Native Sons of the Golden West – Landmarks History
Historic Knight Foundry A Center of Innovation in the Mother Lode here was a time when the foothills of California bustled with activity. The lure of gold, copper and other trea- Tsures sent men into the earth in droves, so that it often seemed there was more activity under the ground than at the surface. Tools and machinery were needed to make the mining possible. Stamp mills, hoist works, pumps, ore cars, dredger buckets, rock crushers, and many other types of equipment had to be manufactured. If the mines were to operate, so must a foundry to cast the metal parts and a shop to machine them to final form. And this is where our story begins. Patent drawing for water wheel with signatures. Historic Knight Foundry, in Sutter Creek California, is believed to be the only remaining water powered foundry and machine shop in the United States. Origi- nally formed as Campbell, Hall & Co., the foundry was established in 1873 to better fill the ever growing needs of the Mother Lode mines, and to produce the patent- ed Knight water wheel. Samuel Knight, a partner with Campbell and Hall at the Samuel Knight and crew circa 1895. beginning of their foundry venture, lat- er bought them out with his new partner George Horne. Knight, a ship’s carpenter, had worked at mine construction sites in Calaveras and Amador counties, where he had begun to develop a more efficient water wheel. 2 The Knight Catalog of 1896 gives a brief history of Knight’s work: “About 1866, Mr. Knight, in common with others, made water wheels entirely out of wood. -

5. Environmental Analysis
5. Environmental Analysis 5.1 CULTURAL RESOURCES Cultural resources include places, object, structures, and settlements that reflect group or individual religious, archaeological, architectural, or paleontological activities, or are considered important for their architectural or historical value. Such resources provide information on scientific progress, environmental adaptations, group ideology, or other human advancements. This section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) evaluates the potential for implementation of the San Marino High School Michael White Adobe project to impact cultural resources in the City of San Marino. The analysis in this section is based, in part, upon the following information: • Michael White Adobe Historic Resources Technical Report, Chattel Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, August 4, 2009. This study is included in Appendix D of this Draft EIR. 5.1.1 Regulatory Background National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 (Protection of Historic Properties) of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Section 106 Review refers to the federal review process designed to ensure that historic properties are considered during federal project planning and implementation. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, an independent federal agency, administers the review process, with assistance from State Historic Preservation Offices. National Register of Historic Resources (National Register) The National Register is the nation’s official list of historic and cultural resources worthy of preservation. Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect the country’s historic and archaeological resources. -

The facility would be located in unincorporated eastern San Luis Obispo County, California, approximately one mile north of the community of California Valley and six miles northwest of the Carrizo Plain National Monument. The proposed facility would consist of a solar field of ground-mounted PV modules, an electrical collection system that converts generated power from direct current to alternating current and delivers it to a Project substation for collection and conversion from 34.5 to 230 kV for delivery via a new on-site Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) switching station, and the PG&E switching station that interconnects the Project to PG&E’s existing Morro Bay to Midway 230-kV transmission line. -
