1.1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) prepared this Biological Resources Technical Report (BTR) for the proposed FMC Willow and Grand Park Project (proposed project) in the City of Newark, Alameda County, California (City). The proposed project is within the Bayside Newark Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan area, formerly known as the Dumbarton TOD Specific Plan area (City of Newark 2010). A Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the Specific Plan (RBF 2011a) and certified by the City (State Clearinghouse No. 2010042012), and the Specific Plan was adopted. For most parcels within the Specific Plan area (including the project site), the evaluation conducted for the EIR was programmatic. As specified in the EIR, project-specific studies and documents consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) are required for processing individual projects under the Specific Plan.
This BTR has been prepared in support of the proposed project’s processing under CEQA. The purposes of the BTR are: (1) to document the environmental setting and existing biological conditions in the project site; (2) to evaluate the potential for any special-status plant or animal species or sensitive habitats to be present in or immediately adjacent to the project site and thereby be affected by the proposed project; (3) to quantify impacts to aquatic resources; (4) to document the relationship of the biological resources in the project site to applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations; and (5) to describe measures to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate potential impacts to all protected biological resources in compliance with the Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (MMRP) adopted as part of the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR (RBF 2011b).
1.2 PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed project site is located within the City of Newark in southwestern Alameda County, northwest of the intersection of Willow Street and Enterprise Drive (Appendix A, Figure 1). The proposed FMC Willow and Grand Park project would be located on the following six Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs): 092-0100-013, 092-0100-014, 537-0852-028, 537-0852-029, 537-0852-030, and 537- 0852-031. The majority of the proposed project site is located in Sections 2 and 11 of Township 5 South, and Range 2 West of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute “Newark” quadrangle map (quad).
The western portion of the site is unsectioned (unsurveyed). The approximate center of the project site is at latitude 37.5215, longitude -122.0538, NAD 83. Figure 2 in Appendix A is an aerial photograph of the project site and the associated properties.
1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.3.1 Project Characteristics
The proposed project would redevelop the 22.1-acre site into a 370-unit multi-family community including a mixed-use area of 4,000 square feet (sf) of retail and 90 affordable units (plus 1 manager unit), a 5-acre community park (Grand Park), and a 1,485-sf community building, along with approximately 1.8 acres set aside for a future transit station (including 0.1 acre of area for water quality management and 0.6 acre for public roads). The proposed residential land uses on-site would range from medium density residential (14-30 dwelling units/acre) to high density residential (25-60 dwelling Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 2 units/acre). The project would also provide a 20-foot-wide trail corridor containing a 12-foot-wide multipurpose trail that would transect the Grand Park and run along Enterprise Drive to Willow Street. It is anticipated that the proposed trail would be eligible to be part of the regional San Francisco Bay Trail, a bicycle and pedestrian trail that will eventually allow continuous travel around the shoreline of San Francisco Bay.
The Hetch Hetchy ROW is a 100-foot-wide corridor that transects the project site. Approximately 7 acres of the project site lies north of the Hetch Hetchy ROW, and approximately 15 acres of the project site lies south of the Hetch Hetchy ROW. No development would occur within the Hetch Hetchy ROW.
Additional proposed site improvements include the following: on- and off-street parking, open space and common areas, drive aisles, underground utilities, Low Impact Development (LID) drainage and water quality treatment structures, lighting, sidewalks, and landscaping. Figure 3 in Appendix A shows detailed site plans.
1.3.2 Schedule and Phasing
The project would be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 would consist of the construction of PA1, PA2, PA3, 66 DU in PA4, and the community building (4,000 sf of retail, 344 residential DU, and 1,485 sf community building). Construction of Phase 1 would commence in April 2022 and be completed in approximately 30 months (September 2024). Phase 2 would consist of the remaining 26 DU in PA4 and the Grand Park. Construction of Phase 2 would commence with grading as early as August 2022 and is anticipated to be complete by December 2024 but could be completed as early as October 2024 (27 months). Phase 2 construction activities would overlap the Phase 1 construction activities.
2.0 REGULATORY SETTING
Policies, regulations, and plans pertaining to the protection of biological resources in the project site and vicinity are summarized in the following sections.
2.1 FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1.1 Federal Endangered Species Act
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) enforces the provisions stipulated in the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (FESA, 16 USC Section 1531 et seq.). Species identified as threatened or endangered (50 CFR Section 17.11, and 17.12) are protected from take, which is defined as direct or indirect harm, unless a Section 10 permit is granted to an entity other than a federal agency or a Biological Opinion with incidental take provisions is rendered to a federal lead agency via a Section 7 consultation. Pursuant to the requirements of the FESA, an agency reviewing a proposed project within its jurisdiction must determine whether any federally-listed species may be present on the project site and determine whether the proposed project will have a potentially significant impact on them. Under the FESA, habitat loss is considered to be an impact to a species. In addition, the USFWS is required to determine whether the project is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any species that is proposed for listing under the FESA or to result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat proposed to be designated for such species (16 USC 1536[3], [4]). Therefore, project related impacts to those species or their habitats would be considered significant and would require mitigation.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 3 Other federal agencies designate species of concern (species that have the potential to become listed), that are evaluated during environmental review although they are not otherwise protected under the FESA. Impacts to those species or their habitats would likewise be considered significant and would require mitigation.
2.1.2 Migratory Bird Treaty Act
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 established federal responsibilities for the protection of nearly all species of birds, their eggs, and nests. The Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act of 2004 further defined species protected under the act and excluded all non-native species. Section 16 U.S.C. 703–712 of the Act states “unless and except as permitted by regulations, it shall be unlawful at any time, by any means or in any manner, to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture, or kill” a migratory bird. A migratory bird is any species or family of birds that live, reproduce or migrate within or across international borders at some point during their annual life cycle. Currently, there are 836 migratory birds protected nationwide by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, of which 58 are legal to hunt.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit (with jurisdiction over California) has ruled that the MBTA does not prohibit incidental take (952 F 2d 297 – Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, 1991).
2.2 STATE REQUIREMENTS
2.2.1 California Endangered Species Act
The CESA (California Fish and Game Code Sections 2050 to 2097) is similar to the FESA. The California Fish and Game Commission is responsible for maintaining lists of threatened and endangered species under the CESA. CESA prohibits the take of listed and candidate (petitioned to be listed) species. “Take” under California law means to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch capture, or kill (California Fish and Game Code Section 86). The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) can authorize take of a state-listed species under Section 2081 of the California Fish and Game Code if the take is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity, the impacts are minimized and fully mitigated, funding is ensured to implement and monitor mitigation measures, and CDFW determines that issuance would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. A CESA permit must be obtained if a project will result in the take of listed species, either during construction or over the life of the project. For species listed under both the FESA and the CESA requiring a Biological Opinion under Section 7 of the FESA, CDFW may also authorize impacts to CESA species by issuing a Consistency Determination under Section 2080.1 of the Fish and Game Code.
2.2.2 California Code of Regulations and California Fish and Game Code The official listing of endangered and threatened animals and plants is contained in the California Code of Regulations Title 14 §670.5. A state candidate species is one that the California Fish and Game Code has formally noticed as being under review by CDFW for inclusion on the state list pursuant to Sections 2074.2 and 2075.5 of the California Fish and Game Code.
Legal protection is also provided for wildlife species in California that are identified as “fully protected animals.” These species are protected under Sections 3511 (birds), 4700 (mammals), 5050 (reptiles and amphibians), and 5515 (fishes) of the California Fish and Game Code. These statutes prohibit take or possession of fully protected species at any time. The CDFW is unable to authorize incidental take of fully protected species when activities are proposed in areas inhabited by these species. The CDFW has Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 4 informed non-federal agencies and private parties that they must avoid take of any fully protected species. However, Senate Bill 618 (2011) allows the CDFW to issue permits authorizing the incidental take of fully protected species under the CESA, so long as any such take authorization is issued in conjunction with the approval of a Natural Community Conservation Plan that covers the fully protected species (California Fish and Game Code Section 2835).
2.2.3 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Under CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), lead agencies analyze whether projects would have a substantial adverse effect on a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species (Public Resources Code Section 21001(c)). These “special-status” species generally include those listed under the FESA and the CESA, and species that are not currently protected by statute or regulation, but would be considered rare, threatened, or endangered under the criteria included in the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15380. Therefore, species that are considered rare are addressed in this study regardless of whether they are afforded special protection through any other statute or regulation. The CDFW, in consultation with the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) assigns a California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) to native species according to rarity; plants with a CRPR of 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, or 3 are generally considered special-status species under CEQA.
Although threatened and endangered species are protected by specific federal and state statutes, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15380(d) provides that a species not listed on the federal or state list of protected species may be considered rare if it can be shown to meet certain specified criteria. Those criteria have been modeled after the definition in FESA and the section of the California Fish and Game Code dealing with rare or endangered plants and animals. Section 15380(d) allows a public agency to undertake a review to determine if a significant effect on species that have not yet been listed by either the USFWS or the CDFW (i.e., candidate species) would occur. Thus, CEQA provides an agency with the ability to protect a species from the potential impacts of a project until the respective government agency has an opportunity to designate the species as protected, if warranted.
2.2.4 California Native Plant Protection Act
The California Native Plant Protection Act of 1977 (California Fish and Game Code Sections 1900-1913) empowers the Fish and Game Commission to list native plant species, subspecies, or varieties as endangered or rare following a public hearing. To the extent that the location of such plants is known, CDFW must notify property owners that a listed plant is known to occur on their property. Where a property owner has been so notified by CDFW, the owner must notify CDFW at least 10 days in advance of any change in land use (other than changing from one agricultural use to another), in order that CDFW may salvage listed plants that would otherwise be destroyed. Currently, 64 taxa of native plants have been listed as rare under the act.
2.2.5 Nesting Birds
California Fish and Game Code Subsections 3503 and 3800 prohibit the possession, take, or needless destruction of birds, their nests, and eggs, and the salvage of dead nongame birds. California Fish and Game Code Subsection 3503.5 protects all birds in the orders of Falconiformes and Strigiformes (birds of prey). Fish and Game Code Subsection 3513 states that it is unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird as designated in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or any part of such migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 5 the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The Attorney General of California has released an opinion that the Fish and Game Code prohibits incidental take.
2.3 LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
2.3.1 Bayside Newark Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan The proposed project is within the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan area. A Final EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2010042012) has been prepared and certified, and the Specific Plan has been adopted. For most parcels within the Specific Plan area (including the proposed project site), the evaluation conducted for the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR was programmatic. That EIR requires project-specific studies and documentation to be completed for subsequent development in the Specific Plan area consistent with the requirements of CEQA. The Specific Plan EIR also contains measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate potential impacts to biological resources in its MMRP that are required to be implemented by applicants proposing future projects in the Specific Plan area.
2.3.2 Trees
The City of Newark protects trees as windbreaks essential to public health and safety. The City of Newark Municipal Code Chapter 8.16.02 requires that a permit be obtained from the Public Works Director to cut down, destroy, remove, or move trees when growing on any parcel except developed residential parcels less than ten thousand square feet in area. A tree is defined in the ordinance as any live perennial woody plant with at least one well-defined stem 6 inches or greater in diameter measured at 48 inches above grade (dbh).
2.4 JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
2.4.1 Federal Requirements
Any person, firm, or agency planning to alter or work in “waters of the U.S.,” including the discharge of dredged or fill material, must first obtain authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA; 33 USC 1344). Permits, licenses, variances, or similar authorization may also be required by other federal, state, and local statutes. Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act prohibits the obstruction or alteration of navigable waters of the U.S. without a permit from USACE (33 USC 403).
On April 21, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE published the Navigable Waters Protection Rule to define “Waters of the United States” in the Federal Register. On June 22, 2020, the Navigable Waters Protection Rule: Definition of “Waters of the United States” (NWPR) became effective in 49 states, including California, and in all US territories.
The NWPR regulates traditional navigable waters and perennial or intermittent tributary systems, and defines four categories of regulated waters including:
• The territorial seas and traditional navigable waters; • Perennial and intermittent tributaries to those waters; • Certain lakes, ponds, and impoundments; and
• Wetlands adjacent to jurisdictional waters.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 6 The NWPR also defines 12 categories of exempted aquatic resources:
• Waters not listed as WOTUS
• Groundwater
• Ephemeral features
• Diffuse stormwater run-off
• Ditches not identified as WOTUS
• Prior converted cropland (PCC)
• Artificially irrigated areas
• Artificial lakes and ponds
• Water-filled depressions incidental to mining or construction activity • Stormwater control features
• Groundwater recharge, water reuse, and wastewater recycling structures • Waste treatment systems
With non-tidal waters, in the absence of adjacent wetlands, the extent of USACE jurisdiction extends to the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) – the line on the shore established by fluctuations of water and indicated by a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in soil character, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, or the presence of litter and debris. Wetlands are defined in 33 CFR Part 328 as:
“those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.” Federal and state regulations pertaining to waters of the U.S., including wetlands, are discussed below.
Clean Water Act (33 USC 1251-1376). The CWA provides guidance for the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters.
Section 401 requires that an applicant for a federal license or permit that allows activities resulting in a discharge to waters of the U.S. must obtain a state certification that the discharge complies with other provisions of CWA. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) administers the certification program in California and may require State Water Quality Certification before other permits are issued.
Section 402 establishes a permitting system for the discharge of any pollutant (except dredged or fill material) into waters of the U.S.
Section 404 establishes a permit program administered by USACE that regulates the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S. (including wetlands). Implementing regulations by USACE are found at 33 CFR Parts 320-332. The Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines were developed by the USEPA in conjunction with USACE (40 CFR Part 230), allowing the discharge of dredged or fill material for non-water dependent uses into special aquatic sites only if there is no practicable alternative that would have less adverse impacts.
Regional Water Quality Control Board
Any action requiring a CWA Section 404 permit, or a Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 permit, must also obtain a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification. The State of California Water Quality Certification (WQC) Program was formally initiated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in 1990 Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 7 under the requirements stipulated by Section 401 of the Federal CWA. Although the Clean Water Act is a Federal law, Section 401 of the CWA recognizes that states have the primary authority and responsibility for setting water quality standards. In California, under Section 401, the State and Regional Water Boards are the authorities that certify that issuance of a federal license or permit does not violate California’s water quality standards (i.e., that they do not violate Porter-Cologne and the Water Code).
The WQC Program currently issues the WQC for discharges requiring USACE's permits for fill and dredge discharges within Waters of the United States, and now also implements the State's wetland protection and hydromodification regulation program under the Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act.
On April 2, 2019, the SWRCB adopted a State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State (Procedures), for inclusion in the forthcoming Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters and Enclosed Bays and Estuaries and Ocean Waters of California. The Procedures consist of four major elements: 1) a wetland definition; 2) a framework for determining if a feature that meets the wetland definition is a water of the state; 3) wetland delineation procedures; and 4) procedures for the submittal, review, and approval of applications for Water Quality Certifications and Waste Discharge Requirements for dredge or fill activities. The Office of Administrative Law approved the Procedures on August 28, 2019, and the Procedures became effective May 28, 2020.
Under the Procedures and the State Water Code (Water Code §13050(e)), “Waters of the State” are defined as “any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state.” Unless excluded by the Procedures, any activity that could result in discharge of dredged or fill material to Waters of the State, which includes Waters of the U.S. and non-federal Waters of the State, requires filing of an application under the Procedures.
The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Porter-Cologne Act, Water Code Section 13000 et seq.) is California’s statutory authority for the protection of water quality in conjunction with the federal CWA.
The Porter-Cologne Act requires the SWRCB and RWQCBs under the CWA to adopt and periodically update water quality control plans, or basin plans. Basin plans are plans in which beneficial uses, water quality objectives, and implementation programs are established for each of the nine regions in California. The Porter-Cologne Act also requires dischargers of pollutants or dredged or fill material to notify the RWQCBs of such activities by filing Reports of Waste Discharge and authorizes the SWRCB and RWQCBs to issue and enforce waste discharge requirements, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, Section 401 water quality certifications, or other approvals.
2.4.2 California Department of Fish and Wildlife
The CDFW is a trustee agency that has jurisdiction under Section 1600 et seq. of the California Fish and Game Code. Under Sections 1602 and 1603, a private party must notify CDFW if a proposed project will “substantially divert or obstruct the natural flow or substantially change the bed, channel, or bank of streambeds…except when the department has been notified pursuant to Section 1601.” Additionally, CDFW asserts jurisdiction over native riparian habitat adjacent to aquatic features, including native trees over four inches in diameter at breast height (DBH). If an existing fish or wildlife resource may be substantially adversely affected by the activity, CDFW may propose reasonable measures that will allow protection of those resources. If these measures are agreeable to the parties involved, they may enter into an agreement with CDFW identifying the approved activities and associated mitigation measures.
Generally, CDFW recommends submitting an application for a Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 8 for any work done within the lateral limit of water flow or the edge of riparian vegetation, whichever is greater.
3.0 STUDY METHODS
Studies conducted in preparation of this BTR included a desktop evaluation and background research to identify special-status species and other biological resources (e.g., wetlands) with the potential to occur on the project site or be impacted by the proposed project as well as biological field surveys to document baseline conditions and special-status species and/or their habitats present on the site. These methods are presented in the following sections.
3.1 SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES EVALUATION
For the purposes of this BTR, special-status species are those that fall into one or more of the following categories:
• Listed as endangered or threatened under the FESA, including candidate species and species proposed for listing;
• Listed as endangered or threatened under the CESA, including candidate species and species proposed for listing;
• Designated as a Species of Special Concern (SSC) or watch-list (WL) species by the CDFW, or “Fully Protected” under the California Fish and Game Code (FP); • Designated as California Rare Plant Rank 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, or 3.
The most current available lists of special-status species known to occur and/or having the potential to occur in the project region were reviewed to determine those species’ potential to occur on the project site or otherwise be affected by project activities. The following databases were queried, and the results are included in Appendix B:
• The San Francisco Bay – Delta Fish and Wildlife Office list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in the project site and/or may be affected by the project (USFWS 2021); • The California Native Plant Society list of special-status plants documented in the “Hayward, Dublin, Redwood Point, Newark, Niles, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Milpitas, and Newark ” quads (CNPS 2021); and
• The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) list of special-status species documented in the “Hayward, Dublin, Redwood Point, Newark, Niles, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Milpitas, and Newark ” quads (CDFW 2021).
Appendix C presents the general habitat requirements, status, the potential for the species to occur; and rationale for each species evaluated. Species determined to have no potential to occur on the project site or be otherwise affected by activities on the site were excluded from further evaluation. Species having potential to occur on the project site and/or be affected by site activities are evaluated in detail in Chapter 5 of this BTR.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 9 3.2 BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS
Biological surveys conducted at the project site for this BTR by HELIX consisted of biological reconnaissance surveys, two seasons of protocol-level burrowing owl surveys, a tree inventory, and a special-status plant survey. The study area for these surveys included the Hetch Hetchy ROW. In addition, a wetland delineation was conducted for the project site and vicinity by WRA, Inc. These surveys are described in the following sections and summarized in Table 1 below.
3.2.1 Biological Reconnaissance
Biological reconnaissance surveys were conducted on April 4, 2019, February 28 and June 3, 2020, and April 26, 2021 to verify current site conditions. The surveys included a pedestrian reconnaissance of the entire project site, mapping of habitats and land covers, and a comprehensive list of all plant and animal species observed or detected. Although not protocol level surveys, biological reconnaissance surveys included a search for target plant and animal species, including burrowing owl and rare plants. Species lists were updated during subsequent site visits described below. A list of plant and animal species observed during all site visits is provided in Appendix D.

3.2.2 Focused Botanical Surveys
HELIX biologists conducted focused botanical surveys on April 4, May 23, and June 18, 2019. They surveyed the entire project site on foot, documenting all plant species present. These dates span the blooming seasons of all regionally-occurring special-status plant species returned in database queries and reported in Appendix B.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 10 3.2.3 Burrowing Owl
HELIX biologists conducted a protocol-level survey for burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) in 2019 according to CDFW (2012) guidelines. The survey included a burrowing owl habitat assessment on April 4, 2019, and subsequent visits on May 2, 2019, May 23, 2019 and June 18, 2019. Protocol burrowing owl surveys were repeated in 2020 on February 28th and May 13th. The site was assessed for presence of suitable burrows and foraging habitat, abundance of prey, and sign of burrowing owl occupancy. Suitable burrows are holes or crevices greater than 3-inches diameter and are typically located on a mound or gentle slope, or near a post or other low perch. Suitable foraging habitat is open areas with sparse, low-growing vegetation that allows burrowing owls to see prey from low perches and hunt in low, horizontal flight. The most common mammal associated with burrowing owl is California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi). Signs of burrowing owl presence include pellets, bones, whitewash, and litter collected around burrow entrances and under perches. During all surveys, all mounds, posts, hummocks, banks, debris piles, and other prominent features were closely inspected for sign of burrowing owl.
3.2.4 Tree Inventory
A HELIX staff arborist conducted a tree inventory and Level 1 visual assessment of trees in the project site on April 4, 2019. The inventory included all plants in the project site that meet the definition of tree in Chapter 18.16 of the Newark municipal code (i.e., a live woody perennial with at least one stem measuring 6 inches or greater diameter at 4.5 feet above grade). The results of this survey are included in Appendix E.
3.3 JURISDICTIONAL DELINEATION OF WETLANDS AND OTHER
WATERS
WRA Environmental Consultants mapped aquatic resources on the site and surrounding area (known as FMC Central Plant) and prepared a Delineation of Potential Jurisdictional Wetlands and “Other Waters” Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act in April 2013 (WRA 2013). The results are summarized in Section 5.2.
4.0 RESULTS: ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
4.1 EXISTING LAND USE AND SETTING
The project site is a former industrial chemical plant that was active until the 1990s. Following ongoing soil remediation activities, the site is barren except for some remnant cement pads and cement and asphalt roads. At the time of the biological reconnaissance survey on April 26, 2021, remediation was ongoing in the western portion of the site. The project site is located within a former industrial area that is rapidly being converted to mixed residential uses. The project site is bound on the north by the San Mateo Transit District (SamTrans) railroad corridor and industrial development beyond, to the east by a vacant parcel planned for development, and to the south and west by residential and mixed-use development currently under construction.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 11 4.2 TOPOGRAPHY
Terrain in the project site and surrounding area has been altered by industrial development, and most existing topographic relief is the result of fill for the railroad and industrial pads, excavation of artificial basins and channels, and diking of tidelands. The project site consists of leveled industrial pads and road and railroad embankments. Terrain in the area surrounding the project site is flat. Elevations on the project site are between 9 feet and 12 feet (NGVD29) from west to east.
4.3 HYDROLOGY
The project site falls within the Plummer Creek-Frontal San Francisco Bay Estuaries watershed (HUC12 180500040702). Plummer Creek is a tidal channel 0.5-mile south of the project site that is connected to San Francisco Bay approximately 2.3 miles westward via Newark Slough. There are no waterways on the project site that directly connect to Plummer Creek or Newark Slough. Precipitation is the only source of water for the project site. Elevations are generally lowest at the west, and there is no clear pattern of drainage. According to the USGS T-sheets for this area (www.sfei.org/tsheets/), the site is outside the historic boundary of tidal marshes in San Francisco Bay.
4.4 SOILS
The study area includes two soil mapping units in two soil series (NRCS 2021): Pescadero Clay, drained; and Marvin silt loam, saline-alkali. The western side of the project site is mapped as Pescadero Clay, drained; and the eastern side of the project site is mapped as Marvin silt loam, saline-alkali (Appendix A, Figure 5). Much of the surface soil on the site has been disturbed and/or removed due to soil remediation.
4.4.1 Pescadero Clay, Drained (133)
Pescadero Clay soils are composed of 85 percent Pescadero and similar soils, and 15 percent minor components (Willows and Omni). The Pescadero clay component is characterized by poorly drained alluvial soils derived from sedimentary rock, and typically occurs on nearly level basin rims at elevations of 0 to 100 feet above mean sea level (amsl). The typical depth to a restrictive layer is more than 80 inches, and the depth to the water table is approximately 48 to 72 inches.
A typical profile of this soil is clay loam from a depth of 0 to 2 inches, clay from a depth of 2 to 30 inches, and clay loam from a depth of 30 to 60 inches. The frequency of flooding in this soil type is classified as “none” and the frequency of ponding is classified as “none.” Pescadero clay, drained and its minor components are listed as a hydric soil on basin floors and rims in Alameda County on the national hydric soils list (NRCS 2019).
4.4.2 Marvin Silt Loam, Saline-alkali (125)
Marvin silt loam soils are composed of 85 percent Marvin and similar soils and 15 percent minor components (Pescadero and Willows). The Marvin component is characterized by somewhat poorly drained alluvial soils derived from sedimentary rock, and typically occurs on stream terraces at elevations from 10 to 100 feet amsl. The typical depth to a restrictive layer is more than 80 inches, and the depth to the water table is approximately 42 to 72 inches.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 12 A typical profile of Marvin silt loam is silt loam from 0 to 4 inches; clay from 4 to 36 inches and clay loam from 36 to 60 inches. The frequency of flooding and ponding in this soil is classified as “none”. Marvin silt loam and its minor components are listed as a hydric soil on basin floors in Alameda County on the national hydric soils list (NRCS 2019).
4.5 VEGETATION COMMUNITIES AND LAND COVER
The site contains no natural biological communities. Following extensive soil remediation that included the export of contaminated soils and import of clean fill, the majority of the site is disturbed, but is vegetated by weedy species typical of the region. Soil remediation is on-going in the western portion of the site (see Photo 4 in Appendix F). Currently, the project site supports three vegetation communities/land covers: ruderal/disturbed, developed and seasonal wetland (Table 2 below). The majority of the plant species on the site are non-native (Appendix D). Refer to Appendix A, Figure 6 for the distribution of the habitat types on the site. Site photos are in Appendix F.
Table 2
EXISTING VEGETATION COMMUNITIES AND LAND COVER TYPES IN THE PROJECT SITE Vegetation Community/Land Cover Type Area (acres)
Ruderal/Disturbed 16.39
Developed 5.72
Seasonal Wetland 0.015
TOTAL 22.1
4.5.1 Ruderal/Disturbed
Ruderal/disturbed habitat occurs in areas that are heavily disturbed by past or ongoing human activities but retain a soil substrate. Ruderal/disturbed areas may be sparsely to densely vegetated, but do not support a recognizable community or species assemblage. Vegetative cover is usually herbaceous and dominated by a wide variety of weedy non-native species or a few ruderal native species. This habitat in the project site is either unvegetated post-remediation or heavily dominated by a dense cover of nonnative annual grasses, with small patches of native and non-native grasses and forbs. Portions of this habitat are still subject to on-going remediation in the western portion of the site.
Ruderal/disturbed habitat provides low-quality habitat for wildlife, typically supporting only transient individuals using the area for dispersal, because of the sparse vegetation and lack of species diversity.
Ruderal/disturbed habitat in the project site supports a large population of rodents such as Botta’s pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae) and California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi), which in turn provide a prey base and suitable burrow habitat for special-status birds of prey (burrowing owl) that could occur in the project site.
4.5.2 Developed
Developed areas in the project sited consist of areas that are graveled, paved or supported buildings with associated ornamental vegetation. Developed areas in the project site are scattered throughout the project site interspersed with ruderal/disturbed habitat. The developed areas consist of paved areas with asphalt or concrete and are either former foundations for structures that are no longer present or remediation sites. Graveled and paved roads also occur in the project site. These areas are heavily Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 13 disturbed and consist mostly of bare ground, paved surfaces and/or landscaped vegetation. Landscaped vegetation may provide habitat for wildlife such as nesting birds.
Developed habitat provides low-quality habitat for wildlife, typically supporting only transient individuals using the area for dispersal, because of the sparse vegetation and lack of species diversity.
California ground squirrels were observed burrowing in developed habitat, especially in areas paved with asphalt. Burrows in asphalt seemed to originate from cracks in the asphalt or along the margins of the asphalt. Burrows in developed habitat could provide habitat for special-status species such as burrowing owl.
4.5.3 Seasonal Wetland
There is one seasonal wetland in the project site, which occurs within a constructed ditch formed as a result of former construction activity that holds water for sufficient duration to form wetland conditions.
The seasonal wetland contains facultative (FAC) and facultative wetland (FACW) hydrophytic species such as salt grass (Distichlis spicata) and rabbit’s foot grass (Polypogon monspeliensis).
The seasonal wetland on the site provides low-quality habitat for wildlife, typically supporting only transient individuals using the area for dispersal, because of the sparse vegetation and lack of species diversity. Waterfowl and other wildlife were observed using the small wetland.
4.6 WILDLIFE
Wildlife observed on the project site were common urban species tolerant of human presence, such as California ground squirrel, black phoebe (Sayornis nigricans), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchus), Canada goose (Branta canadensis), killdeer (Charadrius vociferous), western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), and gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). Specialstatus species observed flying overhead during biological surveys include white-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus) and golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), both of which are CDFW fully protected species. Both birds were observed foraging and quickly passed over the site.
5.0 DISCUSSION: EVALUATION OF BIOLOGICAL
RESOURCES
5.1 SENSITIVE NATURAL COMMUNITIES
No upland or aquatic natural communities in the project site were identified as a sensitive or specialstatus natural community. Developed lands and ruderal/disturbed areas are not considered sensitive and have low potential to support special-status species. The seasonal wetland in the project site occurs within a constructed ditch resulting from former construction activity and is associated with the disturbed habitats of the project site. Due to sparse vegetation and lack of species diversity, the seasonal wetland on the site provides low-quality habitat for wildlife, typically supporting only transient individuals using the area for dispersal. The seasonal wetland on the site is not considered a sensitive natural community.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 14 5.2 POTENTIAL JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
There is one seasonal wetland in the project footprint totaling 0.015 acre (Table 3). This feature is referred to as seasonal wetland “C” in the delineation prepared in April 2013 by WRA Environmental Consultants (WRA 2013). Seasonal wetlands “D”, “E”, “F”, and “G” delineated by WRA in the project vicinity are located in the Hetch Hetchy ROW or along the neighboring SamTrans train tracks and are not on the project site. These features will not be impacted by the proposed project. Seasonal wetland “H” delineated by WRA no longer exists, presumably due to ongoing soil remediation or other site disturbances.
Table 3
AQUATIC RESOURCES IN THE PROJECT SITE
Feature Name Cowardin Classification Area (ac)
Seasonal Wetland C PEMx (Palustrine, emergent, excavated) 0.015 TOTAL AQUATIC RESOURCES 0.015
5.2.1 Potential Waters of the U.S.
Seasonal wetland “C” occurs within a remnant of a constructed ditch that is unlined and ponds water as a result of the soil type and the high amount of disturbed material found within the soil (WRA 2013).
The constructed ditch is a man-made ditch/depression left over from industrial activities on the site.
WRA concluded that the seasonal wetland is isolated, as no connection to navigable waters was apparent and that federal regulations exclude drainage features excavated in uplands. For these reasons, the seasonal and isolated wetland was considered non-jurisdictional and exempt from Section 404 jurisdiction by WRA (WRA 2013). This finding is consistent with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule: Definition of “Waters of the United States”, which generally exempts ditches from jurisdiction that are not traditional navigable waters, tributaries, isolated features, or that are not constructed in adjacent wetlands.
5.2.2 Potential Waters of the State
According to the State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State adopted April 2, 2019 that went into effect on May 28, 2020, artificial wetlands less than one acre in size are not waters of the State unless they resulted from historic human activity, are not subject to ongoing operation and maintenance, and have become a relatively permanent part of the natural landscape. The seasonal wetland on the site was constructed in uplands (WRA 2013) and is considered artificial. The seasonal wetland is subject to ongoing operation and maintenance including soil remediation in the immediate vicinity, mowing and vegetation maintenance. Therefore, seasonal wetland “C” does not qualify as a waters of the State based on the delineation report (WRA 2013) and the State Wetland Definition.
5.2.3 CDFW Jurisdictional Areas
Section 1600 et seq. of the Fish and Game Code regulates activities affecting rivers, streams, and lakes where fish or wildlife resources may be adversely affected. A lake under CDFW jurisdiction is defined as “a permanent natural body of water of any size or an artificially impounded body of water of at least one acre, isolated from the sea, and having an area of open water of sufficient depth and permanency Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 15 to prevent complete coverage by rooted aquatic plants” (CCR Vol. 18 Title 14, Section 1562.1).
Streambeds within CDFW jurisdiction are based on the definition of a stream as “a body of water that flows at least periodically or intermittently through a bed or channel having banks and supporting fish or other aquatic life” (CCR Vol. 18 Title 14, Section 1.72).
Seasonal wetland “C” is not consistent with the definition of streams or lakes and is not regulated by the CDFW. No habitat potentially regulated by CDFW occurs in the project site.
5.2.4 Impacts to Aquatic Resources
The project will result in permanent impacts to seasonal wetland “C”, which totals 0.015 acre in size. As discussed in the preceding paragraphs, this seasonal wetland does not qualify as a waters of the U.S. or waters of the State and is not subject to CDFW jurisdiction under Section 1600 et seq. of the Fish and Game Code. No mitigation is required for impacts to this non-jurisdictional aquatic resource.
5.3 SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES
Database queries for regionally occurring special-status species are included in Appendix B. The habitat affinities of each of these species were compared to the habitats present in the project site to determine the potential for each of these species to occur in the project site (Appendix C). Two specialstatus animal species were determined to have the potential to occur in the project site or otherwise be affected by development of the proposed project (Table 4). In addition, salt marsh harvest mouse is discussed in this section due to requirements of the MMRP in the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR, although it has no potential to occur in the project site or be impacted by the proposed project.

Habitat is present in the project site for burrowing owl and white-tailed kite, special-status bird species analyzed in Appendix C.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 16 5.3.1.1 Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia)
Federal Status – None
State Status – SSC
Other – None
Burrowing owls are often found in open, dry grasslands, agricultural and range lands, and desert habitats. They can also inhabit grass, forb, and shrub stages of pinyon and ponderosa pine habitats.
Burrowing owls occur at elevations ranging from 200 feet below mean sea level to over 9,000 feet amsl.
In California, the highest elevation where burrowing owls are known to occur is 5,300 feet amsl in Lassen County. In addition to natural habitats, burrowing owls can be found in urban habitats such as at the margins of airports and golf courses and in vacant urban lots. Burrowing owls nest in burrows and commonly perch on nearby fence posts or mounds. The owls also use ground squirrel burrows, badger dens or artificial burrows such as abandoned pipes or culverts (CDFW 2012).
Although the more northern burrowing owl populations migrate seasonally, burrowing owls are yearround residents in much of California. The owls often form loose colonies, with nest burrows 46 to 2,952 feet apart (ICF 2012). The nesting season for burrowing owl can begin as early as February 1 and continues through August 31. Burrowing owls forage in adjacent grasslands and other suitable habitats with low vegetation primarily for insects and small mammals, and less often for reptiles, amphibians, and other small birds.
Survey History
All biological surveys included searching for burrowing owls, including transects of the site on April 4, 2019. Protocol surveys were conducted on May 2, May 23, and June 18, 2019. Protocol burrowing owl surveys were reconducted on February 28, 2020 and May 13, 2020. In addition, biological reconnaissance surveys that included searching for burrowing owl and/or sign were conducted on June 3, 2020 and April 26, 2021. Burrowing owls, burrows or sign have not observed on the project site during any of the surveys. All burrows were either abandoned, collapsed or occupied by California ground squirrels or gray fox. Potential perch sites, such as bollards were also inspected, however no indication of burrowing owl using the site was detected.
The nearest documented occurrence in CNDDB of burrowing owl is located approximately 1/2 mile north of the project site. The occurrence is from 1950 and is presumed to be extirpated. The occurrence considers the conversion of vacant fields to developments a possible cause and notes a steady decline of burrowing owls in Newark (CDFW 2020. There is another reported occurrence approximately 0.5 mile northwest from 1978 and 1979 (CDFW 2020). In addition, this species was documented on site on January 17, 2012 in an unprocessed CDFW record (CDFW 2020). The record states that burrowing owl was observed foraging, and it does not identify any occupied burrows.
Habitat Suitability/Potential to Occur in the Project Site The project site provides suitable nesting, foraging and wintering habitat for this species. However, due to the high level of noise and human presence on the site due to ongoing remediation as well as in the immediate vicinity of the site resulting from the surrounding development activities, the site is not highly suitable for burrowing owl. The project site contains several California ground squirrel burrows that could be used by burrowing owl for nesting or stopover during winter migration. California ground squirrel burrows are scattered all over the site, with most burrows located adjacent to the site within Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 17 the Hetch Hetchy ROW. Burrows are also present along the edge of compromised paved surfaces and along other dirt berms. No burrowing owls or sign (whitewash, feathers, pellets) were detected during protocol surveys or any other biological surveys. All burrows appeared to be occupied by California ground squirrel or vacant.
Potential Project Impacts
Although the site provides some suitable foraging and potential mammal burrows for burrowing owl, no burrowing owl or active burrows have been observed on the project site during two seasons of protocol surveys and other biological surveys and the site is subject to a relatively high amount of noise disturbance and human presence on site due to ongoing remediation and in the immediate vicinity due to surrounding development activities. HELIX biologists have observed burrowing owl foraging or using burrows temporarily on several sites within the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan area but have not observed nesting or long-term occupancy of burrowing owl within site in the area, likely due to the high level of disturbance. It is unlikely that burrowing owl would occupy the site prior to development, but burrowing owl could occasionally use the site for foraging or temporary refugia.
The loss of 16.39 acres of potential foraging habitat within the ruderal/disturbed habitat onsite would not be expected to significantly impact burrowing owl. Higher quality foraging habitat is abundant to the west and north of the site. Burrowing owl is a highly mobile bird species and individual birds foraging or otherwise occurring in the site could readily avoid construction areas or contact with construction equipment or personnel. Therefore, no impacts to individual foraging or transient burrowing owls is anticipated. However, because the potential for burrowing owl to take up residence in the site prior to construction cannot be ruled out, especially if the site were to remain dormant for several weeks or more during the winter, potential disturbance to burrowing owl individuals could occur as a result of construction activities (e.g., noise, human presence).
The recommended mitigation measures for burrowing owls contained in Section 6.1.1.2 would reduce any potential impacts to burrowing owl to less than significant.
5.3.1.2 White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus)
Federal Status – None
State Status – Fully Protected
Other – None
White-tailed kite is a year-round resident in California in coastal areas and lowlands in the Central Valley. Population sizes increase during the non-breeding season due to over-wintering migrants.
Population also changes with the availability of prey, which may follow prey abundance. White-tailed kite prefers open stages of habitats dominated by herbaceous species (Zeiner et al. 1990). White-tailed kite will nest in tall trees adjacent to foraging habitat (Zeiner et al. 1990). White-tailed kites feed mainly on small mammals such as voles (Microtus spp.) but will take other small vertebrate and invertebrate prey.
Survey History
A pair of white-tailed kites was observed in the project site during biological surveys on April 4, 2019.
The pair was observed defending their territory from one red-tailed hawk, which was driven away from the project site by both kites. No active nests were observed in or adjacent to the project site, although Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 18 suitable nest trees are present in the project site. One old nest was observed in a pine tree along the southern boundary of the project site, which could be an old kite nest, but is likely being used by an American crow. White-tailed kites were observed on the project site again during the biological survey on February 28, 2020.
The nearest reported occurrences in CNDDB of white-tailed kite is located approximately 1.5 miles north of the project site. The occurrence is from 1971 and is presumed to be extant (CDFW 2020). The occurrence documents white-tailed kite nesting in a deciduous tree (CDFW 2020).
Habitat Suitability/Potential to Occur in the Project Site The project site provides suitable foraging habitat for this species, but white-tailed kite is unlikely to nest in the site. This species was documented on site on April 4, 2019 during the general biological survey and was observed again in February 2020. The project site contains a few trees tall enough for nesting and one old nest suitable for white-tailed kite was observed in a pine tree on the southern boundary of the project site along Enterprise Drive. However, remediation is ongoing on the site in the vicinity of the potential nest trees and properties adjacent to the project site are currently being developed with constant activity and disturbance from heavy machinery and personnel. The pair of white-tailed kites observed during the survey did not appear to be nesting onsite even though they displayed territorial behaviors, they only appeared to be foraging. The pair was likely nesting somewhere near the project site and occasionally using the site for foraging.
Potential Project Impacts
White-tailed kite is a highly mobile bird species and individual birds foraging or otherwise occurring in the site could readily avoid construction areas or contact with construction equipment or personnel.
Therefore, no impacts to individual foraging kites is anticipated. The loss of 16.39 acres of potential foraging habitat within the ruderal/disturbed habitat onsite would not be expected to significantly impact white-tailed kites nesting in the region. Higher quality foraging habitat is abundant to the west and north of the site. It is considered unlikely that white-tailed kite would nest in or immediately adjacent to the site, however, this potential cannot be completed ruled out. If white-tailed kite were to nest in or adjacent to the site prior to construction activities, noise, vibration, human presence, and other construction-related disturbances could disturb nesting kites and potentially result in nest failure or lead to the abandonment of eggs or young.
The recommended mitigation measures for nesting raptors contained in Section 6.1.1.1 would reduce potential impacts to nesting white-tailed kite to less than significant.
5.3.1.3 Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris) Federal Status – Endangered
State Status – Endangered
Other – None
The salt marsh harvest mouse was federally listed as endangered in its entire range on October 13, 1970 (Federal Register 35: 16047). Critical habitat has not been designated for this species. This mouse is also state listed as endangered. A recovery plan for the salt marsh harvest mouse was prepared in 1984 and is currently under revision.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 19 The salt marsh harvest mouse is endemic to tidal and brackish marsh habitats of the San Francisco Bay region. Salt marsh harvest mice are primarily found in the salt marshes along northern San Pablo Bay, surrounding Suisun Bay, and along southern San Francisco Bay USFWS 1984). The acreage believed to be necessary to sustain a healthy salt marsh harvest mouse population is 150 acres or more (USFWS 2010).
The salt marsh harvest mouse is critically dependent on dense cover and its preferred habitat is considered to be pickleweed-dominated salt marsh wetlands. Studies have found salt marsh harvest mice occur not only in tidal wetlands dominated by pickleweed, but also in wetlands with little or no pickleweed, in diked wetlands, and in transition zones dominated by annual grasses. However, the extent to which salt marsh harvest mice depend upon these habitats has not been explicitly quantified (Sustaita et al. 2011). Recent studies have also shown that salt marsh harvest mice are more flexible in habitat use and with their diet than previously thought (Smith and Kelt 2019). Salt marsh harvest mice will use non-native plant species, such as rabbitsfoot grass (Polypogon monspeliensis) in their diet (Smith and Kelt 2019) in addition to other native species and are not tied exclusively to pickleweed-dominated wetlands but will also use other mixed vegetation wetlands (Sustaita et al. 2011). This shows that salt marsh harvest mice may use mixed vegetation salt marsh habitat (Sustaita et al. 2011; Smith et al. 2014).
In marshes with an upper zone of halophytes in the intertidal zone, salt marsh harvest mice will use the tall vegetation to escape high tides and may also move into adjoining grasslands during the highest winter tides especially in areas with shorter emergent salt marsh habitat (Sustaita et al. 2011; Smith et al. 2014). During a live trapping study that used radio telemetry, the trapping study found that salt marsh harvest mice rarely used upland areas with annual grasses but preferred to stay in taller vegetation in the intertidal zone during high tide (Smith et al. 2014). The best type of pickleweed association for the species has 100 percent vegetative cover with a cover depth of 30 to 50 centimeters at summer maximum, at least 60 percent cover of pickleweed, and additional halophytes such as fat hen (Atriplex patula) and alkali heath (Frankenia salina). The amount of salt grass, brass buttons (Cotula coronopifolia), alkali bulrush (Bolboschoenus maritimus), or other species (e.g., Schoenoplectus sp. or Typha sp.) should be low (USFWS 1984).
The Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse and California Clapper Rail Recovery Plan (USFWS 1984) lists five principal reasons for the decline of the salt marsh harvest mouse: (1) habitat loss, (2) fragmentation of the remaining marshes, (3) widespread loss of the high marsh zone as a result of backfilling, (4) land subsidence, and (5) vegetational change. It further points out that small marshes, separated by open land or dikes, have very low immigration, and that very few areas are likely to be recolonized.
Survey History
A habitat assessment for salt marsh harvest mouse was conducted by a salt marsh harvest mousepermitted biologist in accordance with the requirements of the Bayside Newark TOD EIR MMRP (Appendix G).
Habitat Suitability/Potential to Occur in the Project Site The project site and immediate vicinity does not contain suitable habitat for salt marsh harvest mouse.
Refer to the habitat assessment for salt marsh harvest mouse in Appendix G for further discussion.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 20 Potential Project Impacts
There is no suitable habitat for salt marsh harvest mouse on or immediately adjacent to the project site and no potential for salt marsh harvest mouse to occur within the project boundaries or be impacted by the project.
5.3.2 Nesting Migratory Birds and Raptors
Native birds are protected by the California Fish and Game Code, which prohibits direct take of adults, nests, eggs, and chicks. Disturbance that leads to nest abandonment can be considered take of eggs and chicks. Common bird species found on the project site include species that nest on all types of substrata, including bare ground, herbaceous and woody vegetation, pipes, debris, poles, and structures.
Potential nesting habitat is limited on the project site; however, the proposed project may include removal of vegetation that provides potential nesting habitat for nesting birds. Project construction activities would potentially result in impacts to nesting birds if construction of the proposed project commences during the typical nesting period for migratory birds. Construction activities and construction-related disturbance (noise, vibration and increased human activity) could adversely affect these species if they were to nest in or adjacent to the project area. Potential effects include physical destruction of nests by construction equipment and/or nest abandonment.
Construction of the proposed project would increase the number of people in close vicinity to potentially suitable nesting and foraging habitat for nesting birds. Similar to those identified for burrowing owl and white-tailed kite, associated potential impacts would include harassment from increased noise and activity in the vicinity of potentially suitable habitat, degradation of habitat from litter and light spillover from the nearby development, and the potential for increased depredation as a result of increased traffic from potential nest predators, such as feral cats, dogs, raccoons, foxes and other predatory domestic animals and wildlife associated with an urban setting.
The keeping of outside feline pets or feral cat feeding stations will be prohibited, thereby reducing the potential for cats to prey on or harass nesting birds in suitable habitat near the project site. Lighting will be designed consistent with Policy LU-6.6 of the City General Plan Land Use Element, and the Site and Architecture Design Guidelines contained in the Specific Plan which require that the lighting be designed to reduce glare and over-lighting impacts. As a result, potential indirect impacts to nesting passerines and other birds associated with light and glare would be reduced.
The recommended mitigation measures for nesting migratory birds contained in Section 6.1.1.3 would reduce impacts to nesting migratory birds to less than significant.
5.3.3 Special-Status Plants
Habitat for special-status plants on the site is not present since the site has been developed and it is currently disturbed with non-native and imported soil and paved surfaces. In addition, no special-status plant species have been documented on the site during focused botanical surveys or numerous other biological surveys. Therefore, special-status plants are presumed absent from the project site and no impacts to special-status plant species is anticipated. No mitigation measures are necessary for specialstatus plants.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 21 5.4 PROTECTED TREES
A total of 34 trees meeting the size threshold for protection were identified on the project site; two of these are dead. The condition of the 32 live trees ranged from good to declining. Tree species present included Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), shamel ash (Fraxinus uhdei), carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides), cork oak (Quercus suber), coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), and Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta). A total of 32 trees meeting the City of Newark Municipal Code definition of protected trees were identified in the project site. These trees do not provide a windbreak on which a substantial number of people depend, and therefore are eligible for removal to facilitate development of the proposed project. A permit would likely be required from the City of Newark Public Works Director prior to removal, destruction, or transplantation of any trees included in the inventory. Details regarding the location and condition of the trees in the project site are provided in the arborist report in Appendix E.
The recommended mitigation measures for protected trees contained in Section 6.2 would reduce potential impacts to protected trees to less than significant.
6.0 DISCUSSION: GENERAL AVOIDANCE AND

Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 22 6.1 SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES
6.1.1 Special-Status Wildlife
6.1.1.1 Nesting Raptors
Section 4.3 of the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR identified MM 4.3-2 to identify potentially significant impacts to nesting raptors within the Specific Plan area. The mitigation measure is relevant to the proposed project. The following avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented prior to site disturbance to avoid impacts to nesting raptors and other migratory birds utilizing the project area or immediately adjacent properties, as required by MM 4.3-2 from the Specific Plan EIR. • To avoid impacts on nesting raptors, a nesting survey shall be conducted on individual project site parcels prior to commencing with earth-moving or construction work if this work would occur during raptor nesting season (between February 1 and August 31). The raptor nesting survey shall include examination of all trees on or within 300 feet of the entire project site, not just trees slated for removal, since ground vibrations and noise from earth-moving equipment can disturb nesting birds and potentially result in nest abandonment. • If nesting raptors are identified during the surveys, orange construction fence shall be installed to establish a 300-foot radius around the nest unless a qualified biologist determines that a lesser distance will adequately protect the nest (refer to discussion below for more detail). If the tree or nest is located off the project site, then the buffer shall be demarcated per the above where the buffer intersects the project site.
• The size of the non-disturbance buffer may be altered if a qualified raptor biologist conducts behavioral observations and determines the nesting raptors are well acclimated to disturbance.
If this occurs, the raptor biologist shall prescribe a modified buffer that allows sufficient room to prevent undue disturbance/harassment to nesting raptors. If the buffer is reduced, the qualified raptor biologist shall remain onsite to monitor the raptors’ behavior during heavy construction in order to ensure that the reduced buffer does not result in take of eggs or nestlings. No construction or earth-moving activity shall occur within the established buffer until it is determined by a qualified raptor biologist that the young have fledged (that is, left the nest) and have attained sufficient flight skills to avoid project construction zones. This typically occurs by August 1. This date may be earlier or later and would have to be determined by a qualified raptor biologist. If a qualified biologist is not hired to monitor the nesting raptors, then the full 300-foot buffers shall be maintained in place from February 1 through the month of August. The buffer may be removed, and work may proceed as otherwise planned within the buffer on September 1.
6.1.1.2 Burrowing Owl
Section 4.3 of the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR identified MM 4.3-3 to identify potentially significant impacts to burrowing owls within the Specific Plan area. If burrowing owl pair(s) or resident burrowing owl is observed during any of the pre-construction surveys, avoidance and compensatory mitigation would be required, as described below. The project specific mitigation presented below reflects revisions to MM 4.3-3 for consistency with the 2012 CDFW guidelines for preconstruction surveys and to address potential impacts to burrowing owls in the project site.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 23 • Pre-construction surveys for western burrowing owl shall be conducted in accordance with the CDFW 2012 protocol by a qualified biologist prior to ground disturbance (including grading, clearing and grubbing, brush removal, or any other ground disturbance) as described below to ensure there are no impacts on burrowing owls because of the proposed project. • The initial survey shall be conducted in the 30-day period prior to ground disturbance associated with the project, but no less than 14 days prior to the initiation of ground disturbance. Western burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted from two hours before sunset to one hour after, or one hour before to two hours after sunrise. All burrowing owl sightings, occupied burrows, and burrows with owl sign (e.g., pellets, excrement, and molt feathers) shall be counted and mapped. Surveys shall be conducted by walking all suitable habitat on the entire project area and (where possible) in areas within 150 meters (approximately 500 feet) of the project impact zone. The 150-meter buffer zone is surveyed to identify burrows and owls outside of the project area which may be impacted by factors such as noise and vibration (heavy equipment) during project construction. Pedestrian survey transects shall be systematically spaced to allow 100 percent visual coverage of the ground surface. The distance between transect center lines shall be no more than 20 meters (approximately 100 feet) and shall be reduced to account for differences in terrain, vegetation density, and ground surface visibility. If no suitable burrowing owl habitat is present, no additional surveys will be required. If suitable burrows are determined to be present on the site, a qualified biologist will visit the site an additional three times to investigate whether owls are present where they could be affected by the proposed activities.
The final survey shall be conducted within the 24-hour period prior to the initiation of construction.
• If burrowing owl is present during the non-breeding season (generally September 1 through January 31), a buffer of 50 meters (approximately 160 feet) shall be maintained around the occupied burrow(s), if practicable. If maintaining such a buffer is not feasible, then the buffer must be great enough to avoid injury or mortality of individual owls or the owls shall be passively relocated in coordination with CDFW. If burrowing owl is detected on the site during the breeding season (peak of the breeding season is April 15 through July 15), and appear to be engaged in nesting behavior, a fenced 250-foot buffer shall be required between the nest site(s) (i.e., the active burrow(s)) and any earth-moving activity or other disturbance in the project area. This 250-foot buffer could be decreased to 160 feet once it is determined by a qualified burrowing owl biologist that the young have fledged (that is, left the nest). Typically, the young fledge by August 31. This date may be earlier than August 31, or later, and would have to be determined by a qualified burrowing owl biologist.
• If burrowing owl is found on the project site, a qualified biologist shall delineate the extent of burrowing owl habitat on the site and a Mitigation Plan shall be prepared in consultation with CDFW for review and approval by the City. The Mitigation Plan shall identify the mitigation site and any activities proposed to enhance the site, including the construction of artificial burrows and maintenance of California ground squirrel populations on the mitigation site. In addition, for each pair of burrowing owls found in the construction area, two artificial nesting burrows shall be created at the mitigation site. The Plan shall also include a description of monitoring and management methods proposed at the mitigation site. Monitoring and management of any lands identified for mitigation purposes shall be the responsibility of the applicant for at least five years. An annual report shall be prepared for submittal to CDFW and the City by December 31 of each monitoring year. Contingency measures for any anticipated problems shall Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 24 be identified in the plan. Compensatory mitigation shall consist of providing six and a half acres of replacement habitat which shall be protected in perpetuity per pair of burrowing owls, or unpaired resident bird. Such a set-aside would offset permanent impacts on burrowing owl habitat. The protected lands shall be adjacent to occupied burrowing owl habitat if possible, and at a location selected in consultation with CDFW. Land identified to offset impacts on burrowing owls shall be protected in perpetuity by a suitable property instrument (e.g., a conservation easement or fee title acquisition).
6.1.1.3 Nesting Passerines and other Nesting Migratory Birds Section 4.3 of the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR identified MM 4.3-4 to identify potentially significant impacts to nesting passerines within the Specific Plan area. The mitigation measure is relevant to the proposed project. The following avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented prior to site disturbance to avoid impacts to nesting passerines and other migratory birds utilizing the project area or immediately adjacent properties, as required by MM 4.3-4 from the Specific Plan EIR.
• To avoid impacts on nesting passerines and other migratory birds, a nesting survey shall be conducted in the project site and areas within 100 feet of the site prior to commencing initial earth-moving (including site remediation activities) or construction work if this work would occur during the passerine nesting season (between March 1 and September 1). Areas within 100 feet of the project site shall be surveyed on foot if accessible or from within the project site or publicly accessible areas by scanning the surrounding land with the aid of binoculars. • The nesting surveys shall be completed approximately 15 days prior to commencing work. If special-status birds are identified nesting on or near the project site, a 100-foot radius around all identified active nests shall be demarcated with orange construction fencing to establish a nondisturbance buffer. If an active nest is found off site, the intersecting portion of the buffer that is on site shall be fenced. No construction or earth-moving activity shall occur within this 100-foot staked buffer until it is determined by a qualified biologist that the young have fledged (that is, left the nest) and have attained sufficient flight skills to avoid project construction zones. • If common (that is, not special-status) birds, for example, red-winged blackbird, are identified nesting on or adjacent to the project site, a non-disturbance buffer of 75 feet shall be established or as otherwise prescribed by a qualified biologist. The buffer shall be demarcated with orange construction fencing. Disturbance around an active nest shall be postponed until it is determined by the qualified biologist that the young have fledged and have attained sufficient flight skills to leave the area.
• Typically, most birds in the region of the project site are expected to complete nesting by August 1. However, in the region many species can complete nesting by the end of June or in early to mid-July. Regardless, nesting buffers shall be maintained until August 1 unless a qualified biologist determines that the young have fledged and are independent of their nests at an earlier date. If buffers are removed prior to August 1, the biologist conducting the nesting surveys shall prepare a report that provides details about the nesting outcome and the removal of buffers. This report shall be submitted to the City project planner and CDFW prior to the time that buffers are removed if the date is before August 1.
Biological Resources Technical Report for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 25 6.2 PROTECTED TREES
Section 4.3 of the Bayside Newark TOD Specific Plan EIR identified MM 4.3-8 to address potentially significant impacts to protected trees within the Specific Plan area. The mitigation measure is relevant to the proposed project. The following avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented prior to removal of any protected trees, as required by MM 4.3-4 from the Specific Plan EIR.
The MMRP’s measure 4.3-8 specifies that a tree permit shall be obtained from the City prior to the removal of any tree protected by City Ordinance on project sites. Replacement trees shall be planted at a 1:1 ratio (replacement tree per tree removed) in designated open space areas on the subject parcel.
The measure contains specific requirements pertaining to monitoring, irrigation, and plan preparation for the replacement plantings.
If the trees in the study area are found to be protected under the City Ordinance, and will be removed for project development, mitigation measures shall be implemented in accordance with the MMRP.

This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly aected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of eects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site-specic (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project-specic (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS oce(s) with jurisdiction in the dened project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of inuence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly aected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a sh population even if that sh does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water ow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential eects to species, additional site-specic and project-specic information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local oce and a species list which fullls this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an ocial species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local eld oce directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an ocial species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the sheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries ).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ).
2. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an oce of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce.

Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey eort (see below) can be used to establish a level of condence in the presence score. One can have higher condence in the presence score if the corresponding survey eort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is
0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season ( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Eort ( )
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey eort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data ( )
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas o the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specied location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. 5/11/2021 IPaC: Explore Location resources
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/ADIDWTRSNBAR5DNXAX4KBMD2BQ/resources 15/17 The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and ltered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identied as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to oshore activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specied location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specied. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacic Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in oshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. oshore energy development or longline shing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, eorts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially aected by oshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area o the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also oers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.
Alternately, you may download the bird model results les underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
5/11/2021 IPaC: Explore Location resources
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/ADIDWTRSNBAR5DNXAX4KBMD2BQ/resources 16/17 Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specied location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey eort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey eort is the key component. If the survey eort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey eort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to conrm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be conrmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
5/11/2021 IPaC: Explore Location resources
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/ADIDWTRSNBAR5DNXAX4KBMD2BQ/resources 17/17 Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update our NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual extent of wetlands on site.
This location overlaps the following wetlands:
Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identied based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on-the-ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classication established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verication work conducted.
Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or eld work. There may be occasional dierences in polygon boundaries or classications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters.
Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tubercid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory.
These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may dene and describe wetlands in a dierent manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to dene the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specied agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may aect such activities.

Bombus crotchii
crotch bumblebee --/SCE/--/--
Crotch bumble bee occurs in grassland and scrub
habitats (CDFW 2019). New colonies are initiated
by solitary queens, generally in the early spring,
which typically occupy abandoned rodent
burrows (CDFW 2019). This species is a generalist
forager and have been reported visiting a wide
variety of flowering plants. A short-tongued
bumble bee; food plants include Asclepias spp.,
Antirrhinum spp., Clarkia spp., Eschscholzia spp.,
Eriogonum spp., Chaenactis spp., Lupinus spp.,
Medicago spp., Phacelia spp., and Salvia spp.
(Koch et al. 2012). The flight period for queens in
California is from February to October. New
queens hibernate over the winter and initiate a
new colony the following spring (CDFW 2019).
Rare throughout its range and in decline in the
Central Valley and southern California (CDFW
2019).
Will not occur
Some select food plants are
present on site for western
bumble bee, however vegetation
onsite is routinely managed and
potential food plants are unlikely
to persist. The nearest recorded
occurrence for this species is 9
mile west of the project site and
is from 1909. The area has since
been developed and it is unlikely
that this population is still extant
(CNDDB 2021)
Bombus occidentalis
Western bumble bee --/SCE/--
Bumble bees are primitively eusocial insects that
live in underground colonies made up of one
queen, female workers, and reproductive
members of the colony. New colonies are
initiated by solitary queens, generally in the early
spring, and typically occupy abandoned rodent
burrows (Thorp et al. 1983). Western bumble
bee is a generalist forager and has been reported
visiting a wide variety of flowering plants; select
food plants include Melilotus spp., Cirsium spp.,
Trifolium spp., Centaurea spp., Eriogonum spp.,
and Chrysothamnus spp. (Koch et al. 2012). This
species has a short tongue and typically prefers
open flowers with short corollas but is known to
chew through the base of flowers with long
corollas. The flight period for queens in California

Euphydryas editha bayensis
Bay checkerspot butterfly FT/--/--
Inhabits shallow, serpentine-derived soil with
current populations in San Francisco, San Mateo
and Santa Clara counties. Larvae require dwarf
plantain (Plantago erecta) initially, and then
transfer to exerted Indian paintbrush (Castilleja
exserta) or purple owl’s clover (Castilleja exserta
spp. exerta). Adults emerge in early spring lay
eggs during flight season from late February to
early May (Black and Vaughan 2005).
Will not occur
The project is outside of this

Although spawning has not been observed in the
wild, the eggs are thought to attach to substrates
such as cattails, tules, tree roots and submerged
branches. Delta smelt are found only from the
Suisun Bay upstream through the Delta in Contra
Costa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano and Yolo
counties (USFWS 1995).
Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus

Steelhead spawn in rivers and streams with cool,
clear, water and suitable substrate. This distinct
population segment includes all naturally
spawned anadromous O. mykiss (steelhead)
populations below natural and manmade
impassable barriers from the Russian River to
Aptos Creek, Santa Cruz County and their
tributaries, including drainages from the San
Francisco and San Pablo Bays and their
tributaries (NOAA 2006).
Will not occur There is no suitable aquatic

Spirinchus thaleichthys
Longfin smelt FC/ST/--
The longfin smelt is a pelagic estuarine fish that
spawns in freshwater and then moves
downstream to brackish water to rear. They
usually live for 2 years, spawn, and then die,
although some individuals may spawn as 1- or 3-
year-old fish before dying. Longfin smelt in the
Bay-Delta may spawn as early as November and
as late as June, although spawning typically
occurs from January to April. The known range of
the longfin smelt extends from the San Francisco
Bay-Delta in California northward to the Cook
Inlet in Alaska. Longfin smelt have been observed
as far upstream as Isleton in the Sacramento
River, Santa Clara shoal in the San Joaquin
system, Hog Slough off the South-Fork
Mokelumne River, and in Old River south of
Indian Slough (USFWS 2016).

Amphibians
Ambystoma californiense
California tiger salamander FT/--/SSC
California tiger salamanders are generally
restricted to vernal pools and seasonal ponds,
including many constructed stock ponds, in
grassland and oak savannah plant communities
from sea level to about 1,500 feet in central
California. This species spends the majority of its
life in upland areas in the vicinity of suitable
breeding ponds, where it inhabits rodent
burrows. In order to provide suitable habitat for
this species, suitable breeding habitat must be
present in combination with suitable upland
habitat. In the Coastal region, populations are
scattered from Sonoma County in the northern
San Francisco Bay Area to Santa Barbara County,
and in the Central Valley and Sierra Nevada
foothills from Yolo to Kern counties (USFWS
2017a).

Rana boylii
foothill yellow-legged frog --/SE/SSC
The foothill yellow-legged frog occurs along the
coast ranges from Oregon to Los Angeles and
along the western side of the Sierra Nevada. This
species uses perennial rocky streams in a wide
variety of habitats up to 6,400 feet above msl.
This species rarely ventures far from water, is
usually found basking in the water, or under
surface debris or underground within 165 feet of
water. Eggs are laid in clusters attached to gravel
or rocks along stream margins in flowing water.
Tadpoles typically require up to four months to
complete aquatic development. Breeding
typically follows winter rainfall and snowmelt,
which varies based upon location (Jennings and
Hayes 1994).
Will not occur
There is no suitable freshwater
stream breeding habitat in or
near the project site. The site is

Rana draytonii
California red-legged frog FT/--/SSC
The California red-legged frog occupies a distinct
habitat, combining both specific aquatic and
riparian components. The adults require dense,
shrubby or emergent riparian vegetation closely
associated with deep (greater than 2 1/3-foot
deep) still or slow-moving water. The largest
densities of California red-legged frogs are
associated with deep-water pools with dense
stands of overhanging willows (Salix spp.) and an
intermixed fringe of cattails (Typha latifolia).
Well-vegetated terrestrial areas within the
riparian corridor may provide important
sheltering habitat during winter. California redlegged frogs aestivate (enter a dormant state during summer or dry weather) in small mammal
burrows and moist leaf litter. They have been
found up to 100 feet from water in adjacent
dense riparian vegetation. Studies have indicated
that this species cannot inhabit water bodies that
exceed 70° F, especially if there are no cool, deep

and higher elevation uplands for cover and
refuge from flood waters during its dormant
season (winter). Inhabits small mammal burrows
and other soil crevices with sunny exposure
along south and west facing slopes, above
prevailing flood elevations when dormant.
Primarily found in marshes and sloughs as well as
slow-moving creeks but absent from large rivers
(USFWS 2017b).
Birds
Accipiter cooperii
Cooper’s hawk --/--/WL
Nests in woodlands and urban trees. Preys on
medium-sized birds and small mammals. Forages
in open woodland and habitat edges. Dense
stands of live oak, riparian deciduous, or other
forest habitats near water used most frequently
(Zeiner et al. 1988-1990).
Will not occur
There is no suitable nesting or
foraging habitat in or adjacent to
the project site.
Accipiter striatus
sharp-shinned hawk --/--/WL
Primarily found in dense woodland habitat on
north facing slopes. Prefers riparian areas,
nesting sites are generally within 275 feet of
water. Forges in edges along forested habitat and
brushy pastures (Zeiner et al. 1988-1990).
Will not occur
There is no suitable nesting or
foraging habitat in or adjacent to
the project site.
Agelaius tricolor
tricolored blackbird FC/ST/SSC
Common locally throughout central California.
Nests and seeks cover in emergent wetland
vegetation, specifically cattails and tules, but may
also use riparian vegetation. Nesting area must
be large enough to support a minimum colony of
50 pairs as they are a highly colonial species.
Forages on ground in croplands, grassy fields,
flooded land, and edges of ponds (Shuford and
Gardali 2008).
Will not occur
There is brackish marsh with
emergent wetland vegetation
adjacent to the site, however the
marshes are likely too small to
provide breeding habitat to
support a nesting colony and the
proximity of the marsh habitat to
ongoing disturbance on the site
renders the marsh unlikely to be
used by this species. In addition,
tri-colored blackbird has not

Aquila chrysaetos
Golden eagle --/--/FP
Typically occurs in rolling foothills, mountain
areas, deserts and other open habitats up to
3,822 m amsl. Typically nests on cliff ledges or
large trees in open areas in canyons. Will
occasionally use other tall structures for nesting,
such as electrical transmission towers. Prey
consists mostly of rodents, carrion, birds, reptiles
and occasionally small livestock (Zeiner et al.
1990).
Will not occur
(nesting)
Golden eagle was observed flying
over the site during a biological
survey on February 20, 2020.
However, there is no suitable
nesting habitat on or adjacent to
the site for this species and it is
unlikely that golden eagle would
use the site for foraging due to
its small size and high level of
disturbance. Abundant foraging
habitat for golden eagle is
present in open lands to the west
and northwest of the site.
Asio flammeus
short-eared owl --/--/SSC
Nests on the ground in tall herbaceous
vegetation in grassland and open habitat. Feeds
almost exclusively on voles (Microtus spp.).

RE: Certified Arborist Tree Inventory for the FMC Willow Project Site, City of Newark, California
On behalf of Integral Communities, HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) conducted an inventory of trees protected under Chapter 8.16 of the City of Newark Municipal Code, entitled Preservation of Trees on Private Property, for the FMC Willow Project. This technical memorandum documents the results of the tree inventory.
The City of Newark protects trees as windbreaks essential to public health and safety. The City of Newark Municipal Code Chapter 8.16.02 requires that a permit be obtained from the Public Works Director to cut down, destroy, remove, or move trees when growing on any parcel except developed residential parcels less than ten thousand square feet in area. A tree is defined in the ordinance as any live perennial woody plant with at least one well-defined stem 6 inches or greater in diameter measured at 48 inches above grade (dbh). The purpose of the tree inventory was to document existing trees in the project site in support of an application for tree removal from the Public Works Director, if such a permit is necessary.
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The project site is in west-central Newark, at the western terminus of Enterprise Drive; the street address is 8787 Enterprise Drive. The project site comprises all or part of the following City of Newark Assessor’s parcels: 537-852-1-2, 537-852-2-7, and 92-100-5. The total area of the project site is 24 acres.
Refer to Attachment A for a regional location map.
The project site is a former industrial chemical plant that was active until the 1990s. The site has been subject to remediation for environmental contamination and the entire site is currently in a disturbed condition, with gravel driveways, concrete pads, and extensive evidence of grading and placement of fill and soil stockpiles. Vegetation in the site is predominantly weedy grasses and forbs with ornamental Letter Report to Mr. Glenn Brown Page 2 of 3

trees around the perimeter. The proposed project is transit-oriented residential development and a park. The entire project site would be developed.
METHODS
An inventory of trees in the project site was conducted on April 4, 2019 by International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist George Aldridge (WE-11778A). All woody plants in the project site meeting the City’s definition of a tree were assessed. The locations of all trees with one or more trunks with a diameter of 6 inches or greater when measured at 48 inches above ground level were recorded using an EOS Systems Arrow 100 GNSS receiver. Each tree included in the inventory was identified with a numbered metal tag.
In addition to measured diameter, trees were assessed for dripline radius, height, structural condition, and health. Structure and health were assessed by a visual inspection of trunk, foliage, and root crown.
Each tree was assigned an overall rating on a scale of 0 (dead), 1 (severe decline), 2 (declining), 3 (fair), 4 (good), or 5 (excellent). Height and dripline were visually estimated. A Tree Location Map documenting the location of each tree in the inventory is included as Attachment B; the survey data are compiled in Attachment C. Criteria used for assessing health and structure of trees are provided in Attachment D.
RESULTS
A total of 34 trees meeting the size threshold for protection were identified in the project site; two of these are dead. The condition of the 32 live trees ranged from good to declining. Tree species present included Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), shamel ash (Fraxinus uhdei), carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides), cork oak (Quercus suber), Coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), and Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta).
SUMMARY
A total of 32 trees meeting the City of Newark Municipal Code definition of protected trees were identified in the project site. These trees do not provide a windbreak on which a substantial number of people depend, and therefore are eligible for removal to facilitate development of the proposed project.
A permit would likely be required from the City of Newark Public Works Director prior to removal, destruction, or transplantation of any trees included in the inventory. If you have any questions or comments regarding the results of the survey, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (916) 365-8700 x 102.
Sincerely,
Stephen Stringer

SUBJECT: FMC Willow Property, Newark, California: Habitat Assessment for Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse
Dear Mr. Stringer,
Per your request, Dr. Gretchen Padgett-Flohr, a 10(a)(1)(A) Salt Marsh Harvest Mousepermitted mammalogist (PRT # TE006112-8) conducted a habitat assessment for Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris) on Tuesday, May 1st, 2018, at the property known FMC Willow (Project Site) located in the City of Newark, Alameda County, California. This report summarizes the results of the habitat assessment for the Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
FMC Willow Project Site is located at the terminus of Enterprise Drive in Newark (Figure 1), California. The Property is located in the southwestern portion of the San Francisco Bay in the City of Newark, California and is within the Dumbarton Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Area, which is comprised of former industrial parcels planned for future transit-oriented development. The project site is a former industrial chemical plant that was active until the 1990s. Following ongoing soil remediation activities, the site is barren except for some remnant cement pads and cement and asphalt roads.
At the time of the biological reconnaissance survey on June 3, 2020, remediation was ongoing in the western portion of the site. The Project Site is located within a former industrial area that is rapidly being converted to mixed residential uses. The project site is bound on the north by the San Mateo Transit District (SamTrans) railroad corridor and industrial development beyond, to the east by a vacant parcel planned for development, and to the south and west by residential and mixed-use development currently under construction.
The Project Site contains no natural biological communities. Following extensive soil remediation that included the export of contaminated soils and import of clean fill, the majority of the site is disturbed, but is vegetated by weedy species typical of the region. Soil remediation is on-going in the western portion of the site. Currently, the Project Site supports three vegetation communities/land covers: ruderal/disturbed, developed and seasonal wetland.
Seasonal wetlands in the Project Site occur within constructed ditches and depressions formed as a result of former construction activity that hold water for sufficient duration to form wetland conditions. The seasonal wetlands contain facultative (FAC) and facultative wetland (FACW) hydrophytic species such as salt grass (Distichlis spicata) and rabbit’s foot grass (Polypogon monspeliensis).

2 SPECIES OF INTEREST
Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris)
Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse (SMHM) is a federal- and
state-listed endangered species endemic to the salt
and brackish marshes of the San Francisco Bay and
the Napa, Petaluma, San Pablo, and Suisun Bay salt
marshes. Current literature suggests that SMHM
evolved in the San Francisco Bay Area from parental
stock of harvest mice approximately 25,000 years
ago (Nelson et al. 1984).
Harvest mice (Reithrodontomys spp.) in general, are
small, delicate mice with nearly nude tails and the genus is easily identified by the distinctive pronounced groove on the upper incisors (Jameson and Peters 1986), which other small rodent genera [e.g. house mouse (Mus musculus)] do not exhibit. SMHM measure approximately 118 to 175 mm in total (adult) length and display a venter that varies from white to red throughout the range of the species (Fisler 1965). The average lifespan in the wild is approximately one year, although SMHM have been known to live for up to three years under laboratory conditions (Fisler 1965).
The federal and state listing of Reithrodontomys raviventris includes two subspecies:
Reithrodontomys raviventris raviventris (the southern subspecies) and Reithrodontomys raviventris halicoetes (the northern subspecies). R. r. halicoetes is found in Marin County, and throughout the Petaluma, Napa, and Suisun Bay marshes. The North Bay marshes inhabited by this subspecies experience a higher variation in salinity levels, but have a lower average salinity than that found in the South San Francisco Bay. The North Bay has experienced an increase in salinity with a corresponding increase in halophytic vegetation [e.g. pickleweed (Salicornia [= Sarcocornia] virginica) over the last 150 years, due to diking and filling of the marshes and reduced river flows into the Delta from upstream dams and water diversions of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers.
Evolving under slightly different environmental conditions than its southern counterpart, R. r. halicoetes exhibits slightly different characteristics and is genetically distinct from the disjunct southern subspecies (Fisler 1965). Two important behavioral and physiological differences between the two subspecies are that R. r. halicoetes has the ability to drink seawater, but does not have the ability to become torpid. In addition to these behavioral and physiological differences, R. r. halicoetes does not have the red belly that gave the southern subspecies its name. The northern subspecies generally has a white-gray/white venter, with some clinal variation and is therefore much more challenging to differentiate from the sympatric western harvest mouse (R. megalotis). In general, the North Bay subspecies has a tail-to-body ratio that is greater than 100 percent, although there is a certain amount of variation in this particular trait. The Collinsville population of SMHM is 2246 Camino Ramon

3 the most extreme case, exhibiting a tail-to-body ratio in the 115 to 130 percent range in one study conducted in the area (G. Padgett-Flohr, unpub. data).
In contrast, the South Bay, where the southern subspecies (R. r. raviventris) is found, has little variation in salinity, but the average salinity level is much higher than that in the North Bay. R. r. raviventris does not drink sea water, but it does possess the ability to enter a state of torpor (Fisler 1965). The southern subspecies was named for its distinctive red belly, although this characteristic can show variation and is consistent only in the Alviso area of the southernmost part of the Bay. Tail-to-body ratios of the southern subspecies tend to fall under 100 percent, although this measurement can have large variation and is not considered to be a diagnostic characteristic.
Past studies have shown that optimal habitat for SMHM is a thick cover of pickleweed complexly interwoven with other halophytic plants such as fat hen (Atriplex patula), and alkali heath (Frankenia grandifolia) (Shellhammer et al. 1982; Shellhammer 1984; and Johnson et al. 1984). In diked marshes particularly, SMHM are highly dependent on plant cover. In addition to vegetation density, the salinity level in pickleweed is also an important component of the microhabitat and mid-range levels of salinity in pickleweed has been shown to be correlated with the presence of SMHM in diked marshes (Padgett-Flohr and Isakson 2003). SMHM were found to be absent from sites with low salinities, and infrequent in areas where pickleweed was high in salinity (Padgett-Flohr and Isakson 2003). Pickleweed height was formerly considered to be a key habitat requirement of SMHM; however, during her study conducted at New Chicago Marsh in 1996, Dr. Padgett-Flohr tested this variable using a random sampling scheme and found that this correlation was not supported (Padgett-Flohr SJSU Senior Thesis 1996). There was no significant association between SMHM and pickleweed height. Geissel et al. (1988) found that the height of a pickleweed plant is inversely correlated to the salinity level within the plant, meaning that the more saline the plant the shorter the plant. As Padgett-Flohr and Isakson demonstrated (2003), SMHM presence is statistically correlated with pickleweed containing a mid-range level of salinity (500 to 699 mmol/kg Cl-
). Mid-range levels of salinity can typically only be achieved by regular tidal influence. Diked marshes lacking tidal influence become either freshwater or hypersaline (Zedler and Adam 2002; Gedan et al. 2009) and do not provide the salinity levels that SMHM need or can tolerate.
SMHM therefore, require habitat that is dominated by dense, contiguous stands of halophytic vegetation that retains a mid-range level of salinity. Recurrent, but shallow flooding by saline water is likely needed to maintain habitat conditions that favor SMHM (Padgett-Flohr and Isakson 2003; USFWS 2013).
METHODS
Background and Research
The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) was queried to identify all documented occurrences of SMHM within 5 miles of the Property over the last 30 years. 2246 Camino Ramon
San Ramon, CA 94583
Phone: (925) 789-7459
4 Field Visit
Dr. Padgett-Flohr conducted a site visit and habitat assessment of the Property on May 1st, 2018. The entire site was surveyed on foot and assessed for potential suitability for SMHM.
RESULTS
Background and Research
The CNDDB documents 20 geographic occurrences of SMHM within 5 miles of the Project Site. One occurrence record reports 34 SMHM captured in 1989 at the Mayhews Landing site east of the junction of Jarvis Road and Thornton Avenue in Newark which is located 0.44 mile from the Project Site. In 2001, 36 SMHM were reported captured during studies at Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge south of Highway 84. Eighteen additional occurrences, are reported from 1971 and 1991 ranging from 1.45 to 4.96 miles from the Project Site as shown in Figure 2. These 18 occurrences represent multiple individual SMHM as each reported occurrence was the result of SMHM trapping surveys. Captures at each geographic location where occurrences were reported ranged between 1 and 36 SMHM captured.
Field Visit
The majority of the Project Site is highly altered and is dominated by non-native grasses (Attachment A, Photographs 1 through 4) reflecting its past historical anthropogenic disturbances from industrial use. There is no pickleweed present on the site. There is no potential for SMHM to occur on the Property.
CONCLUSION
There is no potential for SMHM to occur on the Project Site due to the lack of suitable habitat. The construction of this Project will not impact the species in any way.

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX), under contract to The Willow Project Owner, LLC, has prepared this Cultural Resources Assessment to determine whether historical resources may be affected by implementation of the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project in the City of Newark, Alameda County, California. The project will create ground disturbances that would have the potential to affect historic properties if they exist within the proposed project area. This assessment is based on the results of an archival records search, Native American coordination, and an intensive pedestrian survey of the project area. The proposed project would redevelop the 22.1-acre area into a 370-unit multi-family community including a mixed-use area of 4,000 square feet (sf) of retail and 90 affordable units (plus 1 manager unit), a 5-acre community park (Grand Park), and a 1,485-sf community building, along with approximately 1.8 acres set aside for a future transit station (including 0.1 acre of area for water quality management and 0.6 acre for public roads). The project would also provide a 20-foot-wide trail corridor, containing a 12-foot-wide multi-purpose trail, that would transect the Grand Park and run along Enterprise Drive to Willow Street and is anticipated to be eligible to be part of the regional San Francisco Bay Trail.
Results from the record search indicate that no resources have been previously recorded within the project’s Areas of Potential Effect (APE), although tracks associated with the historic Dumbarton Cutoff portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad are located adjacent to the APE. The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) conducted a search of their Sacred Lands File for the presence of Native American sacred sites or human remains in the vicinity of the APE. The search failed to indicate the presence of Native American cultural resources in the APE. The proposed project includes General Plan and Specific Plan amendments, and formal invitations to participate in the Senate Bill (SB) 18 consultation process on the proposed project were sent by the City to the same six tribal representatives. Each tribe was provided a brief description of the project and its location, the contact information for the City’s authorized representative, and a notification that the tribe has been invited to consult with the City on this project in accordance with Government Code Section 65352.3. As of December 2021, no tribe has responded requesting consultation under SB 18.
The entire 22.1-acre project APE (consisting of the 17.1-acre FMC Willow APE and the 5-acre Grand Park APE) was fully surveyed for archaeological resources. The entire APE is flat, and its eastern portion is almost entirely overgrown with grass. The FMC Willow APE is also bisected from east to west by the Hetch Hetchy pipeline ROW, a 100-foot-wide corridor that has been excluded from the project and is not part of the APE. The Grand Park APE is almost completely covered in the remains of concrete industrial pads and asphalt access roads and includes areas that are currently used for staging construction equipment and materials. No prehistoric or historic resources were found during the surveys.
The results of this assessment indicate there would be no impacts to significant cultural resources of prehistoric or historic age by the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project, and therefore no additional studies, archaeological work, or construction monitoring are recommended. However, HELIX recommends that procedures be in place to address unanticipated discoveries of cultural materials and human remains during construction.

1 1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a cultural resources assessment conducted by HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) for the proposed development of a 370-unit multi-family community and mixeduse area (proposed project) on an approximately 22.1-acre area in the City of Newark, Alameda County, California. Development of this project is proposed by The Willow Project Owner, LLC for property within the Dumbarton Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan.
Cultural resources investigations conducted in support of this project are subject to provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as defined by Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, with the City of Newark Community Development Department (City) acting as the Lead Agency. This report documents HELIX’s efforts to assess the potential of ground disturbances associated with this project to impact cultural resources that meet the criteria of significance under CEQA. This assessment is based on the results of an archival records search, Native American outreach, and an intensive pedestrian survey of the proposed project area.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.2.1 Project Location
The proposed project area is located within the City of Newark in southwestern Alameda County, northwest of the intersection of Willow Street and Enterprise Drive (Figure 1; figures can be found within Appendix A). The majority of the proposed project area is located in Sections 2 and 11 of Township 5 South and Range 2 West as shown on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute “Newark” quadrangle map (Figure 2). The western portion of the area has not been sectioned. The proposed project would be located on Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 092-0100-013, 092-0100-014, 537-0852-028, 537-0852-029, 537-0852-030, and 537-0852-031.
1.2.2 Project Setting
The project area is a former industrial chemical plant that was active until the 1990s. Subject to years of soil remediation activities, the area is barren except for remnant cement pads and cement and asphalt roads. The project area is bordered by the SamTrans railroad corridor to the north, residential development to the west, Enterprise Drive and planned mixed use developments to the south, and Willow Street to the east. The Hetch Hetchy pipeline right-of-way (ROW), owned and operated by the City and County of San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC), transects the project area. Part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is approximately 1,000 feet northwest of the project area, on the other side of the existing SamTrans railroad tracks. The surrounding land uses are characterized by existing and former industrial parcels, railroad, and residential and mixed-use development.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 2 Terrain in the project area and surrounding area has been altered by industrial development, and most existing topographic relief is the result of fill for the railroad and industrial pads, excavation of artificial basins and channels, and diking of tidelands. The project area currently consists of leveled industrial pads, asphalt roads, and railroad embankments. Terrain in the area surrounding the project area is essentially flat. Elevations on the project area are between 9 feet and 12 feet above mean sea level from west to east.
1.2.3 Proposed Project
The proposed project would redevelop the 22.1-acre area into a 370-unit multi-family community including a mixed-use area of 4,000 square feet (sf) of retail and 90 affordable units (plus 1 manager unit), a 5-acre community park (Grand Park), and a 1,485-sf community building, along with approximately 1.8 acres set aside for a future transit station (including 0.1 acre of area for water quality management and 0.6 acre for public roads). The project would also provide a 20-foot-wide trail corridor, containing a 12-foot-wide multi-purpose trail, that would transect the Grand Park and run along Enterprise Drive to Willow Street and is anticipated to be eligible to be part of the regional San Francisco Bay Trail.
The proposed Grand Park would be located in the western portion of the project area and would extend from Enterprise Drive to the south to the SamTrans railroad corridor to the north. The park would include a variety of amenities, including walking paths and a connection to the regional San Francisco Bay Trail, a sports field, small and large dog parks, multiple play areas for children of different age groups, a restroom and drinking fountains, a gazebo, a seating area for weddings, wildflower gardens and retention basins, lawn games, and a variety of other seating areas. A park access road with designated parking spaces and a vehicle turnaround runs roughly north/south through most of the park.
The Hetch Hetchy ROW is a 100-foot-wide corridor that transects the project area. Approximately 7 acres of the project area lies north of the Hetch Hetchy ROW, and approximately 15 acres of the project area lies south of the Hetch Hetchy ROW.
Additional proposed site improvements include the following: on- and off-street parking, open space and common areas, drive aisles, underground utilities, Low Impact Development (LID) drainage and water quality treatment structures, lighting, sidewalks, and landscaping.
1.2.3.1 Grading
The entire 22.1-acre project area would be disturbed during site preparation and grading. In preparing the area for construction, approximately 42,000 sf of concrete and 296,000 sf of asphalt remaining on the project area would be demolished and removed. Any remaining debris and vegetation within the area to be disturbed would be cleared, and the area would be graded. Site grading and preparation would require approximately 22,100 cubic yards of cut, and approximately 99,800 cubic yards of fill.
Therefore, approximately 77,700 cubic yards of clean soil would be imported to attain the minimum elevation for lots required by the City of Newark.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 3 1.3 AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS
The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the proposed project is defined as the geographic area where project activities may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historical resources (i.e., cultural resources that meet the criteria of significance under CEQA) of prehistoric or historic age, if any such resources exist. The 22.1-acre overall APE for the proposed project, which consists of the 17.1- acre FMC Willow APE and the 5-acre Grand Park APE, corresponds to the 22.1-acre project area and would be entirely disturbed by site preparation and grading. The APE is shown on an aerial overview map (Figure 3).
2.0 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
2.1 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Pursuant to CEQA, an historical resource is a resource listed in, or eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). In addition, resources included in a local register of historic resources, or identified as significant in a local survey conducted in accordance with state guidelines, are also considered historic resources under CEQA, unless a preponderance of the facts demonstrates otherwise. According to CEQA, the fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined eligible for listing in, the CRHR, or is not included in a local register or survey, shall not preclude a Lead Agency, as defined by CEQA, from determining that the resource may be an historic resource as defined in California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5024.1.7.
CEQA applies to archaeological resources when (1) the archaeological resource satisfies the definition of an historical resource, or (2) the archaeological resource satisfies the definition of a “unique archaeological resource.” A unique archaeological resource is an archaeological artifact, object, or site that has a high probability of meeting any of the following criteria (PRC Section 21083.2(g)):
1. The archaeological resource contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions and there is a demonstrable public interest in that information.
2. The archaeological resource has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type.
3. The archaeological resource is directly associated with a scientifically-recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person.
2.2 CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES
Created in 1992 and implemented in 1998, the CRHR is “an authoritative guide in California to be used by state and local agencies, private groups, and citizens to identify the state’s historical resources and to indicate what properties are to be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from substantial adverse change” (PRC Section 5024.1(a)). Certain properties, including those listed in or formally determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and California Historical Landmarks (CHLs) numbered 770 and higher, are automatically included in the CRHR. Other properties recognized under the California Points of Historical Interest program, identified as significant in historic Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 4 resources surveys, or designated by local landmarks programs may be nominated for inclusion in the CRHR.
A resource, either an individual property or a contributor to a historic district, may be listed in the CRHR if the State Historical Resources Commission determines that it meets one or more of the following criteria, which are modeled on NRHP criteria (PRC Section 5024.1(c)):
1) It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage.
2) It is associated with the lives of persons important in our past. 3) It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction; represents the work of an important creative individual; or possesses high artistic values. 4) It has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory.
Resources nominated to the CRHR must retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historic resources and to convey the reasons for their significance. It is possible that a resource whose integrity does not satisfy NRHP criteria may still be eligible for listing in the CRHR. A resource that has lost its historic character or appearance may still have sufficient integrity for the CRHR if, under Criterion 4, it maintains the potential to yield significant scientific or historical information or specific data. Resources that have achieved significance within the past 50 years also may be eligible for inclusion in the CRHR, provided that enough time has lapsed to obtain a scholarly perspective on the events or individuals associated with the resource.
2.3 NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE COMMISSION
PRC Section 5097.91 established the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), whose duties include the inventory of places of religious or social significance to Native Americans and the identification of known graves and cemeteries of Native Americans on private lands. Under PRC Section 5097.9, a State policy of noninterference with the free expression or exercise of Native American religion was articulated along with a prohibition of severe or irreparable damage to Native American sanctified cemeteries, places of worship, religious or ceremonial sites, or sacred shrines located on public property. Section PRC Section 5097.98 specifies a protocol to be followed when the NAHC receives notification of a discovery of Native American human remains from a county coroner.
2.4 GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 6254(R) AND 6254.10
These sections of the California Public Records Act were enacted to protect archaeological sites from unauthorized excavation, looting, or vandalism. Section 6254(r) explicitly authorizes public agencies to withhold information from the public relating to “Native American graves, cemeteries, and sacred places maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission.” Section 6254.10 specifically exempts from disclosure requests for “records that relate to archaeological site information and reports, maintained by, or in the possession of the Department of Parks and Recreation, the State Historical Resources Commission, the State Lands Commission, the Native American Heritage Commission, another state agency, or a local agency, including the records that the agency obtains through a consultation process between a Native American tribe and a state or local agency.” Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 5 2.5 HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE, SECTIONS 7050 AND 7052
Health and Safety Code, Section 7050.5 declares that, in the event of the discovery of human remains outside of a dedicated cemetery, all ground disturbance must cease and the county coroner must be notified. Section 7052 establishes a felony penalty for mutilating, disinterring, or otherwise disturbing human remains, except by relatives.
2.6 PENAL CODE, SECTION 622.5
Section 622.5 of the Penal Code provides misdemeanor penalties for injuring or destroying objects of historic or archaeological interest located on public or private lands, but specifically excludes the landowner.
2.7 NEWARK GENERAL PLAN
Goal LU-5 of the Newark General Plan is to identify, preserve, and maintain historic structures and sites to enhance Newark's sense of place and create living reminders of the city's heritage. The following policies and actions are relevant to the types of cultural resources that may be found in the project site:
Policy LU-55, Native American Resources: Coordinate with local tribal representatives and the Native American Heritage Commission to ensure the protection of Newark’s Native American resources and to follow appropriate mitigation, preservation, and recovery procedures in the event that important resources are identified during development.
Action LU-5.D, Historic Inventory: Maintain and periodically update a list of Newark’s historic sites and structures.
Action LU-5.E, State and Federal Register Listings: Work with property owners seeking to place their properties on the National Register of Historic Places, the California Points of Historical Interest, California Historical Landmarks, or the California Register of Historical Resources.
3.0 CULTURAL SETTING
Following is a brief overview of the prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic backgrounds that provide a context in which to understand the relevance of sites found in and around the APE. This section is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the current resources available; rather, it serves as a general overview.
Further details can be found in ethnographic studies, mission records, and major published sources, including Beardsley (1948), Bennyhoff (1950), Fredrickson (1973 and 1974), Kroeber (1925), Chartkoff and Chartkoff (1984), and Moratto (1984).
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 6 3.1 PREHISTORIC BACKGROUND
The San Francisco Bay Area supported a dense population of hunter-gatherers over thousands of years, leaving a rich and varied archaeological record. The Bay Area was a place of incredible language diversity, with seven languages spoken at the time of Spanish settlement in 1776. The diverse ecosystem of the Bay and surrounding lands supported an average of three to five persons per square mile but reached eleven persons per square mile in the North Bay (Milliken 1995). At the time of Spanish contact, the Native Americans living in the Bay Area were organized into local tribelets that defended fixed territories under independent leaders. Typically, individual Bay Area tribelets included 200 to 400 people distributed among three to five semi-permanent villages, within territories measuring approximately 10 to 12 miles in diameter (Milliken 1995).
Early archaeological investigations in central California were conducted at sites located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region. The first published account documents investigations in the Lodi and Stockton area (Schenck and Dawson 1929). The initial archaeological reports typically contained descriptive narratives, with more systematic approaches sponsored by Sacramento Junior College in the 1930s. At the same time, University of California at Berkeley excavated several sites in the lower Sacramento Valley and Delta region, which resulted in recognizing archaeological site patterns based on variations of inter-site assemblages. Research during the 1930s identified temporal periods in central California prehistory and provided an initial chronological sequence (Lillard and Purves 1936; Lillard, et. al. 1939). In 1939, Lillard noted that each cultural period led directly to the next and that influences spread from the Delta region to other regions in central California (Lillard, et al. 1939). In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Beardsley documented similarities in artifacts among sites in the San Francisco Bay region and the Delta and refined his findings into a cultural model that ultimately became known as the Central California Taxonomic System (CCTS). This system proposed a uniform, linear sequence of cultural succession (Beardsley 1948 and 1954). The CCTS system was challenged by Gerow, whose work looked at radiocarbon dating to show that Early and Middle Horizon sites were not subsequent developments but, at least partially, contemporaneous (1954; 1974; Gerow with Force 1968).
To address some of the flaws in the CCTS system, Fredrickson (1973) introduced a revision that incorporated a system of spatial and cultural integrative units. Fredrickson separated cultural, temporal, and spatial units from each other and assigned them to six chronological periods: Paleo-Indian (10000 to 6000 B.C.); Lower, Middle and Upper Archaic (6000 B.C. to A.D. 500), and Emergent (Upper and Lower, A.D. 500 to 1800). The suggested temporal ranges are similar to earlier horizons, which are broad cultural units that can be arranged in a temporal sequence (Moratto 1984). In addition, Fredrickson defined several patterns—a general way of life shared within a specific geographical region. These patterns include:
• Windmiller Pattern or Early Horizon (3000 to 1000 B.C.); • Berkeley Pattern or Middle Horizon (1000 B.C. to A.D. 500); and, • Augustine Pattern or Late Horizon (A.D. 500 to historic period).
Brief descriptions of these temporal ranges and their unique characteristics follow.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 7 Windmiller Pattern or Early Horizon (3000 to 1000 B.C.) Characterized by the Windmiller Pattern, the Early Horizon was centered in the Cosumnes district of the Delta and emphasized hunting rather than gathering, as evidenced by the abundance of projectile points in relation to plant processing tools. Additionally, atlatl, dart, and spear technologies typically included stemmed projectile points of slate and chert but minimal obsidian. The large variety of projectile point types and faunal remains suggests exploitation of numerous types of terrestrial and aquatic species (Bennyhoff 1950; Ragir 1972). Burials occurred in cemeteries and intra-village graves. These burials typically were ventrally extended, although some dorsal extensions are known with a westerly orientation and a high number of grave goods. Trade networks focused on acquisition of ornamental and ceremonial objects in finished form rather than on raw material. The presence of artifacts made of exotic materials such as quartz, obsidian, and shell indicate an extensive trade network that may represent the arrival of Utian populations into central California. Also indicative of this period are rectangular Haliotis and Olivella shell beads, and charmstones that usually were perforated.
Berkeley Pattern or Middle Horizon (1000 B.C. to A.D. 500) The Middle Horizon is characterized by the Berkeley Pattern, which displays considerable changes from the Early Horizon. This period exhibited a strong milling technology represented by minimally shaped cobble mortars and pestles, although metates and manos were still used. Dart and atlatl technologies during this period were characterized by non-stemmed projectile points made primarily of obsidian.
Fredrickson (1973) suggests that the Berkeley Pattern marked the eastward expansion of Miwok groups from the San Francisco Bay Area. Compared with the Early Horizon, there is a higher proportion of grinding implements at this time, implying an emphasis on plant resources rather than on hunting.
Typical burials occurred within the village with flexed positions, variable cardinal orientation, and some cremations. As noted by Lillard, the practice of spreading ground ochre over the burial was common at this time (Lillard, et al. 1939). Grave goods during this period are generally sparse and typically include only utilitarian items and a few ornamental objects. However, objects such as charmstones, quartz crystals, and bone whistles were occasionally present, which suggests the religious or ceremonial significance of the individual (Hughes 1989). During this period, larger populations are suggested by the number and depth of sites compared with the Windmiller Pattern. According to Fredrickson (1973), the Berkeley Pattern reflects gradual expansion or assimilation of different populations rather than sudden population replacement and a gradual shift in economic emphasis.
Augustine Pattern or Late Horizon (A.D. 500 to Historic Period) The Late Horizon is characterized by the Augustine Pattern, which represents a shift in the general subsistence pattern. Changes include the introduction of bow and arrow technology; and most importantly, acorns became the predominant food resource. Trade systems expanded to include raw resources as well as finished products. There are more baked clay artifacts and extensive use of Haliotis ornaments of many elaborate shapes and forms. Burial patterns retained the use of flexed burials with variable orientation, but there was a reduction in the use of ochre and widespread evidence of cremation (Moratto 1984). Judging from the number and types of grave goods associated with the two types of burials, cremation seems to have been reserved for individuals of higher status, whereas other individuals were buried in flexed positions. Johnson (1976) suggests that the Augustine Pattern Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 8 represents expansion of the Wintuan population from the north, which resulted in combining new traits with those established during the Berkeley Pattern.
Central California research has expanded from an emphasis on defining chronological and cultural units to a more comprehensive look at settlement and subsistence systems. This shift is illustrated by the early use of burials to identify mortuary assemblages and more recent research using osteological data to determine the health of prehistoric populations (Dickel et al. 1984). Although debate continues over a single model or sequence for central California, the general framework consisting of three temporal/cultural units is generally accepted, although the identification of regional and local variation is a major goal of current archaeological research.
3.2 ETHNOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND
At the time of European contact, the general Newark area was occupied by various tribelets that were part of the Ohlone (previously Costanoan) tribe of California Native Americans (Levy 1978). The Ohlone group designates a language family consisting of eight branches of the Ohlone language that are considered too distinct to be dialects, with each being related to its geographically adjacent neighbors.
These groups lived in approximately 50 separate and politically autonomous tribelet areas, each with one or more permanent villages, between the North San Francisco Bay and the lower Salinas River (Levy 1978).
The various Ohlone tribes subsisted as hunter-gatherers and relied on local terrestrial and marine flora and fauna for subsistence (Levy 1978). The predominant plant food source was the acorn, but they also exploited a wide range of other plants, including various seeds, buckeye, berries, and roots. Protein sources included grizzly bear, elk, sea lions, antelope, and black-tailed deer as well as smaller mammals such as raccoon, brush rabbit, ground squirrels, and wood rats. Waterfowl, including Canadian geese, mallards, green-winged teal, and American widgeon, were captured in nets using decoys to attract them. Fish also played an important role in the Ohlone diet and included steelhead, salmon, and sturgeon (Jones 2007).
The Ohlone constructed watercraft from tule reeds and possessed bow and arrow technology. They fashioned blankets from sea otter pelts, fabricated basketry from twined reeds of various types, and assembled a variety of stone and bone tools in their assemblages. Ohlone villages typically consisted of domed dwelling structures, communal sweathouses, dance enclosures, and assembly houses constructed from thatched tule reeds and a combination of wild grasses, wild alfalfa, and ferns.
The Ohlone were politically organized into autonomous tribelets that had distinct cultural territories.
Individual tribelets contained one or more villages with several seasonal camps for resource procurement within the tribelet territory. The tribelet chief could be either male or female, and the position was inherited patrilineally, but approval of the community was required. The tribelet chief and council were essentially advisors to the community and were responsible for feeding visitors, directing hunting and fishing expeditions, ceremonial activities, and warfare on neighboring tribelets.
The Gold Rush brought disease to the native inhabitants, and by the 1850s, nearly all the Ohlone had adapted in some way or another to economies based on cash income. Hunting and gathering activities continued to decline and were rapidly replaced with economies based on ranching and farming.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 9 3.3 HISTORIC BACKGROUND
The history of the San Francisco Bay Area can be divided into several periods of influence; pertinent historic periods are briefly summarized below.
Spanish Mission Period
The most drastic and permanent change came to the local Ohlone way of life with the establishment of the Spanish Mission system. By the early 1800s, the mission fathers began a process of cultural change that brought the majority of local Native Americans into the missions. At the expense of traditional skills, the neophytes were taught the pastoral and horticultural skills of the Hispanic tradition. If the Native Americans tried to escape, the Spanish missionaries traveled into valley regions to recapture them and recruit inland Native Americans for the coastal missions. In 1834, the Mission system was officially secularized, and most of the mission Native American population dispersed to local ranches, villages, or nearby pueblos. Following the collapse of the mission system, many of the local Native Americans returned to northern California, bringing with them language and agricultural practices learned from the Spanish. During the latter half of the 19th century, the size of all Native American populations dwindled dramatically, due to the spread of European settlements and the diseases the Europeans brought with them (Mission San Jose 2020).
Mexican Period
With the declaration of Mexican independence in 1821, Spanish control of Alta California ended, although little change occurred. Political change did not take place until mission secularization in 1834, when Native Americans were released from missionary control and the mission lands were granted to private individuals. Shoup and Milliken (1999) state that mission secularization removed the social protection and support on which Native Americans had come to rely. It exposed them to further exploitation by outside interests, often forcing them into a marginal existence as laborers for large ranchos. Following mission secularization, the Mexican population grew as the native population continued to decline. Anglo-American settlers began to arrive in Alta California during this period and often married into Mexican families, becoming Mexican citizens, which made them eligible to receive land grants. In 1846, on the eve of the U.S.-Mexican War (1846 to 1848), the estimated population of Alta California was 8,000 non-natives and 10,000 natives. However, these estimates have been debated.
Cook (1976) suggests the Native American population was 100,000 in 1850; the U.S. Census of 1880 reports the Native American population as 20,300.
European Expansion
In 1848, as a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, California became a United States territory. Also in 1848, John Marshall found gold at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, which marked the start of the Gold Rush.
The influx of miners and entrepreneurs increased the population of California, not including Native Californians, from 14,000 to 224,000 in just four years. This massive jump in population allowed California to meet the requirements to petition for statehood resulting in California becoming a state in 1850. At this point, large numbers of American businessmen, ranchers, orchardists, farmers, entrepreneurs, immigrants, religious groups, and anyone else who could make the trip by boat or overland flocked to California. Drawn by the benign climate, fertile land, access to ports for shipping and Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 10 trade, and a vast array of business opportunities, Euro-Americans flocked to California. More came each decade, establishing businesses, farms, and ranches, creating commercial and industrial ventures and buying up land from the Mexican families to subdivide and create towns and cities. Cities such as San Francisco and Sacramento benefited greatly from the newcomers and the business developments, becoming more diverse and economically successful with each decade.
3.4 CITY OF NEWARK
The city of Newark is located within Alameda County, California and comprised of approximately 14 square miles of land. Newark was incorporated on September 22, 1955 and is part of what is referred to as the “Tri-City” area which includes Newark, Fremont and Union City. In 2015, the city’s population was approximately 44,000 people. The development of Newark followed the same patterns of change and growth as did most of California during the Mexican and American periods. After California statehood, the American presence in the San Francisco Bay region increased steadily. The following is excerpted from City of Newark (2020).
By the early 1850s, small landings were under construction along the San Francisco Bay area in the vicinity of Newark. In 1853, Mayhew's Landing included warehouses for wheat, hay, and coal and by 1856 the Mayhew Ranch included 1,500 acres of farmland extending inland to presentday I-880. Less than 20 years later, the Perrin brothers acquired the old Mayhews Ranch and extended their holdings to include property stretching from today's Jarvis Avenue on the north to south of Thornton Avenue. The Perrin brothers' "development project," the Green Point Dairy and Transportation Company, set the tone for future development. It was the Perrin brothers who first drew up plans to subdivide the Green Point Dairy into a townsite (located in the general vicinity of Thornton and Jarvis Avenues).
Early swamp reclamation was started by E. Beard who patented the land in the area. Mr. Beard required capital and, in 1872, he sold 20,000 acres of swampland for $300,000 to Mr. J. Ross Browne. Mr. Browne outlined his swamp lands project before the State legislature on February 3, 1872. At this point, Mr. Browne referred to the proposed town site as "Cralvo" or "Cariboo." Browne created a circular that was distributed around Europe to promote the swamp lands project. An English capitalist bought an interest in the property and hired J. Barr Robertson (a Scotsman) to oversee his interests. Robertson was a director of the California Land Investment Co., Ltd., London, England. Robertson then bought out the interest that Mr. Browne had in the land. The name 'Newark' was chosen by Robertson, who named it after the castle "Newark" in Port Glasgow, Scotland.
Work started on a railroad through the townsite from Dumbarton Point in 1875. That project was under-financed and never progressed beyond initial grading. In 1876, the railroad, together with the Green Point Dairy, were purchased by a San Francisco capitalist, Alfred Davis, and a Comstock millionaire, Jim Fair. They not only completed the South Pacific Coast Railroad, from Dumbarton Point south all the way to Santa Cruz, but also moved the town site to coincide with the curve on the railroad where the Railroad turned south toward San Jose. Soon, a railroad station, roundhouse, and railroad shop buildings were being erected in the center of Newark in the area between Thornton Avenue, Sycamore Street, and Carter Avenue.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 11 Eventually, the railroad was extended north from Newark to Alameda, providing direct ferry service to San Francisco.
The completion of the railroad precipitated additional development in Newark. Hotels and stores were soon erected, along with some of the first manufacturing industries, including a railroad car building firm operated by Thomas and Martin Carter and a foundry which later manufactured Wedgewood stoves. These enterprises joined the production of salt, which had been underway in the Newark area since the 1850s. Acquisitions and mergers of salt production companies throughout the Bay area ultimately resulted in formation of the Arden Salt Company, predecessor to Leslie Salt Company and today's Cargill Salt.
The city of Newark lies close to Silicon Valley with its high-tech companies and digital technology. Over the twentieth century, industrial growth within and surrounding Newark, added to the economic base Various manufacturing companies were within the Newark area including the Wedgewood Company that manufactured stoves from the 1910s until the 1940s and Peterbilt which manufactured trucks in Newark from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s. In 1956, Trailmobile moved its manufacturing and assembly facility from Berkeley to a site adjacent to the Peterbilt factory. The facility was closed in 1975 and the company moved its operations to Illinois. From the mid-1950s through the early 1960s, the A.O.
Smith Corporation of Illinois built residential and commercial grade glass-lined water heaters at a large manufacturing facility located in Newark on Sycamore Street. The plant was later acquired by the National Steel Corporation which continued the water heater manufacturing operations until the early 1970s.
In the early 1950s subdivisions in Southern Alameda County began talks of incorporation. In 1953, a group representing the chambers of commerce of Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles, Warm Springs, and Newark commissioned a study to incorporate all six communities into one large city. During the hearings Centerville and Niles began pressuring Newark into accepting an industrial zoning for the entire town of Newark so that it would become the major industrial area for the new Southern Alameda County city. However, the Newark Chamber of Commerce began its own movement to incorporate just Newark, and in September 1955 Newark was incorporated as the first new city in Alameda County in 47 years. Because of these efforts, Newark has built the Newark Mall, with its jobs and tax revenues, completed the Dumbarton Bridge and maintained and improved much of the Nimitz Freeway (City of Newark 2020).
3.4.1 History of the Project Area
The following history of the project area has been adapted from the History and Operations section of Proposed Final Remedial Actions and Cleanup Standards: FMC Corporation, Newark, California (England Geosystems, Inc. 2001).
FMC and predecessor companies manufactured chemicals at the project area from 1929 through 1995.
The Sierra Magnesite Company first began chemical production at the site in 1929, manufacturing bromine and ethylene dibromide (EDB) from seawater bittern, and quick lime from oyster shells. EDB was manufactured primarily for agricultural use as a soil fumigant, while quicklime is used in a variety of manufacturing processes, including steel, cement, and glass. Sierra Magnesite became California Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 12 Chemical Company in 1934. California Chemical Company subsequently merged into Westvaco Chlorine Products Corporation in 1937.
In 1942, a pilot plant for a copper-based catalyst (1707 Catalyst) was built on land which was leased from Leslie Salt Company, and a plant for the full production of the catalyst was subsequently constructed. These catalyst plants were closed in 1944. Westvaco Chlorine Products Corporation merged with Food Machinery Corporation in 1948 to form Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation (later shortened to FMC Corporation).
A phosphate plant and phosphoric acid plant were constructed in 1950. Between 1955 and 1959, full scale manufacturing of the 1707 Catalyst was performed at the location of the former pilot plant. Leslie Salt Company assumed management of the property when the lease was terminated. The bromine towers and EDB plant were shut down, and the associated manufacturing facilities were removed in 1968.
In the mid-1960s, a small plant was constructed for manufacture of a proprietary catalyst; this facility was shut down in 1976. During that same year, a hydrogen peroxide (and other chemicals) distribution facility was constructed. FMC acquired an adjacent parcel from Designed Building Systems, Inc. (DBS) on August 16, 1988. The phosphate plant and phosphoric acid plant were shut down in 1994 and 1995, respectively. All former phosphate plant and phosphoric acid plant manufacturing facilities were removed by the end of 1996, and two 100,000-gallon fuel oil storage tanks were removed in 1999.
The project area is comprised of former industrial parcels and is not currently associated with any land use. Clean-up operations at the area began in the 1970s. Soil remediation activities in compliance with cleanup Order R2-2015-0017 from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board San Francisco Region were completed between August 2019 and December 2019, in which all excavated areas were backfilled with clean imported material to grades specified in approved workplans. No buildings remain within the project APE, and it is largely barren post-remediation. The City of San Francisco maintains a right-of-way for the Hetch-Hetchy Pipeline that bisects the project area.
4.0 RECORD SEARCHES
4.1 NORTHWEST INFORMATION CENTER RECORD SEARCH
A records search addressing the project area and a 0.5-mile radius beyond the project area boundary (together referred to as the study area) was conducted on April 17, 2018 at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) in Rohnert Park by HELIX Archaeologist Katherine D. Thomas, M.A., RPA. Sources of information included previous survey and cultural resources files; the NRHP; the CRHR; the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility; the OHP Directory of Properties in the Historic Property Data File; and historical topographic maps and aerial photographs.

Two survey reports (S-00898 and S-036481) examined portions of the current APE; these are described below.
S-000898: This study, conducted in 1976, examined several proposed pipeline routes and reservoir locations for the Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency. One of the pipeline route alternatives included the Hetch-Hetchy Aqueduct right-of way, which bisects the APE. No cultural resources were documented in the vicinity of the APE during this study.
S-036481: This study was conducted in 2009 in support of the Dumbarton Rail Corridor Project, which proposes to improve the existing railroad corridor between the West Bay and the East Bay. The study did not document or address any cultural resources in the vicinity of the APE other than the Dumbarton Cutoff portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad (see Section 4.1.2 below), but it did provide a geoarchaeological analysis of the cultural sensitivity of the area. The authors determined that the site of the proposed Newark Station, located west of the current APE, is situated on older Holocene alluvial fan deposits that date to the middle Holocene or earlier. As such, the area has a moderate potential to contain buried archaeological materials.
Three other reports (S-033249, S-39227, and S-43676) included portions of the APE in their study areas, but these studies documented only a literature review, construction monitoring, and Historic American Engineering Record respectively. None involved surveys of the APE.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 15 4.1.2 Previously Documented Resources
Results from the search indicate that no previously recorded cultural resources are located within the APE, although tracks associated with the Dumbarton Cutoff portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad (P01-001783) are located adjacent to the APE (Table 2).

Dumbarton Cutoff 1996 John Snyder P.S. Preservation Services P-01-001783: The Dumbarton Cutoff segment of the Southern Pacific Railroad, located immediately north of the APE, was recorded in 1996 by John Snyder. Snyder recommended the line eligible for the NRHP at the local level of significance in transportation and engineering. He found that under Criterion A, it is associated with system-wide improvements to the Southern Pacific Railroad that made it the standard railroad of the West and is inextricably linked with both the economic growth of San Francisco and national defense efforts during both world wars. Under Criterion B, it is associated with the life of E.H. Harriman, who drove the modernization of the Southern Pacific during the early twentieth century.
Under Criterion C, contributive elements of the Cutoff, including its bridges, are representative examples of their type, period, and method of construction. Snyder also found that overall, the line retains integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association. SamTrans purchased the Dumbarton Cutoff from the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1994, although the segment has not been used since 1982.
In 2017, HELIX conducted a pedestrian survey of the area west of the current APE. The survey identified a railroad spur that diverges from the Dumbarton Cutoff approximately 1700 feet west of the APE, runs eastward parallel to the main track, and then curves to the south, terminating about 150 feet west of the APE. HELIX evaluated the spur as a potential contributor to the Dumbarton Cutoff, but recommended it did not contribute to the characteristics that qualify the Dumbarton Cutoff for listing on the NRHP.
4.2 NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE COMMISSION SACRED LANDS
FILE SEARCH
A Sacred Lands File (SLF) search request was submitted to the NAHC on November 3, 2017. On November 17, 2017, a response was received from the NAHC indicating that the results of the SLF record search were negative for the project APE. Included with the response was a list of the following six Native American tribal representatives who may have additional information pertaining to the project which is contained in Appendix B:
• Andrew A. Galvan, The Ohlone Indian Tribe;
• Ann Marie Sayers, Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan; • Irenne Zwierlein, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Mission San Juan Bautista; • Katherine Erolinda Perez, North Valley Yokuts Tribe;
• Rosemary Cambra, Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the SF Bay Area; and • Tony Cerda, Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 16 4.3 SENATE BILL 18 TRIBAL CONSULTATION
Senate Bill (SB) 18 requires that the City initiate consultation with any tribes listed on the NAHC’s official contact list for an amendment of a General Plan and Specific Plan. SB 18 requires the City to send a letter to each contact on the NAHC’s SB 18 list, extending an invitation for consultation. Tribes have 90 days from receipt of the letter to request consultation. The City must also send a notice to all contacts 45 days prior to adopting or amending the General Plan and Specific Plan regardless of whether prior consultation has taken place, but the notice does not initiate a new consultation process. Lastly, the City must send notice of a public hearing to all tribes who have filed a written request for such notice as least 10 days prior to the hearing. For the City of Newark, the six tribes listed in Section 4.2 above previously submitted general request letters, requesting such noticing.
The proposed project includes General Plan and Specific Plan amendments, and formal invitations to participate in the SB 18 consultation process on the proposed project were sent by the City to six tribal representatives listed in Section 4.2 on October 20, 2020. Each tribe was provided a brief description of the project and its location, the contact information for the City’s authorized representative, and a notification that the tribe has been invited to consult with the City on this project in accordance with Government Code Section 65352.3. As of December 2021, no tribe has responded requesting consultation under SB 18. The Native American correspondence relevant to the current analysis is contained in Appendix B.
5.0 PEDESTRIAN SURVEY
5.1 FMC WILLOW AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS
On May 6, 2020, HELIX Staff Archaeologist Katherine D. Thomas, M.A, RPA conducted an intensive pedestrian survey to characterize any prehistoric or historic-era archaeological resources located within the FMC Willow portion of the APE. The survey consisted of a pedestrian walk-over of all accessible portions of the APE in parallel transects spaced at 15-meter intervals. During the survey, the ground surface was examined for the presence of historic-era artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics), prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools, tool-making debris), and other features that might represent human activity that took place more than 50 years ago. Representative photographs of the APE are found in Appendix C.
Survey conditions were poor, with less than 20% surface visibility due to heavy grass cover in areas that were not capped by asphalt or industrial pads (Photograph 1). The entire FMC Willow portion of the APE is flat, and its eastern portion is almost entirely overgrown with grass (Photographs 2 and 3). The eastern portion is also bisected from east to west by the Hetch Hetchy pipeline ROW, a 100-foot-wide corridor that has been excluded from the project and is not part of the APE except for where the proposed Hickory Street extension crosses the Hetch Hetchy ROW within an existing 80-foot easement.
In contrast, the western portion of the FMC Willow APE is almost completely covered in the remains of concrete industrial pads and asphalt access roads, some of which are lined with trees (Photographs 4 Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 17 and 5). The western section also includes areas that are currently used for staging construction equipment and materials (Photograph 6).
No historic-era resources were found within the FMC Willow APE, although approximately 30 feet north of the northern border of the APE is the Dumbarton Cutoff (P-01-001783), a railroad grade that was formerly a component of the Southern Pacific Railroad and is now owned by SamTrans. The Dumbarton Cutoff has previously been evaluated for significance and was recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP.
No prehistoric resources have been previously recorded within the FMC Willow APE or a 0.50-mile radius around the APE, and none were identified during the field survey. Given its history of industrial use and previous ground disturbance, the APE is considered to have a low sensitivity for prehistoric resources.
5.2 GRAND PARK AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS
On April 26, 2021, HELIX Archaeologist Katherine D. Thomas surveyed the APE for the Grand Park portion of the project. The Grand Park APE partially developed land surrounded by industrial and commercial buildings in the western section of the City of Newark. The APE has been partially paved, and there is very little surface visibility present (Photograph 7). Additionally, the unpaved areas are covered in grass, gravel, and equipment that further obscures the surface. A portion of the railroad spur evaluated by HELIX and found ineligible in 2017 is visible in the northern portion of the APE (Photograph 8). The Grand Park APE is completely flat, with the exception of a small, raised area that has been recently created using fill from work being done elsewhere on the parcel. The APE used to contain a warehouse, but that has been removed (Photograph 9), and the APE is currently being used for equipment storage (Photograph 10).
No historic age or pre-contact resources have been previously recorded within the APE, and none were found during the field survey. Therefore, the Grand Park portion of the APE is considered to have a very low sensitivity for historic age or pre-contact resources.
6.0 SUMMARY AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 SUMMARY
HELIX has assessed the APE for the presence/absence of cultural resources that may be impacted by the proposed project. No prehistoric or historic-era resources have been previously recorded within the FMC Willow and Grand Park APEs, and none were identified during the pedestrian survey. Given the project area’s disturbed setting and long history of industrial use, we conclude that there is a low potential of identifying Native American resources and a low to moderate potential of identifying historic-period resources during ground-disturbing activities associated with the proposed project.
Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 18 A search of the NAHC’s Sacred Lands File returned a negative result, suggesting that there are no known Native American resources in the immediate vicinity, and to date, no responses have been received from the Native American individuals who were contacted about the proposed project. The results of this assessment indicate there would be no impacts to significant cultural resources of prehistoric or historic age by the proposed project, and therefore no additional studies, archaeological work, or construction monitoring are recommended. However, HELIX recommends that procedures be in place to address unanticipated discoveries during construction. These, as well as procedures to address the accidental discovery of human remains, are provided below.
6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
6.2.1 Accidental Discovery of Cultural Resources
In the event that cultural resources are exposed during ground-disturbing activities, construction activities should be halted in the immediate vicinity of the discovery. If the site cannot be avoided during the remainder of construction, an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards should be retained to evaluate the find’s significance under CEQA. If the discovery proves to be significant, additional work, such as data recovery excavation, may be warranted and should be discussed in consultation with the City.
6.2.2 Accidental Discovery of Human Remains
Although considered highly unlikely, there is always the possibility that ground disturbing activities during construction may uncover previously unknown human remains. In the event of an accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains, PRC Section 5097.98 must be followed. Once projectrelated earthmoving begins and if there is a discovery or recognition of human remains, the following steps shall be taken:
1. There shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the specific location or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the County Coroner is contacted to determine if the remains are Native American and if an investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner determines the remains are Native American, the coroner shall contact the NAHC within 24 hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the “most likely descendant” of the deceased Native American. The most likely descendant may make recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in PRC Section 5097.98, or
2. Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his/her authorized representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity either in accordance with the recommendations of the most likely descendent or on the project area in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
• The NAHC is unable to identify a most likely descendent or the most likely descendent failed to make a recommendation within 48 hours after being notified by the commission; • The descendent identified fails to make a recommendation; or, Cultural Resources Assessment for the FMC Willow and Grand Park Project | December 2021 19 • The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendent, and the mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.

Subject: Native American Cultural Resources Consultation for the FMC Willow and Bayside Grand Park Projects Pursuant to Government Code Section 65352.3
Dear Chairperson Galvan:
The City of Newark formally invites you to request consultation pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB 18; Government Code Section 65352.3) regarding the FMC Willow and Bayside Grand Park projects within the Dumbarton Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan area in the City of Newark, California.
SB 18 requires local governments to consult with California Native American Tribes about local land use planning decisions for the purpose of protecting traditional tribal cultural places and sacred sites. Both proposed projects would require an Amendment to the City of Newark General Plan and therefore are subject to the requirements of SB 18.
Project Locations and Descriptions
The proposed project sites are located within the City of Newark in southwestern Alameda County, northwest of the intersection of Willow Street and Enterprise Drive. The proposed FMC Willow Project would be located on Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 092-0100-005 and on portions of APNs 537-0852-001-08 and 537-0852-002-09. The majority of the proposed FMC Willow project sites is located in Sections 2 and 11, of Township 5 South, and Range 2 West of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute “Newark” quadrangle map (quad). The western portion of the FMC Willow site and the Bayside Grand Park site are unsectioned (unsurveyed).
The Bayside Grand Park Project would be located primarily on APNs 537-0852-001-02 and 537-0852-07, with a small portion within APN 537-0852-08. A small portion of the Bayside Grand Park located along the western edge of the proposed project site is currently zoned for parks and recreational use. The remainder of the project site is not currently designated for parks and recreational use and will require a General Plan Amendment (see Figure 3 for the existing General Plan land use designations and proposed changes). We are inviting you to consult on the portion of the proposed Bayside Grand Park project site that requires a General Plan Amendment from Community Commercial and Public Institutional to Parks and Recreational Facilities as indicated on Figure 3.

The Ohlone Indian Tribe
Both project sites are vacant following soil remediation that removed industrial contaminants that were remnants of prior uses. The proposed FMC Willow Project would redevelop a former industrial, approximately 18-acre site into a multi-family residential community including a mixed-use area with retail and affordable residential units, a community building with townhouses, a bus transit station, and medium/high-density residential units in six planning areas. The project would also provide a trail along the northern boundary of the project site that is eligible to be part of the regional San Francisco Bay Trail, a bicycle and pedestrian trail that will eventually allow continuous travel around the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. The Bayside Grand Park Project would redevelop a former industrial site to establish a 5- acre park with open space and recreational opportunities to serve the surrounding community.
The Hetch Hetchy Right-of-Way (ROW) is a 100-foot wide corridor that transects the FMC Willow Project site and runs along the northeast corner of the Bayside Grand Park Project site. Approximately 8 acres of the FMC Willow Project site lies north of the Hetch Hetchy ROW, and approximately 10 acres of the FMC Willow Project site lies south of the Hetch Hetchy ROW.
Prior Surveys of Cultural Resources and Prior Notification On May 6, 2020, HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) Staff Archaeologist Katherine D. Thomas, M.A, RPA conducted an intensive pedestrian survey to characterize any prehistoric or historic-era archaeological resources located within the Areas of Potential Effect (APE).

A Sacred Lands File (SLF) search request was submitted to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on November 3, 2017 for the FMC Willow project. On November 17, 2017, a response was received from the NAHC indicating that the results of the SLF record search were negative for the project Area of Potential Effect (APE). Included with the response from the NAHC was a list of six Native American tribal representatives who may have additional information pertaining to the project. On November 28, 2017, HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) sent information request letters to each of the representatives listed asking for any additional information they may have. HELIX noted that the request was for informational purposes only. To date, no responses have been received from any of the tribal representatives.

Conclusion
We are inviting you to consult with us regarding the potential for these projects to impact known ancestral tribal sites or cultural resources in accordance with Government Code Section 65352.3. If ancestral tribal sites or cultural resources are known to occur within the projects’ APE, your prompt response to request consultation, in writing, with the City of Newark for the purpose of identifying potentially significant impacts of the projects, alternatives to the projects as proposed, and recommended mitigation measures would be much appreciated.

Subject: Native American Cultural Resources Consultation for the FMC Willow and Bayside Grand Park Projects Pursuant to Government Code Section 65352.3
Dear Chairperson Zwierlein:
The City of Newark formally invites you to request consultation pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB 18; Government Code Section 65352.3) regarding the FMC Willow and Bayside Grand Park projects within the Dumbarton Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan area in the City of Newark, California.
SB 18 requires local governments to consult with California Native American Tribes about local land use planning decisions for the purpose of protecting traditional tribal cultural places and sacred sites. Both proposed projects would require an Amendment to the City of Newark General Plan and therefore are subject to the requirements of SB 18.
Project Locations and Descriptions
The proposed project sites are located within the City of Newark in southwestern Alameda County, northwest of the intersection of Willow Street and Enterprise Drive. The proposed FMC Willow Project would be located on Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 092-0100-005 and on portions of APNs 537-0852-001-08 and 537-0852-002-09. The majority of the proposed FMC Willow project sites is located in Sections 2 and 11, of Township 5 South, and Range 2 West of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute “Newark” quadrangle map (quad). The western portion of the FMC Willow site and the Bayside Grand Park site are unsectioned (unsurveyed).
The Bayside Grand Park Project would be located primarily on APNs 537-0852-001-02 and 537-0852-07, with a small portion within APN 537-0852-08. A small portion of the Bayside Grand Park located along the western edge of the proposed project site is currently zoned for parks and recreational use. The remainder of the project site is not currently designated for parks and recreational use and will require a General Plan Amendment (see Figure 3 for the existing General Plan land use designations and proposed changes). We are inviting you to consult on the portion of the proposed Bayside Grand Park project site that requires a General Plan Amendment from Community Commercial and Public Institutional to Parks and Recreational Facilities as indicated on Figure 3.

Both project sites are vacant following soil remediation that removed industrial contaminants that were remnants of prior uses. The proposed FMC Willow Project would redevelop a former industrial, approximately 18-acre site into a multi-family residential community including a mixed-use area with retail and affordable residential units, a community building with townhouses, a bus transit station, and medium/high-density residential units in six planning areas. The project would also provide a trail along the northern boundary of the project site that is eligible to be part of the regional San Francisco Bay Trail, a bicycle and pedestrian trail that will eventually allow continuous travel around the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. The Bayside Grand Park Project would redevelop a former industrial site to establish a 5- acre park with open space and recreational opportunities to serve the surrounding community.
The Hetch Hetchy Right-of-Way (ROW) is a 100-foot wide corridor that transects the FMC Willow Project site and runs along the northeast corner of the Bayside Grand Park Project site. Approximately 8 acres of the FMC Willow Project site lies north of the Hetch Hetchy ROW, and approximately 10 acres of the FMC Willow Project site lies south of the Hetch Hetchy ROW.
Prior Surveys of Cultural Resources and Prior Notification On May 6, 2020, HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) Staff Archaeologist Katherine D. Thomas, M.A, RPA conducted an intensive pedestrian survey to characterize any prehistoric or historic-era archaeological resources located within the Areas of Potential Effect (APE). The survey consisted of a pedestrian walk-over of all accessible portions of the APE in parallel transects spaced at 15-meter intervals. During the survey, the ground surface was examined for the presence of historic-era artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics), prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools, tool-making debris), and other features that might represent human activity that took place more than 50 years ago. No historic-era resources were found within the APE, although approximately 30 feet north of the northern border of the APE is the Dumbarton Cutoff (P-01-001783), a railroad grade that was formerly a component of the Southern Pacific Railroad and is now owned by SamTrans. The Dumbarton Cutoff has previously been evaluated for significance and was recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP. No prehistoric resources have been previously recorded within the APE or a 0.50-mile radius, and none were identified during the field survey. Given its history of industrial use and previous ground disturbance, the APE is considered to have a low sensitivity for prehistoric resources.
A Sacred Lands File (SLF) search request was submitted to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on November 3, 2017 for the FMC Willow project. On November 17, 2017, a response was received from the NAHC indicating that the results of the SLF record search were negative for the project Area of Potential Effect (APE). Included with the response from the NAHC was a list of six Native American tribal representatives who may have additional information pertaining to the project. On November 28, 2017, HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) sent information request letters to each of the representatives listed asking for any additional information they may have. HELIX noted that the request was for informational purposes only. To date, no responses have been received from any of the tribal representatives.

Dear Mr. Brown:
Berlogar Stevens & Associates (BSA) is pleased to present our Due Diligence Geotechnical Investigation report for the FMC - Willow Parcel, in Newark, California. The scope of this investigation, our geotechnical engineering conclusions regarding the soils, groundwater and geologic conditions at the site, and our preliminary recommendations related to site grading, underground utilities, building foundations and pavements, are presented below.
PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT
It is our understanding that the site will be redeveloped with a change in usage from industrial to residential, with a portion of the site designated for a future public park. The details of the residential development have not been defined; based on current housing trends the development could range from one- to three-story wood frame, single-family detached to two- and three-story multi-unit residential dwellings. Redevelopment of the site will require clearing of the remnants of the industrial complex that previously occupied the site, import of fill to raise site grades up to approximately 5 feet above existing grades, and construction of underground utilities and roads.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of this Due Diligence Geotechnical Investigation was to identify soil and groundwater conditions, as well as potential geologic hazards, based on review of readily available published geologic maps and reports, information held in our files from past geotechnical investigations on adjoining and nearby properties, and unpublished consultant reports on adjoining and nearby properties. The potential impacts of the soil and groundwater conditions, as well as geologic hazards on the proposed redevelopment of the site as a residential
