  • 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.

  • The Land This Is a View of the City of Concord Taken About 1930. Note
    The Land This is a view of the city of Concord taken about 1930. Note the dark spot in the center of the picture. These are the eucalyptus trees growing in Todos Santos Plaza. Lime Ridge can be seen, extending down from the base of Mt. Diablo. Mt. Diablo is the most prominent landform in Contra Costa County, rising 3,849 feet above the city of Concord. Plate tectonics played a major role in the formation of the mountain. Plates “float” on a layer of semi-molten rock, moving and jostling each other, creating landforms in the process. The rise of Mt. Diablo to its present height is the result of tectonic forces. Faults surround the mountain. The Coast Range Fault and the Mt. Diablo Fault join forces to circle Mt. Diablo. Compression forces began to thrust the mountain upward around 4.83 million years ago. Geologists believe that the mountain is still growing at the rate of 2 millimeters per year. Culturally, the mountain plays an important role, with many hiking trails and camping sites to welcome visitors. Every December 7, the aircraft beacon on the top of the building at the summit is illuminated to memorialize the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941; the start of World War II. Major faults surround the city of Concord. The Calaveras Fault is an important branch of the San Andreas Fault. It lies to the east of the Hayward Fault, another branch of the San Andreas Fault Zone. All of these faults are right lateral strike-slip faults. The Concord Fault and the Clayton-Marsh Creek-Greenville Fault continue to be active, playing a role in the growth of Mt.

  • 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).

    LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. DOWNTOWN MARTINEZ DRAFT SPECIFIC PLAN EIR DECEMBER 2004 IV. SETTING, IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES G. CULTURAL RESOURCES G. CULTURAL RESOURCES This section describes the baseline conditions for paleontological and cultural resources within or adjacent to the Plan area. 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.

    Concord Hills Regional Park LAND USE PLAN 2019 APPENDICES Photos: Stephen Joseph Stephen Photos: Concord Hills Regional Park Land Use Plan CONCORD HILLS REGIONAL PARK LAND USE PLAN | APPENDICES APPENDIX A PUBLIC MEETING SUMMARIES 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS CONCORD HILLS REGIONAL PARK LAND USE PLAN WORKSHOP SUMMARY Public Meeting #1: Vision Concord Senior Center | 2727 Parkside Circle | Concord, CA 94519 July 23, 2015 | 6:30- 8:30pm EVENT OVERVIEW Approximately 90 members of the public participated in a workshop to envision the future regional park at the Concord Naval Weapons Station. The workshop included a presentation of the project from East Bay Regional Parks District, National Park Service (NPS), and PlaceWorks; three interactive board stations, and a small-group mapping activity. The first interactive boards asked people to indicate on a map where they currently live. Workshop participants came from locations around the Bay Area. Most participants were from Concord, in particular the area directly adjacent to the future regional park, and nearby cities or communities. SMALL GROUP ACTIVITY The small group activity included a map of the site with potential future trail and road alignments, use zones (areas with high suitability for more intensive park uses such as picnic areas and staging areas), and conservation areas (areas where recreational uses are less suitable due to higher resource sensitivity). The group was directed to annotate the map with additional features or note concerns with features shown, and to respond to the following five questions and prompts included on the map board: 1. Vision. Our vision for the future regional park is...
