Concannon Vineyard Warehouse/Administration Building Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration PREPARED FOR: Alameda County 224 West Winton Avenue Hayward, CA 94544 September 2011 Concannon Vineyard Warehouse/Administration Building Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Prepared for: Alameda County Planning Division Ms. Jana Beatty-Weldon, Senior Planner 224 West Winton Avenue, Room 111 Hayward, CA 94544 510-670-5400 Prepared by: Ascent Environmental, Inc. Amanda Olekszulin, Principal 455 Capitol Mall, Suite 210 Sacramento, CA 95814 916-930-3183 [email protected] September TBD, 2011 11010027.01 MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Project: Concannon Vineyards Administration/Warehouse Building Lead Agency: Alameda County PROJECT DESCRIPTION This Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), supported by the attached Initial Study (IS), evaluates the environmental effects of a proposed administration/warehouse building at the Concannon Vineyards complex in Alameda County, California. The applicant, The Wine Group, is proposing the construction of a new 50,615 square foot (sq. ft.) building on the northwest corner of the property. The buildings’ primary function would be to provide additional storage space for wine supplies and materials (e.g., dry bottles and boxes, packaged cases of wine), and administrative offices for existing employees. The building would provide a dedicated warehouse space to store equipment and supplies to support existing production operations. Alameda County is the lead agency for this project and has prepared this MND. FINDINGS An IS has been prepared to assess the projects potential effects on the environment and the significance of those effects. Based on the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project would not have any significant effects on the environment once mitigation measures are implemented. This conclusion is supported by the following findings: 1. The proposed project would have no impact related to biological resources, mineral resources, and population and housing. 2. The proposed project would have a less‐than‐significant impact on aesthetics, air quality, land use planning, greenhouse gases, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, public services, recreation, and transportation and traffic, 3. Mitigation is required to reduce potentially significant impacts related to cultural resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, and utilities and service systems. Mitigation measures would clearly reduce all significant impacts to a less‐than‐significant level. The applicant has agreed to implement all required mitigation. Following are the mitigation measures that will be implemented by the applicant to avoid or minimize environmental impacts. CULTURAL RESOURCES Mitigation Measure CUL‐1 If an inadvertent discovery of cultural materials (e.g., animal bone, unusual amounts of shell, ceramics, glass, etc.) is made during project‐related ground disturbing activities, any ground disturbance in the area of the find shall be halted and a qualified professional archaeologist shall be notified regarding the discovery. The archaeologist shall determine whether the resource is potentially significant per the NRHP/CRHR and develop appropriate mitigation. Mitigation may include, but not necessarily be limited to, in‐field documentation, archival research, archaeological testing, data recovery excavations or recordation. Alameda County Concannon Vineyard Administration/Warehouse Building MND‐1 Mitigated Negative Declaration Ascent Environmental Mitigation Measure CUL‐2 Before the start of grading and/or excavation, the applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist or archaeologist to train all construction personnel involved with earthmoving activities, regarding the possibility of encountering paleontological resources at the site, the appearance and types of paleontological resources likely to be seen during project construction, and proper notification procedures should such resources be encountered. In the event that paleontological resources are discovered during ground disturbing activities, grading and construction work within 100 feet of the find shall be suspended until the significance of the features can be determined by a qualified professional paleontologist as appropriate. A qualified professional paleontologist shall then make recommendations for measures necessary to protect the find, or to undertake data recovery, excavation, analysis, and curation of paleontological materials as appropriate. In accordance with the California Health and Safety Code, if human remains are uncovered during ground‐ disturbing activities, potentially damaging excavation in the area of the burial shall be halted and the Alameda County Coroner and a professional archaeologist shall be contacted to determine the nature and extent of the remains. The coroner is required to examine all discoveries of human remains within 48 hours of receiving notice of a discovery on private or state lands (Health and Safety Code, Section 7050.5[b]). If the coroner determines that the remains are those of a Native American, he or she must contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) by phone within 24 hours of making that determination (Health and Safety Code, Section 7050[c]). If the remains are determined to be those of a Native American, then the following will occur: (a) The (State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the construction contractor, an archaeologist, and the NAHC‐ designated Most Likely Descendant (MLD) shall determine the ultimate treatment and disposition of the remains and take appropriate steps to ensure that additional human interments are not disturbed. The responsibilities for acting upon notification of a discovery of Native American human remains are identified in Section 5097.9 of the California Public Resources Code. (b) The SHPO shall ensure that the immediate vicinity (according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards and practices) is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until consultation with the MLD has taken place. The MLD will have 48 hours to complete a site inspection and make recommendations after being granted access to the site. A range of possible treatments for the remains, including nondestructive removal and analysis, preservation in place, relinquishment of the remains and associated items to the descendants, or other culturally appropriate treatment may be discussed. Assembly Bill (AB) 2641 suggests that the concerned parties may extend discussions beyond the initial 48 hours to allow for the discovery of additional remains. AB 2641(e) includes a list of site protection measures and states that the County will implement one or more of the following measures: record the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center, utilize an open‐space or conservation zoning designation or easement, and/or record a document with the County in which the property is located. (c) The applicant or their authorized representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance if the NAHC is unable to identify a MLD, or if the MLD fails to make a recommendation within 48 hours after being granted access to the site. The County may also reinter the remains in a location not subject to further disturbance if he/she rejects the recommendation of the MLD, and mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the County. Alameda County MND‐2 Concannon Vineyard Administration/Warehouse Building Ascent Environmental Mitigated Negative Declaration GEOLOGY AND SOILS Mitigation Measure GEO‐1 The project applicant or its contractor shall secure a General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Construction Activities from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). As a condition of that permit, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction activities shall be prepared and implemented. The SWPPP shall identify pollutant sources that could affect the quality of stormwater discharge, and shall include provisions for implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) that reduce or eliminate water pollution associated with project construction. The following includes a partial list of BMPs that shall be included, as applicable, in order to mitigate construction related water quality impacts: If excavation occurs during the rainy season, storm runoff from the construction area shall be regulated through a storm water management/erosion control plan that shall include temporary onsite silt traps and/or basins with multiple discharge points to natural drainages and energy dissipaters. Stockpiles of loose material shall be covered and runoff diverted away from exposed soil material. If work stops due to rain, positive grading away from slopes shall be provided to carry the surface runoff to areas where flow would be controlled, such as the temporary silt basins. Sediment basins/traps shall be located and operated to minimize the amount of offsite sediment transport. Any trapped sediment shall be removed from the basin or trap and placed at a suitable location onsite, away from concentrated flows, or removed to an approved disposal site. Temporary erosion control measures (such as fiber rolls, staked straw bales, detention basins, check dams, geofabric, sandbag dikes, and temporary revegetation or other

  • Murrieta's Well: Historical Timeline

    Murrieta's Well: Historical Timeline

    MURRIETA’S WELL: HISTORICAL TIMELINE 1850s Joaquin Murrieta, a legendary bandito, roams California during the Gold Rush era. Murrieta earns a reputation and a livelihood rounding up cattle and horses that then ran wild in the California open range, driving them down to Mexico to sell to the Mexican Army, a very lucrative business. Larger than life for these escapades and for taking revenge against American miners who assaulted his wife and killed his brother, Murrieta’s reputation spreads as far south as Chile. During his crusades he set up base camps up and down the coast range. Murrieta and his men often stopped to water their horses at an artesian well bubbling up from the floor of the Livermore Valley at the base of the Arroyo Mocho, today the site of Murrieta’s Well Winery. 1870s Louis Mel, pioneering businessman, emigrates from France to the United States, setting up insurance agencies all over the west from Canada to Mexico. During his travels, Mel falls in love with the Livermore Valley in California. There, Mel buys a charming property with a flowing stream and an artesian well the locals call “Murrieta’s Well.” Mel’s discovery of this natural source of water and the unusually gravelly soil capture his attention due to its likeness to some of greatest vineyard sites in France. Mel buys the surrounding land and builds a gravity-flow winery into the hillside adjacent to the well, where the century old walls of river rock and cement still stand. 1880s In 1884, Louis Mel’s wife writes a letter to her childhood friend, the wife of the Marquis de Lur-Saluces at the famous Chateau d’Yquem in Bordeaux, introducing fellow Livermore Valley pioneer Charles Wetmore.
