Under contract to CDM Smith, SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) prepared this report to identify historic resources potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), or as a City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM). The scope of work for this project includes both built environment and archaeological field surveys, archival research, and documentation of built environment eligible properties on appropriate Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Series 523 Series forms. Additionally, the scope of work includes an Extended Phase I investigation for a portion of the project area where archaeological materials were encountered on the ground surface. The project also includes preparation of a draft and final report detailing the results of the intensive surveys and subsequent property evaluation, Extended Phase I archaeological investigations, and a historic context statement. This study was carried out in order to provide the data and analysis necessary for possible redevelopment of the site. The proposed project, which spans a multi-acre site, would include ground disturbance as well as the demolition of multiple historic-age buildings and structures. In support of project planning, this cultural resources study assess the project’s potential effects on potential cultural resources located within the project area. Dates of Investigation: SWCA conducted the intensive-level built environment survey of the property on November 11, 2014. SWCA conducted the intensive-level archaeological survey of the property on December 19, 2014. The Extended Phase I investigations were conducted from May 12, 2015 through May 22, 2015. Laboratory analysis of materials recovered from the investigations was conducted from June of 2015 August of 2015. SWCA conducted archival research and preparation of the historic context throughout December 2014 and submitted a preliminary report in April 2015. Summary of Findings: As a result of the built environment/historic resources survey, five properties (identified in the table below) were recorded, and evaluated for NRHP and CRHR eligibility, as well as local designation as a City of Los Angeles HCM or Historic Property Overlay Zone. Of these, one (the Canner’s Steam Company Plant) was found eligible for listing in the CRHR and as an HCM and four were found not eligible for the NRHP, CRHR, or local designation (status code 6Z). Also within the survey area is a portion of the eastern terminus of the Vincent Thomas Bridge (specifically several concrete columns that support the bridge are located within the northern portion of the project site), which has been previously evaluated and determined to be eligible for listing on the NRHP and the CRHR. Therefore, per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), any project proposing the demolition of the eligible resource would cause a significant adverse impact to historical resources that cannot be mitigated to below the level of significance. i ADMIN FINAL Cultural Resources Evaluation Report for the Berths 226-236 Everport Container Terminal Project, Port of Los Angeles, City and County of Los Angeles, California CRHR Property Name Street Address Year Built Status Status Code Meaning Code Appears eligible for CRHR as an individual property through 249 Cannery survey evaluation.

Found ineligible for NRHP, ca. 1952- CRHR, or local designation Distribution Station 121 240 Terminal Way 57 6Z through survey evaluation. As a result of the archaeological survey and subsequent Extended Phase I Investigations, one archaeological site was identified. This site (POLA-SWCA-1) is recommended as eligible for listing on the CRHR under Criteria 1 and, 4. As proposed, any project develop on the 22-acre area will require grading that would disturb the archaeological deposit identified through this study. POLA-SWCA-1 may also be eligible for the NRHP; however, an NRHP eligibility was not made because the site is outside of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Permit Area and not directly or indirectly affected by the federal action/undertaking. As such, it is SWCA’s conclusion that the project will have a significant impact on the cultural resources (specifically archaeological site POLA-SWCA-1) identified as a result of this project under CEQA, and no impact under National Environmental Policy Act as no cultural resources were identified with the USACE Permit Area. Investigation Constraints: None. Preparer’s Qualifications: The project team was led by SWCA Project Manager Benjamin Vargas, M.A., Registered Professional Archaeologist (R.P.A.). Senior architectural historian Debi Howell-Ardila, M.H.P. and Principal Investigator Heather Gibson, Ph.D., RPA reviewed this report for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). SWCA architectural historians Steven Treffers, M.H.P., and Emily Williams, M.S.U.R.P., Benjamin Vargas, M.A., RPA, conducted project research and authored the report, and SWCA architectural historian Shannon Carmack carried out the built environment intensive-level pedestrian field survey, photo documentation, and additional research. Archaeological survey was conducted by SWCA staff archaeologist Ryan Moritz and the Extended Phase I Investigations were conducted under the direction of SWCA Field Director Gregorio Pacheco, B.A. and Mr. Vargas. Figures and maps were prepared by SWCA Geographic Information System (GIS) Manager William Hayden, M.A. and GIS technician Akbar Noorzay. All key project personnel meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards in their respective fields. Disposition of Data: The final report and any subsequent related reports will be filed with CDM Smith; the Port of Los Angeles Environmental Management Division; the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University, Fullerton; the USACE; and SWCA’s Pasadena office. All field notes, photographs, and records related to the current study are on file at the SWCA Pasadena office. Archaeological materials are currently being stored and prepared for curation at SWCA’s Pasadena Laboratory until a curation facility is located to house the collections. ii ADMIN FINAL Cultural Resources Evaluation Report for the Berths 226-236 Everport Container Terminal Project, Port of Los Angeles, City and County of Los Angeles, California CONTENTS Management Summary .............................................................................................................................. 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................................. 1 Project Description
