  • March JPA General Plan
    Draft Vision 2030: March JPA General Plan March 2010 Draft 1.0 Introduction 1.0 Introduction 1.1 History In discussing the future of the March Joint Powers Authority (March JPA) Planning Area, it is imperative to start by identifying the intricately-linked history of the United States military with the surrounding area in Riverside County. Prior to 1917, the area that would later be known as the March area was within the boundaries of the Alessandro Townsite and the Hendrick Ranch (Figure 1-1). At the turn of the 20th century the area was primarily used for livestock grazing, with agriculture occurring in nearby areas with ground water or imported surface water. March ARB prior to 1917 By 1918 a small air strip, Alessandro Flying Training Field, was established on a 640- acre site identified as part of the Hendrick Estate (Harley 1971: 147). This field was used by aviators from Rockwell Field on cross-country flights from San Diego. 1-1 1.0 Introduction In anticipation of entering into World War I, the United States rushed to strengthen its military forces. Congressional appropriations in early 1917 attempted to back the plans of General George O. Squier, the Army’s chief signal officer who was charged to build an army in the air. Efforts by Frank Miller, then owner of Riverside’s Mission Inn, Hiram Johnson and other California notables succeeded in gaining War Department approval to construct a military airfield at Alessandro Field. After military operations began in the area, the military presence waxed and waned in response to the defense needs of the nation.

The Cultural Resources Survey was conducted to identify potential significant cultural resources located within the subject property boundaries. The Cultural Resources Survey was prepared in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended in 2015, which includes criteria for eligibility to the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) as part of the client’s Conditional Use Permit application. The results of the records search conducted at the Eastern Information Center at UC (EIUC) Riverside failed to identify any prehistoric resources within the boundaries of the study area. Additionally, the results of the field study were also negative for prehistoric resources and no prehistoric resources of any kind were identified during the course of the investigation. The results of the records search conducted at the EIUC indicated that no historic archaeological sites or historic structures had been previously recorded within the project area. The results of the historic map research were also negative. No historic archaeological sites were discovered during the course of the investigation.

Christopher Goodwin and Associates, Inc. 241 E. Fourth Street Suite 100 Frederick, Maryland 21701 FINAL REPORT June 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Historic Context for Department of Defense (DoD) World War H Permanent Construction combines two previous reports: Historic Context for Department of Defense Facilities World War H Permanent Construction (Hirrel et al., draft June 1994) and Methodology for World War H Permanent Construction (Whelan, draft August 1996). This project was designed to meet the following objectives: • To analyze and synthesize historical data on the military's permanent construction program during World War H. • To assist DoD cultural resource managers and other DoD personnel with fulfilling their responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHP A) of 1966, as amended. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to identity, evaluate, and nominate to the National Register of Historic Places historic properties under their jurisdiction. Section 110 Guidelines, developed by the National Park Service, U.S. Department ofthe Interior, direct federal agencies to establish historic contexts to identifY and evaluate historic properties (53FR 4727-46). • To develop a consistent historic context framework that provides comparative data and background information in a cost-effective manner, which will allow DoD personnel to assess the relative significance of World War II military construction.

  • Fort Macarthur Defender of Los Angeles
    The Guardian at Angels Gate Fort MacArthur Defender of Los Angeles by Mark A. Berhow and David Gustafson Fort MacArthur Military Press, San Pedro, California, 2002 Coast Defense Study Group ePress electronic edition, 2011 Fort MacArthur Military Museum City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks 3601 S. Gaffey Street San Pedro, CA 1 An executive order—issued September 14, 1888—set aside a strip of land adjacent to the bound- ary of the newly incorporated city of San Pedro, California. Signed by President Grover Cleveland, the order designated the area of “the old government reservation” to be used as a military reservation. It is from this point in time that Fort MacArthur traces its military career. As a part of the US Air Force’s Los Angeles Air Force Base, the post continues in its purpose of public service to the citizens of the United States of America. The Fort MacArthur Museum is charged with preserving its military past. Towards that goal this history has been compiled to preserve the history of this important post. Much of this work was derived from materi- als prepared by Col. Gustafson for distribution to the Army personnel and visitors of Fort MacArthur in the late 1970s. Additional material was obtained from the San Pedro Bay Historical Society, the Los Angeles Air Force Base Historical Section, the March Air Force Base Museum, and the Coast Defense Study Group, Bel Air, Maryland.

Colton, California, and San Antonio, Texas Contract No. F41624-97-D-8018, Delivery Order No. 64 Approved by: Date: ________________________________ ________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides the first statutory 5-year review for Operable Unit (OU) 1 sites at March Air Reserve Base (ARB) and former March Air Force Base (AFB) in Riverside County, California. The review was conducted in accordance with the draft Comprehensive Five-Year Review Guidance issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (540R-98-050). The protection of human health and the environment by the remedial actions at OU 1 is discussed in this document. The results of the 5-year review indicate that the remedies implemented at the sites are expected to be protective of human health and the environment. Overall, the remedies were functioning as designed and were operated and maintained in an appropriate manner. No deficiencies impacting the protectiveness of the remedies were noted during this review. Since the OU1 Record of Decision (ROD) was signed, the Air Force and regulatory agencies have recognized that institutional controls (ICs) and land use controls are an important part of any remedy where waste is left in place above unrestricted levels. For Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) properties, these ICs take the form of deed restrictions and a state land use covenant that “runs with the land.” At this time the Air Force and regulatory agencies are in formal dispute on several IC issues.
