1. UNDERTAKING DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION Federal Project. Number. District County (Prefix, Agency Code, Project No.) Location 5 MNT BHLO-5944(099) Carmel Valley Project Description: The County of Monterey, with funding administered through the Federal Highway Administration and in coordination with the California Department of Transportation, proposes the Robinson Canyon Road Bridge Scour Repair Project (project), Monterey County, California. The project will repair scour damage at the south abutment and pier supporting the Robinson Canyon Road Bridge (Bridge #44C-0017) over the Carmel River (Attachment 1: Figures 1 ‒ 3). The project will address erosion and scour at the south bridge abutment and along the south bank of the Carmel River. An Articulated Concrete Block Mat (ACB) will be attached to the north side of the abutment, placed along the south side of the river bank, and tied into the proposed rock slope protection (RSP) at the south side of Pier 2. The ACB will be approximately 60 feet long and 87 feet wide. The ACB system will be backfilled with 1 foot of native material. The proposed project does not require modifications to the concrete pile cap or abutment piles at the south abutment. RSP will be placed at piers 2 and 3 to address erosion and scour. RSP at Pier 2 will extend 8.5 feet from the south side of Pier 2 to 7.5 feet north of Pier 2. The RSP at Pier 2 will be approximately 8 feet deep at the deepest point. The RSP at Pier 3 will extend 5 feet from both the north and south side of the pile cap and will be approximately 5.5 feet deep at the deepest point. The RSP at Pier 2 and 3 will be backfilled with 1 foot of native material. Aside from the proposed scour countermeasures, the existing piers will not be modified as part of the project. Project staging will take place on parcels on both sides of the river. Access routes may be cut into the riverbanks to 4 feet deep.

2. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS In accordance with Section 106 Programmatic Agreement Stipulation VIII.A, the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project was established in consultation with Krisstin Sibley, PQS Principal Investigator, Prehistoric Archaeology, and Reinie Jones, Caltrans Project Engineer, on August 24, 2016. The APE map is located in Attachment 1 of this Historic Property Survey Report (Attachment 1: Figure 3).

Archaeological APE The Archaeological APE has been delineated to include the entirety of ground-disturbing activities consisting of abutment and pier scour countermeasures, access route grading, and project staging. The project will not require right-of-way acquisition although temporary construction easements will be needed to access the work site from adjoining properties. No permanent improvements will be made to adjoining properties.

The table below (Table A) lists the depth of ground disturbance in the APE.

3. CONSULTING PARTIES / PUBLIC PARTICIPATION X Native American Heritage Commission (Attachment 2) On April 30, 2015, LSA sent a letter describing the project with maps depicting the APE to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento asking the Commission to review their Sacred Lands File for any Native American cultural resources that might be affected by the project. LSA also requested the names of Native Americans who might have information or concerns about the project. In a fax dated May 27, 2016, Ms. Katy Sanchez, Associate Government Program Analyst, informed LSA that a records search of the Sacred Lands File did not “indicate the presence of Native American cultural resources in the immediate project area.” Ms. Sanchez also provided a list of Native American contacts. X Native American Tribes, Groups and Individuals (Attachment 3) Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Action Consultation On June 3, 2016, LSA sent a letter with maps to the Native Americans listed on the NAHC contacts list, requesting information or concerns they might have regarding tribal cultural resources. Responses are documented in Table C.

She also stated that any artifacts identified during construction should be submitted to OCEN.

X Local Historical Society / Historic Preservation Group (Attachment 4) On May 25, 2016, LSA sent letters describing the project and maps depicting the APE to the Monterey County Historical Society (MCHS) and the Carmel Heritage Society (CHS) requesting any information or concerns they may have about the project. In an email dated July 20, 2016, MCHS Curator and Archivist James Perry stated the following: “I have a few thoughts about these bridges that merit some consideration: Any historical plaques (if any) located on or attached to these bridges relating to their original construction date needs to be retrieved and saved, if possible; and 1)The original plaque(s) could be re-installed somewhere on the new bridge, or 2) The plaques can be forwarded to our institution given the fact that we have been approved by CalTrans as a repository for historical artifacts. Please let me know if you need any clarification.” During a June 9, 2016, telephone conversation, CHS Board Member Jeff Ohlson requested that the letter and maps be sent again. The letter and maps were sent the same day to Mr. Perry. No response has been received to date.

4. SUMMARY OF IDENTIFICATION EFFORTS

X National Register of Historic Places X California Points of Historical Interest X California Register of Historical Resources X California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) X California Inventory of Historic Resources X Caltrans Historic Highway Bridge Inventory X California Historical Landmarks X Other Sources consulted A records search (#14-1422) of the APE and a 1-mile radius was conducted at the Northwest Information Center on April 16, 2015. The Caltrans Historic Bridge Inventory lists the bridge (#44C-0 017) as not eligible for inclusion

[HPSR form rev 08/07/15] Caltrans, Division of Environmental Analysis. Copyright © 2014 State of California. All rights reserved. Alteration to the title and section headings is prohibited.

in the NRHP (Attachment 5). The records search did not identify any cultural resources or studies within the APE or the 1-mile records search radius.

Results: No cultural resources have been recorded within the APE. The following resources have been recorded within the 1-mile records search radius (Attachment 1: Figure 4): • CA-MNT-23 (P-27-000159). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a single bedrock mortar cup approximately one mile east of the APE (Pilling and Fisher 1948). • CA-MNT-26 (P-27-000162). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a concentration of bedrock mortar cups approximately 0.25 miles south of the APE (Pilling 1948a). • CA-MNT-28 (P-27-0000164). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a “small habitation site containing shell fragments and millingstone tools approximately 0.75 miles south of the APE (Pilling 1948b). • CA-MNT-499. This prehistoric archaeological site consists of two human burials approximately 500 feet west of the APE (Breschini 2003).

• CA-MNT-2147 (P-27-002665). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a single bedrock mortar cup approximately 0.5 miles south of the APE (Doane 2003). • CA-MNT-2280 (P-27-002962). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of two human burials, millingstones, and an obsidian biface approximately 250 feet east of the APE. The site’s constituents are described as follows: “…prehistoric site highly disturbed context with numberous protable mortars both complete and fragmentary and 2 known Native American burials; may be a site where mortars were being manufactured. This may be the ethnographic village local of Socorronda. Sparse remnants of red abalone and mussel shell, over 10 complete and fragmentary mortars of Carmel stone, sandstone, greywacke, sparse lithics; mortars were recovered in disturbed contexts. One complete 10 cm obsidian biface recovered from backdirt near historic ranch house. One burial was removed and one remains in place with an olive tree planted above it” (Pilling 1948b).

Dear Chairperson Miranda-Ramirez: The County of Monterey Public Works Department (County) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 5 are conducting environmental studies for the following bridge projects in Monterey County (Figure 1): • Gonzales Road Bridge Replacement Project The proposed project will construct new abutments and replace the decking on the Gonzales Road Bridge over the Salinas River (Figure 2).

• Robinson Canyon Road Bridge Scour Countermeasure Project The proposed project will repair scour damage at the south abutment and pier supporting the Robinson Canyon Creek Bridge over the Carmel River (Figure 3).

• Johnson Road Bridge Replacement Project The proposed project will replace the structurally and seismically deficient Johnson Road Bridge over Carneros Creek (Figure 4).

• Hartnell Road Bridge Replacement Project The proposed project will replace the structurally deficient Hartnell Road Bridge over Alisal Creek (Figure 5).

The proposed projects are currently under environmental review as part of compliance efforts for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106), the National Environmental Policy Act, and the California Environmental Quality Act. Caltrans is the lead agency responsible for Section 106 compliance on the proposed projects. To address part of the requirements of these statutes, LSA is assisting Caltrans by initiating Native American consultation, particularly to address the requirements of Section 106.

LSA conducted background research for the proposed Area of Potential Effects (APE) for each project, including a records search, survey, and a Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Land File review. These tasks did not identify any cultural resources in the APEs. (Please note: The

6/3/16 (P:\TRT1505 Robinson Bridge\Cultural\Consultation\Native American Consultation\Louise Miranda-Ramirez.doc)

Gonzales Bridge APE has not been finalized and therefore has not been surveyed.) The records search for the Robinson Canyon Road Bridge Replacement Project did, however, identify prehistoric archaeological site CA-MNT-499 with human burials approximately 500 feet west of the APE and prehistoric archaeological site CA-MNT-2280 with human burials approximately 250 feet east of the APE. The Robinson Canyon Road Bridge Replacement APE is considered archaeologically sensitive whereas the other bridge project APEs are not.

Caltrans would like to provide you with an opportunity to communicate concerns you might have about the proposed projects’ APEs. Caltrans requests your participation in the identification and protection of cultural resources, sacred lands, or other heritage sites within the above-described APEs due to your specialized knowledge of the area. If you or any of your tribal members have any questions or concerns regarding these projects, please contact me at (510) 236-6810 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Sincerely,

AUGUST 2016 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT ROBINSON CANYON ROAD BRIDGE SCOUR REPAIR PROJECT MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The County of Monterey, with funding administered through the Federal Highway Administration and in coordination with the California Department of Transportation, proposes the Robinson Canyon Road Bridge Scour Repair Project (project), Monterey County, California. The project will repair scour damage at the south abutment and pier supporting the Robinson Canyon Road Bridge (Bridge #44C- 017) over the Carmel River (Appendix A: Figures 1 and 2).

The project will rely on federal funding and meets the definition of an “undertaking” according to 36 CFR §800.16(y). The California Department of Transportation, acting as the lead agency under the delegated authority of the Federal Highway Administration, is providing oversight of this undertaking in accordance with the 2014 First Amended Programmatic Agreement Among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as it Pertains to the Administration of the Federal-Aid Highway Program in California.

This Archaeological Survey Report also addresses requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act under authority delegated to the California Department of Transportation by the Federal Highway Administration in accordance with the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding between the FHWA and Caltrans concerning the State of California’s Participation in the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Pilot Program Pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327, which became effective October 1, 2012 (California Department of Transportation 2012). The California Department of Transportation is acting as the lead federal agency for this undertaking and providing regulatory oversight. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327, as amended by Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), which allows the California Department of Transportation environmental review and consultation responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act. This Archaeological Survey Report also addresses requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.

This Archaeological Survey Report consisted of background research, archaeological field surveys, consultation with potentially interested parties, and an archaeological sensitivity assessment. The records search and surveys did not identify archaeological deposits. The sensitivity assessment identifies high sensitivity for encountering buried archaeological cultural resources in the Area of Potential Effects.

It is the policy of the California Department of Transportation to avoid cultural resources whenever possible. Further investigations may be needed if the site(s) cannot be avoided by the project. If buried cultural materials are encountered during construction, Caltrans’ policy work stop in that area until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the find. Additional survey will be required if the project changes to include areas not previously surveyed.

2.0 PROJECT LOCATION, PROJECT DESCRIPTION, AND AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS

2.1 PROJECT LOCATION The APE is in the Carmel Valley, approximately 6 miles east of Highway 1 in Monterey County, California. The APE is situated in the riverbed and banks of the Carmel River in an environmental setting that has the potential to contain archaeological cultural resources.

2.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project will address erosion and scour at the south bridge abutment and along the south bank of the Carmel River. An Articulated Concrete Block Mat (ACB) will be attached to the north side of the abutment, placed along the south side of the river bank, and tied into the proposed rock slope protection (RSP) at the south side of Pier 2. The ACB will be approximately 60 feet long and 87 feet wide. The ACB system will be backfilled with 1 foot of native material. The proposed project does not require modifications to the concrete pile cap or abutment piles at the south abutment.

RSP will be placed at piers 2 and 3 to address erosion and scour. RSP at Pier 2 will extend 8.5 feet from the south side of Pier 2 to 7.5 feet north of Pier 2. The RSP at Pier 2 will be approximately 8 feet deep at the deepest point. The RSP at Pier 3 will extend 5 feet from both the north and south side of the pile cap and will be approximately 5.5 feet deep at the deepest point. The RSP at Pier 2 and 3 will be backfilled with 1 foot of native material. Aside from the proposed scour countermeasures, the existing piers will not be modified as part of the project.

Project staging will take place on parcels on both sides of the river. Access routes may be cut into the riverbanks to 4 feet deep.

2.3 AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS The APE has been bounded to include the maximum extent of ground disturbance including access route, staging, and work areas. The project will not require right-of-way acquisition although temporary construction easements will be needed to access the work site from adjoining properties.

3.0 SOURCES CONSULTED

Background research was conducted to identify previously recorded cultural resources and studies within and adjacent to the APE. The background research consisted of a records search and a literature review.

3.1 RECORDS SEARCH LSA conducted a records search (#14-1422) at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of the APE and a 1-mile radius on April 16, 2015. The NWIC, an affiliate of the State of California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), is the official state repository of cultural resource records and reports for Monterey County. The records search included a review of the following federal and state inventories: • California Inventory of Historic Resources (California Office of Historic Preservation 1976); • Five Views: An Ethnic Historic Site Survey for California (California Office of Historic Preservation 1988); • California Points of Historical Interest (California Office of Historic Preservation 1992); • Caltrans Historic Bridge Inventory (California Department of Transportation 2005); • California Historical Landmarks (California Office of Historic Preservation 1996); and • Directory of Properties in the Historic Property Data File (California Office of Historic Preservation 2012). The directory includes the listings of the National Register of Historic Places, National Historic Landmarks, the California Register of Historical Resources, California Historical Landmarks, and California Points of Historical Interest.

The Caltrans Historic Bridge Inventory lists the bridge (#44C-0017) as not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (Appendix B).

Results: No cultural resources have been recorded within the APE. The following resources have been recorded within the 1-mile records search radius (Appendix A: Figure 4): • CA-MNT-23 (P-27-000159). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a single bedrock mortar cup approximately 1 mile east of the APE (Pilling and Fisher 1948). • CA-MNT-26 (P-27-000162). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a concentration of bedrock mortar cups approximately 0.25 miles south of the APE (Pilling 1948a). • CA-MNT-28 (P-27-0000164). This prehistoric archaeological site consists of a “small habitation site containing shell fragments and millingstone tools approximately 0.75 miles south of the APE (Pilling 1948b). • CA-MNT-499. This prehistoric archaeological site consists of two human burials approximately 500 feet west of the APE (Breschini 2003).

She also stated that any artifacts identified during construction should be submitted to OCEN.

4.2 HISTORICAL ORGANIZATION CONSULTATION On May 25, 2016, LSA sent letters describing the project and maps depicting the APE to the Monterey County Historical Society (MCHS) and the Carmel Heritage Society (CHS) requesting any information or concerns they may have about the project (Appendix D). In an email dated July 20, 2016, MCHS Curator and Archivist James Perry stated the following: “I have a few thoughts about these bridges that merit some consideration: Any historical plaques (if any) located on or attached to these bridges relating to their original construction date needs to be retrieved and saved, if possible; and 1)The original plaque(s) could be re-installed somewhere on the new bridge, or 2) The plaques can be forwarded to our institution given the fact that we have been approved by CalTrans as a repository for historical artifacts. Please let me know if you need any clarification.” During a June 9, 2016, telephone conversation, CHS Board Member Jeff Ohlson requested that the letter and maps be sent again. The letter and maps were sent the same day to Mr. Perry. No response has been received to date.

5.0 BACKGROUND

5.1 ENVIRONMENT The APE is situated at 100 feet above sea level in the riverbed and south bank of the Carmel River. The vicinity of the APE consists of the valley floor along the Carmel River, surrounded by hills of the Coast Range. Residential development is on both sides of the APE. The Project is in unincorporated Carmel Valley Village, with a population of 4,407.

5.2 PREHISTORY The prehistoric chronology for the Monterey Bay Area, including the Carmel Valley, is described in Jones et al. (2007), who identify six cultural periods for the Central Coast region. This chronology— which relies heavily on Olivella shell bead horizon sequences—consists of the Paleo-Indian (pre- 8000 cal. B.C.), Millingstone (8,000 to 3,500 cal. B.C.), Early (3,500 to 600 cal. B.C.), Middle (600 cal. B.C. to cal. A.D. 1000), Middle/Late Transition (cal. A.D. 1000 to 1250), and Late (cal. A.D. 1250 to 1769) periods. Recently, however, Breschini and Haversat (2011) have questioned the validity of this sequence for the Monterey Peninsula area, suggesting the Central Coast sequence proposed by Jones et al. (2007) does not account for chronological data derived from numerous radiocarbon dates from sites in the Monterey Peninsula area.

The two earliest chronological periods identified for the Central Coast region, as described by Jones et al. 2007), have not been identified in the Monterey Bay area. Although evidence for Paleo-Indian occupation in the Central Coast is suggested by the presence of isolated fluted projectile points, no components have been dated to this period (Jones et al. 2007:135). As noted by Jones et al. (2007:135) the Early Holocene Millingstone Period sites include “large numbers of well-made handstones and/or millingslabs, crude core and cobble-core tools, and less abundant flake tools and large side-notched projectile points.” Although Early Holocene sites have been identified in the Monterey Bay area, none appear to be Millingstone components. Early Holocene sites from this area include abundant marine and terrestrial faunal remains (suggesting a hunting emphasis) and infrequent handstones and millingslabs (Breschini and Haversat 2011).

In the Monterey Bay area, most Early Period sites are found along the shoreline and include assemblages containing contracting-stemmed, Rossi square-stemmed, Ano Nuevo long-stemmed, and large side-notched projectile points; a retention of some Millingstone Period traits, including the handstone and millingslab; cobble-core tools; and mortars and pestles, which appear for the first time in the local archaeological record. Early Period site assemblages indicate a generalized forager adaptation that includes hunting, fishing, and gathering (Breschini and Haversat 2011:13).

The Middle Period is marked by the disappearance of square-stemmed and large side-notched variants, while contracting-stemmed projectile points are retained. Towards the end of the period, small leaf-shaped projectile points appear, indicating the introduction of the bow-and-arrow. Groundstone assemblages retain the millingslab and handstone, although portable mortars and pestles are more common in some assemblages.

Notably, Breschini and Haversat (2011:15-16) identify a chronological “gap” in the local archaeological record between 200 cal. B.C. and cal. A.D. 700 during the Middle Period, suggesting abandonment or cultural displacement of populations in this area, or a significant change in the local subsistence and settlement pattern.

The Middle/Late Transition Period occurred at different times in different areas of the Central Coast, although it is generally seen in assemblages sometime after A.D. 1000. The Middle/Late Transition is marked by the appearance of double side-notched and Cottonwood projectile points, with retention of older, contracting-stemmed and small leaf-shaped projectile point types. Evidence of the Middle/Late Transition has not been identified in the Monterey Bay area, however (Breschini and Haversat 2011:19), and the timing and presence of this period in the Central Coast is an important research topic.

The Late Period is characterized by an artifact assemblage that includes abundant Desert side-notched and Cottonwood projectile points, small bifacial bead drills, bedrock and hopper mortars, lipped (Class E) and cupped (Class K) Olivella beads, and steatite beads. Late Period sites in the Monterey Peninsula suggest population expansion, although sites are most abundant in the interior (Breschini and Haversat 2011:18-19; Jones et al. 2007:140).

5.3 ETHNOGRAPHY The APE is situated within the ancestral territory of the Esselen people. Knowledge of Esselen linguistic data is very limited. The exact boundaries of Esselen territory in Monterey Bay are unknown, although they certainly included much of the Carmel Valley (Hester 1978:496). These boundaries also stretched from the Pacific Coast to Junipero Serra Peak in the east. The Esselen were neighbored by Costanoan and Salinan groups.

Knowledge of Esselen settlement patterns and cultural distinctions is limited as well. The Esselen were the first indigenous group whose culture disappeared following the arrival of the Europeans. Accounts describe the groups living in coastal villages, however most available information about the Esselen was taken from the accounts of their neighbors long after the group had disappeared (Hester 1978:497) The Esselen lived in tribelets, which were autonomous political units that occupied a distinct territory (Kroeber 1925). Tribelets generally consisted of one main village occupied year round and a series of smaller hamlets and resource gathering and processing locations occupied intermittently or seasonally. Tribelet population ranged between 50 and 500 persons and was largely determined by the carrying capacity of a tribelet’s territory. Researchers have been able to identify six Esselen tribelets in the region: Excelen, Echilat, El Pino, Cuchunu, Eslenajan, and Tucutnut. Many of these tribelets included subsidiary settelements as well (Hester 1978:497).

Important food staples included acorns gathered from different oak species; nuts from the buckeye tree; hazelnuts; grassland and plant seeds from dandelion and wild turnip. The diet was supplemented with hunting and gathering numerous creek, shore, and terrestrial species (Levy 1978:491-492; Margolin 1978:40). Small creeks in the hills were fished for trout, while groups with access to bay and estuarine resources acquired abalone at Aulon Point near Pacific Grove. Abalone meat was removed from the shell and skewered on reeds to dry for storage. The Esselen also hunted small terrestrial animals as game, including dogs, skunks, rabbits, and lizards.

The Isabella Meadow Site is one of the few fully-reported Esselen archaeological sites in the region, and provides critical information into Esselen cultural practices. A child’s burial site included traditional clothing and jewelry, as well as trade glass beads. This suggests that it was inhabited into the historic era. The site also included artifacts such as a basket, cordage, projectile shafts, abalone shell containers, and other items associated with domestic uses. This site suggests the Esselen lived in small groups and relocated often to sites both inland and near the coast (Hester 1978:498).

By the late 18th century, Spanish exploration and settlement of the Bay Area and Central Coast transformed Esselen culture. Spanish settlers moved into northern California and established the mission system that exposed the Esselen to diseases to which they had no immunity, with Mission San Carlos Borromeo established in 1770. The Spanish gathered the Esselen into the Mission, where they were initially described as friendly and helpful people. The group did not thrive under this system however, and after 20 years the remaining population was described as being in a very unhealthy state (Hester 1978:498). The group vanished completely as a culture shortly afterward.

5.4 HISTORY Euro-American exploration of the Carmel Valley began in 1603, when Sebastien Vizcaino encountered the Carmel River in January of that year. It is believed he named the river after the three Carmelite friars who were part of the exploration party (Gudde 1998:66). In 1771, Mission San Carlos moved from Monterey to the site of Mission Carmelo, near the Carmel River. The early agricultural efforts of the Mission were unsuccessful given a lack of knowledge of the soil quality in the area. In 1771, Father Junipero Serra wrote to Francisco Palou about these difficulties saying,

“Everything came out fine, but nothing grew to maturity. We were all greatly puzzled. Later we found out that the ground, while showing no signs of it, at times is washed over by the salt water of the bay and so is fit for nothing but nettles and reeds” (Carmel Valley Association 2010).

After several years of trial and error, farmers in the area began to cultivate wheat and raise cattle to sustain the settlement. They were also able to capitalize on coastal resources for seafood harvests, namely sardines.

In 1833, the Mexican congress passed the Secularization Act, which directed the breakup of California’s 21 missions as a means to transfer mission lands to settlers. Land grants in the Carmel Valley created several ranchos, including the Rancho Los Tularcitos, which was one of the largest. Rancho Los Tularcitos included 26, 581 acres and encompassed a northern portion of the Carmel River. The rancho was granted to Rafael Gomez in 1834 by José Figueroa, who was the governor of the Alta California from 1833 to 1835. Gomez’ widow, Josefa Antonia Gomez de Walters, filled a claim for the rancho with the Public Land Commision in 1852 following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The couple’s heirs received a patent for the rancho in 1866 (Kyle 1990: 226).

Agriculture in the Carmel Valley was frequently threatened by recurring floods in the area. One of the worst flood events in the area occurred in 1862. In 1892, The San Francsico Call reported a dam breaking in Mount Carmel and washing out railroads and homes in the town of Robinson (1892:1). In 1900, The San Francisco Call reported plans for Carmel Valley sugar beet farmers to enter into contracts with the Spreckels Sugar Company, which increased industrial profits. The expected

benefits were enough to facilitate the construction of a Southern Pacific branch railroad in Monterey to expedite beet shipments to sugar refineries (San Francisco Call 1900:5) in 1905; the Pacific Improvement Company built a dam in the Carmel Valley to protect farmers from flooding by the Carmel River at a cost of $300,000. Water from the reservoir created by the dam was pumped to Monterey, Pacific Grove, and other surrounding communities (San Francisco Call 1905:33).

Modern industries in Carmel Valley still include the production of broccoli, cauliflower, and lettuce. Over two thirds of Monterey County’s 1.5 million total acreage is devoted to agriculture (Delsol 2011).

6.0 FIELD METHODS

LSA archaeologist and architectural historian Neal Kaptain surveyed 90 percent of the APE on February 18, 2016 (Appendix A: Figure 4). The portion of the APE above the riparian corridor was readily accessible with varying degrees of vegetation and was surveyed using zig-zag transects spaced no wider than 30 feet. Where turf or other vegetation obstructed the view of the ground’s surface, trowel scrapes were done every 60 feet along each transect route to obtain a view of the soil. Survey in the riparian corridor was limited by dense plants and trees. Survey in the riverbed was limited to the sandy area under the north abutment and the access route from the northwest staging area. High water in the Carmel River prevented inspection of the scour repair site at the south abutment.

On May 9, 2016, LSA archaeologist Ryan Gross accessed the scour repair location and examined the ground’s surface there.

7.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY ASSESSMENT

7.1 INTRODUCTION LSA reviewed the APE’s archaeological sensitivity using the results of the records search, soils research, and field survey. The assessment is presented below.

7.2 RECORDS SEARCH No archaeological sites have been recorded in the APE. Two prehistoric archaeological sites containing human burials have been recorded 250 and 500 feet from the APE.

Map review identified three houses depicted in the northwest staging area; two houses are depicted in the northeast staging area.

7.3 SOILS RESEARCH Soils within the APE consist largely of poorly developed Tujunga Fine Sand (Cook 1978). Poorly developed soils may contain buried land surfaces that were suitable for occupation by Native Americans (Meyer and Rosenthal 2007).

7.4 FIELD SURVEY The field surveys did not identify any archaeological deposits in the APE. The survey focused on the staging areas, the access route from the northwest staging area to the worksite, and the riverbed location where rock slope projection will be installed.

7.5 CONCLUSION The portion of the APE in the frequently flooded riverbed is unlikely to contain intact, National Register-eligible archaeological deposits. While the riverbanks may be sensitive for buried archaeological deposits, the project plans no substantial ground disturbance at those locations: the one riverbank where there will be substantial excavation to construct an access road was carefully examined for archaeological deposits and none was observed. There will be little to no ground disturbance in the staging areas. The ground’s surface in these locations was examined during the field survey and no archaeological deposits were identified. The project has little potential to affect archaeological cultural resources.

8.0 STUDY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

This ASR study did not identify any archaeological cultural resources in or adjacent to the APE. Although the APE is situated in a region that is archaeologically sensitive, the project does not propose any ground disturbance in locations where archaeological deposits might be affected. The project has little potential to affect historic properties and the level of identification effort documented in this ASR is commensurate with the limited scope of this project and no further cultural resources studies are needed (36 CFR§800.4(b)(1)).

If previously unidentified cultural materials are unearthed during construction, it is Caltrans’ policy that work be halted in that area until a qualified archaeologist can assess the significance of the find. Additional archaeological survey will be needed if project limits are extended beyond the present survey limits.
