At such times, any drainage into the ,creel; would contain relatively higher concentrations of pollutants. 4a,c Some loss of vegetation and pasture would occur due to con- struction of the project.

Olive highway and, Wyandotte Miner Ranch Road, east of. Oroville. The property lies Di the SW4 of Section 18, T 19 Iv., R. 5 F►, Oroville Dam Quadrangle, 7.5' series and the pr6posed project is to divide the property into three parcels. Prior to conducting an archaeological survey of the proporty area 1 consulted the archaeological site record files maintained at California State University, Chio'o to determine if any previously recorded cultural resources were located within, or adjacent vo, the property boundaries. These records did not indica�te any previously recorded cultural resourdeS within this Vicinity. The property area i � �f �nerally level with a low hill in the north portion and afl iAtermitt.int drainage in the cent.,al portion. The property is covE'+, ,od by an oak -grassland type of vegetation with riparian ve;etatior along the drainage One residence is currently located in the north portion. of the property. The field survey was conducted i.,y walking linear transects With a fifteen meter interval spacing over the entire ground surface of the property area. The focus of the survey was a visual inspeotion of the ground surface for materials or features indicative of prehistoric or early historic activities. No materials or features adioative of early historic or prehistoric activities were observed. it is therefore recommended that archaeological clearance be granted for the proposed project area. hoerG y yours amen P.
