3. DISCUSSION ITEM: A. Development of Former Wyle Lab Property Staff indicated that San Diego-based Lansing Companies is the new owner of the approximately 450-acre former Wyle Lab site. The company had been researching opportunities for use of the property for two years.
Matthew Fagan, Matthew Fagan Consulting Services, Inc. introduced himself as the environmental consultant for the project, adding that he will be preparing an Environmental Impact Study. He reported that Lansing had prepared an Opportunities & Constraints Study and that he has been communicating with City staff and Consultant Bill Wilkman. Historic Preservation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes Page 2 May 9, 2017
Consultant Grody advised Mr. Fagan that Lansing would have an opportunity for a full presentation to the Commission in the future. He then introduced Planning Director Steve King to provide some further background on the site.
Director King explained the current restrictive zoning on the property and distributed a photo gallery illustrating both the natural topography and the concrete bunkers that remain from the Wyle era. Planning Director King indicated that he could arrange for tours for the Historic Preservation Commission Members so they could become better acquainted with the property.
4. CONSULTANT UPDATES: A. Cultural Resource (Consultant Wilkman) o Navy Base – Nothing to report
o National Register Nomination Consultant Wilkman reported on his progress with the National Register nomination for the Norconian. He indicated that the State had sent some comments on the nomination, which were relatively pro forma and would be responded to in due course. Consultant Wilkman said that after checking the schedule for the State Historical Resources Commission, he would like to make a presentation at the Commission’s October 2017 meeting, which will be held somewhere in Southern California. Consultant Wilkman also reported that Council Member Bash has assisted with the creation of a list of organizations likely to express support for the nomination and is also developing a history of the Navy in Norco that will be useful for presentations.
B. Collections Management Services (Consultant Wilson) Consultant Wilson updated the Commission on his progress at the Heritage Room. To illustrate the cataloging system, Consultant Wilson distributed samples of folders of materials, a system developed by past City Historian Ron Snow, to show as an example. He noted, for example, that Record Group (RG) 17 is newspapers, and within that RG there are a dozen different “series” for further detail. The system is very intuitive, easy to record and easy to retrieve. Consultant Wilson described how much progress he had made, which was clearly evident from the appearance of the room. A discussion ensued regarding the necessity to keep original copies of newspapers that were available online, as well as what factors were used to determine the priority of specific Record Groups.
5. COMMISSION MEMBER/CONSULTANT/STAFF COMMUNICATIONS A. Outreach Subcommittee: Nothing to report. B. Collection Advisory Subcommittee: Nothing to report
o Commission Member Edwards reported on a volunteer website called volunteermatch.org. o Consultant Wilson discussed the prospects for hanging the tapestry currently stored in the collection and Commission Member Edwards volunteered to assist. o Commission Member Overstreet reported on the approaching Norco Ranch Tour, scheduled May 20, 2017. o Vice Chair Stiller reported on the Norco Intermediate School’s History Museum, noting those kids would be at Norco High School next year and would make natural volunteers.

CITY OF NORCO STAFF REPORT
TO: Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Roger Grody, Economic Development Consultant
DATE: July 11, 2017
SUBJECT: CWA Consultants
RECOMMENDATION: Review proposal from CWA Consultants for FY 2017-18
SUMMARY: CWA Consultants (Chuck Wilson) has been assisting the Historic Preservation Commission for several years, most recently completing a $6,000 professional services agreement for Fiscal Year 2016-17. He has proposed to continue his work organizing the Heritage Room at the Community Center for another $6,000 contract, which is included in the recently adopted Fiscal Year 2017-18 City Budget.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: Mr. Wilson possesses many years of professional archiving experience for major universities, government agencies and cultural institutions throughout California. His is uniquely qualified to continue his work with the Commission, which is lucky to have access to his services.
FISCAL IMPACT: $6,000, already approved in Fiscal Year 2017-18 City Budget.
Attachment: 1) Proposal from CWA Consultants

TO: Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Bill Wilkman, Cultural Resources Consultant
DATE: July 11, 2017
SUBJECT: Separation of Church and State Lawsuit, Re: Navy Chapel
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file.
SUMMARY: On May 31, 2017, Vickie Grays, Community Resources Manager of the California Rehabilitation Center contacted Councilman Kevin Bash regarding a pending lawsuit that could require the removal of all religious symbols from the CRC Chapel as a matter of the U.S. Constitution’s separation of church and state provisions. In the case of the Chapel, this would pertain to the building’s stained glass windows, installed during World War II when the building served as the Chapel for the property’s World War II use as Naval Hospital Corona. Some of these stained glass windows include various religious symbols.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: WHS became aware of this matter soon after the email was received. City Manager Andy Okoro asked for input regarding this matter and the degree to which the City needed to be involved. Mr. Wilkman made HPC Chairperson Matt Potter and Vice Chairperson Diana Stiller aware of the matter and various ideas were discussed via email. One idea that was floated was to quickly designate the Chapel a local City of Norco Landmark. Mr. Wilkman reviewed the matter and determined that the property already appeared to be exempted from the lawsuit as a result of the pending National Register of Historic Places nomination under review by the State Office of Historic Preservation. The basis for this opinion was language in pertinent state law (HS Code, Division 13, Part 2.7, Section 18955) that exempts properties on existing or future registers or inventories of historic places. It was Mr. Wilkman’s recommendation that local designation not be considered until after the National Register eligibility of the property was completed. Mr. Okoro subsequently requested Mr. Wilkman to prepare a letter to Ms. Grays, asserting that the property appears to qualify for an exemption to the lawsuit on the basis of the pending nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. A copy of the letter sent to Ms. Grays by Mr. Okoro is attached to this staff report.

DATE: July 11, 2017
SUBJECT: Programmatic Agreement for Detachment Corona Property
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file.
SUMMARY: At a Navy Stakeholders Meeting held on June 8, 2017, the Navy introduced a proposal to create a programmatic agreement for the review of projects at Detachment Corona that might impact cultural resources. A programmatic agreement is a system that allows specified projects that could impact cultural resources to be reviewed at a staff level, rather than having to be processed through the State Office of Historic Preservation. Under such a program, identified stakeholders, such as the City of Norco would still be invited to comment on proposed projects, however, there would be no review by the State Historic Preservation Officer.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: Attached to this staff report is a rough draft of the programmatic agreement proposed to be established by the Navy for the Detachment Corona property. The agreement specifies the types of projects that can be reviewed with no OHP input. In general, the types of projects listed are routine in nature. Typical projects would include the replacement, repair, or renovation of buildings with like materials or materials historically associated with affected buildings. The Navy is early in its exploration of the establishment of a programmatic agreement and opportunities to comment on a draft proposal will occur in the future.
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
Attachments: 1) Rough Draft Programmatic Agreement
WHAT ARE PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENTS?
Programmatic Agreements (PAs) generally fall into two types: "project specific PAs" and "program PAs."
A federal agency may also pursue a "program PA" (36 CFR S 800.14(bX2)) when it '. wants to create a Section 106 process that differs from the standard review process and that will apply to all undertakings under a particular program.
Reasons justifying program PAs include having undertakings with similar or repetitive effects on historic properties, and to create a smoother Section 106 review process for routine projects.
The Navy wants a Programmatic Agreement to:
1) Reduce papenruork for non-historic and no adverse effect projects, such as: a. Paving, b. Painting, inside and outside, c. Flooring repairs and replacements, d. Plumbing replacements, e. Air conditioner unit installation, repairs, and replacements, f. Roofing repairs and replacements, g. Utilities repairs, replacements, and upgrades h. lnstallation of testing or operational equipment (temporary or permanent). 2) Save staff time that can then be utilized towards historic resources management, such as: a. Gazebo repairs, b. Building 209 preservation efforts, c. Building 204 emblem restoration, d. Pond landscape design, e. Removal of non-historic and intrusive added elements (fencing at pond/lake interface), f. Establishing historic district maintenance routines, i. Cleaning out gutters, ii. Modifying sprinkler systems to avoid building impacts, iii. Saving by maintaining character defining features of the HD.
Programmatic Agreement Documents are appropriate for multiple federal undertakings where:
1) effects to historic properties cannot be fully determined 2) for routine management activities by an agency, or 3) to tailor the standard Section 106 process to better fit in with the agency.
A Programmatic Agreement does NOT give the Navy the ability to have ADVERSE effects to historic properties without'proper consultation with SHPO and lnterested Parties. UNDERTAKINGS REQUIRING NO FURTHER SECTION 106 REVIEW
SPECIFIC UNDERTAKINGS Provided that personnel, as described in Authorizations and Qualifications, determine that the proposed work: (1) will be carried out in accordance with "The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatrhent of Historic Properties," NPS, 1997 (Standards), (2) is excluded by a provision within this attachment, the following undertakings will not require further consultation under this PA, (3) when a no historic properties affected determination is made by the Navy.
1-) General a. When referenced in this document, "in-kind" shall mean that the result will match visual characteristics of existing character-defining elements of historic properties. 2J Interior Work a.

TO: Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Bill Wilkman, Cultural Resources Consultant
DATE: July 11, 2017
SUBJECT: Cultural Resources Letter Report for Former Wyle Lab Property
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file
SUMMARY: At its May 9, 2017 meeting, the Historic Preservation Commission considered a summary report on a proposed 429 acre residential project in an area of rugged terrain in southeast Norco, previously owned by Wyle Laboratories. Wyle was an aerospace industry contractor that tested weapons systems on the site, beginning in 1957. As a result of Wyle’s activities, a portion of the property became contaminated with hazardous substances. Several years of remediation activities have now rendered some of the formerly contaminated areas suitable for development. Current zoning on the property is Preservation & Development, a restrictive designation that prohibits residential uses. The developer, Lansing Companies of San Diego is aware that General Plan and Zoning Code amendments will be necessary to develop the property as proposed.
Present at the May 8 meeting was Matthew Fagan, the developer’s environmental consultant. At that time, the only documentation on file at the City was an Opportunities and Constraints analysis of the property, showing areas where development could be concentrated and other areas where open space should be retained. This analysis was presented to the Commission by Steve King, City Planning Director. A staff report prepared for the agenda item recommended the analysis be received and filed. Following a question and answer session, the Commission proceeded with its agenda.
Subsequent to the May 8 meeting Wilkman Historical Services (WHS) became aware that a Cultural Resources Letter Report had been completed on February 3, 2017. Authored by ASM Affiliates of San Diego, California, the report covered both archaeological and historical issues relevant to the property.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: WHS reviewed the letter report and consulted with archaeologist Gini Austerman regarding archaeological matters. Several concerns were identified by WHS and Ms. Austerman. WHS reviewed these concerns with ASM and other Lansing representatives in a conference call held on May 31, 2017. Subsequently, WHS prepared an email summarizing these concerns. Overall, WHS found the Cultural Resources Letter Report prepared by ASM Affiliates to be in need of Cultural Resources Letter Wyle Labs Page 2 July 11, 2017
further research and development. The ASM letter report and WHS comments email are attached to this staff report.

Re: Cultural Resource Survey Findings Memo for the Canyon Creek Resort Project, Norco, Riverside County, California
Dear Mr. Hoffman,
This letter report documents the results of the cultural resource survey conducted for the Canyon Creek Resort Project (Project) by ASM Affiliates, Inc. (ASM). The study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City of Norco requirements. The lead agency is the City of Norco (City). The study included a records search at the Eastern Information Center (EIC), a records search with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), archival research, and an intensive pedestrian archaeological and architectural history survey of the Project area.
Three cultural resources, CA-RIV-106, P-33-12615, and P-33-12616, have been previously recorded within the Project area. During the archaeological survey, P-33-12615 and P-33-12616 were relocated, and two additional cultural resource sites were identified, CC-1 and CC-2. RIV- 106 was not relocated. An evaluation, through subsurface testing, for significance under CEQA, eligibility to the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and eligibility to the City of Norco Landmark and Point of Historical Interest criteria is recommended for the cultural resource sites if they will be impacted by the proposed Project. Archaeological testing is also recommended for the location of RIV-106 to confirm if there are any subsurface cultural resources within the previously mapped location of the site.
The architectural history study identified three buildings, six structures, and 35 building pads associated with the Wyle Laboratories that are more than 45 years of age. ASM recommends that these buildings and structures be evaluated for significance under CEQA, eligibility to the CRHR, and eligibility to the City of Norco Landmark and Point of Historical Interest criteria. ASM did not find any buildings or structures on site that were associated with the Stringfellow Quarry.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The Project is located on 430 acres, on Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 123-080-028, 123-250- 00, 123-250-006, 123-250-007, 123-260-003, 123-260-004, 123-260-006, 123-320-001, 123- February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 2 of 50
330-001, 123-330-011, 123-260-010, and 123-330-036. The Project is within the City of Norco in Riverside County. The Project area is shown on the USGS 7.5-minute Corona North Topographic Quad Map within Sections 8, 17, and 18 of Township 3 South, Range 6 West (Figures 1 and 2). The Project area is located between Hillside Avenue and Valley Drive, north of Norco Hills Road.
The Project will develop the area for use as a mixed use resort. The Project design is shown on Figure 3.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
California Register of Historical Resources and CEQA
CEQA requires that all private and public activities not specifically exempted be evaluated against the potential for environmental damage, including effects to historical resources. Historical resources are recognized as part of the environment under CEQA. The act defines historical resources as “any object, building, structure, site, area, or place that is historically significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California” (Division I, Public Resources Code, Section 5021.1[b]).
Lead agencies have a responsibility to evaluate historical resources against the CRHR criteria prior to making a finding as to a proposed project’s impacts to historical resources. Mitigation of adverse impacts is required if the proposed project will cause substantial adverse change. Substantial adverse change includes demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration such that the significance of an historical resource would be impaired. While demolition and destruction are fairly obvious significant impacts, it is more difficult to assess when change, alteration, or relocation crosses the threshold of substantial adverse change. The CEQA Guidelines provide that a project that demolishes or alters those physical characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical significance (i.e., its character-defining features) is considered to materially impair the resource’s significance. The CRHR is used in the consideration of historical resources relative to significance for purposes of CEQA. The CRHR includes resources listed in, or formally determined eligible for listing in, the NRHP and some California State Landmarks and Points of Historical Interest. Properties of local significance that have been designated under a local preservation ordinance (local landmarks or landmark districts), or that have been identified in a local historical resources inventory, may be eligible for listing in the CRHR and are presumed to be significant resources for purposes of CEQA unless a preponderance of evidence indicates otherwise.
Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the CRHR (Pub. Res. Code SS5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852), which consist of the following: it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States; or February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 3 of 50
it is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history; or it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values; or it has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.
City of Norco Historic Landmark Designation and Point of Historical Interest
The City of Norco municipal code requires that cultural resources, including all buildings, structures, signs, objects, features, sites, places, areas, districts, neighborhoods, streets, works of art, natural features and significant permanent landscaping, be evaluated to determine if the have special historical, archaeological, cultural, architectural, community, aesthetic or artistic value to the City, as discussed in Chapter 2.26 and Title 20 of the City of Norco Municipal Code (http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Norco/#!/Norco20/Norco20.html). A cultural resource may be designated a landmark by the City Council upon recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission if it is determined eligible, retains integrity and meets one or more of the following criteria:
A. Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, architectural or natural history; or B. Is identified with persons or events significant in local, State or national history; or C. Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship; or D. Represents the work of a notable builder, designer or architect; or E. Has a unique location or singular physical characteristics or is a view or vista representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood community or of the City; or F. Reflects significant geographical patterns, including those associated with different eras of settlement and growth, particular transportation modes, or distinctive examples of park or community planning; or G. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory.
A landmark shall include all improvements, objects, or natural features named in the landmark designation resolution. To qualify for landmark status, an improvement, object, or natural feature must be at least 50 years old or older.
In addition, a cultural resource may be designated a Point of Historical Interest by the City Council upon recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
A. The resource qualifies for designation as a landmark; however, the property owner prefers designation as a point of historical interest. February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 4 of 50
B. The resource is less than 50 years old, but otherwise qualifies for designation as a landmark. C. The resource otherwise qualifies for designation as a landmark, but does not retain sufficient integrity.
The City of Norco’s Historic Preservation Commission recommends to the City Council the designation of cultural resources, including individual properties, archaeological districts, and historic preservation districts. The Commission also maintains a register of cultural resources within the City, which can be protected from demolition or substantial alteration.
CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Natural Setting
The project is located at the western edge of steep, rocky hills with much of the project area within a valley. An intermittent creek runs in a southwesterly direction through the valley. The project area was formerly used by Wyle Laboratories, a military electronics contractor. The former Stringfellow granite quarry is located within the eastern part of the Project area. Much of the valley floor on the north side of the creek, as well as the westernmost peak within the project area have been extensively developed with abandoned office buildings, unknown structures, foundation pads, paved roads, paved parking lots, piles of rubble, and underground facilities still present. Extensive graffiti covers most of the built structures. Several areas within the project area were closed to access due to ongoing environmental cleanup activities. The majority of the project area is covered in non-native grasses with a riparian corridor and associated plants along the creek.
Prehistoric Period
Archaeological investigations in Riverside County and elsewhere in southern California have documented a diverse range of prehistoric human occupations, extending from the terminal Pleistocene down to the time of European contact (Koerper and Drover 1983; Mason 1984; McKenna 1986; Wallace 1955; Warren 1968). To describe and discuss this diversity, local investigators have proposed a variety of different chronologies and conceptual categories (periods, horizons, stages, phases, traditions, cultures, peoples, industries, complexes, and patterns), often with confusingly overlapping or vague terminology. The prehistory of Norco and the surrounding area is most frequently divided chronologically into four periods: the Paleoindian period, prior to 6000 B.C.; The Milling Stone Horizon (Middle / Late Holocene Period) from 6000 B.C. to A.D. 750 A.D.; the Late Prehistoric Period, from A.D. 750 to 1750; and the Ethnohistoric Period, after 1750.
Paleoindian (pre-6000 B.C.)
Paleoindian assemblages include large stemmed projectile points, high proportions of formal lithic tools, bifacial lithic reduction strategies, and relatively small proportions of ground stone tools. These tools suggest a reliance on hunting rather than gathering. In general, hunting-related tools are more common during this period and are replaced by processing tools during the early Holocene (Basgall and Hall 1990). February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 5 of 50
Milling Stone Horizon, Late/Middle Holocene (6000 B.C. – 750 A.D.)
The Milling Stone Horizon is characterized by the presence of hand stones, milling stones, choppers, and scrapers. These tools are thought to be associated with seed gathering and processing and limited hunting activities. The artifacts from this period show a major shift in the exploitation of natural resources. Adaptations during this period apparently emphasized gathering, in particular the harvesting of hard plant seeds, as well as small-game hunting. Distinctive characteristics from this Period include extensive shell middens, near the coast, portable ground stone metates and manos, crudely flaked cobble tools, occasional large expanding-stemmed projectile points (Pinto and Elko forms), and flexed human burials. Investigators have called attention to the apparent stability and conservatism throughout this long period, as contrasted with less conservative patterns observed elsewhere in coastal southern California.
Late Prehistoric Horizon (A.D. 750-1750) Like much of Southern California, this horizon in the general Project area is characterized primarily on the basis of three major innovations: the use of small projectile points (Desert Side- notched, Cottonwood triangular, and Dos Cabezas forms), associated with the adoption of the bow and arrow in place of the atlatl as a primary hunting tool and weapon; brownware pottery, presumably supplementing some of the continued use of basketry and other containers; and the practice of human cremation in place of inhumation. In addition, Steatite containers, asphaltum items, mortars and pestles, and bedrock mortars are also common artifacts.
Traits characterizing the Late Prehistoric period include greater reliance on acorns as an abundant but labor-expensive food resource, a greater emphasis on hunting of both large and small game (particularly deer and rabbits), a greater amount of interregional exchange (seen notably in more use of obsidian), more elaboration of nonutilitarian culture (manifested in more frequent use of shell beads, decorated pottery and rock art), and possibly denser regional populations. Settlement may have become more sedentary during this period, as compared with the preceding period.
Ethnohistoric Period (Post A.D. 1750)
The Project area is within the ethnohistoric territory of the Luiseño, although proximity to the territories typically associated with the Gabrielino Indians to the north and west, the Cahuilla in the desert to the east, and the Juaneño to the southwest may have meant the area was occasionally shared by different groups (Clark and Smallwood 2015). In ethnohistoric times Luiseño territory extended from Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Escondido, and Lake Henshaw in San Diego County northward into southern Orange and Riverside counties.
Linguistic evidence links Luiseño and Cahuilla with the Uto-Aztecan family of languages (e.g., Golla 2007; Laylander 2010). A hierarchy of relationships within that family likely mirror a sequence of separations reflecting territorial expansions or migrations, leading the linguistic ancestors of the Luiseño and Cahuilla from a still-debated Uto-Aztecan homeland to a northern Uto-Aztecan base somewhere in western North America and ultimately south to their ethnohistoric homes. Splits within the ancestral family included the differentiation of Takic (also February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 6 of 50 termed Southern California Shoshonean) (ca. 1000 B.C.?), the separation of Luiseño from Cahuilla-Cupeño (ca. A.D. 1?), and the separation of Cahuilla and Cupeño (ca. A.D. 1000?).
While Luiseño and Cahuilla cultural patterns, as recorded subsequent to European contact, cannot necessarily be equated with Late Prehistoric patterns, at a minimum they provide indispensable clues to cultural elements that would be difficult or impossible to extract unaided from the archaeological record alone. A few important ethnohistoric accounts are available from Franciscan missionaries and others (Geiger and Meighan 1976; Harrington 1933, 1934; Henshaw 1972; Laylander 2000). Many accounts by ethnographers, primarily recorded during the early and middle twentieth century, are available (Bean 1972, 1978; Bean and Shipek 1978; Bean and Smith 1978; Drucker 1937; Gifford 1918; Hicks 1963; Hooper 1920; Kroeber 1908, 1925; Laylander 2004; Sparkman 1908; Strong 1929; White 1953, 1957, 1963).
The Luiseño inhabited a diverse environment that included littoral, valley, foothill, mountain, and desert resource zones. Because of the early incorporation of coastal Luiseño into the mission system, most of the available twentieth-century ethnographic information relates to inland groups that lived in the Peninsular Range and the Colorado Desert. Acorns were a key resource for inland groups, but a wide range of other mineral, plant, and animal resources were exploited (Bean and Saubel 1972; Sparkman 1908). Some degree of residential mobility seems to have been practiced. The fundamental Luiseño social units above the family were patrilineal, patrilocal clans, the latter ideally coinciding with the winter-spring village communities. The Cahuilla and Cupeño also had patrilineal Coyote and Wildcat moieties, serving primarily to impose exogamous marriage and to conduct ceremonies. Hereditary leaders performed ceremonial, advisory, and diplomatic functions, rather than judicial, redistributive, or military ones. There seems to have been no national level of political unity among the Luiseño or Cahuilla, and perhaps little sense of commonality within the language group.
Luiseño material culture was effective, but it was not highly elaborated. Structures included houses with excavated floors, ramadas, sweathouses, ceremonial enclosures, and acorn granaries. Hunting equipment included bows and arrows, curved throwing sticks, nets, and snares. Processing and storage equipment included a variety of flaked stone tools, milling implements, ceramic vessels, and baskets.
Nonutilitarian culture was not neglected. A range of community ceremonies were performed, with particular emphases placed on marking individuals’ coming of age and on death and mourning. Oral literature included, in particular, an elaborate creation myth that was shared with the Takic-speaking Serrano as well as with Yuman speakers (Kroeber 1925; Laylander 2001; Waterman 1909).
Historic Period
Spanish explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo first discovered California in 1542, claiming it for the King of Spain. However, Spanish contact within the vicinity of the Project area did not take place until the 1770s when Father Garces traveled across the Mojave Desert and entered coastal Southern California through the Cajon Pass (Walker 1968). February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 7 of 50
The Mission San Gabriel de Archangel was established in 1771 and claimed what are now the San Gabriel and San Bernardino valleys. In 1819, a mission outpost, or asistencia, was established in the area of present-day Redlands (Dumke 1944; Hanna 1951; McWilliams 1973; Scott 1977). This outpost, part of Mission San Gabriel’s Rancho San Bernardino, was established in order to expand the agricultural holdings of Mission San Gabriel. The asistencia was later moved to its current location, where construction was begun in 1830; it was abandoned soon after in 1834 (Lugo 1950).
The Mexican War of Independence ended in 1821, severing the Spanish hold on the Californias and secularizing former mission lands. A series of ranchos was granted throughout the County of Riverside and much of the land was used for ranching activities. Although some land had been granted to Indians, most of the land went to military men or merchants. Granting large ranch lands or ranchos remained as both a Spanish and a Mexican legacy in California. Land granted to Mexicans between 1833 and 1846 amounted to 500 ranchos primarily granted near the coast from San Francisco to San Diego. Hand-drawn maps or diseños indicated the often-vague boundaries of the grants where dons and doñas constructed adobe houses on their vast lands, cultivating the land, and grazing cattle, often with the aid of vaqueros. Mexican Governor Pío Pico granted a great number of those ranchos prior to 1846, quickly carving up Alta California to ensure Mexican land titles survived a U.S. victory in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) (Christenson and Sweet 2008:7; Engstrand 2005:64-66; Robinson 1948:23-72). During that time the Project area was part of the Rancho La Sierra, granted to Vicenta Sepulveda in 1846. The rancho had a succession of owners and most of the rancho continued to be used for ranching or agriculture until the 1920s.
By the 1920s the area in the present day City of Norco began to be sub-divided and developed by the Citrus Belt Land Company and the North Corona Land Company. In the late 1920s the Norconian Resort was constructed and in 1941 the United States Navy purchased the resort to be used as a hospital. After the end of World War II the Norconian Resort and the surrounding area was used as research and testing facility for the Navy, and was later used as a prison. The surrounding area was further developed as residential communities, with an agricultural and horse raising focus. The City of Norco was incorporated in December of 1964. A complete history of the city of Norco is provided by the City here: http://www.norco.ca.us/cityhall/history.asp.
Project Area History
The Canyon Creek Resort Project site includes the former facilities of Wyle Laboratories. Beginning in 1957, Wyle Laboratories operated as a commercial testing facility for a number of markets, including defense. The project site also includes the historic Stringfellow Quarry site, established in 1939, which was mined for granite.
Brief History of Stringfellow Quarry
In 1900, the Bly Brothers Stone Company opened two quarries in the Jurupa Mountains in the northwest of Section 2, Township 2 South, Range 6 West and the southeast section of Section 2, Township 2 South, Range 6 West. It had previously been operated as West Riverside Granite Company (Aubry 1906:43; Mackevett 1951:13). In the early years, a majority of the granite February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 8 of 50 procured from the quarries was shipped to their manufacturing site in Los Angeles, which had been in operation on Alameda Street since 1884 (Los Angeles Times 1921; Mackevett 1951:13). The attractive light-gray hue of the granite was largely used for high-end building construction in Los Angeles and Riverside, and was one of the best operations for manufacturing granite in Southern California (Aubry 1906:43-44; Mackevett 1951:13). One of the larger buildings constructed with that light-gray granite was Herman W. Hellman’s Merchants’ National Bank in Los Angeles (Los Angeles Times 1903:A1). The company also secured a large contract to craft large blocks of granite for the San Pedro Harbor in 1906 (Los Angeles Times 1906). By 1915, the company became Bly Brothers and McGilliard Stone Company. For a period of time, it was a high-producing quarry with 150 tons pulled each month by 1928. By then, it appears that much of the high-quality granite had been removed. Thereafter, the material quarried was ground and used for other purposes, such as roofing granules and chicken grit. Production at the quarries was intermittent. By 1949 and the early 1950s, the property was known as the Shannahan quarries. Mostly large rocks were quarried for use as riprap at the Long Beach Harbor (Hamilton 1919:585; Mackevett 1951:13).
James B. Stringfellow operated a portion of the quarry as an acid pit or hazardous disposal site from 1956 to 1972. Southern California manufacturers, including McDonnell Douglas Corp, Montrose Chemical Co., General Electric, Northrop, and Rockwell International, released an estimated 35 million gallons of acids and caustics, metals, solvents, and pesticide byproducts from metal finishing, electroplating, and pesticide production into the pits. The acid pits were retired in 1973 (Environmental Justice Atlas 2015; Gorman 1993). By 1981, the Shannahan quarries were still owned by Stringfellow Constructors, Inc., of Riverside for use as sources of crushed stone (Rapp et al.1981:31, 47). The nearby residential community of Glen Avon sued the state of California when a toxic plume neared the town’s water supply (Gorman 1993).
Brief History of Wyle Laboratories in Norco
When Wyle Laboratories was operational in Norco, the site was divided geographically into several areas. Each area comprised one or more small buildings, structures, or outdoor testing areas with apparatus specific to each test (Environ International Corporation 2008:5).
The Norco facility opened in 1957 and operated until 2014 (Department of Toxic Substances Control 2016; Weston 2003). The company “tested products and materials for the defense, aerospace, manufacturing, and consumer product industries. The site is divided into several areas; each typically consisted of one or more small buildings and/or outdoor testing areas built for specific kinds of tests” (Department of Toxic Substances Control 2007). The “components and systems tested include: pumps, valves, piping, and propulsion systems; electronic equipment and, ordnance and weapons systems” (Department of Toxic Substances Control 2016). Today, only a few buildings and structures remain on site, and it is unoccupied (Department of Toxic Substances Control 2007). Hazardous substances utilized on the property included chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, explosives, and rocket motor fuels that affected soil in certain areas and the groundwater (Department of Toxic Substances Control 2007). Hazardous chemicals used on the site included “trichloroethylene (TCE), polychlorinated bipheyls, heavy metals, and hydrazine.” Currently, the site is owned by Lansing Companies (Department of Toxic Substances Control 2016).

Wyle Laboratories’ Contributions to Cold War Advancements
Technological advancements during the Cold War signified an important historical transition from functional war technologies developed quickly to meet the demands of World War II to competitive technological warfare undertaken from 1946 to 1989 (Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. and ASM Affiliates 2011:20). As part of that national effort, a number of private companies were established and worked with the federal government on research, development, testing, and education of systems and subsystems for land, air, sea, and outer space projects. Frank Wyle established his namesake Wyle Laboratories in El Segundo, California, in 1949 for the express purpose of testing aircraft systems and subsystems. The company tested various types of fuels; large-volume, high-temperature air flow; and the flow of liquid nitrogen and developed a Hydrashaker to test large systems (Wyle 2014). Federal funding for research, development, testing, and education grew significantly in the wake of the Soviet Union’s display of its intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and its launch of the 184-pound Sputnik on October 4, 1957 (Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. and ASM Affiliates 2011:21).
In 1957, Wyle Laboratories expanded with the construction of a new, highly advanced hazardous test facility in Norco for use by El Segundo. Its primary function was to support missile component and subsystems development through solid-propellant motor vibration tests and high- volume fluid (cryogenics, fuel, and water) flow tests. The facilities constructed at the Norco property supported that mission (Inland Empire Business Daily 2014; International Directory of Company Histories 1996; Wyle 2014). Similar to other contemporary testing facilities, the complex was divided into operational areas, and this one had eleven sections (A-K) that began in the western portion of the site and expanded toward the east. Construction and use of the areas was based on the clients the company served; the specific tests run within the areas changed as clients’ needs changed. Areas A through E had been constructed by 1962, and the site had been constructed by 1974 with additions constructed intermittently thereafter. The areas included office space, control rooms, test rooms, test chambers, workshops, storage areas, explosive magazines, concrete pads, and vaults, as well as large-scale testing, outdoor testing, and large cryogenic tanks testing. Each area had a general primary function, but many areas had multiple testing facilities and buildings (Weston 2003:3-9).
• Area A: Administration • Area B: Storage of hazardous materials • Area C: Heat exchanger, concrete and steel structures, and control rooms • Area D: Explosive magazine storage • Area E: Stable Propellant Area/Hydrogen Technology Area (rocket fuel storage and fuel tank scrubbers). Buildings included E-1 (offices and control rooms) and E-2 (large test chamber) • Area F: Hydrodynamic and Electrodynamic Testing Area (includes a series of test bays where explosive devices were tested, electrodynamic test bays, and pressure testing and cryogenic test bays as well as offices and control rooms) • Area G: Steam Slab Building (boiler) • Area H: Administration, water testing, machine shop. • Area I: Original environment testing area (test chambers and stations) including a Boeing Chamber February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 10 of 50
• Area J: Large test site (test bays and buildings for missile booster, Hydraskaker test area, oxidizer testing, storage of hazardous materials, atmospheric chamber for testing explosives, tested ignited rockets, and slow cook-off areas. • Area K: Hydrogen testing (constructed and operated by McDonnell-Douglas for cryogenic tests (Weston 2003:3-5).
Perhaps the two most notable facilities were constructed in 1960 and likely constructed in Area J. The 100,000-force-pound, low-frequency vibration test system facility facilitated the testing of the Polaris Missile second stage. A complex of three test pads was also constructed to test solid- propellant rocket engines as part of the 100,000-force-pound Hyrdraskaer vibration system (Inland Empire Business Daily 2014; International Directory of Company Histories 1996; Wyle 2014). The multi-faceted Norco complex operated “state-of-the-art facilities that could, among other tasks, put a battle tank through its paces in an environmental chamber, simulate forces created in an earthquake, and test steam valves used in nuclear plants” (International Directory of Company Histories 1996).
Wyle Laboratories operations continued to expand at Norco and with a new facility in Huntsville, Alabama, that supported NASA in developing the Saturn Booster Program. It also provided support to the Kennedy Space Center. A new Virginia facility provided NASA’s Langley Research Center with instrumentation support (engineering, calibration, and repairs). The company also began supplying electronic components outside weapons and space exploration for use by civilians. In the early 1970s, the Huntsville location provided services in support of testing antiballistic missile equipment. In the mid-1970s, El Segundo began working on a qualifying test program for space shuttle components related to high-pressure helium, cryogenic flow, and high-temperature hydrogen and oxygen. The El Segundo, Huntsville, and Virginia facilities continued to work on larger studies for the U.S. Air Force and NASA in the 1970s and 1980s, including the Peacekeeper Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) at El Segundo Space Station support at Huntsville. In 1989, the Norco facility began working on important technology development program for propulsion studies for the National Aerospace Plane and improving the Space Shuttle Main Engine Turbo Pumps. In 1995, the company was absorbed into Arrow Electronics, and a few years later the company obtained a significant support services contract for Kennedy Space Center as part of the Space Gateway Support team. In 2003, the company won a NASA Bioastronautics contract for $1 billion and acquired part of General Dynamics to support its new Aerospace Group. The company continued to expand through acquisition, and in 2014 it no longer needed its testing laboratories in Huntsville, El Segundo, and Norco. The company continues to provide services to the Department of Defense as one of its largest service providers (Wyle 2014).
STUDY METHODS
Records Searches
Methods used to assess the presence of cultural resources within the property included a search of existing records and an intensive field survey. The record search was conducted by ASM Associate Archaeologist Kent Manchen at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) on July 8, 2016. The search included the project area and a radius of ½-mile around it. Historic aerial photographs and historic USGS topographic maps of the project area were consulted from historicaerials.com. February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 11 of 50
The records search maps are included in Confidential Appendix A. The complete records search is archived in ASM’s Carlsbad office and is available upon request.
A search of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) held by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) was requested by ASM on July 7, 2016. A response was provided by the NAHC on July 8, 2016, stating that the SLF search failed to indicate the presence of Native American traditional cultural places/sites in the Project area. The NAHC recommended that 19 local tribal groups or individuals be contacted regarding additional potential sacred sites in the area. Letters of inquiry were sent to all groups on the contact list on July 14, 2016. Subsequently it was noted that the NAHC’s list of contacts was for San Bernardino rather than Riverside County. The NAHC was contacted and on September 19, 2016 they provided a revised list of 51 Native American contacts.
To date, two responses were received from the original NAHC contact list. On July 18, 2016, Victoria Harvey from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians responded via email that the Project area is outside of the tribe’s Traditional Use Area and that they defer to other tribes in the area. On August 25, 2016, Joseph Ontiveros, Director of Cultural Resources for the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians responded that the Project falls within their Tribal Traditional Use Area and therefore they request to initiate a consultation with the Project Proponents and the Lead Agency, the transfer of information to the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians regarding the progress of the Project, for the tribe to act as a consulting tribal entity, Native American monitoring for all ground disturbance, and survey and archaeological testing, and that proper procedures be taken and request of the tribe be honored.
To date, two responses were received from the updated NAHC contact list. On October 17, 2016, Ernest Pingleton of Viejas responded that the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians has determined that the Project site has little cultural significance or ties to Viejas and they recommend contact tribes closer to the Project area. On October 31, 2016 Shasta Gaughen, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Pala Band of Mission Indians responded that the project is not within the boundaries of the recognized Pala Indian Reservation and beyond the boundaries of the territory the tribe considers its Traditional Use Area, and defer to the wishes of Tribes in closer proximity to the Project area.
In addition on September 16 and 19, 2016 Shelby Castells discussed the Project with Anna Hoover, Cultural Analyst and Assistant THPO, for the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, via a phone call. Ms. Hoover stated that Native American monitors from Pechanga having been monitoring soil remediation work on the Project area, along with archaeological monitors from Duke CRM, for an extended period of time. The monitoring resulted in numerous discoveries associated with the cultural resources within the Project area. Ms. Hoover requested to meet with ASM and the Landowner to discuss the proposed development, prior to any subsurface testing being conducted.
All correspondence pertaining to the Native American Heritage Commission is included in Appendix B. February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 12 of 50
Archival Research ASM’s Senior Historian Sarah Stringer-Bowsher conducted research on the Stringfellow Quarry and Wyle Laboratories. Research included contacting the City of Norco, and gathering documents from the Corona Public Library Heritage Room and documents from available online resources. Historic aerials were also utilized confirm that the approximate years of construction. The archival research is summarized in the historic context above.
Archaeological Survey The archaeological field survey was conducted on July 14 and 15, 2016 by ASM Associate Archaeologists Joel Lennen, Kent Manchen, and Thomas Taylor. Field methods consisted of a pedestrian survey by the archaeologists at 15-meter intervals walking east to west. Any isolates, sites, and features were recorded. All site and isolate locations were recorded in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates using handheld GeoExplorer Trimble units with sub- meter accuracy. Resources were plotted on project maps using NAD 83 UTM coordinates (Confidential Appendix C). Site information was recorded on State of California DPR 523 series forms to State of California standards (Confidential Appendix D).
Architectural History Survey ASM’s Architectural Historian Marilyn Novell conducted an intensive historical resource field survey on July 14, 2016, to identify buildings and structures within the APE that are more than 45 years old. During the survey, multiple photographs were taken of the buildings and structures to document the resources and their setting. Notes were taken to document each building/structure’s plan, architectural features, condition, and historical integrity. ASM also noted whether or not these buildings and/or structures might be associated with a potential historic district. An architectural description of each building/structure, including photos, is provided in below. DPR 523 Primary (A) forms were prepared to document this field survey and are provided in Appendix E.
STUDY RESULTS
Records Search Results The records search at the EIC identified 33 previously conducted cultural resource projects within the records search radius for this project (Table 1). Two of the studies have taken place within the Project area with 100 percent of the current Project area having been previously surveyed.

Twenty-nine cultural resources have been previously recorded within the ½-mile search radius (Table 2). Three cultural resources have been previously recorded within the project area, RIV- 106, P-33-12615, and P-33-12616. Both prehistoric and historic sites have been previously recorded within the records search radius. Below is a summary of the three cultural resources that have been previously recorded within the project area.
CA-RIV-106: This prehistoric site was originally recorded by Eberhart in 1951 as “five deep mortars in bedrock.” In 1979, the site was updated by J. Swenson who only observed grinding slicks at the time and noted the site was scheduled to be destroyed by new home construction. In 1988, the site was visited and updated by Brown and McKenna who were able to relocate seven grinding slicks. The site was updated by Franklin and Schmidt in 1992, who recorded 12 slicks still in existence and recent spray-painting of the features. Patrick Maxon visited the site location in 1999 and could not relocate any previously recorded components due to construction. February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 15 of 50
P-33-12615: This expansive prehistoric site was recorded by McKenna in 2003 and covers an area of 900 x 200 m. It comprises 14 bedrock milling features with a total of 19 grinding slicks. No artifacts have been found in association with this site. The site trends in a northeast to southwest direction and starts on a terrace between two large hills and runs down into the valley to the southwest.
P-33-12616: This large prehistoric site was recorded by McKenna in 2003 and measures 950 x 650 m. The site consists of three loci of bedrock milling features and five isolated areas of bedrock milling. The total number of bedrock milling features is not explicitly given in the original site record; however, a total of 42 grinding slicks and one cupule were recorded. A unifacial grinding handstone was recorded in an isolated context at the extreme east of the site’s boundary. The site is centered on a large hill with the bedrock milling features scattered around its base.

Pedestrian Survey Results
ASM archaeologists surveyed the Project area on two days, July 14 and 15, 2016. Both days were sunny and warm. At the time of survey, much of the Project area was overgrown with vegetation making ground visibility fair to poor. The fields on the northwest, west, and south sides of the Project area are less developed than the central part of the Wyle Laboratories compound. These areas had dense, dry grass covering most of the ground surface, making visibility poor. Within the central, developed area of the Project area is a riparian corridor with thick growths of associated vegetation. The developed areas were, in general, slightly less overgrown, however the degree of development has completely disturbed the original ground surface. The northeast of the Project area is dominated by a steep, rocky slope. February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 18 of 50
The western part of the Project area has been significantly disturbed by construction of numerous buildings, parking lots, unknown structures both above and below ground, and numerous roads associated with the former Wyle Laboratories facility. The southern quarter of the Project area has been less developed, however, it has still been significantly disturbed by graded dirt roads, off-road activity, bulldozing with remnant piles of boulders (Figures 4-6). The eastern part of the site has been disturbed by quarrying activities with several graded dirt roads, discarded quarrying spoils, and a graded lot covered in imported gravel. The northeastern part of the Project area consists of a very steep and rocky slope that rises 600 feet from the valley floor. A barrier of concrete K-rails has been erected, running roughly north to south across the middle of the Project area.
Components of two previously recorded cultural resources, P-33-12615 and P-33-12616, were relocated and components mapped via GPS. RIV-106 was not relocated during the survey. Two additional previously undocumented cultural resource sites, CC-1 and CC-2, were recorded during the survey. The location of these archaeological sites is included in Confidential Appendix C and the DPR forms are included in Confidential Appendix D.
CA-RIV-106: This prehistoric site was originally recorded in 1951 as five deep mortars in bedrock. Later efforts recorded grinding slicks without mention of mortars. As documented by the most recent DPR site record update by Maxon in 1999, who reported the site had been destroyed, no components of the previously recorded site were relocated within the project area during the current survey. The slope just south of the water tower near the site appears undisturbed and components recorded in this location by Franklin and Schmidt (1992) may have been mapped in error as the other site records show the resource further to the south and east. The remaining undeveloped area had been recently graded, with many broken boulders pushed into a linear arrangement near the base of the slope.
P-33-12615: This large prehistoric bedrock milling site was originally recorded by McKenna in 2003 and consists of 14 milling features with a total of 19 grinding slicks. This resource was relocated and GPS positions of 11 bedrock milling features within McKenna’s Locus 1 and three bedrock milling features within Locus 2 were recorded and the site boundary slightly expanded to include the easternmost feature. The two milling features recorded by McKenna as Isolate A were not relocated during the current survey. An obvious milling feature could not be relocated in the area of McKenna’s Isolate B; however, a boulder with a smoothed area that seemed to be of natural origin was observed. This site appeared to be in similar condition to that reported by McKenna, with disturbances due to graded road construction and granite quarrying activities which have displaced many boulders, created a sloping dirt road prone to hydrologic erosion, and left spoil piles of rubble. Vegetation includes sage scrub, non-native grasses, buckwheat, and sparse oak trees.
P-33-12616: This large prehistoric site was recorded by McKenna in 2003 as three loci of bedrock milling features and five isolated areas of bedrock milling. The total number of bedrock milling features is not given in the original site record; however, a total of 42 individual grinding slicks and one cupule were recorded. One unifacial handstone was recorded. Eight bedrock milling features within McKenna’s Locus 2 and one feature in her Locus 3 were recorded during the current survey. Vegetation is limited to sage scrub and non-native grasses with a riparian corridor running through the eastern part of the site. The site is centered on a hill that has been February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 19 of 50 extensively developed on the top and east sides with any previous components of the site destroyed by construction of roads, parking areas, and underground facilities. Additional roads associated with Wyle Laboratories have been graded throughout the site. During the current survey, the site appeared to be in a condition similar to the original recording with the exception of several areas closed off with barbed wire fencing due to environmental cleanup activities, including McKenna’s Locus 1 and Isolate E with its rock painted to look like a bird by former Wyle employees.
CC-1: This prehistoric resource was discovered and recorded during the current survey and consists of a single bedrock milling feature with one grinding slick. The site is located along the southwestern edge of the survey area, adjacent to Hillside Avenue. The area surrounding the feature appears to have been plowed and had brush cleared. Modern trash is also abundant.
CC-2: This prehistoric site was discovered and recorded during the current survey and consists of three bedrock milling features with one grinding slick each. The site is located within a cleared field at the western edge of the survey area adjacent to Hillside Avenue. Further disturbances include modern trash.
Architectural History Survey Results
As a result of the field survey, ASM did not find any buildings or structures within the Project area that were associated with the Stringfellow Quarry. The former site of Wyle Laboratories contains a few buildings and structures dispersed throughout the property that appear to be related to the engineering and technological services provided by the company. However, the vast majority of the buildings and structures that once comprised the facility have been demolished, and only concrete pads remain. Of the extant buildings and structures, only three buildings (Building A-1, Building H-2, and Building F-1) and six structures (Testing Area H Shelter and five structures in Testing Area F) meet the age requirement of 45 years to be considered as historic resources, as determined by comparing aerial views of the site in 2016 with historic aerial photos (historical aerials 1948, 1966, 1967, and 1980). Thirty-four concrete pads were identified within the Project area, and appear to have been the remains of buildings constructed prior to 1980. The recorded buildings, structures, and building pads are shown on Figure 7.
Buildings
Building A-1: Known as the Bunker, Building A-1 is a utilitarian building built into the eastern slope of Hill A, which is located on the western side of the property in Area A (Figures 8-12). The area is the location of the earliest testing at the Wyle site and marks the beginning of development at the site by Wyle Laboratories. Building A-1 appears to contain only minimal occupiable space; otherwise, it is essentially a foundation constructed of concrete masonry unit (CMU) and poured concrete to support a demolished complex of buildings at the apex of the hill. Metal stairs with tubular railings provide access from the top of the hill to the lower levels. At the level below the top is the occupiable space, accessible through one of two flat metal doors. There are no windows, and the interior was not accessible at the time of the survey. Also at this level is an open recessed area with metal railings. February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 20 of 50
Building F-1 Building F-1 is a single-story utilitarian building with a rectangular plan on a foundation of poured concrete (Figures 13-17). The portion of the building to the east appears to be an addition and is partially carved into the hillside. The building is located at the south of Test Area F and immediately to the south of a newer corrugated metal building. It has a flat roof covered in asphalt roll and an irregular plan. The building is constructed of CMU. There are openings on the primary (west) and south façades for square windows with no surrounds and an extending sill. On the primary façade is a recessed entrance with an aluminum frame door. A small porch is sheltered by a cantilevered rectangular canopy with a wide, flat wood fascia. The canopy has a stucco-clad ceiling and a recessed area that likely contained lighting. A brick planter extends across the primary façade. A sign to the right of the primary entrance on the west façade identifies it as “Dynamic Control Room AQ F1.”
Building H-2 Building H-2 is a single-story utilitarian building located in Testing Area H, directly south of Compound 7, which serves as the current headquarters of the facilities management. It is a rectangular utilitarian building sitting on a poured concrete foundation (Figures 18-22). A concrete pad that appears to be associated with the building extends to the south a distance approximately six times that of the building’s footprint. The building has a flat roof with a wide wood fascia topped by a narrow metal fascia. The north wall and connecting portions of the north and south walls are constructed of CMU, and the other walls are plywood over a 2 x 4 wood frame. Fenestration consists of a door opening on the north façade and small openings that appear to have been windows on the north and east façades. The south façade appears to have had a large opening that might have been for vehicle or loading access; however, the wall has been mostly removed.
The interior walls are exposed wood 2 x 4 frame on three sides and the ceiling, and CMU on the east and a portion of the north and south. A square metal ventilation duct extends from the ceiling, and various boxes housing what appears to be electrical equipment are attached to the walls in the southeast corner.
Historic aerials show what appears to be a tower north of the building. To the south are two poured concrete piers with portions of steel I-beams embedded at an angle toward the north, suggesting they might have served as anchors for such a tower and that Building H-2 might have had an associated function.
Structures
Testing Area H Shelter Testing Area H Shelter is a utilitarian structure located in Testing Area H approximately 50 feet northeast of Building H-2. It is an open rectangular shelter with one wall on the north side. It consists of a shed roof supported by six steel pipes and steel cross beams. It has a foundation of a poured concrete pad. The flat roof and the wall at the north are constructed of corrugated metal. Metal boxes housing electrical equipment are attached to the wall at the interior, and a larger metal box sits on the pad at the northwest corner (Figures 23-26). February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 21 of 50
Testing Area F Structures Testing Area F comprises centrally located hilly terrain sloping upward toward the north from administration buildings including the extant Building F-1 at the foot of the hill. In this area are several structures constructed of poured concrete distributed throughout the hilly area and each sitting on a level area. They were described in a previous report as corrugated metal and concrete structures used for vibration testing (McKenna 2003:29). However, the variation in massing and size, as well as previous reports on the former site of Wyle Laboratories, suggests that each might have been purpose-built for a specific type of test.
• Structure F-2: This structure is approximately cubic in form and lacks fenestration; as such, the interior is neither accessible nor visible from the exterior. A concrete pad extends to the north and east from the base of the structure (Figure 27). • Structure F-3: This structure is irregular in form, with two intersecting “wings” and a double-height “tower” at the intersection with rebar extending from the top. The structure has a flat roof and lacks fenestration; as such, the interior is neither accessible nor visible from the exterior (Figures 28-30). • Structure F-4: The structure appears to have been partially demolished; only a rectangular poured concrete pit and a CMU retaining wall remain (Figure 31). • Structure F-6: The structure appears to have been partially demolished; only a rectangular poured concrete pit with a steel lip remains (Figure 32). • Structure F-8: This structure is irregular in form, consisting of two intersecting rectangular masses of similar height. It has a flat roof and lacks fenestration; as such, the interior was neither accessible nor visible from the exterior. Threaded steel bars approximately two inches in diameter extend approximately 18 inches horizontally from the sides of three of the walls. These bars are regularly spaced across the width of the walls in an array of four or five in height. Empty metal cabinets that appear to be electrical in nature are fastened to the walls that have bars. A poured concrete pit with a fixed steel ladder provides access to a basement area. A shallow trough in a cross form is located adjacent to the structure to the southeast (Figures 33- 38).
Other Areas Testing Areas J and K, located toward the eastern side of the property, were not accessible at the time of the current survey. However, aerial views of the areas do not indicate the presence of any buildings or structures older than 45 years.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Three archaeological sites, RIV-106, P-33-12615 and P-33-12616, have been previously recorded within the Project area and two newly documented archaeological sites, CC-1 and CC- 2, were recorded during the current survey. The archaeological sites consist of numerous bedrock milling features and prehistoric processing areas.
Due to the extensive prehistoric use of the area and the alluvial nature of the soils in several locations, subsurface archaeological deposits may exist. It is recommended that the archaeological sites be evaluated for significance under CEQA, eligibility to the CRHR, and eligibility to the City of Norco’s Landmark and Point of Historical Interest Lists, through subsurface testing if they will be impacted by the Project design. The Project design and the February 3, 2017 Rick Hoffman Page 22 of 50 location of the archaeological sites is shown in Confidential Appendix C. Based on the current Conceptual Land Use Plan for the Project, P-33-12616, P-33-12615, RIV-106, and CC-1 will be impacted by the proposed Project design. Archaeological site CC-2 is located in an area marked as Open Space. Per the Conceptual Land Use Plan, the Open Space designation includes both graded and undisturbed natural open space; therefore, it needs to be further clarified if this site will be impacted by the Project.
Additionally, ASM recommends that the Project area be monitored by a qualified archaeological monitor during the initial ground disturbance for the Project’s construction due to the possibility of prehistoric subsurface deposits being present within the Project area, based on the alluvial context and the extensive prehistoric use of the Project area.
ASM identified three buildings (Buildings A-1, H-22, and F-1) and six structures (Testing Area E Shelter and Structures F-2, F-3, F-4, F-6, and F-8) associated with Wyle Laboratories within the Project area that are more than 45 years of age. In addition, there are 35 building pads that may be more than 45 years of age. Based on the Conceptual Land Use Plan for the Project, all of the buildings, structures, and building pads will be impacted by the Project (Confidential Appendix C). As such, ASM recommends that these buildings and structures be evaluated for significance under CEQA, eligibility to the CRHR, and eligibility to the City of Norco’s Landmark and Point of Historical Interest Lists, under the potential contexts of Industrial Development and Aerospace, in compliance with CEQA. ASM did not find any buildings or structures on site that were associated with the Stringfellow Quarry. ASM does not anticipate that any of the extant buildings and structures will be found eligible because of the loss of integrity to any potential period of significance.

Re: Sacred Land Search Request for the Canyon Creek Project, Norco, Riverside County, California
Dear Ms. Sanchez,
ASM Affiliates, Inc. (ASM) is conducting a cultural resource survey for the Canyon Creek Project (Project), Norco, Riverside County, California. The Project is located on the Corona North USGS 7.5’ Quad, within Sections 8, 17, and 18 of Township 3 South, Range 6 West, La Sierra (Sepulveda) Land Grant (Figure 1). The city of Norco is the lead agency. This study is being undertaken in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The Project proposes a mixed-use development of the Project area.
A records search for the project area was conducted by the Eastern Information Center. I am writing to inquire if you have registered any Tribal Cultural Resources, traditional cultural properties, or areas of heritage sensitivity within this proposed project area? Our investigation will include direct contact with local tribal entities in a manner that ensures complete confidentiality. We request that you send a listing of the appropriate individuals to make contact with related to this Project. Please submit your response to me at our Carlsbad office, listed below. Feel free to call, write, or e-mail if you have any questions. We appreciate any information you can provide on this project.
Sincerely,
Shelby Gunderman Castells, M.A., RPA ASM Affiliates, Inc. Senior Archaeologist

Shelby, Please see the attached letter from Joseph Ontiveros, Cultural Resource Director, for the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, regarding the Canyon Creek Resort Project. The project area is considered sensitive by the people of Soboba, as there are existing sites in the surrounding area. An in‐house database search identified multiple areas of potential impact; the tribe has specific concerns for the area the project encompasses. Specifics will be discussed in consultation with the lead agency. Please include a summary of the attached letter in your report. The tribe also requests that the attached letter be forwarded to the lead agency for this Project. A hard copy will be mailed, for your records.

RE: Native American Consultation; Canyon Creek Resort Project, Norco, Riverside County, CA
The Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians appreciates your observance of Tribal Cultural Resources and their preservation in your project. The information provided to us on said project has been assessed through our Cultural Resource Department, where it was concluded that although it is outside the existing reservation, the project area does fall within the bounds of our Tribal Traditional Use Areas. This project location is in proximity to known sites, is a shared use area that was used in ongoing trade between the tribes, and is considered to be culturally sensitive by the people of Soboba.
Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians is requesting the following:
1. To initiate a consultation with the project proponents and lead agency.
2. The transfer of information to the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians regarding the progress of this project should be done as soon as new developments occur.
3. Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians continues to act as a consulting tribal entity for this project.
4. Working in and around traditional use areas intensifies the possibility of encountering cultural resources during the construction/excavation phase. For this reason the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians requests that Native American Monitor(s) from the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians Cultural Resource Department to be present during any ground disturbing proceedings. Including surveys and archaeological testing.
5. Request that proper procedures be taken and requests of the tribe be honored (Please see the attachment)
Multiple areas of potential impact were identified during an in-house database search. Specifics to be discussed in consultation with the lead agency.
Sincerely,
Joseph Ontiveros, Director of Cultural Resources Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians P.O. Box 487 San Jacinto, CA 92581 Phone (951) 654-5544 ext. 4137 Cell (951) 663-5279 [email protected] Cultural Items (Artifacts). Ceremonial items and items of cultural patrimony reflect traditional religious beliefs and practices of the Soboba Band. The Developer should agree to return all Native American ceremonial items and items of cultural patrimony that may be found on the project site to the Soboba Band for appropriate treatment. In addition, the Soboba Band requests the return of all other cultural items (artifacts) that are recovered during the course of archaeological investigations. Where appropriate and agreed upon in advance, Developer’s archeologist may conduct analyses of certain artifact classes if required by CEQA, Section 106 of NHPA, the mitigation measures or conditions of approval for the Project. This may include but is not limited or restricted to include shell, bone, ceramic, stone or other artifacts.
The Developer should waive any and all claims to ownership of Native American ceremonial and cultural artifacts that may be found on the Project site. Upon completion of authorized and mandatory archeological analysis, the Developer should return said artifacts to the Soboba Band within a reasonable time period agreed to by the Parties and not to exceed (30) days from the initial recovery of the items.
Treatment and Disposition of Remains.
A. The Soboba Band shall be allowed, under California Public Resources Code § 5097.98 (a), to (1) inspect the site of the discovery and (2) make determinations as to how the human remains and grave goods shall be treated and disposed of with appropriate dignity.
B. The Soboba Band, as MLD, shall complete its inspection within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving notification from either the Developer or the NAHC, as required by California Public Resources Code § 5097.98 (a). The Parties agree to discuss in good faith what constitutes "appropriate dignity" as that term is used in the applicable statutes.
C. Reburial of human remains shall be accomplished in compliance with the California Public Resources Code § 5097.98 (a) and (b). The Soboba Band, as the MLD in consultation with the Developer, shall make the final discretionary determination regarding the appropriate disposition and treatment of human remains.
D. All parties are aware that the Soboba Band may wish to rebury the human remains and associated ceremonial and cultural items (artifacts) on or near, the site of their discovery, in an area that shall not be subject to future subsurface disturbances. The Developer should accommodate on-site reburial in a location mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
E. The term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones because the Soboba Band's traditions periodically necessitated the ceremonial burning of human remains. Grave goods are those artifacts associated with any human remains. These items, and other funerary remnants and their ashes are to be treated in the same manner as human bone fragments or bones that remain intact
Coordination with County Coroner’s Office. The Lead Agencies and the Developer should immediately contact both the Coroner and the Soboba Band in the event that any human remains are discovered during implementation of the Project. If the Coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American, or has reason to believe that they are those of a Native American, the Coroner shall ensure that notification is provided to the NAHC within twenty-four (24) hours of the determination, as required by California Health and Safety Code § 7050.5 (c). Non-Disclosure of Location Reburials. It is understood by all parties that unless otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native American human remains or cultural artifacts shall not be disclosed and shall not be governed by public disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. The Coroner, parties, and Lead Agencies, will be asked to withhold public disclosure information related to such reburial, pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code § 6254 (r). Ceremonial items and items of cultural patrimony reflect traditional religious beliefs and practices of the Soboba Band. The Developer agrees to return all Native American ceremonial items and items of cultural patrimony that may be found on the project site to the Soboba Band for appropriate treatment. In addition, the Soboba Band requests the return of all other cultural items (artifacts) that are recovered during the course of archaeological investigations. Where appropriate and agreed upon in advance, Developer’s archeologist may conduct analyses of certain artifact classes if required by CEQA, Section 106 of NHPA, the mitigation measures or conditions of approval for the Project. This may include but is not limited or restricted to include shell, bone, ceramic, stone or other artifacts.

RE: REVISED LIST for Proposed Canyon Creek Project, Community of Norco; Corona North USGS Quadrangle, Riverside County, California
Dear Ms. Castells:
Please find attached a revised list for the project referenced above. While the list includes the tribes listed in the culturally affiliated areas of your APE, it does not preclude you from contacting tribal groups known to you that may have an interest in the area.
We suggest you contact all of the listed Tribes. If they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. The list should provide a starting place to locate areas of potential adverse impact within the APE. By contacting all those on the list, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the NAHC requests that you follow-up with a telephone call to ensure that the project information has been received.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from any of these individuals or groups, please notify me. With your assistance we are able to assure that our lists contain current information. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact via email: [email protected].

Re: Canyon Creek Resort Project
Dear Mrs. Castells:
The Pala Band of Mission Indians Tribal Historic Preservation Office has received your notification of the project referenced above. This letter constitutes our response on behalf of Robert Smith, Tribal Chairman.
We have consulted our maps and determined that the project as described is not within the boundaries of the recognized Pala Indian Reservation. The project is also beyond the boundaries of the territory that the tribe considers its Traditional Use Area (TUA). Therefore, we have no objection to the continuation of project activities as currently planned and we defer to the wishes of Tribes in closer proximity to the project area.
We appreciate involvement with your initiative and look forward to working with you on future efforts. If you have questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at 760-891-3515 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Shasta C. Gaughen, PhD Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Pala Band of Mission Indians
ATTENTION: THE PALA TRIBAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REQUESTS FOR CONSULTATION. PLEASE ADDRESS CORRESPONDENCE TO SHASTA C. GAUGHEN AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO ALSO SEND NOTICES TO PALA TRIBAL CHAIRMAN ROBERT SMITH.

Known as the Bunker, Building A-1 is a utilitarian building built into the eastern slope of Hill A, which is located on the western side of the property in Area A. The area is the location of the earliest testing at the Wyle site and marks the beginning of development at the site by Wyle Laboratories. Building A-1 appears to contain only minimal occupiable space; otherwise, it is essentially a foundation constructed of concrete masonry unit (CMU) and poured concrete to support a demolished complex of buildings at the apex of the hill. Metal stairs with tubular railings provide access from the top of the hill to the lower levels. At the level below the top is the occupiable space, accessible through one of two flat metal doors. There are no windows, and the interior was not accessible at the time of the survey. Also at this level is an open recessed area with metal railings.

Building F-1 is a single-story utilitarian building with a rectangular plan on a foundation of poured concrete. The portion of the building to the east appears to be an addition and is partially carved into the hillside. The building is located at the south of Test Area F and immediately to the south of a newer corrugated metal building. It has a flat roof covered in asphalt roll and an irregular plan. The building is constructed of CMU. There are openings on the primary (west) and south façades for square windows with no surrounds and an extending sill. On the primary façade is a recessed entrance with an aluminum frame door. A small porch is sheltered by a cantilevered rectangular canopy with a wide, flat wood fascia. The canopy has a stucco-clad ceiling and a recessed area that likely contained lighting. A brick planter extends across the primary façade. A sign to the right of the primary entrance on the west façade identifies it as “Dynamic Control Room AQ F1.”

Building H-2 is a single-story utilitarian building located in Testing Area H, directly south of Compound 7, which serves as the current headquarters of the facilities management. It is a rectangular utilitarian building sitting on a poured concrete foundation. A concrete pad that appears to be associated with the building extends to the sound a distance approximately six times that of the building’s footprint. The building has a flat roof with a wide wood fascia topped by a narrow metal fascia. The north wall and connecting portions of the north and south walls are constructed of CMU, and the other walls are plywood over a 2 x 4 wood frame. Fenestration consists of a door opening on the north façade and small openings that appear to have been windows on the north and east facades. The south façade appears to have had a large opening that might have been for vehicle or loading access; however, the wall has been mostly removed.

The interior walls are exposed wood 2 x 4 frame on three sides and the ceiling, and CMU on the east and a portion of the north and south. A square metal ventilation duct extends from the ceiling, and various boxes housing what appears to be electrical equipment are attached to the walls in the southeast corner.
Historic aerials show what appears to be a tower north of the building. To the south are two poured concrete piers with portions of steel I-beams embedded at an angle toward the north, suggesting they might have served as anchors for such a tower and that Building H-2 might have had an associated function.

Structure F-8 is irregular in form, consisting of two intersecting rectangular masses of similar height. It has a flat roof and lacks fenestration; as such, the interior was neither accessible nor visible from the exterior. Threaded steel bars approximately two inches in diameter extend approximately 18 inches horizontally from the sides of three of the walls. These bars are regularly spaced across the width of the walls in an array of four or five in height. Empty metal cabinets that appear to be electrical in nature are fastened to the walls that have bars. A poured concrete pit with a fixed steel ladder provides access to a basement area. A shallow trough in a cross form is located adjacent to the structure to the southeast.
