July 1, 198 Dr. Albert J. Hock 114 West 7th Avenue Chico, CA 95926 Dear Dr. Heckv At your request on Saturday, June 28, 1980 I conducted an archaeoiog cal reconnaissance of, approximately 2400 acres of Band owned by Ma G.N. Farms - APOi-19-017p 41-20-002,009`Oli, 040,051 and 41-23-008- The property is located adjacent to the south side of Shippee Roadt south of the intersection of Hwy 99 and Hwy 149 and covers all or portions of Sections 80 17, 18, 19, 20 and 29j T, 20 N.o R. B.o Shippee quad., 7.5' series- The proposed prefect is to divide the property into 56 loto, each a minimum of 40 acres in site. The property is fairly level with a slight northeast to south- west slope• Gold Run Creek 'flows through the northern half' of the property and is bounded by a green belt of riparian vegetation, the remainder of the property is open grassland: A small reservoir is located along Gold Run Creek and Gold Run Canal is .fed water from this sourcei Prior to my, reconnaissance of the property I consulted the archaeological site record files maintained at California State University, Chico to determine if any archaeological sites had been previously orded within the pi^operty areao No sites herd been recordeL ,Lor the property ares! or within the immediate Vicinity., The reconnaissanca of thug ;property was conducted by myself and Julia George, another archaeologist. Our reconnaissance of the property wascomplete in that all areas .considered likely.to contain materials of archaeological cr historical. sign ificahce were carefully examined,. The onlN? portion of the property considered to be archaeologically sensitive was the area adjacent to Gold Run since the aboriginal people a the area were known to travel into the valley during the sdpring to gather'seeds and this would be a likely place for their camps. No archaeological, or historical, sites were observed during o p property and if recommended thatarchae jlogicalclearance be granted for the�roperwty at -ea., r`y �v�rw �iap3 ince �`1 ou"rs . nvidarmanfai James\\ -'i Mennirig ,Archa,§ of ogy C onsu tont4ustf; ph 0 6) BOTANICAL, SURVEY OF SPRING VALLEY FARMS (AP NOS. 041-19-07;; 041-20-002, 041-20-009, 041-20-011,, 041-20-040, 041-20-051 ANIS 041,23- 008), SHIPPEE ROAD AND HIGHWAY 99, BUTTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, BETWEEN .TUNE 18 AND JUNE 221 1980f A. Habitat. This site exhibits two basic habitat types --Valley Grassland and riparian, The Valley Grassland, which occupies most of the site, consists of rolling low, hills and depressions dotted with numerous vernalpools, swales and ephemeral streams. The. Riparian habitat occurs alogiT +boa marg;ns of Gold,Run C,rgek which runs from east to west toward the north enc v:u vhe prope ty, and to a lesser extent along Gold Run Canal which originates at a dam across the creek and runs far approximately 3/4 mile in a we southwest direction through the heart of the s1ta Additional Riparian habitat occurs from the end of thecanal to the southwest corner of the property adjacent -to Highway 99. Here the canal water has been allowed to meander as a somewhat natural stream that has formed marshy areas. Large scale land -leveling was in progress toward the west central portion of the property during the dates of the survey-. A primitive access road presently ex- ists toward the northwest margin adjacent to Highway 99. This road runs east for less t1,ah a mile and then turns southeast near a smell bridge across the canal. The road runts out along a cental ridge. Another access diad of similar nature runs roughly' east from Shippee Road about 1/4 mile east o'! Highway 99 across the north- ern portion of the property. Major power lines extend across the broadest portion of the property from north northwest to south southeast. ,A concrete Ofoctural found- atiah is located in the west central part of the site, and a concrete .trough and basin -„ are located a few hundred feet to the northwest of the foundation. An old well is adjacent to both the foundation and to the troughs In addition to a perimeter fence there iiia o few subdividing fences, particularly in the 'vicinity of the creek" The area has been heavily grazed by cattle, and n6he of the numerous veriidl -;' enols has escaped obvious 'dis,turbando by them in of least the past year. Except for this type of disturbance, l.rowever, and those noted above, disruption of the ,habitats appea"r to have been minimal prior to the initiation of the land -level it t aperatia'ti , �riVarnnmo�t�p( f��vP�'vr ����. ^ WHO �itltltl f , e F 2. and farts Grassland-.

Robust sidalcea (Sidalcea robusta) has occurred in the area in the past. Two vernal pool species, downy meadow foam (Limnarilhes floccosa ssp, califcrnica)and wiry popcorn flouter (Pla ioEpthr s sti itatus occur in the vicinity. It is; trot possible to identify these two species at fill's time of the year. No really large vernal pools were observed and it is not known if such a pool has been eliminated by the current land -leveling operation. If Such a pool previously existed it potentially could have been the site of two more i species—Greene's orcutt grass (011cuttia greenei) and Hoover's spurgo (Euphorbia !_- hooveri).
