State of California Transportation Agency Department of Transportation HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY REPORT 1. UNDERTAKING DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION Federal Project. Number. District County (Prefix, Agency Code, Project No.) Location 12 ORA BRLS 5063 (184) Santa Ana, California The environmental review, consultation, and any other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by Caltrans pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated December 23, 2016, and executed by FHWA and Caltrans. The studies for this undertaking were carried out in a manner consistent with Caltrans’ regulatory responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR Part 800) and pursuant to the January 2014 First Amended Programmatic Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106 PA), as well as under Public Resources Code 5024 and pursuant to the January 2015 Memorandum of Understanding Between the California Department of Transportation and the California State Historic Preservation Office Regarding Compliance with Public Resources Code Section 5024 and Governor’s Executive Order W-26-92 (5024 MOU) as applicable. Project Description: The City of Santa Ana (City), in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 12, proposes to widen Fairview Street between 9th Street and 16th Street, including replacing the Fairview Street Bridge over the Santa Ana River in Santa Ana, California. The proposed Project would widen Fairview Street from two lanes in each direction to three lanes in each direction. Fairview Street bridge would be replaced with a new six-lane bridge (three lanes in each direction), including a complete bridge deck with barrier rails, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, a raised median, and lighting. The proposed bridge would have the same roadway profile as the existing bridge. The existing four-lane bridge is the only constraint in the Project Area for Fairview Street to be built out to its master-planned width of six lanes. Fairview Street is designated as a six-lane Major Arterial, as shown in the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways and the City’s General Plan Circulation Element. For further details of the project, please see the attached Archaeological Survey Report (ASR; Attachment D). 2. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS In accordance with Section 106 PA Stipulation VIII.A, the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project was established in consultation with Jonathan Wright, PQS Lead Archaeological Surveyor, and Tifini Tran, District 12 Local Assistance Engineer, on June 20, 2019. The APE map is in this Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) as Attachment A, Map 3. The 11.93-acre APE was established as the area encompassing all places in which the project has the potential to directly or indirectly affect historic properties if any such properties exist. The vertical APE within the APE will extend to a maximum depth of 15 feet for bridge abutments. 3. CONSULTING PARTIES / PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ☒ Native American Heritage Commission In a letter dated February 12, 2018, Gayle Totton of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) responded to a February 9, 2018, request for a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search. Ms. Totton advised that the results of the search were negative for Native American cultural resources in the project APE but recommended contacting 23 individuals representing the Gabrielino, Juaneño, Kitanemuk, Kumeyaay, Serrano, and Tataviam groups who may have knowledge of cultural resources in or close to the project APE.

    Geomorphic Setting

    DRAFT NCCP/MSAA/HCP CHAPTER 3: EXISTING BIOLOGICAL AND HYDROLOGIC/ GEOMORPHIC SETTING This Chapter describes the biological setting of the approximately 131,600-acre Southern NCCP/MSAA/HCP study area, including portions of the CNF (Figure 3-M). Within the study area, the approximately 91,660 acres of non-federal land defines the planning area for the NCCP/MSAA/HCP. Management of resources in the CNF is the responsibility of the USFS. Therefore, the description of the biological and hydrologic/geomorphic setting includes a general description of the CNF, but the main focus of this section is the 91,660-acre planning area. The 91,660-acre planning area is further subdivided into the four Subarea Plan areas described in Chapter 1 (Figure 3-M). The Subareas total approximately 86,339 acres. The remaining 5,321 acres are comprised on the cities of Lake Forest and Dana Point, and internal areas that are “not a part” of the Subareas, such as Ladera Ranch, Las Flores, the wastewater treatment plant in lower Chiquita, Tesoro High School, FTC-North, and the Nichols Institute bounded by Caspers Wilderness Park. To describe the biological setting of the NCCP/MSAA/HCP planning area, this Chapter includes the following sections: Section 3.1 Database development methods; Section 3.2 Vegetation communities that make up theplanning area and the key wildlife species that are typical of, or indicate, high quality vegetation communities; Section 3.3 Existing geomorphic and hydrologic conditions and processes; Section 3.4 Sensitive wildlife and plant species distribution in the planning areaand subarea plan areas; and Section 3.5 Regional and subregional wildlife habitat linkages.

(Photo credit: American Red Cross) Opposite Page: Painting of Harris Fire by Kate Dore, based on photo by Wes Schultz. 2 Introductory Statement In October of 2007, a series of large wildfires ignited and burned hundreds of thousands of acres in Southern California. The fires displaced nearly one million residents, destroyed thousands of homes, and sadly took the lives of 10 people. Shortly after the fire siege began, a team was commissioned by CAL FIRE, the U.S. Forest Service and OES to gather data and measure the response from the numerous fire agencies involved. This report is the result of the team’s efforts and is based upon the best available information and all known facts that have been accumulated. In addition to outlining the fire conditions leading up to the 2007 siege, this report presents statistics —including availability of firefighting resources, acreage engaged, and weather conditions—alongside the strategies that were employed by fire commanders to create a complete day-by-day account of the firefighting effort. The ability to protect the lives, property, and natural resources of the residents of California is contingent upon the strength of cooperation and coordination among federal, state and local firefighting agencies.

    CAL FIRE NEWS RELEASE California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection CONTACT: Duty Information Officer RELEASE October 20, (916) 651-FIRE (3473) DATE: 2017 @CALFIRE_PIO CAL FIRE Mobilizing for Santa Ana Winds SACRAMENTO – After one of the deadliest and most destructive weeks in California’s history, firefighters are preparing for another significant wind event in Southern California. The National Weather service has issued several Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches across Southern California starting this weekend through early next week due to gusty winds, low humidity and high temperatures. In response to these anticipated conditions, CAL FIRE is increasing its staffing levels with additional firefighters, fire engines, fire crews, and aircraft to respond to any new wildfires. “This is traditionally the time of year when we see these strong Santa Ana winds,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, director of CAL FIRE. “and with an increased risk for wildfires, our firefighters are ready. Not only do we have state, federal and local fire resources, but we have additional military aircraft on the ready. Firefighters from other states, as well as Australia, are here and ready to help in case a new wildfire ignites.” The weather warnings stretch from Santa Barbara, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties. The winds are expected to reach gusts of up to 50 mph, along with record breaking heat, fire danger in these areas is high. It is vital that the public use caution when outside and avoid activities that may spark a new fire. Any new fires can spread rapidly under these types of weather conditions.

  • Categorization of Santa Ana Winds with Respect to Large Fire Potential

    Categorization of Santa Ana Winds with Respect to Large Fire Potential

    Categorization of Santa Ana Winds With Respect To Large Fire Potential Tom Rolinski1, Brian D’Agostino2, and Steve Vanderburg2 1US Forest Service, Riverside, California. 2San Diego Gas and Electric, San Diego, California. ABSTRACT Santa Ana winds, common to southern California during the fall through early spring, are a type of katabatic wind that originates from a direction generally ranging from 360°/0° to 100° and is usually accompanied by very low humidity. Since fuel conditions tend to be driest from late September through the middle of November, Santa Ana winds occurring during this time have the greatest potential to produce large, devastating fires when an ignition occurs. Such catastrophic fires occurred in 1993, 2003, 2007, and 2008. Because of the destructive nature of such fires, there has been a growing desire to categorize Santa Ana wind events in much the same way that tropical cyclones and tornadoes have been categorized. The Offshore Flow Severity Index (OFSI), previously developed by Predictive Services, is an attempt to categorize such events with respect to large fire potential, specifically the potential for new ignitions to reach or exceed 100 ha based on breakpoints of surface wind speed and humidity. More recently, Predictive Services has collaborated with meteorologists from the San Diego Gas and Electric utility to develop a new methodology that addresses flaws inherent in the initial index. Specific methods for improving spatial coverage and the effects of fuel moisture have been employed. High resolution reanalysis data from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model generated by the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at UCLA is being used to redefine the OFSI.

FONTANA, Calif. (KABC) -- Dangerous Santa Ana winds are whipping through the Southland, bringing increased fire danger and causing hazardous driving conditions as thousands are under the threat of having their power shut off. Southern California on Tuesday will be hit with the trifecta of increased winds, low relative humidity and low moisture, prompting firefighters to be on alert. A huge area is affected - from Santa Clarita to the high country, from the Los Angeles basin to the Santa Monica Mountains and all the way to the coast. In the highest elevations, gusts could reach up to 90 mph. Those gusts posed a challenge for some drivers in Fontana Tuesday morning, where at least five big rigs flipped over near the 15 and 210 freeway interchange. Nobody was hurt, but several other drivers stopped on the side of the freeway to wait for the strong gusts to subside.
