbound on -ramp. These right turn pockets would include a bicycle buffer and bypass the Chem Valley Boulevard crossovers. Channelized turning would also be added on Cherry Valley Boulevard to connect to Calitnesa Boulevard, which would have a signalized stop control at Calimesa Boulevard tuming onto Cherry Valley Boulevard. All on- and oft -ramps at the interchange would he realigned and reconstructed to multilane ramps. The entry ramps in bath directions wi Il accommodate California Highway Patrol (C. HP) enforcement areas and ramp memring that reduce m a single lane entering, the freeway. An atutiIiary lane wou[d be added to the eastbound oft -ramp and westbound on -ramp to provide additional storage.
Alternative 4 — Partial Cloverleaf. Deputed in Figure 4. this attsmative would reconstruct the current interchange into a partial cloverleaf configuration and realign C'alimesa Boulevard. The proposed westbound loop nn -ramp would serve eastbound vehicles on Cherry Valley Boulevard and a praptned westbound direct on -ramp would pr V ide a free -flow movement far westbound vehicles on Cherry Valley Boulevard. The eastbound ramps would be widened and maintain their current light diamond contiguratinn.
Cherry Valley Boulevard would be widened to two lanes in each direction with sidewalk in the eastbound direction The I-10/Cherry Valley Boulevard OC would be recnnsuucted to accommodate two through lanes in each direction chit nnelized left -turn lanes_ and sidewalks. Right-birn pockets would he provided approaching the westbound on -ramp and eastbound on -ramp. Channel Moil turning would also he added on Cherry Volley Boulevard to connect to Calimesa Boulevard, which would have a signalized stag control at Calvnesa Boulevard turning onto Cherry Valley Boulevard. The westbound loop on- and aff•raraps would be realigned and reernatnieted to intersect adjacent to Calitnesa Boulevard creating a signalized intersection The proposed westbound dime' on -ramp and eastbound on - and off -romps would be realigned and widened to multilane ramps. The entry ramps in both directions will accommodate CS -1? enforcement areas and ramp metering that reduce to a single lane entering the freeway. An auxiliary lane would be added Da the eastbound o[I romp and westbound on -tamp to provide additional storage.

Appendix A Resources Evaluated Relative
to the Requirements of
Section 4(f): No -Use
Determination
Introduction
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, codified in federal law at 49 United States Code (USC) 303, declares that "it is the policy of the United States Government that special effort should be made to preserve the natural beauty of the countryside and public park and recreation lands, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic sites." This section of the document discusses parks, recreational facilities, wildlife refuges, and historic properties found within or next to the project area that do not trigger Section 4(f) protection because: 1) they are not publicly owned, 2) they are not open to the public, 3) they are not eligible historic properties, or 4) the project does not permanently use the property and does not hinder the preservation of the property. Refer to Figure A-1, Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f).
Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f) As noted above, Section 4(f) requires an analysis of potential project impacts to parks, recreational facilities, wildlife refuges, and historic properties that qualify as resources protected under Section 4(f).
There are no publicly owned wildlife and waterfowl refuges within 0.5 -mile of the project site.
The study area for National Register listed and eligible resources was defined as the Area of Potential Effects (APE) delineated in the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) (May 2021); Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) (May 2021); and Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) (May 2021).
These documents determined there are no National Register listed or eligible cultural resources in the APE for the proposed project. Therefore, there are no National Register listed or eligible cultural resources that would trigger the requirements for protection under Section 4(f), and no further discussion of such resources required.
The following is a list of publicly -owned parks and recreation resources within
0.5 -mile of the project site. These resources include a range of recreational paths/trails, parks, and a golf club that includes recreational facilities. The locations of those resources are shown on Figure A-1, Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f).

Appendix A • Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f): No -Use Determination Item 9.
Resources Not Subject to the Provisions of Section 4(f) City of Calimesa Trails
Based on the City of Calimesa's CommunityView Geographical Information System (GIS) website
( http://maps.digitalmapcentral.com/production/VECommunityView/cities/calim esa/index.aspx#), which provides an interactive map of the City's land use and zoning designations, location of trails and trailheads, among other things, multiple trails occur within 0.5 -mile of the project site; refer to Figure A-1.
Trails located within 0.5 -mile of the project site:
• Osborne Spine Trail
• Box Canyon Trail
• Posey's Road
• Beef Canyon
• Hobo's Loop
• Brown Ridge
• Roberts Street
• Existing trail within Southern California Edison (SCE) power utility easement • Singleton/Bryant Connector
• PASEO Trails
According to email communication with City of Calimesa staff, of the 10 trails listed above, the following 8 trails are located on private property:14 • Osborne Spine Trail
• Box Canyon Trail
• Posey's Road
• Beef Canyon
• Hobo's Loop
• Brown Ridge
• Roberts Street
• Existing trail within SCE easement
As such, these eight trails are not Section 4(f) properties and the provisions of Section 4(f) do not apply.

Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 608 785
Appendix A • Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f): No -Use Determination Item 9.
The Singleton/Bryant Connector and PASEO trails are discussed below under Section A.2.2, Resources Subject to the Provisions of Section 4(f) - No Use.
City of Calimesa Bicycle Routes
Bicycle facilities are planned along Roberts Road and Palmer Avenue within the southern portion of the project boundaries, prior to project implementation, refer to Figure A-1. However, based on email communication with City staff, the proposed bicycle facilities would be on -street, striped, Class II bike lanes.
Because Class II bike lanes are on -street facilities that share the roadway with vehicles, they are considered transportation facilities opposed to Class I bicycle facilities, which are separate from vehicles and can be used as multi- use trail systems. These Class II facilities are not anticipated to have a primary function that supports recreation. Accordingly, the bicycle facilities are not Section 4(f) properties and the provisions of Section 4(f) do not apply.
Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon
The Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon is located approximately 0.3 -mile south of the project site at 36211 Champions Drive, Beaumont. The facility offers two 18 -hole courses (the Champions Course and Legends Course), a restaurant and bar called, "The Clubhouse," and banquet facilities for private events. A parking lot is provided near the northeast portion of the golf club.
Morongo Golf Club Tukwet Canyon is privately owned. Accordingly, the proposed recreational facility is not a Section 4(f) property and the provisions of Section 4(f) do not apply.
Plantation by the Lake
The Plantation by the Lake is a senior mobile home community located within a half mile of the eastern portion of the project site at 10961 Desert Lawn Drive. The facility includes the following amenities:
Clubhouse: The 5,000 square foot clubhouse provides residents with a community office, restaurant kitchen, pool tables and card room, swimming pool, spa, library with fireplace, and hobby room complete with ceramic kiln.
Recreation Center: The 8,500 square foot recreation center includes a restaurant kitchen, fireside lounge, swimming pool, spa, fitness room, and dining hall with 700 -person seating capacity.
Open Space: The facility provides a lake, pond, and stream with walking paths, and picnic tables.
Vineyard and Orchard: The vineyard and orchard at the facility provide residents with seasonal fruit such as grapes, peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, figs, persimmons, pears, oranges, lemons and pomegranates.

A photograph of the recreational facility is included within the City's Open Space, Parks, and Recreation Element of the General Plan as an example of open space resources within the City. However, based on email communication with City staff, the Plantation by the Lake recreational facilities are located on private property and are not open to the public.15 Accordingly, the property is not a Section 4(f) property and the provisions of Section 4(f) do not apply.
Resources Subject to the Provisions of Section 4(f) - No Use Singleton/Bryant Connector Trail
Based on the City of Calimesa's CommunityView GIS website, the Singleton/Bryant Connector trail is located approximately 0.3 -mile northeast of the project site. Within the project area, the trail is generally a dirt/gravel shoulder, with the exception of sidewalk provided along the northern side of the 1-10/Singleton interchange. The trail begins approximately 355 feet west of the eastbound 1-10 on -ramp along Singleton Road and continues east until turning southeast along Beckwith Avenue or continuing northeast along Singleton Road; refer to Figure A-1. The trail is open to the public and is considered a Section 4(f) property subject to the provisions of Section 4(f).
The Build Alternative's facilities and construction activities would not encroach onto the trail facility. Thus, there would be no permanent incorporation or temporary occupancy of the trail as a result of the Build Alternatives.
In addition, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse constructive use effects (i.e., "proximity" impacts), that would substantially impair the activities, features, and/or attributes that qualify this facility for protection under Section 4(f). This conclusion is based on the following:
• Access: Singleton/Bryant Connector trail can be accessed via multiple roadways surrounding the facility (Woodhouse Road/Roberts Road, Singleton Road, 1-10, Calimesa Boulevard, etc.). The Build Alternatives would not include any temporary or permanent improvements or activities that would have the capacity to alter or impede access to the trail facility with implementation of a Transportation Management Plan (TMP). Access to this facility would be maintained throughout the duration of construction, and the TMP would be implemented during the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) phase. The Caltrans TMP Guidelines identify the processes, roles, and responsibilities for preparing and implementing TMPs, as well as useful strategies for reducing congestion and managing work zone circulation and access. One of the primary objectives of the TMP is to maintain safe movement and access for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists through the construction zone.

Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 610 787
Appendix A • Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f): No -Use Determination Item 9.
• Visual/Aesthetics: The Build Alternatives would not include any features that would be tall enough to be visible from the trail, or that would substantively alter views from the trail given the existing rolling topography. Additionally, the houses and mature trees that surround portions of the trail do not allow views towards the I-10/Cherry Valley Boulevard interchange. Thus, the Build Alternatives would not result in adverse proximity effects to the Singleton/Bryant Connector trail.
• Water Quality: The Build Alternatives would not have the potential to adversely affect water quality at the trail facility. No storm water drainage or runoff from the project site would encroach or enter onto the trail, and adverse proximity impacts would not occur under the Build Alternatives. • Air Quality: As noted in Section 2.2.6, Air Quality, of this IS/EA, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse effects on surrounding uses related to short-term construction or long-term operational pollutant emissions, upon adherence to Caltrans' Standard Specifications intended to reduce equipment emissions and fugitive dust. Thus, the Build Alternatives would not have adverse proximity effects related to air quality on the Singleton/Bryant Connector trail.
• Noise: As described in Section 2.2.7, Noise, of this IS/EA, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse effects on surrounding uses related to short-term construction or long-term operational noise, upon adherence to Caltrans' Standard Specifications and recommended abatement measures. Additionally, intervening structures, rolling terrain, and mature trees would serve as a buffer between trail users and the project site. Thus, the Build Alternatives would have minimal proximity effects related to noise on the Singleton/Bryant Connector trail. • Biological Environment: Within the project area, the Singleton/Bryant Connector trail is primarily dirt/gravel with sidewalk along the 1-10/Singleton interchange overcrossing. The trail appears to be maintained. Given the lack of natural habitat and level of human activity/disturbance on a daily basis, it is not anticipated that any sensitive natural communities or species exist.
However, there would be no project construction within or immediately adjacent to the trail, and no disturbance of any vegetation associated with the trail would occur. In addition, as noted above, the Build Alternatives are not expected to result in adverse effects related to air quality or noise, that could otherwise result in proximity effects to biological resources at the facility.
The property is a Section 4(f) property, but no "use" will occur. Therefore, the provisions of Section 4(f) do not apply.
PASEO Trails
A portion of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Area 1 is located on -site, west of Roberts Road within the western portion of the project site. Recreational facilities shown within the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 611 788
Appendix A • Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f): No -Use Determination Item 9.
Valley Specific Plan Area 1 on the Land Use Map include parks, trails, and community recreation uses, as well as open space, and schools. Based on email communication with the City on August 7, 2019, Phase 1 of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Area 1 is currently under construction and includes construction of the proposed PASEO trails.
PASEO trails are asphalt/concrete residential trail connectors. Based on the City of Calimesa's CommunityView GIS website, the PASEO trails are located within the western portion of the project site, approximately 0.15 -mile west of the 1-10 along Roberts Road, Cherry Valley Boulevard, and Palmer Avenue; refer to Figure A-1. The trails are open to the public and are considered Section 4(f) properties, subject to the provisions of Section 4(f).
The Build Alternative's facilities and construction activities would not encroach onto the trail facilities. Thus, there would be no permanent incorporation or temporary occupancy of the trails as a result of the Build Alternatives.
In addition, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse constructive use effects (i.e., "proximity" impacts), that would substantially impair the activities, features, and/or attributes that qualify these facilities for protection under Section 4(f). This conclusion is based on the following:
• Access: The PASEO trails can be accessed via multiple roadways surrounding the facility (Cherry Valley Boulevard, Palmer Avenue, Desert Lawn Drive, Roberts Road, etc.). The Build Alternatives would not include any temporary or permanent improvements or activities that would have the capacity to alter or impede access to the trail facility with implementation of a TMP. A TMP would be implemented that would maintain safe movement and access for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists through the construction zone.
• Visual/Aesthetics: The Build Alternatives would not include any features that would be tall enough to be visible from the trail, or that would substantively alter views from the trail given the existing rolling topography. Additionally, the residential uses currently under construction that surround portions of the trail facilities will further impede views towards the I-10/Cherry Valley Boulevard interchange. Thus, the Build Alternatives would not result in adverse proximity effects to the PASEO trails.
• Water Quality: The Build Alternatives would not have the potential to adversely affect water quality at the trail facilities. No storm water drainage or runoff from the project site would encroach or enter onto the PASEO trails, and adverse proximity impacts would not occur under the Build Alternatives.
• Air Quality: As noted in Section 2.2.6, Air Quality, of this IS/EA, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse effects on surrounding uses related to short-term construction or long-term operational pollutant emissions, upon adherence to Caltrans' Standard Specifications intended to Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 612 789

• Noise: As described in Section 2.2.7, Noise, of this IS/EA, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse effects on surrounding uses related to short-term construction or long-term operational noise, upon adherence to Caltrans' Standard Specifications and recommended abatement measures. Additionally, intervening structures would serve as a buffer between trail users and the project site.

No disturbance of any vegetation associated with the trail would occur. In addition, as noted above, the Build Alternatives are not expected to result in adverse effects related to air quality or noise, that could otherwise result in proximity effects to biological resources at the PASEO trails.
The PASEO trails are Section 4(f) properties, but no "use" will occur.
Therefore, the provisions of Section 4(f) do not apply.
Trevino Park
Trevino Park and associated parking lot are located approximately 0.25 -mile southwest of the project site at 11286 Tukwet Canyon Parkway, Beaumont.
Based on the City of Beaumont website
( http://beaumontca.gov/facilities/facility/details/Trevino-Park-18) , the Trevino Park amenities include a baseball diamond, playground equipment, two basketball courts, picnic benches, barbeques, and a grass field. Sidewalk occurs along the outer boundary and bisects the central portion of the park.
The parking lot provides 38 parking spots and three Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking spots. The facility is owned and operated by the City of Beaumont and is open to the public. Thus, it is considered a Section 4(f) property and is subject to the provisions Section 4(f).
The Build Alternative's facilities and construction activities would not encroach into Trevino Park. Thus, there would be no permanent incorporation or temporary occupancy of the park as a result of the Build Alternatives.
In addition, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse constructive use effects (i.e., "proximity" impacts), that would substantially impair the activities, features, and/or attributes that qualify this facility for protection under Section 4(f). This conclusion is based on the following:
• Access: Trevino Park and the associated parking lot can be accessed via multiple roadways surrounding the facility (Desert Lawn Drive, Palmer Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 613 790
Appendix A • Resources Evaluated Relative to the Requirements of Section 4(f): No -Use Determination Item 9.
Avenue, and Champions Drive all connect to Cherry Valley Boulevard). The Build Alternatives would not include any temporary or permanent improvements or activities that would have the capacity to alter or impede access to the park or affect parking associated with the facility with implementation of a TMP. A TMP would be implemented that would maintain safe movement and access for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists through the construction zone.
• Visual/Aesthetics: The Build Alternatives would not include any features that would be tall enough to be visible from the park, or that would substantively alter views from the park given the rolling topography and intervening structures. Between the park and the project site, residential properties are currently being developed. Additionally, the current topography of the land does not afford views of the I-10/Cherry Valley Boulevard interchange. Thus, the Build Alternatives would not result in adverse proximity effects to Trevino Park.
• Water Quality: The Build Alternatives would not have the potential to adversely affect water quality at the park. No storm water drainage or runoff from the project site would encroach or enter Trevino Park, and adverse proximity impacts would not occur under the Build Alternatives. • Air Quality: As noted in Section 2.2.6, Air Quality, of this IS/EA, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse effects on surrounding uses related to short-term construction or long-term operational pollutant emissions, upon adherence to Caltrans' Standard Specifications intended to reduce equipment emissions and fugitive dust. Thus, the Build Alternatives would have minimal proximity effects related to air quality on Trevino Park. • Noise: As described in Section 2.2.7, Noise, of this IS/EA, the Build Alternatives would have minimal adverse effects on surrounding uses related to short-term construction or long-term operational noise, upon adherence to Caltrans' Standard Specifications and recommended abatement measures. Additionally, intervening structures and rolling topography would serve as a buffer between park users and the project site.
Thus, the Build Alternatives would have minimal proximity effects related to noise on Trevino Park.
• Biological Environment: Trevino Park is routinely maintained, and on -site vegetation consists primarily of turf and ornamental landscaping. Given the lack of natural habitat and level of human activity/disturbance on a daily basis, it is not anticipated that any sensitive natural communities or species exist. However, there would be no project construction within or immediately adjacent to the park, and no disturbance of any vegetation associated with the park would occur. In addition, as noted above, the Build Alternatives are not expected to result in adverse effects related to air quality or noise, that could otherwise result in proximity effects to biological resources at the facility.

California Department of Transportation Relocation Assistance Program
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE ADVISORY SERVICES
DECLARATION OF POLICY
"The purpose of this title is to establish a uniform policy for fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced as a result of federal and federally assisted programs in order that such persons shall not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs designed for the benefit of the public as a whole." The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states, "No Person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." The Uniform Act sets forth in statute the due process that must be followed in Real Property acquisitions involving federal funds. Supplementing the Uniform Act is the government -wide single rule for all agencies to follow, set forth in 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 24. Displaced individuals, families, businesses, farms, and nonprofit organizations may be eligible for relocation advisory services and financial benefits, as discussed below.
FAIR HOUSING
The Fair Housing Law (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) sets forth the policy of the U.S. to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing.
This act, and as amended, makes discriminatory practices in the purchase and rental of most residential units illegal. Whenever possible, minority persons shall be given reasonable opportunities to relocate to any available housing regardless of neighborhood, as long as the replacement dwellings are decent, safe, and sanitary and are within their financial means. This policy, however, does not require the Department to provide a person a larger payment than is necessary to enable a person to relocate to a comparable replacement dwelling.
Any persons to be displaced will be assigned to a relocation advisor, who will work closely with each displacee in order to see that all payments and benefits are fully utilized and that all regulations are observed, thereby avoiding the possibility of displacees jeopardizing or forfeiting any of their benefits or payments. At the time of the initiation of negotiations (usually the first written offer to purchase), owner -occupants are given a detailed explanation of the state's relocation services. Tenant occupants of properties Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 617 794
Appendix C • Summary of Relocation Benefits and Right -of -Way Acquisition Item 9.
to be acquired are contacted soon after the initiation of negotiations and also are given a detailed explanation of the Caltrans Relocation Assistance Program. To avoid loss of possible benefits, no individual, family, business, farm, or nonprofit organization should commit to purchase or rent a replacement property without first contacting a Department relocation advisor.
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE ADVISORY SERVICES
In accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, the Department will provide relocation advisory assistance to any person, business, farm, or nonprofit organization displaced as a result of the acquisition of real property for public use, so long as they are legally present in the U.S. The Department will assist eligible displacees in obtaining comparable replacement housing by providing current and continuing information on the availability and prices of both houses for sale and rental units that are "decent, safe, and sanitary." Nonresidential displacees will receive information on comparable properties for lease or purchase (for business, farm, and nonprofit organization relocation services, see below).
Residential replacement dwellings will be in a location generally not less desirable than the displacement neighborhood at prices or rents within the financial ability of the individuals and families displaced and reasonably accessible to their places of employment. Before any displacement occurs, comparable replacement dwellings will be offered to displacees that are open to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin and consistent with the requirements of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
This assistance will also include the supplying of information concerning federal and state -assisted housing programs and any other known services being offered by public and private agencies in the area.
Persons who are eligible for relocation payments and who are legally occupying the property required for the project will not be asked to move without first being given at least 90 days written notice. Residential occupants eligible for relocation payment(s) will not be required to move unless at least one comparable "decent, safe, and sanitary" replacement dwelling, available on the market, is offered to them by the Department.
RESIDENTIAL RELOCATION FINANCIAL BENEFITS
The Relocation Assistance Program will help eligible residential occupants by paying certain costs and expenses. These costs are limited to those necessary for or incidental to the purchase or rental of a replacement dwelling and actual reasonable moving expenses to a new location within 50 miles of the displacement property. Any actual moving costs in excess of the 50 miles are the responsibility of the displacee. The Residential Relocation Assistance Program can be summarized as follows:
Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 618 795
Appendix C • Summary of Relocation Benefits and Right -of -Way Acquisition Item 9.
Moving Costs
Any displaced person, who lawfully occupied the acquired property, regardless of the length of occupancy in the property acquired, will be eligible for reimbursement of moving costs. Displacees will receive either the actual reasonable costs involved in moving themselves and personal property up to a maximum of 50 miles or a fixed payment based on a fixed moving cost schedule. Lawful occupants who move into the displacement property after the initiation of negotiations must wait until the Department obtains control of the property in order to be eligible for relocation payments.
Purchase Differential
In addition to moving and related expense payments, fully eligible homeowners may be entitled to payments for increased costs of replacement housing.
Homeowners who have owned and occupied their property for 90 days or more prior to the date of the initiation of negotiations (usually the first written offer to purchase the property) may qualify to receive a price differential payment and may qualify to receive reimbursement for certain nonrecurring costs incidental to the purchase of the replacement property. An interest differential payment is also available if the interest rate for the loan on the replacement dwelling is higher than the loan rate on the displacement dwelling, subject to certain limitations on reimbursement based upon the replacement property interest rate.
Rent Differential
Tenants and certain owner -occupants (based on length of ownership) who have occupied the property to be acquired by the Department prior to the date of the initiation of negotiations may qualify to receive a rent differential payment. This payment is made when the Department determines that the cost to rent a comparable "decent, safe, and sanitary" replacement dwelling will be more than the present rent of the displacement dwelling. As an alternative, the tenant may qualify for a down payment benefit designed to assist in the purchase of a replacement property and the payment of certain costs incidental to the purchase, subject to certain limitations noted under the Down Payment section below. To receive any relocation benefits, the displaced person must buy or rent and occupy a "decent, safe and sanitary" replacement dwelling within one year from the date the Department takes legal possession of the property or from the date the displacee vacates the displacement property, whichever is later.
Down Payment
The down payment option has been designed to aid owner -occupants of less than 90 days and tenants in legal occupancy prior to the Department's Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 619 796
Appendix C • Summary of Relocation Benefits and Right -of -Way Acquisition Item 9.
initiation of negotiations. The one-year eligibility period in which to purchase and occupy a "decent, safe and sanitary" replacement dwelling will apply.
Last Resort Housing
Federal regulations (49 Code of Federal Regulations 24) contain the policy and procedure for implementing the Last Resort Housing Program on Federal -aid projects. Last Resort Housing benefits are, except for the amounts of payments and the methods in making them, the same as those benefits for standard residential relocation as explained above. Last Resort Housing has been designed primarily to cover situations where a displacee cannot be relocated because of lack of available comparable replacement housing, or when the anticipated replacement housing payments exceed the limits of the standard relocation procedure, because either the displacee lacks the financial ability or other valid circumstances.
After the initiation of negotiations, the Department will, within a reasonable length of time, personally contact the displacees to gather important information, including the following:
• Number of people to be displaced.
• Specific arrangements needed to accommodate any family member(s) with special needs.
• Financial ability to relocate into comparable replacement dwelling which will adequately house all members of the family.
• Preferences in area of relocation.
• Location of employment or school.
NONRESIDENTIAL RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
The Nonresidential Relocation Assistance Program provides assistance to businesses, farms, and nonprofit organizations in locating suitable replacement property and reimbursement for certain costs involved in relocation. The Relocation Advisory Assistance Program will provide current lists of properties offered for sale or rent, suitable for a particular business's specific relocation needs. The types of payments available to eligible businesses, farms, and nonprofit organizations are: searching and moving expenses, and possibly reestablishment expenses; or a fixed in lieu payment instead of any moving, searching, and reestablishment expenses. The payment types can be summarized as follows:
Moving Expenses
Moving expenses may include the following actual, reasonable costs:
Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 620 797
Appendix C • Summary of Relocation Benefits and Right -of -Way Acquisition Item 9.
• The moving of inventory, machinery, equipment, and similar business - related property, including: dismantling, disconnecting, crating, packing, loading, insuring, transporting, unloading, unpacking, and reconnecting of personal property. Items identified as real property may not be moved under the Relocation Assistance Program. If the displacee buys an Item Pertaining to the Realty back at salvage value, the cost to move that item is borne by the displacee.
• Loss of tangible personal property provides payment for actual, direct loss of personal property that the owner is permitted not to move. • Expenses related to searching for a new business site, up to $2,500, for reasonable expenses actually incurred.
Reestablishment Expenses
Reestablishment expenses related to the operation of the business at the new location, up to $25,000 for reasonable expenses actually incurred.
Fixed In Lieu Payment
A fixed payment in lieu of moving, searching, and reestablishment payments may be available to businesses that meet certain eligibility requirements. This payment is an amount equal to half the average annual net earnings for the last two taxable years prior to the relocation and may not be less than $1,000 nor more than $40,000.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Reimbursement for moving costs and replacement housing payments are not considered income for the purpose of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 or for the purpose of determining the extent of eligibility of a displacee for assistance under the Social Security Act or any other law, except for any federal law providing local "Section 8" Housing Programs.
Any person, business, farm, or nonprofit organization that has been refused a relocation payment by the Department relocation advisor or believes that the payment(s) offered by the agency are inadequate may appeal for a special hearing of the complaint. No legal assistance is required. Information about the appeal procedure is available from the relocation advisor.
California law allows for the payment for lost goodwill that arises from the displacement for a public project. A list of ineligible expenses can be obtained from the Department's Division of Right of Way and Land Surveys.
California's law and the federal regulations covering relocation assistance provide that no payment shall be duplicated by other payments being made by the displacing agency.

Paleontology
PAL -1 Prior to the start of construction, all field
personnel shall be briefed during a Worker's
Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) regarding
the types of fossils that could be found in the project area and the procedures to follow shall paleontological
resources be encountered. This training shall be
accomplished first at the preconstruction kick-off meeting by a Principal Paleontologist who meets the Caltrans
qualifications standards or his/her qualified and
supervised representative. The training shall be developed by the Principal Paleontologist and may be conducted
concurrently with other environmental training (e.g.,
biological, cultural, and natural resources awareness
training, safety training, etc.).
Specifically, the training will provide brochure handouts with descriptions of the fossil resources that may be
encountered in the project area, outline steps to follow in the event that a fossil discovery is made, and provide
contact information for the Principal Paleontologist and on -site paleontological monitor(s). A project -specific sign -in sheet will be utilized to illustrate that all
construction personnel have completed the WEAP
training prior to the start of construction for CEQA
compliance. Extra sign -in sheets and brochures would be left with the construction contractor for distribution and WEAP training of future construction personnel as they
are added to the project. If possible, the original WEAP training should be recorded on video for future use as
additional construction personnel are added to the project.

mitigation measures based on the assigned sensitivity
rankings as well as the proposed depths of ground
disturbance throughout the project area, as surface and near -surface geologic units are well documented while
geologic units at greater depths remain undocumented.
Depending on the proposed project's excavation depths,
the type of monitoring shall be one of the following:
• For areas categorized as High Potential: Full-
time monitoring shall be required for disturbance
at all depths in selected areas with intact
sediments. In subareas of High Potential,
monitoring efforts shall be reduced or eliminated
at the discretion of the Principal
Paleontologist if no fossil resources are
encountered after 50 percent of the
excavations are completed.
• For areas categorized as Low Potential: Spot-
check monitoring is recommended for
disturbance in particular areas at four feet or
greater below group surface (bgs) in intact
sediments. If High Potential geologic units
are encountered at depth in those particular
locations during spot-check monitoring,
those subareas shall be elevated to High
Potential and monitoring shall be upgraded
to full-time.
Monitoring shall not be required for excavations less than four feet bgs in subareas with Low Potential or within any subareas with artificial fill. Although monitoring is not typically required in subareas of Low Potential, spot-
check monitoring shall be implemented at the discretion of the Principal Paleontologist to confirm the presence of subsurface High Potential geologic units. In particular, deeper excavations of approximately 12 to 25 feet bgs for items such as bridge abutments, bent footings, and
overhead sign foundations shall be spot-checked, as these construction activities may impact High Potential
geologic units at depth.
All monitoring shall include the visual inspection of
excavated or graded areas, trench sidewalls, spoils, and any other disturbed sediment. In the event that a
paleontological resource is discovered, either the
Principal Paleontologist or approved on -site
paleontological monitor shall have the authority to
temporarily divert the construction equipment around the find until it is assessed for scientific significance and collected. Additionally, test samples of sediments from Interstate 10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange Project • 642 819

Paleontology
PAL -3 If fossils are encountered during construction
monitoring, significant fossils shall be collected and

Following laboratory work, all fossil specimens shall be identified to the lowest taxonomic level, cataloged,
analyzed, and prepared for curation. Assuming
landowners concur and will sign a Deed of Gift Form,
fossil specimens shall be submitted for permanent
curation in a museum repository approved by Caltrans.
The cost of curation is assessed by the repository and is the responsibility of the landowners. At the conclusion of laboratory work and curation, the paleontological
contractor shall prepare a final report to describe the results of the paleontological monitoring. The report shall include an overview of the project area geology and
paleontology, a description of the field and laboratory methods, a list of taxa recovered (if any), an analysis of fossils recovered (if any) and their scientific significance, and recommendations. If fossils will be donated for
permanent curation, a copy of the report shall be
submitted to the curation institution along with the fossil assemblage.

EPA as lead concentrations greater than 5 milligrams/liter (mg/L), were detected in three samples along I-10.
However, extractable lead concentrations (Deionized
Water Waste Extraction Test [DI -WET]) were detected
below 1.5 mg/L. As a result, soils in the area of these samples may be reused on -site if buried under a pavement structure or under at least one foot of clean soil. If
excavated and removed, ADL contaminated soil shall be
hauled to a Class I landfill and categorized as hazardous waste (i.e. Type Z2). DTSC shall be notified of the
STLC/CA-WET soluble lead concentration exceedances.
As some of the soil contains minimal amounts of lead,
workers that perform either manual excavation shall

• A reasonable and conforming use of the property
justifies the removal of trees.
• No other permit for removal of an oak tree on
the same property has been issued within the prior one- year period.
• The retention or relocation of the tree prevents
reasonable use of the property on which it is located and, if required, the applicant has applied for any related
discretionary or ministerial permits for the proposed use of property or that the tree has been determined to be
damaged or diseased by a licensed arborist, as
documented in a report to be reviewed and approved by
the Community Development Department.

Target areas include the trees along the proposed grading limits, where bats may roost, and in the surrounding open habitats where they may forage. Bats may utilize cavities within the trees, spaces behind loose bark or dense
foliage, or cracks or splits in the trees for roosting, and these areas should be examined closely for roosting
activity during the day. Bat roosting opportunities inside cracks in the Cherry Valley Boulevard overcrossing over Interstate 10 (I-10) are limited due to the continual
disturbance from traffic above and below; however, this area shall be examined for roosting activity during the day. Surveys in any open fields should begin at dusk.
Equipment will include an AnaBat Detector or other bat
detecting unit for ease. Any bats found to be roosting
during the pre -construction survey shall be safely evicted using exclusionary measures under the direction of the
qualified bat specialist and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
