Cultural Resources Inventory Report For
CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY REPORT FOR PORTIONS OF THE RICHMOND PROPERTIES RICHMOND, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA March 2013 PREPARED FOR: Tetra Tech, Inc. 1999 Harrison Street, Suite 500 Oakland, CA 94612 PREPARED BY: Barb Siskin, M.A., RPA Erica Schultz, M.H.P Kruger Frank, B.A. Garcia and Associates 1 Saunders Avenue San Anselmo, CA 94960 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report presents the results of the cultural resources investigation, which included the identification of archaeological resources and cultural landscape features, for portions of the University of California’s Richmond properties in Richmond, Contra Costa County, California. Within the 133-acre area comprised of these properties, the University of California proposes to consolidate the biosciences programs of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and to develop additional facilities for use by both the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley, and other institutional or industry counterparts for research and development focused on energy, environment, and health. The Phase 1 development plan would construct the first three buildings within a smaller 16-acre area on these properties. Due to the involvement of the United States Department of Energy, the proposed Phase 1 development is a federal undertaking as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations, 36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 800. Therefore, only the smaller 16-acre area is subject to Section 106 regulations in order to take into account the effect of the undertaking on any historic property (i.e., district, site, building, structure, or object) that is included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. -

3.0 Affected Environment
Chapter 3 3.0 Affected Environment 3.1 Traffic and Transportation Systems This section presents an overview of the traffic and transportation systems in the vicinity of the Hercules ITC in Hercules, California, as well as along the broader I-80 corridor between the Carquinez and San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridges. The existing transportation modes include roadways, railways, and pedestrian/bicycle trails. The transportation portion of the proposed project includes development of a bus-to-train connection for an anticipated usage of up to 837 riders per day (Fehr & Peers 2009), extending John Muir Parkway, and providing a 220-space surface parking lot (on Block N) in the near- term. In the long-term, a transit area garage with approximately 450 spaces would be constructed. The proposed project would improve access to public mass transit and would be a benefit to the residents and workers in the vicinity of the Hercules ITC and the region. In fact, the majority of transit riders using the Hercules ITC are projected to come from the new residential units located within one-half mile of the transit center and the immediate surrounding cities and communities of Hercules, Pinole, and Rodeo-Crockett. Residents and commuters from the unincorporated communities of Contra Costa and Solano counties along I- 80 east of Hercules are also likely to utilize the Hercules ITC. The traffic related to the proposed project would result in minor net benefit to the area-wide transportation systems that serve the seven-million people who live in the Bay Area. Detailed traffic discussion, therefore, focuses on the cities of Hercules, Pinole, and Rodeo-Crockett (the area of western Contra Costa County). -

The potential impact associated with implementation of the Draft Specific Plan are evaluated and mitigation measures are recommended as appropriate. 1. Setting This section describes existing conditions of cultural and paleontological resources in order to assess potential impacts to such resources as a result of the implementation of the proposed Plan. Paleon- tological resources consist of fossils and their immediate surroundings, while cultural resources can consist of prehistoric and historical archaeological sites, buildings, structures, or objects significant in local, regional, or national history. Baseline conditions are determined by: (1) identifying known paleontological and cultural resources; (2) providing a brief overview of the planning area’s geologi- cal and historical background; and (3) describing the cultural resource laws, codes, and regulations applicable to the Plan area. a. Paleontological Resources. The following section briefly describes Martinez’s geological setting, identifies those formations that may contain paleontological resources, and provides a pre- liminary sensitivity assessment for the occurrence of such resources within or adjacent to the planning area.
