Agenda — Temecula City Council, April 12, 2022 (part 3 of 4)

Diego to ensure compliance with the City of San Diego Historical Resources Guidelines and oversight of survey and identification methods and resource evaluations.

Sweetwater Reservoir, Water Main Replacement, San Diego County, CA.

Cultural Resources Principal Investigator. ESA was retained by Sweetwater Authority to prepare an IS/MND for the replacement of a 36-inch pipeline leading from Sweetwater Dam. Sweetwater Dam was originally constructed in the late 19`" century and was subject to upgrades in 1917. ESA conducted a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Assessment including archival research, pedestrian, survey, historical research, Native American outreach, and the preparation of a technical report documenting archaeological and historic -architectural resources that might be impacted by the project. The study concluded that features that would be altered by the project that were contributing elements to the historic dam would need to be replaced in kind. Monica directed the team of researchers which conducted this work, assisted in evaluating project impacts to the dam, and facilitated in the development of appropriate mitigation.

California Department of Water Resources, Perris Dam Mitigation Area, Riverside County, CA. Cultural Resources Senior Reviewer. ESA prepared a Phase I cultural resources survey report for the project which includes a creation/restoration program within the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority mitigation area with the purpose of creating/restoring riparian habitat that is biologically equivalent or superior to that which is being impacted as a result of the Perris Dam Remediation Program being carried out at Lake Perris. The study concluded that the area is sensitive for archaeological resources and additional work was recommended. Monica served as the Senior Reviewer for the Phase I cultural resources survey report.

Bureau of Land Management, Lakeside and Ridgecrest Abandoned Mine Lands Archaeological Inventory, San Diego and Kern Counties, CA. Cultural Resources Principal Investigator. ESA has been retained to provide cultural resources services to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in connection with the Abandoned Mine Lands program. The BLM proposes to conduct remediation of physical safety hazards associated with Abandoned Mine Lands. Remediation would consist of backfilling or closing off mine shafts, adits, and prospects. ESA prepared archaeological inventory reports documenting the abandoned mines, in compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA.

Subject: Sacred Lands File search request for the Santa Gertrudis Bicycle/Trail Undercrossing at Margarita Road Project (D201601440.00)
To whom it may concern:

Environmental Science Associates (ESA) has been retained by the City Temecula Planning Department (City) to conduct a cultural resources assessment for the Santa Gertrudis Bicycle/Trail Undercrossing at Margarita Road Project (Project) in support of environmental documentation pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Project would design and construct a bicycle/multi-use trail undercrossing for the existing Santa Gertrudis Creek Trail. The existing trail crosses Margarita Road in the City of Temecula, which is a heavily traveled four -lane divided collector roadway. The proposed undercrossing will improve safety at this location by removing the need for existing at -grade roadway crossing for the trail. As depicted in the attached map, the Project area is located in the City of Temecula within Riverside County, within an unsectioned portion of Township 7 South, Range 3 West on the Murrieta, CA 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle.

In an effort to provide an adequate appraisal of all potential effects to cultural resources that may result from the proposed Project, ESA is requesting that a records search be conducted for sacred lands or traditional cultural properties that may exist within the Project area.

Thank you for your time and cooperation regarding this matter. To expedite the delivery of search results, please fax them to 619.719.4201, or email them to [email protected]. Please contact me at 619.241.9238 or at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Vader:

PARLIAMENTARIAN
Russell Attebery
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1 (c), attached is a consultation list of tribes Karuk
that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the above -listed project. Please note that the intent of the AB 52 amendments to CEQA is to avoid and/or

COMMISSIONER
mitigate impacts to tribal cultural resources, (Pub. Resources Code §21084.3 (a)) ("Public Marshall McKay
agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource.") Wintun
Public Resources Code sections 21080.3.1 and 21084.3(c) require CEQA lead agencies to

COMMISSIONER
consult with California Native American tribes that have requested notice from such agencies William Mungary
of proposed projects in the geographic area that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with Paiute/White Mountain
Apache
the tribes on projects for which a Notice of Preparation or Notice of Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration has been filed on or after July 1, 2015. Specifically, Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1 (d) provides:

COMMISSIONER
Julie Tumamait-
Stenslie
Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a Chumash
public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated

COMMISSIONER
California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by [Vacant]
means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the

COMMISSIONER
California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section. [Vacant]
The AB 52 amendments to CEQA law does not preclude initiating consultation with the tribes

EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction prior to receiving requests for Christina Snider
notification of projects in the tribe's areas of traditional and cultural affiliation. The Native Porno
American Heritage Commission (NAHC) recommends, but does not require, early consultation as a best practice to ensure that lead agencies receive sufficient information about cultural resources in a project area to avoid damaging effects to tribal cultural resources.

NAHC HEADQUARTERS
1550 Harbor Boulevard The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that agencies should also include with their Suite 100
notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been West Sacramento,
completed on the area of potential effect (APE), such as:

California 95691
(916) 373-3710
[email protected]

1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of NAHC.ca.gov
the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to:

Page 1 of 2 ends

• A listing of any and all known cultural resources that have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites;
• Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response; • Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate, or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE; and
• If a survey is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.

2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including:
• Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.

All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Code section 6254.10.

3. The result of any Sacred Lands File (SLF) check conducted through the Native American Heritage Commission was positive. Please contact the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians on the attached list for more information.

4. Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the APE; and

5. Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the APE.

Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NAHC and CHRIS are not exhaustive and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.

This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event that they do, having the information beforehand will help to facilitate the consultation process.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC. With your assistance, we can assure that our consultation list remains current.

If you have any questions, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

Subject: Santa Gertrudis Bicycle/Trail Undercrossing at Margarita Road Project Dear Chairperson Santos:

Environmental Science Associates (ESA) has been retained by the City of Temecula Planning Department (City) to conduct a cultural resources assessment for the Santa Gertrudis Bicycle/Trail Undercrossing at Margarita Road Project (Project) in support of environmental documentation pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 404 permit, requiring compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106). The Project would design and construct a bicycle/multi- use trail undercrossing for the existing Santa Gertrudis Creek Trail. The existing trail crosses Margarita Road in the City of Temecula, which is a heavily traveled four -lane divided collector roadway. The proposed undercrossing will improve safety at this location by removing the need for existing at -grade roadway crossing for the trail. The USACE is the lead federal agency responsible for complying with Section 106.

The Project is located at the intersection of Margarita Road, and the south side of Santa Gertrudis Creek, in the City of Temecula, Riverside County, California. The enclosed map shows the Project area is located within an unsectioned portion of Township 7 South, Range 3 West on the Murrieta, CA 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle.

A records search of the Project area plus a 1-mile buffer (study area) was requested through the Eastern Information Center (EIC) on December 8, 2020. The EIC search results have not been received by ESA at this time. A Sacred Lands File search was conducted by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on December 28, 2020. The results were positive.

In an effort to assist USACE with their Section 106 identification and consultation efforts, ESA is reaching out to Native American Tribes who are culturally and traditionally affiliated with the study area and vicinity. The NAHC identified you as someone who is affiliated with the study area, and as someone who may have knowledge of resources in the area or an interest in the Project. We are writing to request your input on resources that may be within or nearby the study area, and to solicit any concerns you may have regarding the Project.
