Police
Law enforcement services are provided to the project site via The Visalia Police Department (VPD).

The VPD will continue to provide police protection services to the proposed project site following project implementation. The VPD headquarters are located approximately 3.6 miles Northeast of the proposed project site. VPD Substation District 2 is located approximately 2.3 miles Southeast of the project site.

Schools
The proposed project site is located within the Visalia Unified School District (VUSD) from Kindergarten through 12th Grade. The District includes 25 elementary schools, four middle schools, four traditional high schools, and alternative education programs. The nearest school is located approximately .63 miles West (El Diamante High School).

Regulatory Setting
California Fire Code
The California Fire Code (Title 24, Part 9 of the California Code of Regulations) establishes regulations to safeguard against hazards of fire, explosion, or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, 1201
3-83
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 structures, and premises. The provisions of the Fire Code apply to the construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, equipment, use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal, and demolition of every building or structure throughout the State of California. The Fire Code includes regulations regarding fire-resistance-rated construction, fire protection systems such as alarm and sprinkler systems, fire services features such as fire apparatus access roads, means of egress, fire safety during construction and demolition, and wildland-urban interface areas.

City of Visalia Fire Department Plan Check and Hydrant Ordinance Visalia’s requirements for new construction include provisions for the Fire Department to review building and site plans prior to the issuance of any permit. The Fire Department ensures that proposed projects will be adequately served by water, and accessible to emergency vehicles. The Department also enforces the City’s Hydrant Ordinance, which states that subdividers are responsible for the installation of water mains and hydrants and determines the minimum spacing for fire hydrants.

Street dimensions are scrutinized to ensure that space will be preserved for ladder trucks to be stabilized, and for emergency vehicles to turn around. Basic requirements in the City’s subdivision ordinance include 52-foot minimum right-of-way widths and a 53-foot turning radius for cul-de-sacs.

City of Visalia General Plan
The 2030 General Plan includes the policies related to public services that correlate to the proposed project:
• PSCU-P-33: Coordinate land use and development with school location and site design, working with the Visalia Unified School District and other districts to ensure that adequate facilities are available and integrated with neighborhoods.

Discussion
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable serve ratios, response times of other performance objectives for any of the public services:
a. Fire protection?
Less than Significant Impact: The VFD will provide fire protection services to the proposed development. The closest fire station is Station #53, located .77 miles Northeast of the project site at 5025 W Walnut Ave. The Fire Department uses the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard for fire protection services, which requires 1 responder per 1,000 residents. The addition of 136 residential units will increase the demand for fire protection services. The city currently has .48 responders per 1,000 residents. By 2030, the city expects growth up to a total of 210,000 residents. This would result in .32 responders per 1,000 residents. This will require an additional 85 on-duty responders by 2030 to meet 1 responder per 1,000 residents, or 41 new responders to meet the current ratio. The existing fire stations are placed to provide optimum service, however new stations will be needed to support the expanding city. To support the expansion of fire services, a development impact fee of $2,002 per gross acre will be paid for fire services. The total development impact fee for fire services would be $138,839. 1202
3-84
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 The timing of when new fire service facilities would be required or details about size and location cannot be known until such facilities are planned and proposed, and any attempt to analyze impacts to a potential future facility would be speculative. As new or expanded fire service facilities become necessary, construction or expansion projects would be subject to their own separate CEQA review in order to identify and mitigate any potential environmental impacts.

Therefore, the impact is less than significant.
b. Police protection?
Less than Significant Impact: The VPD will provide services to the proposed development. The VPD headquarters are located approximately 3.6 miles Northeast of the proposed project site.

VPD Substation District 2 is located approximately 2.3 miles Southeast of the project site. The development would increase the demand for police service with the addition of 136 residential units. The VPD does not establish service standards either in terms of officers per thousand residents or in incident response time but plans to maintain the current ratio of 1.7 officers per 1,000 residents. The Department has 143 sworn officers working out of two districts, as well as seven reserve sworn officers, 64 civilian officers, and 65 volunteers. The demand for additional officers and equipment will be compensated by the development impact fee of $ 1,832 per acre of Low-Density Housing. The total development impact fee for police protection services would be $127,049.

The timing of when new police service facilities would be required or details about size and location cannot be known until such facilities are planned and proposed, and any attempt to analyze impacts to a potential future facility would be speculative. As new or expanded police service facilities become necessary, construction or expansion projects would be subject to their own separate CEQA review in order to identify and mitigate any potential environmental impacts. Therefore, the impact is less than significant. c. Schools?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project is within the (VUSD) from Kindergarten through 12th Grade. The District includes 25 elementary schools, four middle schools, four traditional high schools, and alternative education programs. The City of Visalia predicts the generation rates shown below in Table 3-17.

Table 3-17: Student Generation Rates, City of Visalia General Plan 1203
3-85
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Since the proposed project includes the addition of 136 single family homes, the number of students will increase by approximately 95. The proposed project site is located within the Planning Area’s limits and therefore, growth associated with the Project has been planned and expected. In addition to the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan, future development is required to pay development impact fees to the school districts at the time of building permit issuance. The City of Visalia charges $4.41 per square foot of residential development. This would total up to $1,079,568. These impact fees are used by the school districts to maintain existing and develop new facilities, as needed. Therefore, the impact is less than significant. d. Parks?

Less than Significant Impact: The addition of 136 new residential units would result in more use of the existing parks. Parks within a half-mile to one-mile radius that would service the proposed development include Sunset Park and John Combs Park. The project plans to include 3.7 acres of parkland with walking trails. Since the project would not lower the existing level of services for parks, and the proposed project would contribute its fair share to parks facilities through in-lieu fees, the impact is less than significant.
e. Other public facilities?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project would be required to pay a development impact fee for Public Facilities, including for the Civic Center, Corporation Yard, and Libraries. The fees for these are $602 per single family unit. This is a total of $81,872 for Public Facilitates.

Additional development fees will be paid to offset the increased demand for public services related to transportation, water, wastewater, groundwater recharge, storm drainage, and general governmental services. Fees for transportation, water, wastewater, and general government are based on building square footage and will be calculated prior to the issuance of building permits.

Fees for groundwater recharge and storm drainage are based on site acreage.

While the payment of development fees could result in the construction of new or altered public service facilities, no specific projects have been identified at this time. As new or expanded public service facilities become necessary, construction or expansion projects would be subject to their own separate CEQA review in order to identify and mitigate any potential environmental impacts.

Therefore, the impact is less than significant.

Environmental Setting
There are 40 park facilities totaling 678 acres within the Visalia Planning Area. The City of Visalia provides diverse types of parks and open space facilities, or park types, to meet park and open space recreation needs of the community. Park types include:
• Pocket Parks: A park typically between one-half and two acres in size intended to serve the needs of a specific neighborhood within a half-mile radius. There are currently 17 pocket parks in Visalia. • Neighborhood Parks: A park typically 2 to 5 acres in size that provides basic recreation activities for one or more neighborhoods. There are currently 19 neighborhood parks in Visalia. • Community Parks: A park typically ranging from 5 to 12 acres in size or larger, which are intended to serve the recreational needs of a larger area of the city. There are currently 4 community parks in Visalia.
• Large City Parks: A park generally larger than 40 acres in size intended to serve the recreational needs of all city residents and to create opportunities for contact with the natural environment.

These parks may include a concentration of sports fields, golf courses, and areas for picnicking and passive enjoyment of open space. There are currently 2 large city parks in Visalia. • Natural Corridors and Greenways: A network of greenways of varying size intended to serve the recreational needs of city residents. These parks may include facilities such as bikeways, walkways, and riding trails, and are primarily developed along the city’s waterways. There is a total of 196 acres of natural corridors and greenways.

The Visalia Planning Area additionally contains two county parks and a public golf course. The golf course is not counted to the total amount of parkland. The Visalia General Plan states a total parkland standard of five acres of city parkland per 1,000 residents.

Regulatory Setting
Quimby Act
The 1975 Quimby Act (California Government Code section 66477) authorized cities and counties to pass ordinances requiring that developers set aside land, donate conservation easements, or pay fees 1205
3-87
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 for park improvements. The Act states that the dedication requirement of parkland can be a minimum of three acres per thousand residents or more and up to five acres per thousand residents if the existing ratio is greater than the minimum standard. Revenues generated through in-lieu fees collected and the Quimby Act cannot be used for the operation and maintenance of park facilities. In 1982, the Act was substantially amended. The amendments further defined acceptable uses of or restrictions on Quimby funds, provided acreage/population standards and formulas for determining the exaction, and indicated that the exactions must be closely tied (nexus) to a project’s impacts as identified through studies required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

City of Visalia General Plan
The 2030 General Plan includes the policies related to parks and recreation that correlate to the proposed project:
• PSCU-P-2: Strive to achieve and maintain a citywide standard of at least five acres of neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 residents.
• PSCU-P-7: Promote development of small pocket parks or play lots dispersed throughout new neighborhoods and in existing neighborhoods, where needed, on a voluntary basis in coordination with new infill development, consistent with the following planning guidelines:
o Size: 0.5 to 2 acres; and
o Facilities: the specific features of pocket parks should address the anticipated needs of nearby residents and/or workers. In a residential environment, the needs of small children and seniors should be emphasized. In mixed-use or commercial areas, lunchtime use by office workers and shoppers should be facilitated. • PSCU-P-10: Adopt and implement parkland dedication requirements for all subdivisions, consistent with the Quimby Act and Policy PSCU-P-2. This requirement will be integrated with the City’s Park Acquisition Development Fee Program.

Discussion
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project is anticipated to increase the Visalia population by approximately 407 residents. Based on the desired parkland ratio of five acres per 1000 residents identified in the Visalia General Plan, the Project would need to provide approximately 2.03 acres of parkland/open space. The project has 3.7 acres of parkland, more than the required amount. The impact is less than significant.
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact: The proposed project does not include any recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of any recreational facilities that would have an adverse physical effect on the environment. There is no impact.

Environmental Setting
Vehicular Access
Vehicular access to the project is available via South Roeben Street on the East side of the site, and South Shirk Road (Road 92) on the West side of the site. The project includes a network of local streets that provide full access to the project site.

Parking
Each Single-Family home will contain at least a two-car garage, as well as room for two more cars in the driveway. Street parking will be limited due to reduced street widths. During construction, workers will utilize existing parking areas and/or temporary construction staging areas for parking of vehicles and equipment.

Regulatory Setting
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b): Criteria for Analyzing Transportation Impacts (1) Land Use Projects. Vehicle miles traveled exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact. Generally, projects within one-half mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing high-quality transit corridor should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects that decrease vehicle miles traveled in the project area compared to existing conditions should be considered to have a less than significant transportation impact.
(2) Transportation Projects. Transportation projects that reduce, or have no impact on, vehicle miles traveled should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. For roadway capacity projects, agencies have discretion to determine the appropriate measure of transportation impact consistent with CEQA and other applicable requirements. To the extent that such impacts have already been adequately addressed at a programmatic level, a lead agency may tier from that analysis as provided in Section 15152. (3) Qualitative Analysis. If existing models or methods are not available to estimate the vehicle miles traveled for the particular project being considered, a lead agency may analyze the project’s vehicle miles traveled qualitatively. Such a qualitative analysis would evaluate factors such as the 1207
3-89
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 availability of transit, proximity to other destinations, etc. For many projects, a qualitative analysis of construction traffic may be appropriate.
(4) Methodology. A lead agency has discretion to choose the most appropriate methodology to evaluate a project’s vehicle miles traveled, including whether to express the change in absolute terms, per capita, per household or in any other measure. A lead agency may use models to estimate a project’s vehicle miles traveled and may revise those estimates to reflect professional judgment based on substantial evidence. Any assumptions used to estimate vehicle miles traveled and any revisions to model outputs should be documented and explained in the environmental document prepared for the project. The standard of adequacy in Section 15151 shall apply to the analysis described in this section.

City of Visalia Standard Specifications
The City of Visalia Standard Specifications are developed and enforced by the City of Visalia Public Works Department to guide the development and maintenance of streets within the City. The crosssection drawings contained in the City’s Standard Specifications dictate the development of roads within the City.

City of Visalia General Plan:

The 2030 General Plan includes the policies related to transportation that correlate to the proposed project:
• T-P-3: Design and build future roadways that complement and enhance the existing network, as shown on the General Plan Circulation Diagram, to ensure that each new and existing roadway continues to function as intended.
• T-P-5: Take advantage of opportunities to consolidate driveways, access points, and curb cuts along existing arterials when a change in development or a change in intensity occurs or when traffic operation or safety warrants.
• T-P-10: Manage local residential streets to limit average daily vehicle volumes to 1,500 or less and maintain average vehicle speeds between 15 and 25 miles per hour. • T-P-22: Require all residential subdivisions to be designed to discourage use of local streets as a bypass to congested arterials, and when feasible, require access to residential development to be from collector streets.
• T-P-23: Require that all new developments provide right-of-way, which may be dedicated or purchased, and improvements (including necessary grading, installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, parkway/landscape strips, bike, and parking lanes) other city street design standards.

Design standards will be updated following General Plan adoption. • T-P-24: Require that proposed developments make necessary off-site improvements if the location and traffic generation of a proposed development will result in congestion on major streets or failure to meet LOS D during peak periods or if it creates safety hazards. • T-P-26: Require that future commercial developments or modifications to existing developments be designed with limited points of automobile ingress and egress, including shared access, onto major streets.
• T-P-40: Develop a community-wide trail system along selected planning area waterways, consistent with the Waterways and Trails Master Plan and General Plan diagrams. 1208

Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Discussion
a) Would the project conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities? Less than Significant Impact: The existing General Plan established LOS “D” as the minimum acceptable LOS standard on city facilities. A traffic study prepared for the project (Appendix E) concluded that the project would not result in a significant increase in vehicle or truck trips.

Table 3-18 shows the estimated vehicle trips generated for the proposed project. The proposed project is expected to generate approximately 1,339 daily trips, including 99 AM peak hour trips (26 inbound, 73 outbound) and 133 PM peak hour trips (84 inbound, 49 outbound).

*Regression equations used based on procedure in Trip Generation Handbook, 3rd Edition, September 2017 TABLE 3-18: PROPOSED PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
According to the City of Visalia’s Procedures for Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), March 2021, residential developments generating less than 200 peak hour trips do not require a TIA. Therefore, as per the City’s TIA guidelines, it is anticipated the project will not require a TIA.

Whitendale Avenue does not currently exist between Shirk Road and Roeben Street. Phase 1 of the project is expected to generate approximately 464 daily trips, including 35 AM peak hour trips (9 inbound, 26 outbound) and 45 PM peak hour trips (28 inbound, 17 outbound). The number of trips generated during both the AM and PM peak hours for Phase 1 are significantly less than the total project and less than the City’s TIA guidelines that would require additional analysis.

Given that Whitendale Avenue does not currently exist, that few trips will be generated during Phase 1, and that the City’s TIA guidelines do not require analysis for residential projects generating less than 200 peak hour trips, it is not anticipated that there will be any significant impact to adjacent intersections during Phase 1 or that additional analysis should be required. The City of Visalia Traffic Impact Fee facilities list includes traffic signal projects which are not individually identified. The project will pay its fair share of traffic impact fees to support payment of the signals. There is a less than significant impact.
b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b)?
Less than Significant Impact: The City of Visalia’s VMT Thresholds and Implementation Guidelines (Guidelines) document, prepared by LSA and adopted on March 15, 2021, provides guidance for determining a project’s transportation impacts based on vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The Guidelines 1209
3-91
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 acknowledge that certain activities and projects may result in a reduction in VMT and GHG emissions and, therefore, a less than significant impact to transportation and circulation. A variety of projects may be screened out of a complicated VMT analysis due to the presumption described in the TA regarding the occurrence of less than significant impacts.

The Guidelines state: “Residential, office, or mixed‐use projects that are consistent with the City’s General Plan and located within green‐colored VMT zones, as shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, respectively, are presumed to have similar low VMT profiles and could be screened out from further VMT analysis.” The State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research document entitled Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA dated December 2018 (OPR Guidelines) provides the reasoning for the screen out. The OPR Guidelines state: “Residential and office projects that are located in areas with low VMT, and that incorporate similar features (i.e., density, mix of uses, transit accessibility), will tend to exhibit similarly low VMT. Maps created with VMT data, for example from a travel survey or a travel demand model, can illustrate areas that are currently below threshold VMT. Because new development in such locations would likely result in a similar level of VMT, such maps may be used to screen out residential and office projects from needing to prepare a detailed VMT analysis.”
The Project is consistent with Visalia’s General Plan land use, and the Project is within a green-colored VMT zone, shown in Figure 3-11. Therefore, the Project can be screened out will not need a VMT analysis. There is a less than significant impact.

No Impact: The project does not propose any incompatible uses or include any design features that could increase traffic hazards. The project does include two new vehicle access points on S Roeben Street and S Shirk Road. This improvement will be subject to review by the City’s engineer to ensure the new access point does not pose any safety risks due to project design. The proposed project would not substantially increase hazards in or around the project area there is no impact. d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact: This project would not result in inadequate emergency access. Emergency access to the site would be via S Roeben Street and S Shirk Road. During the first phase of construction, the access on S Shirk Road would not be built yet. However, a temporary emergency access will connect to W Whitendale Avenue. A network of local roads within the proposed project property provides full access to all buildings within the development. The Project would have no impact on emergency access.

   
Environmental Setting
The Project area is in the Southern Valley Yokuts ethnographic territory of the San Joaquin Valley. The Yokuts are a sub-group of the Penutian language that covers much of coastal and central California and Oregon. The Yokuts were generally divided into three major groups, the Northern Valley Yokuts, the Southern Valley Yokuts, and the Foothill Yokuts. The Project area is likely within the Telamni Yokuts territory. The main village for this area was Waitatshuulul, which was approximately 3 miles east of the Project site along Packwood Creek Primary Yokuts villages were typically located along lakeshores and major stream courses, with scattered secondary or temporary camps and settlements located near gathering areas in the foothills. Prior to Euro-American contact, the Yokuts were one of the densest populations of Native Americans in western North America due to the substantial natural resources surrounding Tulare Lake. According to the Native American Heritage Commission, eight Native American tribal groups can be associated with the Project area, including the Big Sandy Rancheria of Western Mono Indians, the Dunlap Band of Mono Indians, the Tubatulabals of Kern Valley, the Wukasache Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band, the Kern Valley Indian Community, the Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi Yokut Tribe, the North Fork Mono Tribe and the Tule River Indian Tribe.

Cultural Resources Record Search
On May 20, 2022, Taylored Archaeology requested a cultural resource records search from the SSJVIC of the CHRIS at California State University in Bakersfield, California. The purpose of this request was 1213
3-95
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 to identify any prehistoric or historical resources on or near the Project site that had been previously recorded within the Project boundary and a 0.5-mile radius of the Project area and identify and review prior cultural resource investigations completed in or near the Project boundary. SSJVIC staff researched historical USGS topographic maps, reports of previous cultural resource investigations, archaeological site and survey base maps, cultural resource records (DPR forms) as well as listings of the Historic Properties Directory of the Office of Historic Preservation, General Land Office Maps, Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility, and the California Inventory of Historic Resources.

According to the SSJVIC records search, there has been two previous cultural resource investigations within the Project area. One is a literature review of the Project region and the second is a book on conflicts between Native Americans and California gold miners during the 1850s Gold Rush in Mariposa. Neither of these reports included archaeological surveys. There have been five cultural resource studies conducted within a 0.5-mile radius of the project. There have been no cultural resources were previously recorded within the Project area. or within the 0.5-mile radius.

Additionally, no recorded cultural resources are recorded within the Project There is two cultural resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the project site. Both are historic-era, rural, single-family residences. In addition to the SSJVIC research, Taylored Archaeology further reviewed the cultural resources 0.5-miles from the Project boundary. Using Google Earth aerial maps, one of the historic homes was determined to have been demolished in 2021.

Native American Consultation
The State requires lead agencies to consider the potential effects of proposed projects and consult with California Native American tribes during the local planning process for the purpose of protecting Traditional Tribal Cultural Resources through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Pursuant to PRC Section 21080.3.1, the lead agency shall begin consultation with the California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographical area of the proposed project. Such significant cultural resources are either sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a tribe which is either on or eligible for inclusion in the California Historic Register or local historic register, or, the lead agency, at its discretion, and support by substantial evidence, choose to treat the resources as a Tribal Cultural Resources (PRC Section 21074(a)(1-2)).

Additional information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission’s Sacred Lands File per PRC Section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Please also note that PRC Section 21082.3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

The site is currently vacant and has been routinely disturbed as part of the agricultural operations. If any artifacts are inadvertently discovered during ground-disturbing activities, existing federal, State, and local laws, and regulations as well as the mitigation measures will require construction activities to cease until such artifacts are properly examined and determined not to be of significance by a qualified cultural resource professional.

On May 20, 2022, Taylored Archaeology sent an email to the NAHC requesting a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search to identify places in or near the Project area that may be tribal cultural resources, including sacred sites or other resources of importance. The results of this search were negative.

However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Following AB 52, Native American Tribes that could potentially be impacted by the Project were contacted. The Tribes that were formally noticed of this Project were the Big Sandy Rancheria of Western Mono Indians, Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi Yokut Tribe, Dunlap Band of Mono Indians, Tubatulabals of Kern Valley, Tule River Indian Tribe, Kern Valley Indian Community, North Fork Mono Tribe, and the Wuksache Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band.

The Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi-Yokut Tribe responded regarding their concerns. A representative of the Tribe stated “Due to Tribal history and knowledge of the project area, the Tribe has concerns and is requesting that an archaeological firm be hired to conduct a pre-construction survey, a records search with the NAHC and CHRIS center, and monitoring of any ground disturbing activities. We request to be put in contact with the archaeological firm hired so we can maintain updates about the project.” Regulatory Setting

Historical resources are defined by CEQA as resources that are listed in or eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources, resources that are listed in a local historical resource register, or resources that are otherwise determined to be historical under California Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 or California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5. Under these definitions Historical Resources can include archaeological resources, Tribal cultural resources, and Paleontological Resources.

Archaeological Resources
As stated above, archaeological resources may be considered historical resources. If they do not meet the qualifications under the California Public Resources Code 21084.1 or California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5, they are instead determined to be “unique” as defined by the CEQA Statute Section 21083.2. A unique archaeological resource is an artifact, object, or site that: (1) contains information (for which there is a demonstrable public interest) needed to answer important scientific research questions; (2) has a special and particular quality, such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type; or (3) is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person.

Tribal Cultural Resource (TCR)
Tribal Cultural Resources can include site features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, or objects, which are of cultural value to a Tribe. It is either listed on or eligible for the CA Historic Register or a local historic register or determined by the lead agency to be treated as TCR.

Paleontological Resources
For the purposes of this section, “paleontological resources” refers to the fossilized plant and animal remains of prehistoric species. Paleontological Resources are a limited scientific and educational resource and are valued for the information they yield about the history of the earth and its ecology.

Fossilized remains, such as bones, teeth, shells, and leaves, are found in geologic deposits (i.e., rock formations). Paleontological resources generally include the geologic formations and localities in which the fossils are collected.

Native American Reserve (NAR)
This designation recognizes tribal trust and reservation lands managed by a Native American Tribe under the United States Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs over which the County 1215
3-97
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 has no land use jurisdiction. The County encourages adoption of tribal management plans for these areas that consider compatibility and impacts upon adjacent area facilities and plans.

National Historic Preservation Act
The National Historic Preservation Act was adopted in 1966 to preserve historic and archeological sites in the United States. The Act created the National Register of Historic Places, the list of National Historic Landmarks, and the State Historic Preservation offices.

California Historic Register
The California Historic Register was developed as a program to identify, evaluate, register, and protect Historical Resources in California. Historical resources may include, but are not limited to, “any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically or archaeologically significant” (PRC §5020.1[j]). In addition, a resource included in a local register of historical resources or identified as significant in a local survey conducted in accordance with the state guidelines are also considered historic resources under California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5020.1.

According to CEQA guidelines §15064.5 (a)(3), criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources includes the following:
• Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage.
• Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past. • Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values. • Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

According to CEQA guidelines §21074 (a)(1), criteria for tribal cultural resources includes the following:
• Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either of the following:
o Included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources.
o Included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1.

Protection of cultural resources within California is additionally regulated by PRC §5097.5, which prohibits destruction, defacing, or removal of any historic or prehistoric cultural features on land under the jurisdiction of State or local authorities.

City of Visalia General Plan
The 2030 General Plan includes the policies related to tribal resources that correlate to the proposed project:

OSC-P-42: Establish requirements to avoid potential impacts to sites suspected of being archeologically, paleontologically, or historically significant or of concern, by:
1216
3-98
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 • Requiring a records review for development proposed in areas that are considered archaeologically or paleontologically sensitive;
• Determining the potential effects of development and construction on archaeological or paleontological resources (as required by CEQA);
• Requiring pre-construction surveys and monitoring during any ground disturbance for all development in areas of historical and archaeological sensitivity (defined as areas identified according to the National Historic Preservation Act as part of the Section 106 process); and • Implementing appropriate measures to avoid the identified impacts, as conditions of project approval.

Discussion
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:
i. Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k), or Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: The project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources. Based on the results of the records search, no previously recorded tribal cultural resources are located within the project site. Although no cultural resources were identified, the presence of remains or unanticipated cultural resources under the ground surface is possible. Therefore, Tribes that can potentially be impacted were consulted. The Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi-Yokut Tribe responded regarding their concerns. A representative of the Tribe stated “Due to Tribal history and knowledge of the project area, the Tribe has concerns and is requesting that an archaeological firm be hired to conduct a pre-construction survey, a records search with the NAHC and CHRIS center, and monitoring of any ground disturbing activities. We request to be put in contact with the archaeological firm hired so we can maintain updates about the project.” Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1, CUL-2, CUL-3, and CUL-4 will ensure that impacts to this checklist item will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation. ii. A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.

Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: The lead agency has not determined there to be any known tribal cultural resources located within the project area. Additionally, there are not believed to be any paleontological resources or human remains buried within the project area’s vicinity. However, if resources were found to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resources to a California Native American Tribe. Implementation of Mitigation 1217
3-99
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that any impacts resulting from project implementation remain less than significant with mitigation incorporation.

Mitigation Measures for Impacts to Cultural Resources:

Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If previously unknown resources are encountered before or during grading activities, construction shall stop in the immediate vicinity of the find and a qualified historical resources specialist shall be consulted to determine whether the resource requires further study. The qualified historical resources specialist shall make recommendations to the City on the measures that shall be implemented to protect the discovered resources, including but not limited to excavation of the finds and evaluation of the finds in accordance with Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines and the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance.

If the resources are determined to be unique historical resources as defined under Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, measures shall be identified by the monitor and recommended to the Lead Agency. Appropriate measures for significant resources could include avoidance or capping, incorporation of the site in green space, parks, or open space, or data recovery excavations of the finds. No further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until the Lead Agency approves the measures to protect these resources. Any historical artifacts recovered as a result of mitigation shall be provided to a City‐approved institution or person who is capable of providing long‐term preservation to allow future scientific study.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2: In the event that human remains are unearthed during excavation and grading activities of any future development project, all activity shall cease immediately. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 7050.5, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98(a). If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner shall within 24 hours notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC shall then contact the most likely descendent of the deceased Native American, who shall then serve as the consultant on how to proceed with the remains. Pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98(b), upon the discovery of Native American remains, the landowner shall ensure that the immediate vicinity, according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards or practices, where the Native American human remains are located is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until the landowner has discussed and conferred with the most likely descendants regarding their recommendations, if applicable, taking into account the possibility of multiple human remains. The landowner shall discuss and confer with the descendants all reasonable options regarding the descendants' preferences for treatment.

Mitigation Measure CUL-3: Prior to the start of construction, an archaeological firm shall be hired to conduct a pre-construction survey and submit a comprehensive report to the lead agency for review and approval prior to the start of construction. This report should document the findings of the preconstruction survey and include an assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed project on any identified archaeological resources. The plan should outline specific measures that will be implemented, such as construction phasing, site buffering, and artifact preservation, to protect the cultural resources, if any are discovered. To ensure compliance, the project approval should require that the archaeological survey report and the associated plan be prepared by a qualified archaeologist and that the survey and monitoring activities be conducted in accordance with relevant state and federal regulations and best practices. By requiring a comprehensive archaeological survey report and 1218
3-100
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 a detailed mitigation plan, the lead agency can ensure that any impacts to archaeological resources are avoided or minimized to the fullest extent possible.

Mitigation Measure CUL-4: During any ground disturbing activities, an archaeological firm shall be hired to monitor the Project Site. The monitoring should be conducted by a qualified archaeologist with experience in the region and in compliance with relevant state and federal regulations and best practices. The monitoring should include regular site inspections to identify any archaeological resources that may have been uncovered during ground-disturbing activities. If any resources are identified, the monitoring should also include documentation, mapping, and analysis of the resources, as well as the development of a mitigation plan to address any potential impacts to the resources. 1219

Environmental Setting
Wastewater
Sewer services are provided to the site by the City of Visalia. The City owns a Water Conservation Plant (WCP) to treat wastewater. Presently, the WCP’s permitted capacity as established by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is 20 million gallons per day (mgd). A planned upgrade will increase the capacity to 26 mgd. The WCP has a daily flow of 13 mgd. The City of Visalia operates a sewer system divided into eight service areas. The system currently has over 468 miles of sewer pipe.

Solid Waste
The City of Visalia provides residential waste pickup but has contracts with companies for other aspects. Sunset Waste Systems provides waste collection for commercial uses and processes recyclable material. Tulare County Compost and Biomass processes green waste.

The Tulare County Resource Management Agency manages some solid waste disposal. Programs include household hazardous waste disposal, electronics recycling, tire recovery, yard waste recycling, metal recycling and appliance recovery programs. The county landfills approximately 300,000 tons of waste per year, which is equivalent to about 5 pounds per person per day or one ton per county 1220
3-102
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 resident per year. The County operates three disposal sites: the Visalia Disposal Site, northwest of Visalia; the Woodville Disposal Site, southeast of Tulare; and the Teapot Dome Disposal Site, southwest of Porterville. These sites have a remaining capacity of 24,258,052 cubic yards, with a total capacity of 37,101,523 cubic yards.

Water
The California Water Service Company (Cal Water) distribute groundwater supply. Cal Water’s Visalia District supply wells extract groundwater from the Kaweah Groundwater Subbasin. The Cal Water system includes 75 operational groundwater wells, about one third of which have auxiliary power for backup. There are 519 miles of main pipeline in the system. The system includes two elevated 300,000-gallon storage tanks, an ion exchange treatment plant, four granular activated carbon filter plants and one nitrate blending facility.

The system currently has the capacity to pump 100,829 acre-feet per year (afy), all from groundwater.

This will be able to supply a growing population, as in 2010, 31,762 AF was needed. By 2030, the city is expected to use 43,002 afy.

Regulatory Setting
CalRecycle
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Natural Resources – Division 7 contains all current CalRecycle regulations regarding nonhazardous waste management in the state. These regulations include standards for the handling of solid waste, standards for the handling of compostable materials, design standards for disposal facilities, and disposal standards for specific types of waste.

Central Valley RWQCB
The Central Valley RWQCB requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for projects disturbing more than one acre of total land area. Because the project is greater than one acre, a SWPPP to manage stormwater generated during project construction will be required.

The Central Valley RWQCB regulates Wastewater Discharges to Land by establishing thresholds for discharged pollutants and implementing monitoring programs to evaluate program compliance. This program regulates approximately 1500 dischargers in the region.

The Central Valley RWQCB is also responsible for implementing the federal program, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NPDES Program is the federal permitting program that regulates discharges of pollutants to surface waters of the U.S. Under this program, a NPDES permit is required to discharge pollutants into Waters of the U.S. There are 350 permitted facilities within the Central Valley Region.

Cal Water Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) – Visalia District The UWMP describes the Visalia District service area, system demand and usage, available water resources, reliability of the water supply, and contingency planning for water shortage. It also contains a conservation section in compliance with SB X7-7 describing water usage reduction targets and implementation measures. The UWMP identifies five core programs for water conservation in the District that involve promotion of high-efficiency fixtures in residential settings, promotion of highefficiency irrigation systems, and public information and education. 1221

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 City of Visalia General Plan
The 2030 General Plan includes the objectives and policies related to utilities and service systemsthat correlate to the proposed project:
• PSCU-O-14: Provide for long-range community water needs by adopting best management practices for water use, conservation, groundwater recharge and wastewater and stormwater management.
• PSCU-P-46: Adopt and implement a Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance for new and/or refurbished development that exceeds mandated sizes, and ensure that all new City parks, streetscapes, and landscaped areas conform to the Ordinance’s requirements. The Ordinance should include provisions to optimize outdoor water use by:
o Promoting appropriate use of plants and landscaping;
o Establishing limitations on use of turf including size of turf areas and use of cool-season turf such as Fescue grasses, with exceptions for specified uses (e.g., recreation playing fields, golf courses, and parks);
o Establishing water budgets and penalties for exceeding them; o Requiring automatic irrigation systems and schedules, including controllers that incorporate weather-based or other self-adjusting technology; o Promoting the use of recycled water; and
o Minimizing overspray and runoff.
• PSCU-P-59: Require new developments to incorporate floodwater detention basins into project designs where consistent with the Stormwater Master Plan and the Groundwater Recharge Plan. • PSCU-P-60: Control urban and stormwater runoff and point and non-point discharge of pollutants.

As part of the City’s Stormwater Management Program, adopt and implement a Stormwater Management Ordinance to minimize stormwater runoff rates and volumes, control water pollution, and maximize groundwater recharge. New development will be required to include Low Impact Development features that reduce impermeable surface areas and increase infiltration.

Such features may include, but are not limited to:
o Canopy trees or shrubs to absorb rainwater;
o Grading that lengthens flow paths over permeable surfaces and increases runoff travel time to reduce the peak hour flow rate;
o Partially removing curbs and gutters from parking areas where appropriate to allow stormwater sheet flow into vegetated areas;
o Use of permeable paving in parking lots and other areas characterized by significant impervious surfaces;
o On-site stormwater detention, use of bioswales and bioretention basins to facilitate infiltration; and
o Integrated or subsurface water retention facilities to capture rainwater for use in landscape irrigation and other non-potable uses.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Discussion
a) Would the project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relation of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project would result in new water services. However, the proposed site has no change of use proposal. Visalia’s current system for water and wastewater have the capacity to manage the projected growth expected in the General Plan. To compensate for these services, new development will be required to pay impact fees. It is not anticipated that implementation of the proposed project would result in increased demand for any utility services beyond the planned conditions. There is a less than significant impact. b) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? Less than Significant Impact: Cal Water will provide water services. The City’s water supply source is comprised of 75 operational groundwater wells. The system currently has the capacity to pump 100,829 acre-feet per year (afy), all from groundwater. This will be able to supply a growing population, as in 2010, 31,762 AF was needed. By 2030, the city is expected to use 43,002 afy. Using average per-person water use in Visalia (183 gallons; 2020 Urban Water Management Plan) and the average household size in Visalia (2.99 persons; US Census Bureau), water demand for the proposed 136-unit residential development is estimated to be approximately 74,415 gallons of water daily, or about 83-acre feet per year. With the system capacity at 100,829 afy, there will be enough water supply for the proposed project. The project does not propose any new or expanded uses against the Visalia General Plan. The available water supply is expected to supply the projected population. In 2030, the projected demand is expected to 35,276 AF of groundwater, in 2035, there is expected to be 38,310 AF of groundwater, and in 2040 there is expected to be 41,258 AF of groundwater. To compensate for these services, new development will be required to pay impact fees for new water services, along with the reduced water use implementations from the polices set forth in the Visalia General Plan. Therefore, the impact is less than significant. c) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
Less than Significant Impact: The project does not propose any new or expanded uses and is therefore not anticipated to result in increased demand for wastewater treatment services beyond existing conditions in the Visalia General Plan. Additionally, the City’s MEIR has evaluated the site’s current and future wastewater service demand. The current capacity of the wastewater system is approximately 20 mgd. It currently receives 13 mgd, leaving an available 7 mgd. In addition, a future upgrade plans to increase the capacity to 26 mgd. Based on the average per-acre daily wastewater use (1,300 gallons; City of Visalia General Plan), the 69.35-acre project would produce approximately 90,155 mgd of wastewater.
1223
3-105
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Because the City’s sewer system has the capacity to meet the project site’s expected demand for wastewater treatment, and it is not anticipated that the project will increase the site’s demand for wastewater treatment, it can be inferred that the existing wastewater treatment system has adequate capacity to serve the proposed project. There is a less than significant impact. d) Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? No Impact: Sunset Waste Systems provides solid waste services to the proposed project site. The project does not propose any new or expanded uses and is therefore not anticipated to result in increased generation of solid waste beyond existing conditions. Additionally, the disposal sites are at less than half capacity. Because the City’s existing infrastructure has the capacity to accommodate the solid waste currently planned in the General Plan for expanded population, it can be inferred that the existing solid waste infrastructure has adequate capacity to serve the proposed project. The project would not generate solid waste more than State or Local Standards and there is no impact. e) Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
No Impact: This proposed project conforms to all applicable statutes and regulations related to solid waste disposal. The proposed project will comply with the adopted policies related to solid waste, and will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations pertaining to disposal of solid waste, including recycling. Therefore, the proposed project would have no impact on solid waste regulations.

Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, would the project exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
No Impact: The project is located on a flat area of agricultural and urban land which is considered to be at little risk of fire. Additionally, the proposed project site is not located within an SRA or a Very High FHSZ. There is no impact.
c) Would the project require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? Less than Significant Impact: The construction of the project involves adding new local residential streets, and new and relocated utilities. Utilities such as emergency water sources and power lines would be included as part of the proposed development, however all improvements would be subject to City standards and Fire Chief approval. The proposed project would not exacerbate fire risk and the impact would be less than significant.
d) Would the project expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire instability, or drainage changes? No Impact: The project site is not located in an area designated as a Fire Hazard Severity Zone and lands associated with the Project site are relatively flat. Therefore, the project would not be susceptible to downslope or downstream flooding or landslides as a result of post-fire instability or drainage changes. There is no impact.

Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation: This initial study/mitigated negative declaration found the project could have significant impacts on biological resources, hydrology and water quality, historical, and Tribal cultural resources. However, implementation of the identified mitigation measures for each respective section would ensure that impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporation.

3-109
Barr-Wood Subdivision
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2023 Less than Significant Impact: CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h) states that a Lead Agency shall consider whether the cumulative impact of a project is significant and whether the effects of the project are cumulatively considerable. The assessment of the significance of the cumulative effects of a project must, therefore, be conducted in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects. Due to the nature of the project and consistency with environmental policies, incremental contributions to impacts are considered less than cumulatively considerable. The proposed project would not contribute substantially to adverse cumulative conditions, or create any substantial indirect impacts (i.e., increase in population could lead to an increased need for housing, increase in traffic, air pollutants, etc). Impacts would be less than significant.
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less Than Significant Impact: The analyses of environmental issues contained in this Initial Study indicate that the project is not expected to have substantial impact on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Mitigation measures have been incorporated in the project design to reduce all potentially significant impacts to less than significant, which results in a less than significant impact to this checklist item.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2: In the event that human remains are unearthed during excavation and grading activities of any future development project, all activity shall cease immediately.

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 7050.5, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98(a). If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner shall within 24 hours notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC shall then contact the most likely descendent of the deceased Native American, who shall then serve as the consultant on how to proceed with the remains. Pursuant to PRC Section
5097.98(b), upon the discovery of Native American remains, the landowner shall ensure that the immediate vicinity, according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards or practices, where the Native American human remains are located is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until the landowner has discussed and conferred with the most likely descendants regarding their recommendations, if applicable, taking into account the possibility of multiple human remains.

The landowner shall discuss and confer with the descendants all reasonable options regarding the descendants' preferences for treatment.

Mitigation Measure CUL-3: Prior to the start of construction, an archaeological firm shall be hired to conduct a pre-construction survey and submit a comprehensive report to the lead agency for review and approval prior to the start of construction. This report should document the findings of the pre-construction survey and include an assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed project on any identified archaeological resources. The plan should outline specific measures that will be implemented, such as construction phasing, site buffering, and artifact preservation, to protect the cultural resources, if any are discovered. To ensure compliance, the project approval should require that the archaeological survey report and the associated plan be prepared by a qualified archaeologist and that the survey and monitoring activities be conducted in accordance with relevant state and federal regulations and best practices. By requiring a
comprehensive archaeological survey report and a detailed mitigation plan, the lead agency can ensure that any impacts to archaeological resources are avoided or minimized to the fullest extent possible.

Mitigation Measure CUL-4: During any ground disturbing
activities, an archaeological firm shall be hired to monitor the Project Site. The monitoring should be conducted by a qualified archaeologist with experience in the region and in compliance with relevant state and federal regulations and best practices.

The monitoring should include regular site inspections to identify any archaeological resources that may have been uncovered during ground-disturbing activities. If any resources are identified, the monitoring should also include documentation, mapping, and analysis of the resources, as well as the
development of a mitigation plan to address any potential impacts to the resources.

Mitigation Measure HYD-2: The Applicant shall require the building contractor to prepare and submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to the City 45 days prior to the start of work for approval. The contractor is responsible for understanding the State General Permit and instituting the SWPPP during construction. A SWPPP for site construction shall be developed prior to the initiation of grading and implemented for all construction activity on the Project site in excess of one (1) acre, or where the area of disturbance is less than one acre but is part of the Project’s plan of development that in total disturbs one or more acres. The SWPPP shall identify potential pollutant sources that may affect the quality of discharges to storm water and shall include specific BMPs to control the discharge of material from the site. The following BMP methods shall include, but would not be limited to:
• Dust control measures will be implemented to ensure success of all onsite activities to
control fugitive dust;
• A routine monitoring plan will be implemented to ensure success of all onsite erosion and sedimentation control measures; • Provisional detention basins, straw bales, erosion control blankets, mulching, silt fencing,
sand bagging, and soil stabilizers will be used;
• Soil stockpiles and graded slopes will be covered after two weeks of inactivity and 24
hours prior to and during extreme weather conditions; and, • BMPs will be strictly followed to prevent spills and discharges of pollutants onsite,
such as material storage, trash disposal, construction entrances, etc.

Manual for the Project shall include comprehensive procedures for maintenance and operations of any stormwater facilities to ensure long-term operation and maintenance of postconstruction stormwater controls. The maintenance manual shall require that stormwater BMP devices be inspected, cleaned, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance conditions. The manual shallrequire that devices be cleaned prior to the onset of the rainy season (i.e., mid-October) and immediately after the end of the rainy season (i.e., mid-May). The manual shall also require that all devices be checked after major storm events. The Development Maintenance Manual shall
include the following:
• Runoff shall be directed away from trash and loading dock areas;
• Bins shall be lined or otherwise constructed to reduce leaking of liquid wastes;
• Trash and loading dock areas shall be screened or walled to minimize offsite transport of trash; and
• Impervious berms, trench catch basin, drop inlets, or overflow containment structures nearby docks and trash areas shall be installed to minimize the potential for leaks, spills or wash down water to enter the drainage system.

Executive Summary
The developer 4Creeks, Inc. (4Creeks) seeks to construct the Barr-Wood Housing Subdivision (Project) on the corner of Roeben Street and West Whitendale Avenue in Visalia, California. Currently, the project site is 69.35 acres of farmland on APN 119-022-041. 4Creeks has tasked Soar Environmental Consulting Inc. (Soar Environmental) to provide a Biological Resources Assessment (BRA) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), prior to implementation of the proposed Project.

The objectives of this Assessment were to: 1) provide a general characterization of biological resources for the property; 2) inventory plant and wildlife species; 3) evaluate the potential for federal or state listed plants and animals species afforded other special regulatory protection; and 4) describe the property’s sensitive biological resources and applicable federal, state, and local land use policies.

This BRA provides information about the biological resources within the Project footprint. Prior to conducting a habitat assessment (i.e., site visit for biological resources), Soar Environmental researched the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC), and California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California, to compile a list of special-status species that could potentially be present in the vicinity of the Project area. Soar Environmental researched specific species and habitat requirements for the species noted in the CNDDB, IPaC and CNPS databases and included species listing status, and proximal species observations in this report.

No special-status plant or wildlife species were observed in the Project area during the field survey on June 27, 2022. Based on the Literature Review (Section 2.1 of this report) special-status species that have the potential to occur in the Project area based on documented occurrences in the vicinity include:
• San Joaquin kit fox
• Swainson's hawk
• vernal pool fairy shrimp
• yellow-billed cuckoo
All other special-status species identified in the record search are unlikely to occur in the Project area, due to lack of suitable habitat, proximity, and time since historical occurrences. No listed species were observed during the habitat assessment of the Project site, and no suitable habitat features, or conditions were observed that would be conducive for any of the special status species identified in this report. 1320

1. Introduction
The proposed Project is a housing subdivision to be constructed on 69.35 acres of fallow farmland in the city of Visalia, Visalia County, California. Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. (Soar Environmental) has prepared this Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) for 4Creeks, Inc. (4Creeks) in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.

A review of California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) was conducted to identify sensitive wildlife species. Results indicated a habitat assessment would be necessary to search for potential suitable habitat or presence for the 17 following sensitive wildlife species: Two amphibian species include:

California red-legged frog, and California tiger salamander. Three bird species: Swainson's hawk, tricolored blackbird, and western yellow-billed cuckoo. One fish species: delta smelt. Five invertebrates:
vernal pool fairy shrimp, conservancy fairy shrimp, monarch butterfly, valley elderberry longhorn beetle, and vernal pool tadpole shrimp. Four mammals: Fresno kangaroo rat, Tipton kangaroo rat, fisher, and San Joaquin kit fox. Two reptiles were identified: blunt-nosed leopard lizard, and giant garter snake.

Potential sensitive plant species were reviewed using the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California and CNDDB records. The data records search identified the following 6 sensitive plant species historically occurring in the vicinity of the Project site: California jewelflower, Hoover's Spurge, San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass, San Joaquin adobe sunburst, and Greene's tuctoria.

A habitat assessment was conducted in the Project area on June 27, 2022, by Soar Environmental biologist Ben Arax. The purpose of the Habitat Assessment Survey was to search for the presence of special-status species or suitable habitats that have historically been observed within, or surrounding, the Project area.

No special-statusspecies were observed during the site visit, and no suitable habitat was observed for any of the sensitive species identified in this report.

1.1 Project Location
The Project site is located on the northwest corner of Roeben Street and West Whitendale Avenue in Visalia, California. It is on the western edge of the City, in an agricultural and residential interface environment, approximately 1.25 miles east of State Route (SR) 99 and 1.4 miles south of State Route (SR) 198. It is comprised of Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 119-022-041. In the USGS 7.5-minute Quadrangle of Visalia, it can be found in Township 19 South, Range 24 East, section 3, NW ¼ section, South 1/8. A map to the Project site location is depicted in Figure 1.
1323

Figure 1. Project Location

1.2 Environmental Setting
Land use in the area is agricultural and residential. The Project site is approximately 1.25 miles east of State Route (SR) 99, and 1.4 miles south of SR 198. Agricultural land becomes more prevalent to the west while land use to the east is largely urbanized. The project area is rectangular with a Panhandle extending from the southeast corner. The Panhandle is divided by an irrigation canal running north and south, and the rest of the project area is divided by a natural surface road that runs east to west through the center of the property. The project site is bounded by residential neighborhoods to the north and east, separated by a wooden fence. Agricultural land borders west and southern boundaries with orchard trees to the west and a cattle ranch to the South.

The topography of the area is completely flat at approximately 300 feet elevation, vegetative ground cover was recently mowed. There are no structures on the property, no trees or bushes that would provide adequate habitat for nesting birds, and there were no small mammal Burrows that would provide adequate refuge for San Joaquin kitfox. Powerline poles exist along the main roads, but not on the 1324

2. Methods

2.1 Literature Review
Prior to performing the habitat assessment, Soar Environmental conducted a records search for threatened or endangered species that could potentially occur in the vicinity of the Project area. The records search included a review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC), and California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Online Rare Plant Inventory. The area covered by the data records search included USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles of Visalia, Cairns Corner, Exeter, Goshen, Ivanhoe, Monson, Paige, Traver, and Tulare 7.5-minute USGS quadrangles. From these sources a list of special-status plant and animal species was generated. Proximal locations of special-status plant and animal species located within 5 miles of the Project site are shown in (Figure 4).

Based on a review of CNDDB records (conducted April 7, 2022) it was determined there was potential for 13 State listed special-status species to occur within or in the vicinity of the Project site (listed below). • California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) • San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica)
1326

Page 9 of 25 ends

• Swainson's hawk
• Tipton kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides) • Tricolored blackbird
• Valley elderberry longhorn beetle
• Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi)
• Vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi)
• Western yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus occidentalis) • California Jewelflower
• Hoover's spurge (Euphorbia hooveri)
• San Joaquin adobe sunburst (Pseudobahia peirsonii)
• San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass (Orcuttia inaequalis) A search of the IPaC database indicated 11 additional Federally listed sensitive wildlife and plant species likely to occur within or near the Project site include:
• Blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia silus)
• California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii)
• Conservancy fairy shrimp (Branchinecta conservatio)
• Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)
• Fisher (Pekania pennanti)
• Fresno kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides exilis)
• Giant garter snake (Thamnophis gigas)
• Monarch butterfly (Danuas plexippus)
• Greene's tuctoria (Tuctoria greenei)
• Succulent owl's-clover (Castilleja campestris ssp. Succulenta) A search of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Online Rare Plant Inventory did not identify any additional plant species that were not identified in the CNDDB or IPaC records search.

No special-status plant or wildlife species were observed in the Project area during the habitat assessment on June 27, 2022. However, based on a review of CNDDB, IPaC, and CNPS, and analysis of proximal historic occurrences, records indicated potential presence of the following special-status species. • San Joaquin kit fox
• Swainson's hawk
• vernal pool fairy shrimp
• yellow-billed cuckoo

2.2 Field Reconnaissance Methodology
On June 27, 2022, Soar Environmental biologist Ben Arax conducted a habitat assessment on the property for the above mentioned species. Walking the perimeter of the property, and meandering transects throughout the Project area, the surveyor searched for bird nests, possible small mammal dens, identified vegetation, and looked for vernal pools or other signs of wildlife occupancy. Survey efforts emphasized the search for special-status species and associated suitable habitats, that had documented occurrences in the data records search of the CNDDB, IPaC, and CNPS databases. The surrounding area was also surveyed by vehicle in accessible areas within 0.5 miles of the Project site, to look for biological resources and features that may be conducive for suitable habitat of the identified special-status species. Photos were taken of the Project boundaries, center of the Project site in 4 cardinal directions, and other points of interest depicting the habitat and potential biological resources (Appendix A). 1328

3. Habitat Assessment Results
During the habitat assessment, there were no observations of special-status plant or wildlife species. The Project site is an inactive agricultural field on the western edge of the City, with active agricultural land to the west and an urbanized residential environment to the east. A red tailed hawk and several other bird species were observed during the site visit, however there are no trees or bushes that would provide adequate refugia for the nesting bird species identified in this report, and no raptor nests were observed on any of the power line poles within the vicinity of the Project site. There were no signs of pooling water or vernal pools that would provide suitable habitat for vernal pool fairy shrimp. The ground was highly visible from recent mowing, and no small mammal burrows were observed anywhere on the property that would provide adequate refugia for San Joaquin kit fox.

Although no special-status plant or wildlife species were observed during the site visit, Soar Environmental biologists observed some common reptile and bird species flying around the area, listed in (Table 1) below, along with plant species observed onsite. No other wildlife species were observed during the habitat assessment.

4. Special-Status Species
Special-status plants and animals that have a reasonable possibility to occur in the Project area based on habitat suitability and requirements, elevation and geographic range, soils, topography, surrounding land uses, and proximity of known occurrences in the CNDDB, IPaC, and CNPS databases to the Project area are listed in Tables 2 and 3. The likelihood for occurrence of special-status species was assessed using information from the various listed sources, wildlife and botanical surveys. Narratives are provided for species for which there are land use planning and regulatory implications. Special-status species for which there are no habitat features are excluded from consideration due to the lack of suitable habitat and distance from the subject property.

Based upon a review of the resources and databases listed in Section 2.1 (Literature Review) for the Visalia, Cairns Corner, Exeter, Goshen, Ivanhoe, Monson, Paige, Traver, and Tulare USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles; it was determined that 19 special-status plant species have been documented in the vicinity of the Project area. Of these 19 special-status species, 3 were determined to have a moderate potential for occurrence, and 4 species was determined to have potential for occurrence.

Species with Potential for Occurrence:
• San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica)
• Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni)
• Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi)
• Western yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus occidentalis) Special-status species and sensitive habitats include plant and wildlife taxa, or other unique biological features that are afforded special protection by local land use policies, state and federal regulations.

Special-status plant and animal species are those that are listed as rare, threatened, or endangered under the state or federal Endangered Species Acts. Vegetation communities may warrant specialstatus if they are of limited distribution, have high wildlife value, or are particularly vulnerable to disturbance. Listed and special-status species are defined as:
• Listed or proposed for listing under the state or Federal Endangered Species acts. • Protected under other regulations (e.g., Migratory Bird Treaty Act). • CDFG Species of Special Concern.
• Listed as species of concern by CNPS or USFWS; or
1330

Page 13 of 25 ends

• Receive consideration during environmental review under CEQA.

Special-status species considered for this analysis are based on field survey results, review of the CNDDB occurrence records of species, review of the USFWS lists for special-status species occurring in the region, and CNPS literature (Tables 2 and 3).
• Present: Species known to occur on the site, based on CNDDB records, and/or was observed on the site during the field survey.

4.1 Special-Status Wildlife Species Descriptions

4.1.1 San Joaquin Kit Fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica)
The San Joaquin kit fox is listed as Threatened at the Federal level and Endangered at the State level. They are petite, light-colored canids, approximately 50 centimeters (20 inches) in length, with bushy, blacktipped tails, large ears, and pointed snouts.

San Joaquin kit fox is a desert-adapted species which occurs mainly in arid, flat grasslands, scrublands, and alkali meadows where the vegetation structure is relatively short. This species uses dens year-round and needs loose-textured soils suitable for burrowing. They primarily prey on kangaroo rats and other small rodents, as well as large insects and occasionally rabbits. A typical kit fox den is anywhere from four to 10 inches in diameter, and is taller than it is wide, often with a keyhole shape. Dens usually have dirt berms and matted vegetation adjacent to the entrances, and tracks and prey remains will normally be detected nearby. SJKF may also utilize man-made structures such as pipes and culverts as dens.

4.1.2 Swainson’s Hawk (Buteo swainsonii)
Swainson’s hawk is listed as Threatened on the State level. favoring open habitat for foraging such as agricultural fields, pastures, and row crops. They nest in scattered stands of eucalyptus, willow, oak, cottonwood, and conifers. On occasion, Swainson’s hawk will nest on a power pole or transmission tower.

Nests are constructed with loose bundles of sticks and debris items. Incubation period is approximately 35 days and nesting period is 17-22 days. The breeding season for this species begins in March and ends in September.

4.1.3 Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Brachinecta lynchi)
Vernal pool fairy shrimp is listed as Threatened on the Federal level and has no listing on the State level.

Measuring 2.5 centimeters (one inch) long, translucent crustaceans with 11 pairs of appendages. Thy are limited to vernal pool habitats in Oregon and California and do not occur in riverine, marine, or other permanent bodies of water where fish are present. During the wet season, the females produce hardy resting eggs, called cysts, which survive the dry season and hatch when the rains come again.

4.1.4. Western yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus occidentalis) Yellow-billed cuckoos have uniform grayish-brown plumage on their head and back, and dull white underparts. Their tails are long with two rows of four to six large white circles on the underside. The bill of yellow-billed cuckoos is short to medium in length and curved downward with a black upper mandible and a yellow or orange lower mandible. Yellow-billed cuckoos have zygodactylous feet, meaning that of the four toes, the middle two point forward and the outer two point backward.

Yellow-billed cuckoos prefer open woodlands with clearings and a dense shrub layer. They are often found in woodlands near streams, rivers or lakes. In North America, their preferred habitats include abandoned farmland, old fruit orchards, successional shrubland and dense thickets. In winter, yellowbilled cuckoos can be found in tropical habitats with similar structure, such as scrub forest and mangroves.

5. Findings
During the Habitat Assessment, Soar Environmental did not observe any of the referenced special-status species within the Project site or environmental footprint. From the information gathered in the data records search and analysis of the habitat on site, the following 4 special-status species were found to have the highest potential for occurrence in the vicinity of the Project site: 1) San Joaquin kit fox, 2) Swainson's hawk, 3) vernal pool fairy shrimp, and 4) western yellow-billed cuckoo. However, due to habitat quality and proximity of historical occurrences, all of these species were found to be unlikely to occur within the vicinity of the Project site. Based on the findings of this assessment, the proposed development of this property is unlikely to adversely affect any special-status species and is likely to have no effect for CEQA considerations.

The Project site consists of 69.35 acres of an inactive agricultural field. The ground is highly disturbed and compacted from previous agricultural activities. Land use in the surrounding area is urban and residential to the east, becoming orchards and agricultural land to the west. There is an irrigation ditch on the eastern side of the property with little to no vegetation around it. There are no vernal pools or wetlands in the area that would provide suitable habitat for vernal pool fairy shrimp, or any other aquatic special-status species identified in this report.

Although a red-tailed hawk And several other common bird species were observed flying through the area, there were no raptor nests observed within a 0.5 miles search around the Project footprint. Due to agricultural activities, the orchard trees in the area do not provide suitable refugia for nesting birds. There are no trees or bushes in the area that would provide adequate nesting habitat for red-tailed hawk, western yellow-billed cuckoo, or any of the special-status bird species identified in this report.

No signs of San Joaquin kit fox were observed during the habitat assessment, and suitable habitat for this species is poor within the surrounding areas. The ground was highly visible from recent mowing, and no small mammal burrows were observed anywhere on the property that would provide adequate refugia for San Joaquin kit fox.

6. Recommendations
No listed species were observed during the Habitat Assessment of the Project site, and no suitable habitat features, or conditions were observed that would be conducive for any of the aforementioned species.

The proposed development of this parcel is unlikely to adversely affect any special-status species. Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. recommends that if any special status species are observed during construction activities, work be stopped immediately and CDFW is contacted.

7. Study Limitations
This Report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted environmental methodologies and contains all the limitations inherent in these methodologies. The Report documents site conditions that were observed during field reconnaissance and do not apply to future conditions. No other warranties, expressed or implied, are made as to the professional services provided under the terms of our contract and included in this Report.

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Taylored Archaeology completed a Phase I cultural resource assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project (Project). Barr and Wood is an unincorporated property southwest of the City of Visalia in Tulare County, California. The Project proposes to construct a single-family residential development comprised of approximately 136 residential lots with park strip landscaping, streets, streetlights, sidewalks and a pond. In order to obtain development approval from the City of Visalia, the Project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Visalia is the Lead Agency under CEQA for this Project.

To assess for cultural resources in conjunction with CEQA, Taylored Archaeology conducted a cultural resource study under contract with 4Creeks, Inc. to assess whether cultural resources are present with the Project boundary. This investigation included: (1) a records search from the Southern San Joaquin Information Center (SSJVIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), at California State University, Bakersfield; (2) a Sacred Lands File Search from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC); (3) archival research; (4) an archaeological pedestrian survey and (5) preparing California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms.

The SSJVIC reported that two previous cultural resource investigations have been conducted within the Project area and no cultural resources were recorded within the Project area. Taylored Archaeology reviewed the two cultural resource investigations (TU-00041 and TU-01190) and determined both are literature reviews and not surveys of the Project area. The SSJVIC identified five previous investigations and two recorded historical resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the Project boundary: 3431 South Shirk Street, a rural residential home (P-54-005058) and 6440 West Cadwell Avenue, a rural residential home (P-54-005059).

The NAHC stated a search of its Sacred Lands File was negative. Local tribes were previously contacted by the City of Visalia under Assembly Bill 52. The pedestrian survey of the Project site did not identify any prehistoric resources on the ground surface. However, a segment of the South Fork Persian Ditch was identified and recorded on California Department of Parks and Recreation forms but was not formally evaluated for significance and eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources. According to the Project description, the ditch will remain open in its present condition with only a single bridge crossing the ditch within the Project boundary. Because the Project proposes no substantial change to the ditch, there is no expected adverse change to this historical resource.

Taylored Archaeology makes the following management recommendations:

In the event that previously unidentified archaeological remains are encountered during development or ground-moving activities in the Project area, all work should be halted until a qualified archaeologist can identify the discovery and assess its significance. In the event of accidental discovery of unidentified archaeological remains during development or ground1346 Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project iii
moving activities in the Project area, all work shall be halted in the immediate vicinity (within a 100-foot radius) until a qualified archaeologist can identify the discovery and assess its significance.

If human remains are uncovered during construction, the Tulare County Coroner is to be notified to investigate the remains and arrange proper treatment and disposition. If the remains are identified on the basis of archaeological context, age, cultural associations, or biological traits to be those of a Native American, California Health and Safety Code 7050.5 and PRC 5097.98 require that the coroner notify the NAHC within 24 hours of discovery. The NAHC will then identify the Most Likely Descendent who will be afforded an opportunity to make recommendations regarding the treatment and disposition of the remains. A copy of this report will be provided to the SSJVIC for inclusion in the CHRIS statewide database. 1347

INTRODUCTION
Taylored Archaeology performed a Phase I cultural resource assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project (Project) near the city of Visalia, California in unincorporated Tulare County, California. As part of development approval process, the City of Visalia as lead agency must comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] 21000 [g] mandate that government agencies consider the impacts of a project on the environment, including cultural resources.

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The proposed Project involves constructing a single-family residential development consisting of approximately 136 lots, a 3.7-acre park, a 1.6-acre stormwater retention basin, and associated paved streets, sidewalks, streetlights, and landscaping. Local streets within the subdivision will be connected to South Shirk Road/ Road 92 to the west, and South Roeben Street to the east.

Local streets will additionally cross over the on-site ditch in a single bridge, and the ditch will remain open in its present condition. The planned maximum excavation of the Project will be the stormwater retention basin at 12 feet below ground surface (bgs). The Project site will also be annexed into the City of Visalia.

The current Project site consists of 69.35-acres of agricultural land within Tulare County Assessor’s Parcel Number 119-022-041. The Project area is in unincorporated Tulare County near the City of Visalia, California (Figure 1-1). The Project area is visible on the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Visalia, California, topographic quadrangle in Section 3 of Township 19 South, Range 24 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (Figure 1-2).

1.2 REGULATORY SETTING
In this report “cultural resources” are defined as prehistoric or historical archaeological sites as well as historical objects, buildings, or structures. In accordance with 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §60.4, “historical” in this report applies to cultural resources which are at least 50 years old. The significance or importance of a cultural resource is dependent upon whether the resource qualifies for inclusion at the local or state level in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), or at the federal level in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Cultural resources that are determined to be eligible for inclusion in the CRHR are called “historical resources” (California Code of Regulations [CCR] 15064.5[a]). Under this statue the determination of eligibility is partially based on the consideration of the criteria of significance as defined in 14 CCR 15064.5(a)(3). Cultural resources eligible for inclusion in the NRHP are deemed “historic properties”.
1351
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 2 1.2.1 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Pursuant to CEQA, a historical resource is a resource listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in, the CRHR. Historical resources may include, but are not limited to, “any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically or archaeologically significant” (PRC §5020.1[j]). In addition, a resource included in a local register of historical resources or identified as significant in a local survey conducted in accordance with the state guidelines are also considered historic resources under California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5020.1.

CEQA details appropriate measures for the evaluation and protection of cultural resources in §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. According to CEQA guidelines §15064.5 (a)(3), criteria for listing on the CRHR includes the following:
(A) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage. (B) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past. (C) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values.
(D) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

According to CEQA guidelines §21074 (a)(1), criteria for tribal cultural resources includes the following:
(1) Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either of the following:
(A) included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources.
(B) included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1.

PROJECT SETTING

2.1 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The Project site lies in the Central Valley of California, which is approximately 450 miles from north to south, and ranges in width east to west from 40 to 60 miles (Prothero 2017). The Central Valley is divided into two subunits, the Sacramento Valley in the north and the San Joaquin Valley in the south, which are each named after the primary rivers within each valley (Madden 2020).

The Project is located approximately 294 feet above sea level on the open flat plains of the Southern San Joaquin Valley. Climate within the San Joaquin valley is classified as a ‘hot Mediterranean climate’, with hot and dry summers, and cool damp winters characterized by periods of dense fog known as ‘tule fog’ (Prothero 2017).

The San Joaquin Valley is a comprised of a structural trough created approximately 65 million years ago and is filled with nearly six miles of sediment (Bull 1964). The San Joaquin Valley ranges from Stockton and the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta in the north to Wheeler Ridge to the south, ranging nearly 60 miles wide at its widest (Zack 2017). It is split by late Pleistocene alluvial fans between the San Joaquin River hydrologic area in the north and the Tulare Lake Drainage Basin in the south (Rosenthal et al 2007). The Project site is located within the latter of the two hydrologic units. The Kaweah, Tule, Kern, and Kings rivers flowed into large inland lakes with no outflow except in high flood events, in which the lakes would flow through the Fresno Slough into the San Joaquin River. The largest of these inland lakes was the Tulare Lake, which occupied a vast area of Tulare and Kings Counties and was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. These four rivers in the Tulare Lake Drainage Basin accounted for more than 95 percent of water discharged into Tulare Lake, with the remaining five percent sourced from small drainages originating in the Coast Ranges to the west (Adams et al. 2015).

The Project is in central western Tulare County on the valley floor of the San Joaquin Valley within the greater Kaweah River Delta alluvial fan. Specifically, the Project is located 1.8 miles north of Packwood Creek, which is a distributary of the Kaweah River (Thompson 1892). Distributaries form when debris-laden river waters meet abrupt changes in channel and slope confinement, resulting in unstable channel networks that change with time (Wagner et al. 2013). Before the appearance of agriculture in the nineteenth century, the Project location would have been comprised of prairie grasslands with scatter oak tree savannas near the foothills, and along the various streams and drainages (Preston 1981). Riparian environments would also have been present along various waterways, including drainages and marshes. Native vegetation likely would have consisted of needle grasses and other perennial bunchgrasses before the introduction of non-native species in the 1800s.

The valley floor of the region was largely dominated by marshlands, lakes, and annual grasslands.

Historically, these habitats provided a lush environment for large animals, including various migratory birds and other waterfowl, grizzly bear (Ursus arctos californicus), tule elk (Cervus sp.), pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), black bear (Ursus 1357
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 8 americanus), and mountain lion (Puma concolor) (Preston 1981). Native trees and plants observed in the Project vicinity include various blue, live, and white oaks (Quercus sp.), cottonwood (Populus aegiros), and willow (Salix sp.). The introduction of agriculture to the region resulted in large animals being forced out of their habitat. Common land mammals now include valley coyote (Canis latrans), bobcat (Lynx rufus), gray fox, kit fox (Vulpes macrotis), and rabbits (Leporidae). Rivers and lakes throughout the valley provide habitat for freshwater fish, including rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Sacramento sucker (Catostomidae sp.), and Sacramento perch (Archoplites interruptus), (Preston 1981).

The Project site is presently characterized as agricultural utilized for winter wheat cultivation, surrounded by single-family residential development to the north and east, a dairy farm and row crops to the south, and rural residences and orchards to the east. The immediate region is located at the southwest of the City of Visalia suburban footprint and is rapidly transitioning from agricultural to suburban residential use.

2.2 PREHISTORIC SETTING
Research into San Joaquin Valley prehistory began in the early 1900s with several archaeological investigations (Rosenthal et al. 2007). The Southern San Joaquin Valley is of one of the least understood areas within California due to a lack of well-grounded chronologies for large segments of the valley (Rosenthal et al. 2007). This is largely due to the valley floor being filled with thick alluvial deposits, and from human activity largely disturbing much of the valley floor due to a century and a half of agricultural use (Dillon 2002; Siefken 1999). Mound sites may have occurred as frequently as one every two or three miles along major waterways but studying such mounded occupations sites is difficult as most surface sites have been destroyed (Schenck and Dawson 1929). Much of the early to middle Holocene archaeological sites may be buried as deep as 10 meters due to millennia of erosion and alluvial deposits from the western Sierras (Moratto 1984).

Mass agricultural development has heavily disturbed and changed the landscape of the Southern San Joaquin Valley, from the draining of marshes and the vanishing of the extensive Tulare Lake, to grading nearly the entire valley for agricultural operations (Garone 2011). These activities have impacted or scattered much of the shallow surface deposits and mounds throughout the valley (Rosenthal et al 2007). Some researchers have suggested that potentially as much as 90 percent of all Central California archaeological sites have been destroyed from these activities (Riddell 2002).

The cultural traits and chronologies which are summarized below are largely based upon information discussed in multiple sources, including Bennyhoff and Fredrickson (1973, 1974), Garfinkel (2015), McGuire and Garfinkel (1980), Moratto (1984), and Rosenthal et al. (2007). The most recent comprehensive approach to compiling a chronology of the Southern San Joaquin Valley prehistory is by Garfinkel in 2015, which builds off Rosenthal’s 2007 previous work. Both Garfinkel’s and Rosenthal’s chronologies are calculated in years B.C. In the interest of maintaining 1358
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 9 cohesiveness with modern anthropological research, the dates of these chronologies have been adapted into years before present (B.P.).

The Paleo-Indian Period (13,500-10,600 cal B.P.) was largely represented by ephemeral lake sites which were characterized by atlatl and spear projectile points. Around 14,000 years ago, California was largely a cooler and wetter place, but with the retreat of continental Pleistocene glaciers, California largely experienced a warming and drying period. Lakes filled with glacial meltwater were located in the valley floor and used by populations of now extinct large game animals. A few prehistoric sites were discovered near the southwestern shore of Tulare Lake (Garfinkel 2015). Foragers appear to have operated in small groups which migrated on a regular basis.

During the Lower Archaic Period (10,500-7450 cal B.P.), climate change created a largely different environment which led to the creation of larger alluvial fans and flood plains. Most of the archaeological records of the prior period wound up being buried by geological processes. During this time, cultural patterns appear to have emerged between the foothill and valley populations of the local people. The foothill sites were often categorized by dense flaked and ground stone assemblages, while the valley sites were instead characterized by a predominance of crescents and stemmed projectile points. Occupation within the area is represented mostly by isolated discoveries and along the former shoreline of Tulare Lake. Archaeological finds are typically characterized by chipped stone crescents, stemmed points, and other distinctive flakes stone artifacts (Rosenthal et al. 2007). Variations in consumption patterns emerged as well, with the valley sites more marked by consumption of waterfowl, mussels, and freshwater fish, while the foothills sites saw an increase in nuts, seeds, and a more narrowly focused diet than the valley sites.

The Middle Archaic (7450-2500 cal B.P.) saw an increase in semi-permanent villages along river and creek settings, with more permanent sites located along lakes with a more stable supply of water and wildlife. Due to the warmer and drier weather of this period, many lakes within the valley dramatically reduced in size, while some vanished completely (Garone 2011). Cultural patterns during this time saw an increase in stone tools, while a growth in shell beads, ornaments, and obsidian evidence an extensive and ever-growing long-distance trade network. Little is known of cultural patterns in the valley during the Upper Archaic (2500-850 B.P.), but large village structures appeared to be more common around local rivers. An overall reduction of projectile point size suggests changing bow and arrow technologies. Finally, the Emergent Period (850 cal B.P. - Historic Era) was generally marked by an ever-increasing specialization in tools, and the bow and arrow generally replaced the dominance of the dart and atlatl. Cultural traditions ancestral to those recorded during ethnographic research in the early 1900s are identifiable.

2.3 ETHNOGRAPHY
The Project area is in the Southern Valley Yokuts ethnographic territory of the San Joaquin Valley.

The Yokuts were generally divided into three major groups, the Northern Valley Yokuts, the Southern Valley Yokuts, and the Foothill Yokuts. The Yokuts are a sub-group of the Penutian language that covers much of coastal and central California and Oregon (Callaghan 1958). The 1359
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 10 Yokuts language contained multiple dialects spoken throughout the region, though many of them were mutually understandable (Merriam 1904).

The Yokuts have been extensively researched and recorded by ethnographers, including Powers (1877), Kroeber (1925), Gifford and Schenck (1926, 1929), Gayton (1930, 1945), Driver (1937), Harrington (1957), Latta (1977), and Wallace (1978). Much of the research from these ethnographers focuses on the central Yokuts tribes due to the northernmost tribes being impacted by Euro-Americans during the California Gold Rush of the mid 1800s, and by the southernmost tribes often being removed and relocated by the Spanish to various Bay Area or coastal missions. The central Yokuts tribes, and especially the western Sierra Nevada foothill tribes, were the most intact at the time of ethnographic study.

The most detailed ethnographic information gathered regarding Native American group territories in Central California is located within maps prepared by Kroeber. The information presented in Kroeber’s map of Southern and Central Yokuts shows the Project area within the Telamni Yokuts territory (1925: Plate 47). The main village for this area was Waitatshuulul, which was approximately 3 miles east of the Project site along Packwood Creek (Kroeber 1925). Primary Yokuts villages were typically located along lakeshores and major stream courses, with scattered secondary or temporary camps and settlements located near gathering areas in the foothills.

Yokuts were organized into local tribes, with one or more linked villages and smaller settlements within a territory (Kroeber 1925).

Each local tribe was a land-owning group that was organized around a central village, and shared common territory and ancestry. Most local tribe populations ranged from 150 to 500 people (Kroeber 1925). These local tribes were often led by a chief, who was often advised by a variety of assistants including the winatum, who served as a messenger and assistant chief (Gayton 1930). Early studies by Kroeber (1925), Gifford and Schenck (1926), and Gayton (1930) concluded that social and political authority within local tribes was derived from male lineage and patriarchy. However, more recent reexaminations (Dick-Bissonnette 1998) argue that this assumption of patriarchal organization was based on male bias by early 20th century researchers, and instead Yokuts sociopolitical authority was matriarchal in nature and centered around matrilineal use-rights and women’s work groups.

Prior to Euro-American contact, there was abundance of natural resources within the greater Tulare Lake area. Due to these resources, Yokuts maintained some of the largest populations in North America west of the continental divide (Cook 1955a).

2.4 HISTORIC SETTING

2.4.1 California History
European contact in modern-day California first occurred in 1542 with the arrival of a Spanish expedition lead by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo into San Diego Bay (Engstrand 1997). Expeditions along the California coast continued throughout the sixteenth century and primarily focused on 1360
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 11 finding favorable harbors for further expansion and trade across the Pacific. However, rocky shorelines, unfavorable currents, and wind conditions made traveling north from New Spain to the upper California coast a difficult and time-consuming journey (Eifler 2017). The topography of California, with high mountains, large deserts, and few natural harbors lead to European expansion into California only starting in the 1760s. As British and Russian expansion through fur trading encroached on California from the north, Spain established a system of presidios, pueblos, and missions along the California coast to defend its claim, starting with Mission San Diego de Alcalá in 1769 (Engstrand 1997).

2.4.2 Central California History
The San Joaquin Valley did not experience contact with Europeans until the late 1700s (Starr 2007). Life at the California missions was hard and brutal for Native Americans, with many dying of disease, poor conditions, and many fleeing to areas not under direct Spanish control (Jackson and Castillo 1995). The earliest exploration of the San Joaquin Valley by Europeans was likely by the Spaniards when in the fall of 1772 a group known as the Catalonian Volunteers entered the valley through Tejon Pass in search of deserters from the Southern California Missions (Zack 2017). However, the group only made it as far north as Buena Vista Lake in modern day Kern County before turning around due to the extensive swamps. Additional excursions to the valley were for exploration such as those led by Lieutenant Bariel Moraga in 1806, but also to find sites for suitable mission sites and to track down Native Americans fleeing the coastal missions (Cook 1958).

Subsequent expeditions were also sent to pursue outlaws from the coast who would often flee to the valley for safety. One of the subsequent explorations was an expedition in 1814 to 1815 with Sargent Juan Ortega and Father Juan Cabot, who left the Mission San Miguel with a company of approximately 30 Spanish soldiers and explored the San Joaquin Valley (Smith 2004). This expedition passed through the Kaweah Delta and modern-day Visalia and made a recommendation to establish a mission near modern-day Visalia. However, with European contact also came European disease. Malaria and other new diseases were brought by Europeans, and in 1833 an epidemic of unknown origin traveled throughout the Central Valley.

Some estimates place the Native American mortality of the epidemic as high as 75 percent (Cook 1955b). Combined with the rapid expansion of Americans into California in 1848 during the Gold Rush, Native American populations within the valley never fully recovered (Eifler 2017).

Initial settlement within the valley by Europeans in the 1830s was largely either by trappers like Jedediah Smith or horse thieves like Pegleg Smith (Clough and Secrest 1984). In fact, horse and other livestock theft was so rampant that ranching operations on the Rancho Laguna de Tache by the Kings River and Rancho del San Joaquin Rancho along the San Joaquin River could not be properly established (Cook 1962). With the end of the Mexican American War and the beginning of the gold rush in 1848, the San Joaquin Valley became more populated with ranchers and prospectors. Most prospectors traveled by sea to San Francisco and used rivers ranging from the Sacramento River to the San Joaquin River to access the California interior (Eifler 2017). Most areas south of the San Joaquin River were less settled simply because those rivers did not connect 1361
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 12 to the San Francisco Bay area except in wet flood years. By 1850, California became a state and Tulare County was established in 1853.

2.4.3 Local History
The City of Visalia is one of the oldest cities within the Southern San Joaquin Valley and was founded in 1852. By the late 1850s the town of Visalia was a major station along the Butterfield Overland Mail stage route as it traveled north from Los Angeles to Stockton (Helmich 2008).

During the first few decades, Visalia was a supply center for nearby gold rushes, served as the regional population center of Tulare County, and had an agricultural economy based on livestock and some agriculture (Dyett and Bhatia 2014). During the 1850s and 1860s roughly made earthen ditches and dams diverted stream water for irrigation, with the earliest ditches in the San Joaquin Valley being constructed in Visalia between 1852 to 1853 (Caltrans 2000). The Southern Pacific Railroad was extended from Fresno into Tulare County in the early 1870s but bypassed the City of Visalia as it was located six miles to the east of the rail line (Small 1926).

The construction of the rail line also brought an increase in agriculture and farms, which clashed with existing ranching operations in the local area. Escalating conflicts and livestock disputes between ranchers and farmers lead to the “No Fence Law” in 1874, which forced ranchers to pay for crop and property damage caused by their cattle (Ludeke 1980). With the passage of this law and the expansion of irrigation systems, predominant land use in the 1870s switched from grazing to farming (Mitchell 1974). This led to the beginning of the vast change of the San Joaquin Valley from native vegetation and grasslands to irrigated crops (Varner and Stuart 1975).

Water rights within California originally arose from the ‘first come first serve’ policy of the Gold Rush era. Diverting surface water to farms became big business but was a convoluted mess of customs, traditions, and conflicting claims (Zack 2017). Fed up with the situation, small farmers gathered behind Modesto lawyer C.C. Wright, who was elected to the California legislature in 1887 on the platform of taking water rights from large estates and putting it in the power of community-controlled irrigation districts (Hundley 1992). To solve this mess, the Wright Act of 1887 was passed that allowed residents to petition a local county board of supervisors to create irrigation districts that had the power to issues bonds, and tax land within the district boundaries to pay for the creation and maintenance of canals and ditches for irrigation purposes.

One of the first three districts created under the new act was the Tulare Irrigation District (TID), which was organized on September 21, 1889 (Caltrans 2000). The TID originally covered 219,000 acres from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada to the eastern boundary of Tulare Lake but was ultimately reduced to approximately 32,000 acres (Zack 2017).

At the same time as the Wright Act, an important step forward was made in ditch-digging technology that allowed irrigation systems to be built at a faster pace. From the 1840s to 1890s, farm ditches and canals were largely constructed through the use of buckboards and slip-scoops, which involved the use of a board pulled by horses in an uprights position in order to level ground (Bulls 2010). Between 1883 and 1885, Scottish immigrant James Porteous had moved to Fresno and made significant improvements to the buckboard style scraper that allowed the new scraper 1362
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 13 to be pulled by two horses and scrape and move soil while dumping it at a controlled depth. This new design was patented and sold as the “Fresno Scraper”, which lead to an explosion of ditch digging efforts within the San Joaquin Valley (Zack 2017).

With the passage of a $500,000 bond approved by residents of the newly formed TID, construction of the Tulare Irrigation Canal started in 1891 (Small 1926). Starting at the St. John’s River, the main canal was sixty-four feet wide and six feet deep, with a capacity of 500 cubic feet per second, and supplied water to farms as far south as the City of Tulare. 1363

METHODS

3.1 RECORDS SEARCH
On May 20, 2022, Taylored Archaeology requested a cultural resource records search from the SSJVIC of the CHRIS at California State University in Bakersfield, California. The purpose of this request was to identify any prehistoric or historical resources on or near the Project site that had been previously recorded within the Project boundary and a 0.5-mile radius of the Project area and identify and review prior cultural resource investigations completed in or near the Project boundary. SSJVIC staff researched historical USGS topographic maps, reports of previous cultural resource investigations, archaeological site and survey base maps, cultural resource records (DPR forms) as well as listings of the Historic Properties Directory of the Office of Historic Preservation, General Land Office Maps, Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility, and the California Inventory of Historic Resources (Appendix B).

3.2 ARCHIVAL RESEARCH
Archival research was conducted to investigate the historical background for any potential historic structures, buildings and historical deposits that may exist and land use within the Project boundary. Historical maps, historical aerial photographs, historical US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, Google Earth aerial photographs, Google Street View photos, books, scholarly articles, and other records were used to better understand the prehistory and history of the Project area. The results of this research are presented in Chapter 4.

3.3 NATIVE AMERICAN OUTREACH
On May 20, 2022, Taylored Archaeology sent an email to the NAHC requesting a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search to identify places in or near the Project area that may be tribal cultural resources, including sacred sites or other resources of importance. No outreach to local Native American representatives was conducted, as they were previously contacted through Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) consultation by the City of Visalia as the CEQA lead agency for the Project. The result of the SLF search is in Chapter 4.

3.4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL PEDESTRIAN SURVEY
On June 4, 2022, Archaeologist Consuelo Sauls conducted a Phase I archaeological pedestrian survey of the 69.35-acre Project site using systematic transects spaced 15 meters apart within the Project boundary. The entire Project site was accessible and surveyed to identify any prehistoric deposits and potential historical features, structures, and artifacts more than 50 years old that may be present on the ground surface. Ms. Sauls used a plan map, visible landmarks, and Gaia GPS application for navigation to locate and survey the Project area. She also photographed the survey area using an iPhone 11 Pro digital camera.

RESULTS

4.1 RECORDS SEARCH
The SSJVIC provided the records search results in a letter dated June 1, 2022 (Records Search File No. 22-214; Appendix B). The results of this search indicate that there are no recorded cultural resources within the Project area. However, there are two cultural resources previously recorded within a 0.5-mile radius of the Project area (Table 4-1). Both are historic-era and builtenvironment resources: P-54-005058 and P-54-0055059 are both rural single-family residences.

According to the results, two previous cultural resource study reports were conducted within the Project area (Table 4-2). Further review revealed that TU-00041 is only a literature review of the Project region and TU-01190 is a book on conflicts between Native Americans and California gold miners during the 1850s Gold Rush in Mariposa. Neither of these reports included archaeological surveys.

In addition to the SSJVIC research, Taylored Archaeology further reviewed the cultural resources

0.5-miles from the Project boundary. Using Google Earth aerial maps, P-54-005058 was determined to have been demolished circa 2021 (Google Earth 2022). 1366
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 17 4.2 ARCHIVAL RESEARCH
Historic map coverage of the Project site began in 1885. A review of an 1885 irrigation map of Fresno to Porterville shows all of Section 3, including the Project site, as owned by a “Coughran” (Figure 4-1), with no canals, ditches, or natural waterways depicted on, or adjacent to, the Project site (Hammond 1885).

Figure 4-1 1885 Irrigation Map, Project site in Section 3 (Hammond 1885) An 1892 survey map of Tulare County similarly shows all of Section 3, including the Project site, as owned by a “W. Coughran” (Figure 4-2) with no artificial or natural waterways depicted on, or adjacent to, the Project site (Thompson 1892). No structures are depicted within Section 3 but the Evans Ditch is depicted as running along the southern boundary of Section 3, approximately

0.5 miles south of the Project site.
1367
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 18 Figure 4-2 1892 Atlas, Project site in Section 3 (Thompson 1892) Available topographic map coverage of the Project site begins in 1927. The USGS topographic map of the Project site in 1927 depicts an unnamed irrigation ditch, likely the South Fork Persian Ditch, crossing the Project site from the northeast to southwest, and an unnamed natural watercourse crossing the northern portion of the Project site from east to west (Figure 4-3; USGS 1927).
1368
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 19 Figure 4-3 1927 topographic map, Project site in red (USGS 1927) The next available historical map of the Project site is the USGS topographic map from 1950 (USGS 1950). This map depicts the unnamed ditch, likely the South Fork Persian Ditch, as modified from the original 1927 map. By 1950, the ditch had been reoriented to cross the project site from directly north to south, and the natural watercourse in the 1927 map is now depicted at completely gone (Figure 4-4). Additionally, two structures are depicted at the northwestern portion of the Project site.
1369
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 20 Figure 4-4 1950 topographic map, Project site in red (USGS 1950) Finally, the 1969 topographic map depicts the Project site similar to the 1950 topographic map, with no discernable change (USGS 1969).

A review of available Projectsite specific environmental reports revealed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) for the Project site conducted by Salem Engineering Group in 2020 (Lodge 2020). The 2020 Phase I ESA conducted an intensive review of available historical aerial imagery of the Project site to determine past development history of the site. Below is a reproduction of the results of the review by Salem Engineering (Lodge 2020):
• 1937 Aerial Photograph
The northwest portion of the subject property appears to be developed with a single-family dwelling and several out buildings. A dirt road traverses the southeast corner of the subject property. Undeveloped land adjoins the subject property to the north, south, east, and west. A dirt road (South Shirk Road) adjoins the subject property to the west, beyond which is undeveloped land. • 1952 Aerial Photograph
Several of the structures previously observed on the northwest corner of the subject property appear to have been demolished. The subject property and all adjoining properties appear to be utilized for agricultural purposes. A small set of 1370
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 21 rural residences or barn structures are observed adjoining the subject property on the agricultural land to the south.
• 1969 Aerial Photograph
The northwest corner of the subject property is occupied by what appears to be a single-family dwelling and associated agricultural-use out buildings. The remainder of the subject property appears to be utilized for agricultural purposes as orchard. An east-west trending dirt road traverses the middle of the subject property. Direct access roads adjoining the subject property to the north and south. The conditions on the adjoining properties are similar to the 1952 aerial photograph.
• 1972 Aerial Photograph
The conditions on the subject property and adjoining properties are similar to the 1969 aerial photograph with the exception of the adjoining property to the south, which appears to have long rectangular-shaped structures which appear to be cattle shade structures.
• 1977 Aerial Photograph
The conditions on the subject property and adjoining properties are similar to the 1972 aerial photograph.
• 1984 Aerial Photograph
The conditions of the subject property and adjoining properties are similar to the 1977 aerial photograph, with the exception that an irrigation water retention basin is now visible on the adjoining property to the northwest. • 1994 Aerial Photograph
The structures on the northwest corner on the subject property appear to have been demolished. The remainder of the subject property appears to be utilized for agricultural purposes as an orchard. The adjoining properties to the east and northeast have been developed with residential tracts. The conditions on the adjoining properties to the north, south, and west are similar to the 1984 aerial photograph.
• 2006 Aerial Photograph
The conditions on the subject property and adjoining properties to the south and west are similar to the 1994 aerial photograph. An increase in residential development is observed on the properties to the north, northeast, and east. The irrigation water retention basin previously observed to the west of the subject property no longer appears to be in use.
1371
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 22 Further review of historic aerial imagery available in the 2020 Phase I ESA and at the Fresno State Map and Aerial Locator Tool (MALT) shows the northeast to southwest alignment of the ditch on the Project site appears to have been modified to a north to south alignment between 1937 and 1946 (Lodge 2020; USAAA 1946). Finally, the north to south alignment of the ditch was changed to its present-day alignment with a 90 degree turn to the west between 2003 and 2004 to accommodate the development of a single-family residential neighborhood adjacent to the northeast of the Project site (Google Earth 2022).

A review of the City of Visalia Planning Information Map confirmed the name of the ditch on the Project site as the South Fork Persian Ditch (Visalia 2022). On July 8, 2022, Taylored Archaeology placed a call to the Persian Ditch Company who confirmed that they manage the South Fork Persian Ditch. No information regarding the date of the ditch construction or the history of the ditch was provided because the Persian Ditch Company stated they are a privately held company which only shares information with company stockholders.

4.3 NATIVE AMERICAN OUTREACH
The NAHC responded on July 6, 2022, via letter regarding Taylored Archaeology’s request. The letter stated a search of the SLF was negative. The NAHC supplied a list of Native American representatives to contact for information or knowledge of cultural resources in the Project area (Appendix C).

Prior to the commencement of this cultural resources assessment by Taylored Archeology for the Project, the City of Visalia conducted AB 52 consultation with local Native American tribes. Paige Berggren, a Cultural Specialist Monitor for the Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi Yokut Tribe responded on behalf of the Tribe requesting an archaeological firm be hired to conduct a pre-construction survey, a records search with NAHC and CHRIS center, and monitoring of any ground disturbing activities. Additionally, the Tachi Yokut Tribe request to be put in contact with the archaeological firm hired so they can maintain updates about the Project (Appendix C).

4.4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL PEDESTRIAN SURVEY RESULTS
The landscape on the Project site consisted of a harvest wheat field (Figure 4-5). As discussed in Section 4.2 of this report, the natural topography of the area has been altered by historical and modern agricultural practices and much of the land on the Project site had been graded, plowed, planted and/or harvested, which has caused additional disturbance to the soil. The soil was gray to light brown sandy silt. During the survey, ground visibility was good (80 percent) due to vegetation in the wheat field and other short grasses. However, the ground visibility in the northwestern portion of the Project site was poor (0 to 5 percent) due to annual grasses and the remnants of a concrete pad, former barn, and wood piles (Figure 4-6). Rodent burrows and related soil piles were closely examined for soil type and lithic scatters.

An irrigation water pump was observed in the eastern portion of the Project site adjacent to the South Fork Persian Ditch (Figure 4-7). The South Fork Persian Ditch is an unlined earthen irrigation ditch that is owned and operated by the Persian Ditch Company (Figure 4-8). The ditch was 1372
Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project 23 observed transecting the southeast portion of the Project site. Two potential historic resources were assessed during the survey and recorded. No prehistoric or tribal resources were discovered during the field survey.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The Phase I cultural resource assessment for the Barr and Wood Tentative Subdivision Map Project was completed. The purpose of this assessment is to identify potential cultural resources within the 69.35-acre Project boundary in Tulare County, California. The Project proposes to construct a single-family residential development comprised of approximately 136 residential lots with park strip landscaping, streets, streetlights and sidewalks and a pond. The Project site will also be annexed into the City of Visalia.

The SSJVIC reported that two previous cultural resource investigations have been conducted within the Project area and no cultural resources were recorded within the Project area. Taylored Archaeology reviewed the two cultural resource investigations (TU-00041 and TU-01190) - both are literature reviews and are not surveys of the Project area. The SSJVIC identified five previous investigations and two recorded historical resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the Project boundary: 3431 S. Shirk Street, a rural residential home (P-54-005058) and 6440 W. Cadwell Avenue, a rural residential home (P-54-005059).

The NAHC stated a search of its Sacred Lands File was negative. Local tribes were previously contacted by the City of Visalia under AB 52. The pedestrian survey of the Project site did not identify any prehistoric resources on the ground surface. However, a segment of the South Fork Persian Ditch was identified and recorded on DPR forms but was not formally evaluated for significance and eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources. According to the Project description, the ditch will remain open in its present condition with only a single bridge crossing the ditch within the Project boundary.

Because the Project proposes no substantial change to the ditch, there is no expected adverse change to this historical resource.

In the event that previously unidentified archaeological remains are encountered during development or ground-moving activities in the Project area, all work should be halted until a qualified archaeologist can identify the discovery and assess its significance. In the event of accidental discovery of unidentified archaeological remains during development or groundmoving activities in the Project area, all work shall be halted in the immediate vicinity (within a 100-foot radius) until a qualified archaeologist can identify the discovery and assess its significance.

If human remains are uncovered during construction, the Tulare County Coroner is to be notified to investigate the remains and arrange proper treatment and disposition. If the remains are identified on the basis of archaeological context, age, cultural associations, or biological traits to be those of a Native American, California Health and Safety Code 7050.5 and PRC 5097.98 require that the coroner notify the NAHC within 24 hours of discovery. The NAHC will then identify the Most Likely Descendent who will be afforded an opportunity to make recommendations regarding the treatment and disposition of the remains. 1375
