Subject: Section 106 Consultation for the Brownfields Clean-up at 716 W. Kearney Boulevard in Fresno, California
Dear Mr. Olokode:
The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) is in receipt of a consultation letter dated April 28, 2026, from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 for the above referenced undertaking. The EPA is continuing consultation with the SHPO to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and its implementing regulation at 36 CFR 800. The EPA is providing additional information regarding the vertical limits of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) and is requesting SHPO concurrence on the APE, on a determination of eligibility made for the airplane hangar at the Chandler Executive Airport (716 W. Kearney Blvd), and on its finding of no historic properties affected.
The EPA initiated consultation with the SHPO for this undertaking on March 12, 2026, and requested SHPO concurrence on the Area of Potential Effects (APE), on a determination of eligibility made for the airplane hangar at 716 W. Kearney Blvd, and on its finding of no historic properties affected. The SHPO responded on April 16, 2026, and requested additional information regarding the vertical limits of the APE.
In October 2025, the EPA awarded a Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) grant to the City of Fresno (City). The subject property at 716 W. Kearney Boulevard was designated by the City to receive a portion of the grant money for abatement of hazardous materials and excavation of lead-impacted soils. EPA’s Brownfields grants are designed to assist communities assess, clean up and revitalize sites that are contaminated or are suspected of being contaminated with hazardous substances.
Project activities within the APE would include:
• Site preparation by establishing security fencing, drop boxes, decontamination areas, appropriate containment, barrier, and air-filtration systems and other work area preparations as necessary.

• Abating known asbestos-containing materials (ACM) from the subject property hangar building.
• Disposing of waste at an appropriately licensed landfill under applicable waste manifests at a facility that can receive ACM and lead-based paint impacted building materials.
• Excavation and offsite disposal of an estimated 140 cubic yards of lead-impacted soils.
• Backfill of the excavation footprint back to existing grade with structural fill. • Removal of temporary fencing and general subject property cleanup.
The proposed APE consists of the building footprint of the extant hangar at 716 W.
Kearney Boulevard within a portion of APN 646-220-43T. The APE encompasses approximately 3.34 acres and is bound by a paved airplane parking area to the north, a hangar to the east, Airport Road to the south, and a paved parking area to the west.
The paved parking areas surrounding the hangar would be utilized for ingress and egress to perform the work. The APE extends to a maximum of 3 feet below ground surface.
On October 13, 2025, the City’s consultant (Stantec) requested a record search at the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center (SSJVIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS). Additional identification efforts included a built environment field survey, a search of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) at the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and outreach to other consulting parties. The potential for encountering buried cultural deposits is low and due to the high levels of previous disturbance from industrial development, the APE is not considered sensitive to intact archaeological cultural resources or buried deposits. As such, the City did not deem it necessary to prepare an archaeological pedestrian survey or evaluation of archaeological resources within the APE.
On January 13, 2026, the EPA sent letters to request input from two local organizations (the Fresno County Historical Society and the Fresno County Historical Museum) and six tribes (Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, Kitanemuk & Yowlumne Tejon Indians, Northern Valley Yokut/Ohlone Tribe, Table Mountain Rancheria, Tule River Indian Tribe, and Wuksachi Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band) identified by the NAHC that might have an interest in the project. The EPA did not receive any comments from these organizations or tribes.
The report prepared by Stantec included an evaluation of the airplane hangar at the Chandler Executive Airport located at 716 W. Kearney Boulevard in Fresno and determined that this hangar is not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under any criteria:
• Criterion A – Event: The hangar, constructed in 1948, is one of twenty-six buildings at Chandler Executive Airport in Fresno. The construction of the hangar was not significantly associated with any identified post-war development trends Mike Olokode EPA_2026_0317_001
May 1, 2026
in the City of Fresno or Fresno County. Therefore, the hangar is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion A.
• Criterion B – Person: The hangar is not closely associated with any person significant in local, state, or national, history. Therefore, the hangar is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion B.
• Criterion C – Design/Construction: The hangar does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. The hangar was constructed in the Utilitarian architectural style. The building utilizes common construction methods and materials and is not a significant example of hangar construction or architecture. Therefore, the hangar is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C. • Criterion D – Information Potential: The hangar is unlikely to reveal significant new information that informs the study of history or pre-history. Therefore, the hangar is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion D.
The EPA has reviewed the evaluation prepared by the City’s consultant and agrees with the recommendation that the airplane hangar at 716 W. Kearney Boulevard is not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP.
As a result of its identification efforts, no historic properties were identified within the APE. Therefore, the EPA has reached a finding of no historic properties affected pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.4(d)(1).
The EPA has requested SHPO concurrence on the APE, on the determination of eligibility made for one built environment property, and on its finding of effect. Following review of the submittal, I offer the following comments:
• Pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.4(a)(1), I have no comments on the EPA’s APE. • Pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.4(c)(2), the EPA has determined that the airplane hangar at 716 W. Kearney Boulevard is not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP under any criteria. I concur.
• Pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.4(d)(1), the EPA has made a finding of no historic properties affected. I do not object.
Be advised that under certain circumstances, such as an unexpected discovery or a change in project description, the EPA may have additional future responsibilities for this undertaking under 36 CFR 800. If you require further information, please contact Robert Fitzgerald, Associate State Archaeologist, at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Julianne Polanco
State Historic Preservation Officer
