Historic Property Survey Report State of California Department of Transportation HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY REPORT 1. UNDERTAKING DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION District County Funding Source Federal-Aid Proj. No. Location E-FIS Proj. No Phase 03 SUT HBP BHLS-5163 (025) YUBA CITY Project Description: The City of Yuba City and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the City of Marysville, propose to replace the 5th Street Bridge (Bridge Number 18C-0012) over the Feather River and improve approach roadways to the bridge. The 5th Street Bridge is a major arterial connector between the two cities serving local, commercial, commuter, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. Built in 1958, the prestressed concrete stringer bridge is approximately 1,865 feet long, 42 feet wide, and carries two 12-foot lanes of traffic across the river. A 10-foot Class I pedestrian and bicycle path is located next to the two vehicular lanes on the north side of the bridge deck. The existing facility is located between Sutter and Yuba Counties and connects Bridge Street in Yuba City to 5th Street in Marysville (Figures 1 and 2). Project limits in the City of Marysville span from 5th and I streets to I and 3rd streets in the south, portions of River Front Park in the west, and continuing over the Feather River into the City of Yuba City limits. Project limits within the City of Yuba City include the roadway along 2nd Street, small portions of Sutter, Yolo and Boyd streets in the south and the western expanse of Bridge Street at the intersection with 2nd street and terminating just past the intersection at Shasta Street. In 2008 the bridge was found to be seismically vulnerable to soil liquefaction and was recommended for replacement. The proposed project would replace the existing bridge over the Feather River in order to resolve seismic safety concerns and improve traffic operations. A combination of Local Agency and Federal (Highway Bridge Program, Regional Surface Transportation Project, and High Priority Project) funds have been approved for the 5th Street Bridge Replacement project. Due to the fact that the proposed project would be constructed, in part, with federal funding, cultural resources studies were completed in accordance with the terms of the Programmatic Agreement Among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as it Pertains to the Administration of the Federal-Aid Highway Program in California (Section 106 PA), which became effective on January 1, 2004. Description of work to be done would include: Construction of a new four-lane bridge over the Feather River; Expansion of 5th Street in Marysville from two lanes to four lanes between the new bridge and J Street, including four lanes under the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR); Improvements to the 5th Street and J Street intersection in Marysville including a new eastbound dedicated right turn lane on to J Street and reconstruction of sidewalks and For the federal undertaking described in Part 1: To minimize redundancy and paperwork for the California Department of Transportation and the State Historic Preservation Officer, and in the spirit intended under the federal Paperwork Reduction Act (U.S.C. 44 Chapter 35), this document also satisfies consideration under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section §15064.5(a) and, as appropriate, Public Resources Code §5024 (a)(b) and (d). [HPSR form: 07-22-10] Page 1 State of California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency California Department of Transportation HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY REPORT curb ramps to current ADA standards; Removal of stop logs on the top of the Marysville levee and construction of a short three foot floodwall extension from the bridge. Installation of a levee cut-off wall through the central portion of the levee; Construction of a new four-lane bridge over 2nd Street in Yuba City; Widening of the 5th Street approach roadway in Yuba City between 2nd Street and Shasta Street from two lanes to four lanes; Realignment of 2nd Street in Yuba City under the bridge, construction of raised median, and extension of the left turn lane from 2nd Street to westbound Bridge Street; Reconstruction of the eastbound approach to the bridge and removal of the abandoned UPRR overpass above the on-ramps in Yuba City; and, Add signalized intersections at the 2nd Street intersections with Bridge Street and the westbound ramps at the intersection of Sutter Street and 2nd Street in Yuba City. It is anticipated that the maximum depth of excavation would be 15 feet for the pier foundations and 10 feet deep at the bridge abutments to prepare the location for fill and placement of footings and piles that would support the new bridge. The project includes a Class I multi-use trail over the river with expanded connectivity in Yuba City. This trail would provide pedestrian and bicycle access over the river between Yuba City and Marysville. The Class I trail would be separated from 5th Street by a barrier and would be constructed with a flatter profile than the roadway. Minor relocation of utilities is expected on the bridge approach roadways. The new bridge would contain conduits for bridge lighting, communications and future uses. The new bridge may contain a water line connecting the two independent City systems for use in emergency situations. The connector roadway from 2nd Street to westbound Bridge Street would cross the Gilsizer County Drainage District stormwater detention facility. Some roadway embankment would be placed in the southeast end of the basin. The detention capacity lost to the new embankment would be replaced with additional capacity by developing an adjacent basin in the center of the westbound loop off-ramp. Because of the size of the project and the nature of expanding the crossing from two lanes to four, most of the staging areas are included in the proposed construction footprint. However additional staging areas may be used as necessary for project construction located in the following places: 1) a paved parking area north of the bridge in Riverfront Park and 2) a portion of the old Feather River Mill Site at the southeast corner of Shasta and Bridge Streets. Both of these areas are included in the project area. While the proposed project includes a four lane crossing of the Feather River, the design would consider the possibility of phasing the construction. Dependent upon the timing of construction For the federal undertaking described in Part 1: To minimize redundancy and paperwork for the California Department of Transportation and the State Historic Preservation Officer, and in the spirit intended under the federal Paperwork Reduction Act (U.S.C. 44 Chapter 35), this document also satisfies consideration under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section §15064.5(a) and, as appropriate, Public Resources Code §5024 (a)(b) and (d). [HPSR form: 08-20-07] Page 2 State of California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency California Department of Transportation HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY REPORT funds, the first phase would be a new two-lane crossing, followed by the widening to a four- lane crossing in a second construction package. 2. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project was established in consultation with Gail St. John, Principal Architectural Historian, and Michael McCollum, District Local Assistance Engineer, on September 15, 2011. The APE map is located as Figure 3 in Attachment 1 of the Historic Property Survey Report. The APE contains approximately 64 acres extending approximately one linear mile between Yuba City and Marysville across the Feather River. The western edge of the project is at the intersection of Shasta and Bridge Street. The eastern end of the APE is located at the intersection of 5th Street and I Street. The Area of Direct Impact (ADI) includes all bridge replacement work, cut and fill areas, road widening, sidewalks, curb and gutter installation, and potential staging areas. The indirect APE includes adjacent properties that have structures, including the commercial and residential residences along Bridge Street, I Street, 2nd Street, and 5th Street. A small segment of a larger resource, the Gilsizer Slough (Map Reference #14), is located within the horizontal APE boundary, but will not be affected by the proposed undertaking and is outside of the vertical APE; therefore, the slough was not evaluated during the current effort. The vertical APE varies according to the location and proposed work within the various areas of the APE. Project construction would require up to 15 feet (ft) of excavation. The deepest excavation is expected along Bridge Street, on the Yuba City side of the project, in order to lower the profile of the new 5th Street on-ramp. Other construction activities requiring excavation would include construction of the abutments; ensuring underpass profiles are acceptable at the railroad bridge over 5th Street, and for general cut and fill roadway work. Drilled piles used to support the new bridge structure would extend as much as 150 ft deep at isolated locations associated with the piers and abutments. 3. CONSULTING PARTIES / PUBLIC PARTICIPATION x Local Government Yuba City Public Works (consultation with the Project Engineer, Kevin Bradford) Marysville Public Works (David Lamon, City Services Director) x Native American Tribes, Groups and Individuals Dokken Engineering sent an initial letter to the Native American contacts on the list provided by the NAHC on May 24, 2011. The letter provided a summary of the project and requested information regarding comments or concerns the Native American community might have about the project (HPSR Attachment 5). For the groups that did not respond, Dokken Engineering placed follow-up calls to the letter recipients on June 24, 2011, and again on June 30, 2011.

  • July, 1951 3 DOLLAR BERRY
    Finding a Better Way TOME, one of the most encouraging aspects of our recent general staff meeting was the evidence that here and there our traffic and operating men had approached some old, nagging problem from a new angle and found <l solution. The determination to find a better way not only proved successful in these instances but is in keeping with the whole history of progress. Railroads grew from an amusing experiment to a powerful basic in­ dustry not by blind devotion to the old but by a never­ ending search for the new-new time saving methodE, more productive use of facilities at hand, more fruitful cooperation between people and departments. Survival has, in fact, demanded improvement. Every day each of us looks at his particular part of The Milwaukee Road: the locomotives, the track, the typewriter and letters on the desk, the stock to be stored, the records to be prepared-the day's stint laid out and ready. But as we work with these things do we keep our minds open to the possibilities of improve­ ment, of finding a better way? Ours will be a better railroad and the individual's work will take on added interest if we all ask ourselves that question and wait for an honest answer. ~ ..... J. T. Gillick, retired operat ing vice presidenl THE J. T. GILLICK SCHOLARSHIP -,-~LTHOUGH the railroad's sponsor­ ship of the J. T. Gillick scholarship for sons of Milwaukee Road employes has been previously announced, a brief re­ yiew of the major points of the schol­ arship program is presented here for following recognized individuals in the scholarship will receive the award for the information of those who may not field of education: a year at a time, subject to renewal for be familiar with the details.

  • Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources
    Chapter 7—Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources 7.1 Introduction This chapter describes the existing conditions (environmental and regulatory) and assesses the potential cultural, paleontological, and tribal resources impacts of the 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (proposed MTP/SCS). Where necessary and feasible, mitigation measures are identified to reduce these impacts. The information presented in this chapter is based on review of existing and available information and is regional in scope. Data, analysis, and findings provided in this chapter were considered and prepared at a programmatic level. For consistency with the 2016 MTP/SCS EIR, paleontological resources are addressed in this chapter even though these resources are grouped with geology and soils in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines (SACOG 2016). Impacts to unique geologic features are addressed in Chapter 9 – Geology, Soils, Seismicity, and Mineral Resources. Cultural resources include archaeological sites or districts of prehistoric or historic origin, built environment resources older than 50 years (e.g., historic buildings, structures, features, objects, districts, and landscapes), and traditional or ethnographic resources, including tribal cultural resources, which are a separate category of cultural resources under CEQA. Paleontological resources include mineralized, partially mineralized, or unmineralized bones and teeth, soft tissues, shells, wood, leaf impressions, footprints, burrows, and microscopic remains that are more than 5,000 years old and occur mainly in Pleistocene or older sedimentary rock units. In response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP), SACOG received comments related to cultural and tribal cultural resources from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria.

  • Systems of California Indian Servitude Under US Rule
    ‘‘Unholy Traffic in Human Blood and Souls’’: Systems of California Indian Servitude under U.S. Rule BENJAMIN MADLEY The author teaches in the history department and American Indian Studies Program at the University of California, Los Angeles. From 1846 onward, at least 20,000 California Indians worked in varied forms of bondage under U.S. rule. This essay provides the first article-length survey of the statewide rise and fall of California’s systems of Indian servitude under U.S. rule, including their Russo-Hispanic antecedents, establishment under martial law, expansion under civilian rule, and dismantling by state and federal authorities. Further, this article proposes the first taxonomy of these systems and, in conclusion, discusses how California Indian servitude illuminates the histories of California, the western United States, the nation as a whole, and the western hemisphere while suggesting new analytical methods and research directions. Key words: American Indian labor, American Indian slavery, California Indians, California legal history, indentured servitude, unfree labor The author thanks Stephen Aron, Colin Calloway, Boyd Cothran, Robin Derby, Bruce Duthu, John Faragher, Daniel Lynch, Timothy Macholz, William Marotti, Valerie Mat- sumoto, Preston McBride, Edward Melillo, Aaron O’Connell, Carla Pestana, Jesse Philips, Arthur Rolston, Peter Stacey, Kevin Terraciano, Owen Williams, Craig Yirush, Judy Yung, Natale Zappia, and the Pacific Historical Review’s editors and anonymous reviewers.

How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.

  • Sites Reservoir Project Public Draft EIR/EIS
    18. Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources 18.1 Introduction This chapter describes the cultural resources setting for the Extended, Secondary, and Primary study areas. Cultural resources are sites, buildings, structures, objects, and districts that may have traditional or cultural value. This broad range of resources includes archaeological sites that reflect the prehistoric and historic-era past; historic-era resources, such as buildings and structures; landscapes and districts; and traditional cultural properties (TCPs), i.e., those resources that are historically rooted in a community’s beliefs, customs, and practices.1 Tribal cultural resources (TCRs), which were established by the State of California under Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and are similar resources that have specific cultural value to Native Americans, are also addressed. Descriptions and maps of these three study areas are provided in Chapter 1 Introduction. Permits and authorizations for cultural and tribal resources are presented in Chapter 4 Environmental Compliance and Permit Summary. The regulatory setting for cultural resources is presented in Appendix 4A Environmental Compliance. This chapter focuses primarily on the Primary Study Area. Potential impacts in the Secondary and Extended study areas were evaluated and discussed qualitatively. Potential local and regional impacts from constructing, operating, and maintaining the alternatives were described and compared to applicable significance thresholds. Mitigation measures are provided for identified potentially significant impacts, where appropriate. 18.2 Affected Environment 18.2.1 Extended Study Area 18.2.1.1 Prehistoric Context Archaeologists study the physical evidence of past human behavior called “material culture.”2 The archaeologists look for changes in material culture over time and across geographic regions to reconstruct the past.
