Their assistance during the relicensing process and during the implementation of the cultural resources study plans was greatly appreciated and was essential in order to prepare this Draft Historic Properties Management Plan. It is this spirit of cooperation that will assure the successful completion of a final document and its future implementation.

The purpose of the HPMP is to manage historic properties located within the Project Area of Potential Effects (APE). The HPMP follows the FERC’s "Guidelines for Preparing Cultural Resources Sections of Exhibit E" and utilizes the joint document prepared by the FERC and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) entitled “Draft Guidelines for the Development of Historic Properties Management Plans for FERC Hydroelectric Project License Applicant” (September 21, 1999). The HPMP was prepared in consultation with: • The California State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO); • Lassen National Forests (LNF); • Bureau of Land Management; • The Greenville Rancheria; and • The Mechoopda Indian Tribe of the Chico Rancheria. The HPMP prescribes specific activities and processes to manage historic properties within the APE. This plan includes the following topics that will guide the Licensee in applying both general and site-specific treatment measures: • Confidentiality; • General and site-specific treatment measures designed to address ongoing and future effects to historic properties that may be a result of the Project’s operation and maintenance; • A process of consultation with appropriate state and federal agencies, and participating Tribes; • A plan for public interpretation and education; • Procedures for inadvertent discoveries; • Procedures for emergency situations; • A plan for the treatment of human remains; and • A process for HPMP review and revision (as necessary).

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Pacific Gas and Electric Company, California Project No. 803-087 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (July 24, 2009) In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for the DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project (project), located on Butte Creek in Butte County, California, and has prepared a final environmental assessment (final EA). In the final EA, Commission staff analyze the potential environmental effects of relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new license for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A copy of the final EA is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection. The final EA may also be viewed on the Commission’s website at http://www.ferc.gov using the “eLibrary” link.

    IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS E. CULTURAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION This section of the DEIR evaluates potential impacts to cultural resources that may result from implementation of the Stonegate Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and General Plan Amendment / Rezone (“proposed project”). The information and analysis in this section is based on the following cultural resources reports prepared for the proposed project, which are included in Appendix E of this Draft EIR: Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc. (Far Western), Archaeological Survey and Extended Phase I Report for the Stonegate Subdivision Project, Butte County, California, June 2017.

  • 4.11 Cultural and Paleontological Resources
    4.11 CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section of the Draft EIR considers and evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed City of Chico General Plan Update on historical, cultural, and paleontological resources. Cultural resources are defined as prehistoric and historic sites, structures, and districts or any other physical evidence associated with human activity considered important to a culture, a subculture, or a community for scientific, traditional, or religious reasons. Paleontological resources include fossil remains, as well as fossil localities and formations which have produced fossil material. For analysis purposes, cultural resources may be categorized into four groups: archaeological resources (prehistoric and historical); historic properties, buildings, and districts; areas of importance to Native Americans; and paleontological resources (fossilized remains of plants and animals). Cultural resource impacts include those to existing historic resources (i.e., historic districts, landmarks, etc.) and to archaeological and paleontological resources. CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGY FOR EVALUATION OF CULTURAL RESOURCES The following definitions are common terms used to discuss the regulatory requirements and treatment of cultural resources: Cultural resources is the term used to describe several different types of properties: prehistoric and historical archaeological sites; architectural properties such as buildings, bridges, and infrastructure; and resources of importance to Native Americans. Historic properties is a term

Fisher, Ph.D. Date Department of Anthropology iv Abstract of LATE PREHISTORIC CHANGE IN THE FEATHER RIVER WATERSHED, BUTTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA by Ryan Timothy Bradshaw This study examines the idea that the introduction of the bow and arrow precipitated late prehistoric culture change in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Butte County, California. Based on Bettinger’s (2015) Orderly Anarchy Model, it is hypothesized that the hunting efficiency gained by the bow promoted a settlement and subsistence strategy that was conducive to plant resource intensification. Data for this thesis derive from archaeological investigations conducted during large infrastructure projects during the 1950s and 1960s, along with more recent work undertaken as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission relicensing project of the Lake Oroville Facilities.

    Note: This is an adaptation of a report currently in the HAER collection at the Library of Congress to illustrate the outline format: engineering structures. HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD HONEY RUN BRIDGE (Carr Hill Road Bridge) HAER No. CA-312 Location: Spanning Butte Creek at bypassed section of Honey Run Road (originally Carr Hill Road), Paradise vicinity, Butte County, California Honey Run Bridge is located at latitude: 39.75972, longitude: -121.62083. The coordinate represents the west end of the bridge. It was obtained in September 2002 by plotting its location on the Hamlin Canyon, California Quad map. The Honey Run Bridge has no restriction on its release to the public. Present Owner: Butte County, California; the Honey Run Bridge Association cares for the structure Present Use: Historic landmark and tourist attraction Significance: Honey Run Bridge is the best preserved of four surviving examples of Pratt-type wood covered bridges in the United States. Thomas and Caleb Pratt patented the Pratt truss in 1844, which features wood compression members and iron tension members. The design, favored for its strength and adaptability, became the standard American truss for moderate spans on both railroads and highways by 1870 and remained so well into the twentieth century. Historian: Lola Bennett, September 2002 Project Information: The National Covered Bridges Recording Project is part of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), a long-range program to document historically significant engineering and industrial works in the United States. HAER is administered by the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record/Historic American Landscapes Survey, a division of the National Park Service, U.S.
