  • 4.5 Cultural Resources
    4.5 – Cultural Resources 4.5 Cultural Resources This section identifies cultural and paleontological resources along the IC Project Alignment, identifies applicable significance thresholds, assesses the IC Project’s impacts to these resources and their significance, and recommends measures to avoid or substantially reduce any effects found to be potentially significant. Cultural resources are defined as any object or specific location of past human activity, occupation, or use that is identifiable through historical documentation, inventory, or oral evidence. Cultural resources can be separated into three categories: archaeological, building/structural, and traditional resources. Archaeological resources include prehistoric and historic remains of human activity. Prehistoric resources can be composed of lithic scatters, ceramic scatters, quarries, habitation sites, temporary camps/rock rings, ceremonial sites, and trails. Historic-era resources are typically those that are 50 years or older. Historic archaeological resources can consist of structural remains (e.g., concrete foundations), historic objects (e.g., bottles and cans), features (e.g., refuse deposits or scatters), and sites (e.g., resources that contain one or more of the aforementioned categories). Built environment resources range from historic buildings to canals, historic roads and trails, bridges, ditches, cemeteries, and electrical infrastructure, such as transmission lines, substations, and generating facilities. A traditional cultural resource is a resource associated with the cultural practices, traditions, beliefs, lifeways, arts, crafts, or social institutions of a living community. They are rooted in a traditional community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. See Section 4.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, for a discussion on cultural resources of potential importance to California Native American tribes.

D.2 AIR RESOURCES D.2.1 Regional and Background Information Regional Climate The Project site is located in southeastern California, in the Colorado Desert. The climate in the Blythe area is categorized as a desert climate, with dry, hot summers and mild winters. The region is characterized by extreme fluctuations of daily temperatures, strong seasonal winds, and clear skies. January is the coldest month, with a mean low temperature of 41.7 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). July is the hottest month, with a mean high temperature of 108.4°F. Temperature and precipitation data were measured at Blythe from July 1948 through June 2016 (Western Regional Climate Center [WRCC] 2018a). The mean temperature for the Blythe station is 73.7°F, and the mean annual precipitation is 3.55 inches. More than half of the precipitation occurs between November and March. Although rainfall occurs primarily in the winter months, the region is periodically influenced by subtropical weather conditions, especially sudden monsoonal late summer storms.

COPYRIGHT: Unknown RESTRICTIONS: This collection is unrestricted. CREDIT LINE: United States Army Desert Training Center Collection, Y-MS 20, Arizona Historical Society-Rio Colorado Division, Yuma PROCESSED BY: Benjamin Findley, 2014 HISTORICAL NOTE: The Desert Training Center was established in 1942 to provide training in desert warfare for troops slated to be deployed to the African theatre of World War II. Major General George S. Patton Jr. was tasked with setting up the Center and was designated its first Commanding General. A large tract of land approximately 10,000 square miles was chosen along the California-Arizona border and the southern tip of Nevada. This area was chosen because it included variety of desert terrains and had no large population centers. Operations began in April, 1942. This allowed the U. S. Army to test standard army equipment against the harsh environment and to develop a desert tactical doctrine. The supply officers contended with maintaining supply routes without access to railroad lines. Many of the initial training exercises resulted in high casualty rates due to restrictions on water rations. In July, 1942 Patton was abruptly re-assigned to the North African Campaign leaving Major General Alvan Gillem in command. The success of the North African Campaign by late 1942 meant that the Army no longer needed troops trained for desert combat. The Army increased the size of the area to approximately 87,000 square miles and changed its name from the Desert Training Center to the California- Arizona Maneuver Area.

Their passage was blocked by a huge sheet of ice until an ice-free corridor opened from Alaska through northwestern Canada, allowing bands to fan out throughout the rest of the continent.

  • A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona
    A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated With FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Prepared for: Verizon Wireless Tempe, Arizona Prepared by: Terracon Consultants, Inc. Tempe, Arizona Terracon Project No. 65157582 August 2018 ABSTRACT Report Title: A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Report Date: August 2018 Agencies: Federal Communications Commission, Arizona State Historic Preservation Office Project Sponsor: Verizon Wireless (Verizon) Project Description: Verizon constructs and collocates telecommunications facilities in Arizona. Due to the involvement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the projects, they are considered federal undertakings subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviews FCC-licensed undertakings pursuant to two nationwide programmatic agreements. Some of Verizon’s proposed undertakings may be found by the FCC and SHPO to have an adverse effect on historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of this General Historic Properties Treatment Plan (General HPTP) is to streamline the resolution of adverse effects to historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the NRHP by Verizon-sponsored undertakings on private lands in Arizona. This streamlined resolution will also include the preparation of a project-specific addendum to the General HPTP. The General HPTP does not apply to state, county, municipal, or Tribal lands including private lands within tribal reservation boundaries, or to lands under federal jurisdiction. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Section 1.

    Appendix I Traffic Study TRAFFIC STUDY FOR Desert Sunlight Solar Farm Desert Center, California Prepared for: Tetra Tech 301 East Vanderbilt Way, Suite 450 San Bernardino, CA 92408 Prepared by: Hernandez, Kroone & Associates 234 East Drake Drive San Bernardino, CA 92408 June 2010 I-1 I. Introduction A. Purpose of the TIA and Study Objectives This analysis was prepared to identify traffic impacts and, if needed, propose mitigation, of those impacts of the construction of the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm (Project) proposed by First Solar Development (First Solar). The Project includes a solar farm producing up to 550 MW of electrical power, approximately 12 miles of 230-kV transmission line and a 230 – 500 kV substation. The Project will provide renewable electrical power. “The purpose of this Project is to create a clean, renewable source of electricity that helps meet California’s growing demand for power and helps fulfill national and State renewable energy and GHG goals. Solar energy provides a sustainable, renewable source of power that helps reduce fossil fuel dependence and GHG emissions.”i (GHG stands for “Green House Gas”) “The Project will utilize First Solar’s proven thin film cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV technology, which is readily scalable to the Project’s size.”ii This traffic study was completed with generally accepted procedures and reflects the opinions of Hernandez, Kroone & Associates (HKA). The methods used are based on the Highway Capacity Manual. The traffic study follows the outline in the Riverside County Transportation Department “Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guide”, dated April 2008. Measure of Impacts - The existing condition and the future conditions without project traffic is the yardstick to determine the magnitude of the project and its traffic impacts.
