(Æ) was retained by Albert A. WEBB Associates (WEBB) to conduct a cultural resource investigation for the proposed Brookfield Menifee Valley Project (Project) Area of Potential Effects (APE) in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report summarizes the methods and results of the cultural resource investigation of the approximate 598 acre APE within the City of Menifee, Riverside County, California. This assessment included a records search and literature review, communication with Native American tribal representatives, and an archaeological survey of the APE. The purpose of the investigation was to determine whether the proposed Project would affect historic properties. A cultural resources literature and records search was completed at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), housed at the University of California, Riverside. The results indicate that the entire APE had been previously surveyed. One cultural resource, a prehistoric bedrock milling site (CA-RIV-3429/ P-33-003429), has been previously documented within the APE. Æ also requested a search of the Sacred Lands File from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which

Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 \ \ Obsidian: An Interdisciplinary Bibliography by Craig E. Skinner Kim J. Tremaine • 1993 by Craig Skinner and Kim Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Department of Anthropology San Jose State University San Jose, CA 95192-0113 International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 Magmas cooled to freezing temperature and crystallized to a solid have to lose heat of crystallization. A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'. They were going to hunt deer. They set snares on the runway at Blood Gap. Adder bad real obsidian. The others made their arrows out of just anything. They did not know about obsidian. When deer were caught in snares, Adder shot and ran as fast as he could to the deer, pulled out the obsidian and hid it in his quiver.

Timothy Gross (May 2009) and the addendum to that report, prepared by Mary Robbins-Wade of HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) in January 2015. This letter report was prepared in response to a request from City of San Diego (City) staff that an archaeologist and a Native American monitor assess the current condition of the cultural resources within the project site. The proposed project design has not changed since the 2009 submittal. Site conditions within the project footprint have not changed, and the proposed data recovery plan is still adequate to mitigate potential project impacts, as described below. BACKGROUND The Roselle Street project (project) is located within the significant archaeological and cultural resource site known as Ystagua (CA-SDI-4609). The property is located on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley, in the City of San Diego, in western San Diego County. The parcel is on the alluvial flats along Carroll Canyon Creek in Soledad Canyon, at the end of Roselle Street, although some of the steep valley wall is included in the eastern portion of the property, as well. On July 23, 2009, the project property was designated by the City’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) as HRB Site #924, Village of Ystagua Area #1.

This cultural resources assessment was completed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The cultural resources assessment included records searches, additional research, and field surveys of the project area. Three previously documented cultural resources were identified within the project area: a still‐active subsurface aqueduct (33‐015734), an abandoned railroad line (33‐ 015743), and the former site of an early 20th century farm (33‐015900). One additional linear resource that transects the project area (Hemet Channel) was also documented. Although previously evaluated as not significant under CEQA, the farm site retains some potential for subsurface deposits.
