consists of constructing a 4 million gallon (MG) water storage reservoir on the existing City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department’s (CSBMWD) 4.29-acre Palm Reservoir site. The site contains an existing 5 MG and a 325,000 gallon above groundwater storage reservoirs, a water pumping station, hydro-generation station which produces electricity from the energy in water delivered to the site from higher elevations, and various other water supply equipment (pipes, valves, etc.). The Palm Reservoir water system provides water to the CSBMWD’s College-Palm pressure zone. Presently, the College-Palm pressure zone has about a 3.2 MG deficiency in emergency and fire flow water storage capacity to comply

The assessment included a records search, archival research, field surveys, and this report. The subject property is approximately four acres and is currently developed with a 1922 residence and related structures, as well as more than 700 citrus trees. The proposed project involves the removal of the citrus grove and related buildings to facilitate construction of an approximately 179,000-square foot concrete tilt-up warehouse building and related parking on two parcels to be merged into one. The City as Lead Agency for the project required this study as part of the environmental review process to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of the study is to provide the City with the necessary information and analysis to determine, as mandated by CEQA, whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any historical/archaeological resources that may exist in or around the project area.

  • History of San Bernardino, California, Wikipedia
    History of San Bernardino, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_San_Bernardino,_California History of San Bernardino, California From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia San Bernardino, California, was named in 1810. This article relates to the present-day city of San Bernardino and its surrounding areas. Contents 1 Earliest inhabitants 2 Spanish California 3 Mission California 4 Rancho period 5 Mormon San Bernardino 6 Recall 7 1860s and 1870s 8 Rail wars, rise to local prominence 9 The dawn of the 20th Century 10 World War II and its aftermath 11 Redevelopment and decline 12 Recent history 13 Historical San Bernardino today 14 See also 15 References Earliest inhabitants San Bernardino's earliest known inhabitants were Serrano Indians (Spanish for "people of the mountains") who spent their winters in the valley, and their summers in the cooler mountains. They were known as the "Yuhaviatam" or People of the Pines. They have lived in the valley since approximately 1000 B.C. They lived in small brush covered structures. At the time the Spanish first visited the valley, approximately 1500 Serranos inhabited the area. They lived in villages of ten to thirty structures that the Spanish named rancherías. The Tongva Indians also called the San Bernardino area Wa'aach in their language.[1] Spanish California Spanish Military Commander of California Pedro Fages probably entered San Bernardino valley in 1772. Missionary priest Father Francisco Garces entered the valley in 1774, as did the de Anza Expedition, though not in present-day San Bernardino. The traditional (since there is a dispute as to the following events) founding and naming of San Bernardino is that Padre Francisco Dumetz, a Franciscan priest, made a trip from the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel to the San Bernardino Valley on May 20, 1810, the feast day of Saint Bernardino of Siena (San Bernardino in Spanish) during California's Mission Period.

CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT JULY 2014 WALDEN STRUCTURES RESIDENTIAL PROJECT CITY OF REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA MANAGEMENT SUMMARY LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) is under contract to Walden Structures to conduct a cultural resources assessment for Tentative Tract Map 18952 in an unincorporated area of Redlands, San Bernardino County, California. The 38.34-acre undeveloped property is proposed to be developed with 131 single-family residences. As part of the development process and in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), City staff is requiring a Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment. As such, a cultural resources records search, literature review, and intensive survey were conducted for the project. Water conveyance features (concrete standpipe irrigation system) were identified within the project boundaries during the survey, but they do not constitute a cultural landscape or warrant recordation or evaluation as cultural resources. No prehistoric cultural resources have been documented within 0.5 mile of the project area; it has been so severely disturbed by previous agricultural use that sensitivity is low for subsurface archaeological resources.

The City required this study as part of the environmental review process to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A cultural resources records search, additional research, and a field survey were conducted for the project area. A historic period residence was formerly located within the project area, and the project parcels were under cultivation for several decades during the historic period. In addition, six resources related to Native American cultural heritage are recorded within a mile. Considering these factors, along with the limited data from the records search (only approximately 20 percent of the area within one mile has been surveyed for cultural resources), the project parcels have some potential for subsurface resources.
