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. -

GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository
GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1974-1996, bulk 1974-1978 Conditions Governing Use: Permission to publish, quote or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder Conditions Governing Access: Research is by appointment only Source: Surveys were compiled by Tom Sitton, former Head of History Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Background: In 1973, the History Department of the Natural History Museum was selected to conduct surveys of Los Angeles County historic sites as part of a statewide project funded through the National Preservation Act of 1966. Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms. -
Fernandeiio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians Federal Petition Office Of
Fernandeiio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians Federal Petition Office of Federal Acknowledgment Bureau of Indian Affairs U.S. Department of Interior Supplementary and Updated Information to the Petition of 2009 CRITERIA 87.3(a) Fernanderio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians I 2015 Supplement Federal Recognition §83.7(a) Supplementary and Updated Information to the Fernandeiio Tataviam Band of Mission Indian Petition of 2009 Section 83.7 (a). The petitioner has been identified as an American Indian entity on a substantially continuous basis since 1900. Identification and Recognition Before 1900 To comprehend identification as an American Indian entity since 1900, it is essential to understand the social and cultural organization of the Indian groups that populated the San Fernando Mission, as well as the region, for centuries, if not longer, before the missions were established. Before significant European contact, the Indians of California, including the Indians who eventually entered into San Fernando Mission after 1797, were independent, decentralized, uni-lineal kinship groups. Political recognition with each other came from mutual respect of boundaries, and agreement upon rules of ceremonial activities, economic exchange, as well as political cooperation and respect. The eminent anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, who wrote in the 1950s, called this form of social and political organization a "tribelet." Kroeber said: (T)hese tribelet units, with around 200 to 300 members, were the basic political and social units in native California Indian -

Fernandefio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians Federal Petition Office Of
Fernandefio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians Federal Petition Office of Federal Acknowledgment Bureau of Indian Affairs U.S. Department of Interior Supplem·entary and Updated Information to the Petition of 2009 CRITERIA 87.3(b) Fernandefio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians 12015 Supplement Federal Recognition §83.7(b) Supplementary and Updated Information to the Fernandeiio Tataviam Band of Mission Indian Petition of 2009 Section 83 .7 (b ). The predominant portion of the petitioning group comprises a distinct community and has existed from historical times to the present. As presented in the supplement and the original petition, the social organization of California in general, and southern California in particular, is composed of a regional network of lineage communities that trade, share ceremonies, and intermarry. This regional pattern existed in the pre-contact period, as far as scholars can reconstruct, and many principal aspects of the regional network and lineage communities continue to define the social and political patterns of the present-day Fernandefios; but all southern California tribes share similar social and political patterns. We refer the reader to the first section [83.7. (a)] of this supplementary report on the recognition of pre-contact social organization, as mainly described by the eminent anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. That section also links the San Fernando baptismal records to specific historical lineage communities, or as Kroeber says, tribelets, (see pages 1-5). The Mission padres recorded the names of the tribelets, and recognized their presence as an obstacle to achieving a Christian community and managing the economy of the estate under the mission plan. -

Environmental Setting
BARREN RIDGE RENEWABLE TRANSMISSION PROJECT FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT CHAPTER 3:ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING CHAPTER 3: ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides a description of the existing environment potentially affected by the construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of the Barren Ridge Renewable Transmission Project (BRRTP). As described in Chapter 2, five Project Alternatives—including the Proposed Action, three additional action Alternatives, and the No Action Alternative (Proposed Action and Alternatives)—are analyzed in detail in this Final EIS/EIR. The Proposed Action and action Alternatives would consist of the following components: (1) Expansion of the existing Barren Ridge Switching Station. (2) Construction of a new electrical switching station in Haskell Canyon. (3) Construction of a new double-circuit 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Barren Ridge Switching Station to a new switching station located within Haskell Canyon. The length of the new transmission line would vary for each action Alternative and would range from 61 to 83 miles. (4) Upgrade of 76 miles of the existing Barren Ridge – Rinaldi (BR-RIN) 230 kV transmission line with larger capacity conductors between the Barren Ridge Switching Station and Rinaldi Substation. (5) Addition of 12 miles of a new 230 kV circuit on the existing double-circuit structures from Haskell Canyon to the Castaic Power Plant. The action Alternatives would cross a variety of public and private land within the jurisdictions of multiple federal, State and local agencies or political subdivisions. Potential impacts from the Proposed Action or an Alternative are addressed in Chapter 4 of this Final EIS/EIR. -
