Joseph & Associates contracted with SWCA Environmental Consultants to undertake cultural resources documentary research and a pedestrian reconnaissance as part of the California Environmental Quality Act review process in anticipation of the Village Entrance project. The services entailed a literature review of the study area including a 1-mile radius around the property, a historic evaluation of the building, and a pedestrian reconnaissance to determine if cultural resources are visible on the surface. This report documents the results of the cultural resources study. Dates of Investigation: The cultural resources literature search was completed January 19, 2006, and the cultural resources pedestrian reconnaissance was completed March 2, 2006, by SWCA Archaeologist Stephen O’Neil. This report was completed in April 2006. The historic study by Jim Steely was performed during April 2006. Findings of the Investigation: The literature review at the South Central Coastal Information Center, located at California State University, Fullerton, revealed that 11 cultural resources are recorded within a 1-mile radius of the current study area. No prehistoric cultural resources were observed during the survey. The 1935 Laguna Beach Sewage Treatment Plant is a significant surviving public works facility from a community that greatly upgraded its infrastructure in the 1930s with New Deal assistance to accommodate projected growth. Recommendations: Despite its loss of original structure wings, the surviving building/structure is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historic Resources under Criteria A/1 and C/3; its planned incorporation into the Laguna Beach Village Entrance project will reduce any project impact to less than significant. Because of the potential for buried archaeological material to be located within the project area, it is recommended that a qualified archaeological monitor observe all future ground-disturbing activities in native soils. Disposition of Data: This report will be filed with the South Central Coastal Information Center, located at California State University, Fullerton; with the Christopher A. Joseph & Associates; and with SWCA Environmental Consultants. All field notes and records related to the current project are on file at the Orange County office of SWCA.

Joseph & Associates retained SWCA Environmental Consultants to conduct a cultural resources literature review and a cultural resources pedestrian reconnaissance of the Laguna Beach Village Entrance project area. Purpose: This study was completed under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Public Resources Code SS5024.1, Section 15064.5 of the Guidelines, and Sections 21083.2 and 21084.1 of the Statutes of CEQA were also used as the basic guidelines for the cultural resources study (Governor’s Office of Planning and Research 1998). Public Resources Code SS5024.1 requires evaluation of historical resources to determine their eligibility for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). The purposes of the register are to maintain listings of the state’s historical resources and to indicate which properties are to be protected from substantial adverse change (Office of Historic Preservation 1997). The criteria for listing resources on the California Register were expressly developed to be in accordance with previously established criteria developed for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). According to Section 15064.5(a)(3)(A–D) in the revised CEQA guidelines (Governor’s Office of Planning and Research 1998), a resource is considered historically significant if it meets at least one of the following criteria: A. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage; B. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; C. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or D. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. The format of this report follows Archaeological Resource Management Reports (ARMR): Recommended Contents and Format (Office of Historic Preservation 1990). Undertaking: The proposed project proposes a 218,625-square foot, five-level, 667-space public parking structure that would house some city offices, a community center, public restrooms, city employee restrooms and locker facilities, and some city corporate yard maintenance, storage rooms, and city vehicle parking. The entire structure would be built around the existing sewage lift station. Project Limits: The Laguna Beach Village Entrance project site is located in the city of Laguna Beach, Orange County, California. Laguna Beach is located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean with Laguna Niguel to the east, Newport Beach to the northwest, and Dana Point to the southeast. The Village Entrance project site is located on the east side of Forest Avenue where it intersects with Laguna Canyon Road. The project site is composed of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 641-241-06,

  • LWHC Once Upon Laguna Woods
    Once Upon Laguna Woods by Dean O. Dixon Once upon a time in a magical land there were fiery volcanos, roiling seas, and fearsome animals. Then came warriors, conquerors, banishment, empires, slaves, wars, pirates, corruption, bandits, posses, lynching, ghosts, invasion, exploitation, riches, scandal and, yes, even happily ever after. Fiction? No. These are true stories about the land right under your feet in and around Laguna Woods. So what did happen once upon Laguna Woods? Well, are you up for some time travel? The beloved natural vistas from Laguna Woods reflect decades of conservation efforts that preserved tens of thousands of pristine acres from any future human development. You get to enjoy this in perpetuity without it ever being disturbed. Woods End Wilderness Preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, Laguna Niguel Regional Park, and City of Irvine Open Space Preserve are contiguous in a synergistic display of your natural history. But what exactly do you see? Once Upon Laguna Woods February 27, 2016 page !2 of !60 Natural erosion has exposed up to 65 million years of rock strata laid down and compressed one layer atop another by eons of changes in the earth’s crust as influenced by climate, flora and fauna. Sand from deserts and beaches, mud from swamps and rivers, skeletons of sea and land creatures, recurrences of these, and still more are solidified and revealed like layers in a slice of cake for the delight of geologists and further study by anyone so inclined. Related tectonics further changed and are changing your area even today as the Atlantic Plate pushes the North American Plate westward into the Pacific Plate along that constant worry of yours, the San Andreas Fault.

  • Watershed Summaries
    Appendix A: Watershed Summaries Preface California’s watersheds supply water for drinking, recreation, industry, and farming and at the same time provide critical habitat for a wide variety of animal species. Conceptually, a watershed is any sloping surface that sheds water, such as a creek, lake, slough or estuary. In southern California, rapid population growth in watersheds has led to increased conflict between human users of natural resources, dramatic loss of native diversity, and a general decline in the health of ecosystems. California ranks second in the country in the number of listed endangered and threatened aquatic species. This Appendix is a “working” database that can be supplemented in the future. It provides a brief overview of information on the major hydrological units of the South Coast, and draws from the following primary sources: • The California Rivers Assessment (CARA) database (http://www.ice.ucdavis.edu/newcara) provides information on large-scale watershed and river basin statistics; • Information on the creeks and watersheds for the ESU of the endangered southern steelhead trout from the National Marine Fisheries Service (http://swr.ucsd.edu/hcd/SoCalDistrib.htm); • Watershed Plans from the Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB) that provide summaries of existing hydrological units for each subregion of the south coast (http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcbs/index.html); • General information on the ecology of the rivers and watersheds of the south coast described in California’s Rivers and Streams: Working

  • Southern Steelhead Populations Are in Danger of Extinction Within the Next 25-50 Years, Due to Anthropogenic and Environmental Impacts That Threaten Recovery
    SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA STEELHEAD Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus Critical Concern. Status Score = 1.9 out of 5.0. Southern steelhead populations are in danger of extinction within the next 25-50 years, due to anthropogenic and environmental impacts that threaten recovery. Since its listing as an Endangered Species in 1997, southern steelhead abundance remains precariously low. Description: Southern steelhead are similar to other steelhead and are distinguished primarily by genetic and physiological differences that reflect their evolutionary history. They also exhibit morphometric differences that distinguish them from other coastal steelhead in California such as longer, more streamlined bodies that facilitate passage more easily in Southern California’s characteristic low flow, flashy streams (Bajjaliya et al. 2014). Taxonomic Relationships: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) historically populated all coastal streams of Southern California with permanent flows, as either resident or anadromous trout, or both. Due to natural events such as fire and debris flows, and more recently due to anthropogenic forces such as urbanization and dam construction, many rainbow trout populations are isolated in remote headwaters of their native basins and exhibit a resident life history. In streams with access to the ocean, anadromous forms are present, which have a complex relationship with the resident forms (see Life History section). Southern California steelhead, or southern steelhead, is our informal name for the anadromous form of the formally designated Southern California Coast Steelhead Distinct Population Segment (DPS). Southern steelhead occurring below man-made or natural barriers were distinguished from resident trout in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing, and are under different jurisdictions for purposes of fisheries management although the two forms typically constitute one interbreeding population.

The headwaters are located in the La Panza range with the highest point at approximately 3600-feet. The confluence of San Juan Creek with the Estrella River occurs at Shandon. The dominant land use is agriculture. The San Juan Creek Valley is generally used most intensively for agriculture because of better soils and water availability. Irrigated production has increased during the last 10 years, particularly in vineyards and alfalfa. Dry farming and grazing operations encompass the rest of the agricultural uses. The riparian forest and a portion of the adjacent upland areas associated with the Estrella River and San Juan Creek in the vicinity of Shandon are important wildlife habitat, and serve as important corridors for wildlife movement. San Joaquin kit fox and Western burrowing owl occur in open grasslands. Another important wildlife movement corridor is located near the base of the hillside near the eastern edge of Shandon.
