Planning Corm. 1U,JUJ 2 9 1984 rov lle, CoMomi4 June 22, 1964 GDA Engineering 220 Grand Avenue Oroville, CA 95965 Dear Mr. Lenhardt, At your request on June 20, 1984 I conducted an archaeo- logical survey of 45.6 acres of land owned by Robert Vietti, APN 42-11-22. The property is located adjacent to the east side of Meridian Avenue and the north side of Kennedy Avenue, west of the City of CGhicot The property covers a portion of T22N, RIE, Ord Ferry Quadrangle, 7.5' series and the proposed project is to divide the property into four parcels. Prior to conducting the field survey Z consulted the archaeo- logical site record files maintained at California State University, Chico to determine -f any previously reoorded Cultural resources were located within the vicinity of the project area. No cultural resources had been previously recorded within the project vicinity. The property is ourrontly a level almond orchard with no structures within the property area. The ephemeral drainage channel shown on theiU.S.G.S. topographic map has been filled in by leveling for the orchard. mud Creek flows through the northwest corner of the property; a levee has been constructed along, the banks of the creek. My 1'nbpect on of' the property area involved a surface e;taminatior for materials or features indicative of prehistoric or ear:�,y historic activities. The survey was conducted by my walking linear transects along alternate rows within the orchard. Ground visibility was very goad. No mat-orials or features indicative of prehistoric or early historic activities were observed during my inspection of the propc:ty and it is recommended that archaeological clearance be granted for the proposed project t w -' ' JA,meu banning r �'Archaeol.og-y Consul.tan
