The 41,8 -acre property is located one mile south Of Roster^ Road,
and Wayland Road, betweert Neal Goad and Clark Road, Muth! of
the Paradise Urban Area, The site oceaupies a portion of the
ridge that lies between Little Dry Creek canyon and Hamit'n canyon,
and includes a portion of Little Dry Creek canyon with Ljttle
Dry Creek forming the eastern pproperty boundary. Terrain is gentle
on the ridgeto'p and steep (30-N% slopes) within the eastern
canyon area . Approxi mately two thirds of the proff et,ty has exces-
sive slope (,grea.ter than 30%). Therefore, only tf�
tion of the site, consisting of gentle ridge -top land isrsupteble
for development,
The soil is very poor, consisting of a shallow soil layer on top,;'
of dissected remnants of lava, known as "scabland". The surfaca:
is strewn with numerous rocks, Because of the land's shallow
soil, rockiness, steep terrain '3n 'the eastern portions of the
property,•�and marginal soil char Iter, this �'scabland'" area has

for the area is 45-50 inches normally.
The ridge top land is composed of grassland and ver. sparse oot,.

no,rthern portion of the Messilla Valley, west of and adjacent., to �
Mess'il la Valley Road, north of the Tentz area.' The land is gently
rolling grassland generally with a few scattered oaks Wast of- D' y

Dear Tom !
On 23 April, 1981 X conducted a botanocal survey/habitat analysis of the subject
property as pet your instructions of 16 April, 1981. The purpose of this survey
was to assess the potential of the property to support a population of the !
rare and endangered Sidalcea robusta.
The rare,Sidaloea is associated with the low elevation Foothill 'Woodland plant i
community and is known i'rom a locality less then two miles from the Baker
property. An iatit l search of this property reveale, two areas which appeared I
to have the necessary liabitat requirements associated with Sidalcea robudtay !
the first is along the dry edges of the Riparian Woodland adjacent to Dry Creek
and the second is on the slopes of the hillside in the west one --half of the
Baker parcel. Because of the proximity of the previously mentioned known pop-
ulation,and the presence of Sidalcea robusta habitat on the subject property,
an on-site survey was conducted.
Although poteritielSidalcea robusta habitat is present on the pro ert no
p y
signs of this :rare species was found after conducting a systematic search ol`
both potertial habitats. Therefore, as a result of this survey l feel there
is no potential for advo:rse environmental impact to Sidalcea robusta if the
Proposed subdivision is approved, Tease feel, free to contact tie if there

IN`T'RODUCTION
in order to assess the archaeological impacts of a proposed sub-
division project involving approximately 75 acres of land located tidthin
Mesi,lla Valley, Butte Cotmty, California, the owner of the property
contracted for a records search and on -foot 4 econnaissance of they e4,, -
tire project parcel. Accordingly, on SuPday, May 10, 1951, the authors
coiiducted an intensive ,on -foot reconnassanco of the entire parcel.
The parcel, which As of med by urian Balder, includes portions
of the North 1/2 Of Section 24, Tomship 21N, Range 3E, M.D.t $ M.,
Butte County, ;California (see Project Location Map) . The 1•larlan
Ealcet projectW.1.1 involve subdivision of the 75 acres into a total
of four parcels 1 ich are intended for subsequeni sale and presuined
further subdivision and/or use as single family, residence development._
In light of the potential adverse impacts of e�Wntval road and dwelling
construction to cultural resources 'Rich might be located within the '
P , roamer,
arcels ilio, Dnvi tal Review Department of Butte County recommended
that cultural resources be considered in the environmental, impact report
prepared for the project,, and hence the need for the present archaeological
reconnaissance report.,

over, one small sediment-filled basin-:shaped trough cut by an inter-
mittent stream is located within the extreme western portion of the
parcel.
Vegetation within the eastern 2/3 of the parcel consists primarily
of relatively open grassland interspersed with oaks and digger pine.
Although this patternalso exists within the eastern portion, a dense;
understoi-y of brush, dominated by Ceanothus and manzani tz, is to
prominent feature of the vegetation within the eastern 1/3 of the
parcel. A short segment of. Dry Creek dissects the eastern portion
of the parcel, along which a riparian type vegetation W8s noted, xn-
cluding willow, blnckberr-, and California laurel.
Ethnographically the Marcel falls within territory which was
occupied by the Northwestern Maidu, or Xonkow Indians ClUddell 1978),
Although the ethnographic data available do not identify, particular
locales or sites of significance within the immediate project arca, the
ethnographic information in combination with the results obtained from
previous archaeological surveys within the region suggested that several
prehistoric site types might exist within the parcel, fading the
following: (1) aboriginal middens located along the tern ;e overlooking
Dry Creek or near springs which might be located within the area''
(7) aborigin -. surface scatters of basalt and obsidian flakes and
g� processing g
artifact"s � 3) abori an � food rocessan and mi.11in -stations, including
especially bedrock mortar sites; (4) aboriginally occupied rock shelters
Idt-ated along the margin of the prominent lava caps which exist within
the area; and (5) isolated finds of aboriginal lithic flakes and artifacts,:
Such sites have been recorded for similar terrain within the general
project 'vicibity and throughout Xonkow Indian territory generally

As noted, fieldwork for the present project was conducted on Sunday,
May 10, ;1381 The survey was initiated in the western halt of the parcel
and proceeded eastward; Field methodology involved walking north<-south
transects spaced approximately 20 meters ap1x•t. Although Some dense
stands of brush were .acountered within, the western portion of the parcel,
this vegetation did not prevent a. thorough examination ;of all of 'the
grot.md surface i..' uh:In the entire project area. 16dent middens, other
holes and cutbanks were examined f()r any elddence of sub-s'urtace culturaj-
materials. Some ground cover modifications ii). iohring removal of surfac(
vegetation were also necessary in order to apose the ground surface,

complete recording of the site,'a site which has as a result of being
recorded yielded all of its information quanta, archaeological clearance
in, relation to the proposed subdivision project is recommended.
Site CA-WIN,308i As noted above; this site was prev,�,--)usly recorded

of fieldwork failed. to 'reveal any ;evidence of aboriginal occupation, except,
for the mortar on the east ^ide of the Creek recorded as H. Baker 02.
Archaeological clearance is therefore recommended, and the California
Archaeological Site Survey at Chico shall be notified that existing
maps have incorrectly located site CA -MT -305.

S'ION OF, ' Elty ONMEN AL

.1
This proposal is a land division of 76.5 acres to create four parcels.
ThOl%parcels will range in s' a from 17.3 acres to 21.7 acres.
The topography varies considerably on the property. The western;
portion consists of lava bl ul fs with slopes from 26.60%. Vie
eastedequat building Dry
c e(ik Road is over p3C`. ,in places. 'Thre
eastern portion near Dry Cr
area in the central rotiu,n of the property
where the slopes are 5 to 15ji; the best potent7al sites are on the
west side of Dry Creek. Tho vegetation consists mainly of annual
grasses and a scattered grov�th of valley �saks. Theca plantsspecies
also ciccur on the propetty (some as riparian habitat); star thistle,
nettles, cottonwoods, white alder, w(,stern sycamore, creek dogwood,
& blackberry vires. The surrounding land uses arrO, rural residential
on large parcels, grazing for sheep & oCier livestock, and open land.
1 (a): The liquefaction potential may be locally high along thee stream
Ghan-")e1. The 100 foot setback f9om the Mghwater line required for
leach field areas should also be observed as a minimum separation
distance for buildings to mitigate a potential problem.
1 W : The dr i vee+ay access for parcel 1 and maybeparcel 2 wi 11
require some §rading which may be significaht. bUilding sites are
available which will require little or no grading, Common creek
crossings should be installed to reduce the disturbance of the
riparian, Nabi tat,
1 �(,e): There is a high erosion potential. Some gU'l,l.yl-hgr'and et"Oision
is evident on the site and on Dry Creek Road, Rai 'r,fail is 35-400,1 per
year i`n this area. The soils are o-imariiy scab land.; these soils
consi'tt of remnants of lava flow with a shallow soil depth and stony
surface, of andesites and basalts. Mariposa stony loan! and Honcut
sandy loam occur in the area along Dry Creek and east to Dry Cra4k
Rnad«
I (g); An inferred fault traverses 'this area from the northwest to
the southeast. A modgvate landslidd risk is noted.
2 (a)s The dust from 'vehicular traffic: on Dry Creek Road 1s presently
a pro'bl em► The road has been graded in the, past, but iids little gravel
on tide surface
3 (b) i
Dry Creek is the natural dra page sys, tent on the site. Thi,re
is water 'Flowing in Dry Greek now. The roofs' and sto.tm drains fiti.the
r\
- I
future houses along with the pla,oement po imoervious surfaoas will
increase the runoff and also increase the potential for i'urther erosion.

3 `g) : The, proposed source of water is listed as springs. (dime
54ddie Water )istrict) on theparcel map application. Ind'ividua1
wells are l i {ce ly to be the water source wnti 1 such time that fund-
ing is available to fully operate the water district. Wells i,n this
area are not very productive as a rule, An adequate water sO;ply
should be proven for domestic purposes; A water stbrage tank may b:
neces nary for fire protection.
4 (a): Little vegetation other than annual
grasses, star thistles,
and nettles will likely be removed. The land has a low value for grazing
ani' `las a limited potenti a;l for agriculture.
a (d): The habitat for woodpeckers, squirrels, rabbits, songbirds,
and other sppecie: will be affected and reduced to a degree. The
riparian an habi tat should be
p preserved.
$: The Butte County General Plan shows this area as grazing- e
open land, 1-5 acres/DU. The zoning is 'A-2
11,12: The proposal hips the potential to encnurag(e growth in the
area. The property could be further split ander the _A-2 zoning and
result in Significant impacts upcln this area. The ,potential c',,"tmula�il
tive effects can be mitigated to an extent by a large' lot zoAtho
Which Would maintain large lot sires and reduce the gwowth inducing
effect on adjacent parcels. A zoning with at least a 10 acre Mini
mum lot size is recommehded ,n ejrder to maintain the ;ieniity of the
area and to provent extensive: ;parceling. The provision of public
services, utilities, improved, access and other amenities to this
site will allow potential revidential growth to occur more readily.
{
