THE FELONS AND THEIR COMPANIES WORKING ON THE QUARRY PROJECT
NEED TO BE BARRED FROM WORKING IN PACIFICA
Original applicants for this exact plan felons William Gilmartin and Alan Varela and their applicant-company Baylands Soil were banned about a year ago from doing business in the City of San Francisco due to their convictions for bribing City Officials in the Mohammed Nuru(SF Public Works) / Porter (Recology) scandal.
Quarry owner Paul Heule's environmental consultant John Zentner and Zentner & Zenter plead guilty to four criminal charges under the Endangered Species Act:
https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2000/November/663enrd.htm NO PORTION OF QUARRY PROJECT MAP REQUIRES REMEDIATION. THERE IS
NEITHER NEED NOR REQUIREMENT FOR IMPORTED FILL
(Yellow bordered project map on packet page 8-9 of Aug 1924 Planning Documents) The only unsafe portion of the Quarry is the eroding coastal shoreline west of the "Western Parcel". This Quarry Project ignores this most obvious and most dangerous segment completely while focusing on areas such as the "Quarry Pit" and "Western Parcel" that have been stable and enjoyed for public recreation for decades. A recently- collapsed portion of the quarry shoreline had been marked for residential development in the 2018 quarry development plan.
The "Quarry Pit" is flat and level and requires no remediation nor imported fill.
The highest portion of the quarry is not unstable mine tailings but stable convergent plate boundaries where the North American tectonic plate and the Pacific tectonic plate has been squeezed between the San Andreas Fault and San Gregorio Faults.
Pacifica Quarry has experienced three significant documented earthquakes in 112 years in exactly the same spot.
No portion of the Eastern Parcel requires remediation.
THE PACIFICA QUARRY IS A PRIZED CULTURAL ASSET WORTHY OF BOTH
NATIONAL REGISTER OF BOTH CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES LISTINGS.
The Quarry owner provided archaeologic plan is inadequate, fundamentally flawed and ignores the 12 million year history of indigenous occupation.
There is extensive evidence that supports the Rockaway Quarry at Calera Creek may be the long lost Native American village of Timigtac, with archeologist Stephen A Dietz in 1974 writing in "Report of Archaeological Investigations":
"The headman of the San Pedro valley village of Pruristace and one of his co-wive brought two of their children to be baptized in February of 1779. Along with them came two girls from "Timigtac", commonly called la Calera". Calera Valley is now the location of Rockaway Beach in the City of Pacifica (Map 2), and
"Of the 40 persons from Pruristac and Timigtac who had been baptized in the 1770's and 1780's, 25 were still alive at the end of 1793. In the late winter and early spring of 1795 a terrible epidemic struck the mission rancheria, taking over 200 lives in a few months."
The National Park Service wrote in "Early Mori Point History and Its Quarry" Historic Resource Study for Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Mateo County" that:
"The Aramai village of Timigtac, thought to have been in the Rockaway Beach area, may have existed at Mori Point... Whether these Indian people called the place Timigtac or not, an archeological survey in 1969 recorded a shell midden present, leaving no doubt that prehistoric people occupied the site", and "During the Spanish period, Mori Point was within the jurisdiction of the Franciscan padres at Mission San Francisco de Asis. After secularization, Francisco Sanchez obtained Mori Point as part of his Rancho San Pedro."
"The limestone at Mori Point has been utilized by all the cultures associated with the site. Archeological evidence suggests the Indians of the villages of Pruristac and Timigtac quarried limestone for use in construction, decoration and trade. The resource was duly noted by the Spanish. Beginning in 1776, they used Indian labor to quarry the limestone at Mori Point for their projects at San Francisco. They employed limestone for construction of the Presidio and used a variety of stone, gravel and shell from Mori Point to build both the Presidio and the mission buildings", and "Lime pits from the site were utilized to produce whitewash as a sort of paint for the structures. The Spanish also used Mori Point limestone to create the whitewash for the San Pedro y San Pablo outpost in the San Pedro Valley. "The California Journal of Mines and Geology, Vol 43, No 3, July 1947 states: "The deposit is of Franciscan (Jurassic ?) Limestone and Chert, forming Calera Hill which rises 300 feet above sea- level... apparently some lime was made her many years ago, as Eckel mentioned remains of some old kilns seen there." 7 Buttressing Deitz and the National Park Service is the NC Nelson Map of San Francisco Bay Region showing Distribution of Shell Heaps 1909 shows two visible shell mounds above Rockaway Beach when the author walked these parcels in 1909.
4 It is likely that the Timigtac settlement and any related shellmounds are on the Rockaway Quarry parcel near the fresh waters of Calera Creek than farther north, if Timigtac were to be discovered elsewhere, it would pose additional challenges to other pending projects including those immediately north of the Sharp Park Golf Course, making it is especially important that a modern Tribal Resources Assessment be performed.
Archaeologists agree that
1. Timigtac was in Rockaway Beach along Calera Creek.
2. Native Americans were enslaved by the Spanish Missions to mine limestone on the Rockaway Quarry parcel for both San Francisco's Presidio fort and Mission Dolores.
3. Native American shellmounds exist on the quarry parcel
1. Archaeologist Shirley Drye has extensively documented Native American/Indigenous sites and presence at the Pacifica Quarry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=676Hgz/WWZM
2. Between 1967-1973 Caltrans in two separate archaeological digs extensively documented Native American presence in and adjacent to the Pacifica Quarry.
3. Numerous Native American artifacts were found during the Construction of the Calera Creek Water Treatment Plant (completed September 2000)
Former Pacifica Planning Commissioner Todd Bray in 2010 stated:
"What is left off the list is archeology, meaning things like Ohlone Indian burial sites similar to those found during construction of the Calera Creek Water Treatment Plant but destroyed anyway (source: Pacifica Village Draft Environmental Impact Report). Of note in the same EIR was the apparent misplacement of several Ohlone artifacts such as extremely rare, intact Ohlone fishing nets that 'disappeared' without explanation.'''
9. City of Pacifica's protest that because a federally-recognized tribe does not oppose this development as having cultural asset value is moot as the occupants of the Pacifica Quarry between 12 million years ago and 1783 were almost completely exterminated by genocide, smallpox, and syphilis.
Randall Milliken, "A time of little choice" ", the Disintegration of Tribal Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area (1769-1810) stated
"Although specific centers of resistance to Spanish domination arose again and again, nothing stopped the stream of migrants south and west to the missions. By the end of 1817 the greater part of the Coast Mikwok and Patwin speakers on the north side o fSan Francisco bay and the Yokuts-speakers along the San Joaquin River to the East of teh Bay Area had moved to the missions. By the time active proselytization came to a 5 halt, in the early 1830s, all tribal lands within 40 miles to the North of San Francisco Bay and 80 miles to the East were empty of Villages (see Philips 1993).
