Garaventa Hills Project i January 2012 Management Summary William Self Associates, Inc. (WSA) has been contracted by Lamphier-Gregory on behalf of the City of Livermore to perform a cultural resource assessment of the proposed Garaventa Hills Project (Project). The Project will develop a 76-unit residential subdivision on a 31.7-acre site of vacant grazing land in the northern part of the City of Livermore, Alameda County, California. As the Project will involve a realignment of Altamont Creek, which would affect waters of the United States, the Project proponent must meet requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and therefore, is seeking a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), Sacramento District. Under the jurisdiction of the ACOE, the project must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), in addition to the cultural and paleontological resources provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report was prepared pursuant to those requirements. WSA implemented a records search, conducted by the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California, of a ¼-mile radius surrounding the proposed Project area. Results indicate that no archaeological sites have been previously recorded within ¼-mile of the Project area, no historic buildings have been recorded within ¼-mile of the Project area, and no buildings located within ¼-mile of the Project area are listed in the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Historic Properties Directory. WSA archaeologists Matthew Russell and David Buckley conducted a pedestrian field survey of the Project area on December 19, 2011. No historic properties, historical resources, or unique archaeological resources were observed. WSA also conducted a paleontological resources assessment to address potential Project impacts to paleontological resources, and found that there is a high potential for significant fossils to be present within the Project area. This Cultural Resources Assessment Report (CRAR) defines the Project area, presents the results of the records search and Native American consultation, describes the field survey of the Project area and presents the results, assesses the significance of the findings, and proposes mitigation measures for cultural and paleontological resources. The proposed Project will not have a substantial adverse change in the significance of any historic properties, historical resources, or unique archaeological resources. Should any previously unknown cultural resources be discovered during construction, their significance would have to be determined in relation to the criteria for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historic Places (CRHP). Cultural Resources Assessment Report William Self Associates, Inc. Garaventa Hills Project ii January 2012 1.0 Introduction William Self Associates, Inc. (WSA) has been contracted by Lamphier-Gregory to perform a cultural resource assessment of the proposed Garaventa Hills Project (Project). The Project will develop a 76-unit residential subdivision on a 31.7-acre parcel of vacant grazing land in north Livermore, Alameda County, California. WSA implemented a records search, conducted by the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California, of a ¼-mile radius surrounding the proposed Project area.

  • LIVERMORE AMADOR VALLEY TRANSIT AUTHORITY Unique
    LIVERMORE AMADOR VALLEY TRANSIT AUTHORITY Unique Opportunity – Director of Planning and Operations (Livermore, California) How would you like to work for a progressive transit agency in the beautiful California Bay Area? The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority is proud to advertise this position of Director of Planning and Operations in Livermore, California. The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority provides bus service for the Tri-Valley area, connecting communities while easing congestion, reducing pollution, and making the region a better place to live. The agency is also actively engaged in regional rail planning and project delivery, providing administrative services to the newly organized Tri-Valley – San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority. In the Tri-Valley, thousands ride transit daily – with commute volumes from the Tri-Valley to San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties increasing 66% since 2007. With the Tri-Valley growing at a faster rate than the Bay Area as a whole, near-future transportation investments are crucial and will yield significant economic benefits for the entire mega-region. The Organization Created by a joint powers agreement in 1985, the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) provides area-wide transit services to the cities of Dublin (population 49,890), Livermore (population 86,870), and Pleasanton (population 69,829) and unincorporated areas of Alameda County. This area is located in eastern Alameda County, which is part of the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The LAVTA Board of Directors consists of two elected officials from each city and one member of the County Board of Supervisors. LAVTA is currently supported by a $18 million operating budget and 15 full-time employees.
