As a result of both federal and City permitting requirements, the Parcel No. 360-130-003 Project (Project) must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) is the lead agency for Section 106 compliance and the City of Menifee is the Lead Agency for the purposes of CEQA. To determine whether the proposed Project would affect historic properties or historical resources, Applied EarthWorks, Inc. (Æ) conducted a cultural resource assessment of the approximately 43- acre (ac) Project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE). 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 objectives of the Inland Feeder Project are to provide a six-month water supply within the greater Los Angeles basin in case a catastrophic earthquake impairs the ability to move northern California water across the San Andreas fault zone into the Los Angeles basin. An additional objective of the Inland Feeder Project is to improve water quality compared to water from the Colorado River aqueduct. The two Arrowhead tunnels total approximately 9 miles in length stretching from City Creek on the south to Devil Canyon on the west on the lower slope of the San Bernardino Mountain Front Country. Tunnel construction can inadvertently ―leak‖ water from groundwater aquifers into the tunnel as the tunnel boring machines advance through the mountain. This groundwater would potentially have linked to the ground surface to provide source water to springs and streams.

The City proposes to develop a specific plan for transit-oriented development and multi-modal connections to transit for a 17-acre area just south of Claremont Village. Applied EarthWorks, Inc.

This report summarizes the methods and results of the cultural resource investigation of the 17- acre proposed Project area. This assessment included archaeological and historical background research, communication with Native American tribal representatives, and a reconnaissance- level site visit of the Project area. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the potential for the proposed Project to impact historical resources under CEQA.
