Box 839 CHICO, CA 95927 PH/FAX (530)891-6153 N CELL (530) 570-3996 Thank you for your prompt review of the above Tentative Map Application. Please accept this letter as our response to your letter dated May 25, 2007 regarding the "incomplete" status the Tentative Parcel Map application. Mr. Harry Merlo and his associates (those having ownership in the property) have been in the process of working diligently with the Butte County Planning Department staff, Planning Commissioners, and Supervisors for several years in an attempt to arrive at a reasonable development plan for the 122 -acre site, and the adjoining 1478 -acres, which they also own. It goes without saying that they have expended a substantial sum of money, effort, and time in order to meet the conditions ,required by the various county departments. None of which by the way, have been unreasonable, or beyond expectations_ I doubt if you will encounter a more environmental friendly group than those I represent, including myself. 1. Conformance with Butte County Code Section 20-133 and Road Design Standard: The recently constructed road from Richardson Springs Road to Cohasset Road is intended to be an emergency access/egress road, not a road to be used on a frequent basis by those residing in the area. If home sites are developed in the northerly portion of the 1478 -acres adjacent to Cohasset Road, the road will be improved to serve these home sites, as required by the Public Works Department. If the majority of the land north of Richardson Springs Road is reserved as "open space", then there seems to be little reason to construct an "improved" -road between Richardson Springs Road and Cohasset Road. The 12 -foot wide gravel road, with turnouts, as per the Grading Permit #05-01 issued by the Butte County Planning Commission, will adequately serve as an emergency access/egress route, eliminating the dead-end category, and at the same time discouraging frequent usage by sightseers. - � � �� . ,- � � 1 � _ .� ` _ h i - ,� _ � _ .. �..

Agricultural Element Program 2.2 Buffer: We are also hereby requesting a variance for the 300 -foot buffer set back requirement as per the Agricultural Element Program, 2.2, which we understand precludes development within 300 -feet of GOL land use designations.

This report was previously subrdned to the Butte County Planning Commission inconjunction with the Tree Preservation Study, and was evaluated by staff prior to the issuance of the Grading Permit authorizing the construction of the roads throughout the site. We will soon be submitting an application for a pre -development conference min regards to development of the adjacent 1478 -acres. It is my understanding that it may be several more weeks before you will be able to finalize your review of the 122 -acre parcel map application #07-0010.

Roadwork will include grading and leveling with mechanical equipment, preparation of the roadbed corridor, and paving of approximately nine miles of roads. Roads are intended to provide driving access from Richardson Springs Road along the Mud Creek canyon in the center of the property and from the Cohasset Highway at the north end of the property. The property is located in. ' Butte County, in Township 23 North, Range 1 East, Section 24, and Township 23 North, Range 2 East, Sections 7, 8, 17, 18,119, 20, and 30 (Figures 1 and 2). �) Harry Merlo retained North Coast Resource Management (NCRM) to supervise and conduct cultural resources technical studies and to prepare recommendations in order to assist Mr. Merlo in meeting the mandates of the California Environmental Quality Act ' (CEQA). In accordance with CEQA Public Resources Code sections 5097, 21082, and 21083.2, the County of Butte Planning Department required a Phase One archaeological survey be performed on the proposed development area. More specifically, the purpose of a Phase One archaeological survey was to identify cultural resources found within the 1600 acreStudy Area. The resulting document seeks to practically fulfill the responsibilities of the Mr. Merlo under CEQA. 1 Fieldwork in was conducted two phases. The first phase occurred on July 19-23, 2005 and consisted of field inventory of the entire project area. The second phase occurred on August 17-22 and September 10-12 and consisted of site recording. A total of 43 person days were spent in the field surveying and recording cultural resources. Mr. Alex DeGeorgey, Archaeologist for Sentinel Archaeological Research, LLC served as Field Director and principal author of this report. His professional archaeological career spans 12 years with both public agencies and the private sector engaged in the management of cultural resources. He holds BA and MA degrees in Anthropology from Sonoma State University and California State University, Chico, respectively. Mr. DeGeorgey is a Register Professional Archaeologist (RPA#15225) and the meets the Secretary of Interiors standards as a qualified professional archaeologist. The following archaeological survey report presents the results of archaeological investigations undertaken within the Study Area boundaries. The report contains a review of archival research and summarizes the state of archaeological, ethnographic, and historical knowledge as currently understood for the Study Area. In addition to a description of field methods that were used, the results of the inventory program with site descriptions and preliminary resource evaluations, project and site maps, and pertinent appendices are included. � 1 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Ham Merlo Property Butte County, CA. 1 1 Figure 1.

The Study Area extends from the Cohasset Highway at its northern limits south and includes portions of Cohasset Ridge, adjoining tablelands, and the slopes down to Maple Bunch Branch of Mud Creek Canyon and the adjoining ridges and drainages south of Mud Creek. A considerable portion of the Study Area is situated within the Mud Creek Canyon and includes about 1.75 miles of the main channel of Mud Creek below Richardson Springs Resort. The Study Area extends north to the crest of Cohasset Ridge and south to the top of an unnamed ridge that defines the southern extent of the Mud Creek watershed. This area has been extensively used for cattle grazing and ranching for over the past 100 years. Livestock raised in this area principally consist of beef cattle. Tasks completed' as part of the cultural resource program included a records search and literature review: a mixed strategy archaeological survey of the entire Study Area (i.e., a systematic pedestrian survey with transect spacing ranging from 20 in intervals to greater than 40 in intervals); recordation of newly documented and previously recorded resources; and provisions of management recommendation for those sites deemed either unevaluated or eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR). This report follows the general guidelines set forth by the California Office of Historic Preservation for Archaeological Management Reports (1990). Included herein area a series of background discussion of the Merlo Property Area's environmental, ethnographic, prehistoric, and historic contexts. A brief summary of relevant research issues and citations are provided in the prehistoric background section. Field methods are reviewed followed by a discussion of survey results. The concluding sections present a summary of survey findings and management recommendations for identified resources. A series of appendices present site locations maps, and site and isolated record forms. 4 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Ham Merlo Property Butte County, CA. l 1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT The Project area is located within the lower foothill zone at the base of the northern Sierra Nevada Mountairis,'a tilted fault block approximate1y400 miles (640 km) long and 50 miles (80 km) wide and composed almost entirely of granitics. The lower foothill zone in Butte County. is characterized by a series of east -west trending ridges and canyons of the Pliocene Tuscan Formation. The Tuscan Formations consists of a volcanic mudflow situated on top of Cretaceous and Eocene sedimentary rocks (Macdonald 1966:66). These foothill canyon lands contain pyroclastic mudflows, which erode into cylindrical pinnacles and rock shelters capped by basalt. The soil in this zone is generally very shallow and rocky. The Mud Creek Canyon is a deep and comparatively wide canyon. The canyon is rugged in the upper reaches with flat top ridges forming tablelands. The bottomlands along Mud Creek are relatively flat compared to other portions of the project area. Cohasset Ridge is a major ridgeline descending from the upper portions of the Sierra Nevada through the lower foothills, and into the northern Sacramento Valley. The project area is characterized by two vegetation communities that include: (1) foothill woodland, and (2) chaparral. The majority of the Study Area along Mud Creek canyon and surrounding environs is typical of the foothill woodland, an extensive vegetation community composed of a mixture of drought -tolerant species. Vegetation is composed of an over story of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) and gray pine (Pinus saniniana) with an under story of grasses, forbes, manzanita, poison oak, and ceonothus. California Buckeye (Aesculus californica), redbud (Cercis occidentalis), and chokecherry were scattered on north -facing slopes, near rock overhangs, and sources of water. The foothill woodland appears as a park like community of relatively open terrain with oaks and gray pine dotting the landscape (Schoenherr 1992:94-98). The northern portions of the tableland along Cohasset Ridge are home to a shrub community known as chaparral. Chaparral grows on impoverished soils of the foothills zone. These species are drought tolerant and fire -adapted. The chaparral community includes Chamise (Adenostoma fasciulatum), several species of California Lilac (Ceanothus spp.), and two species of scrub oak (Quesrucs berberidifolia and Q. dumosa) Schoenherr 1992:98). Chaparral occurs as dense thick low-lying brush that forms large blocks and patches. This type of vegetation community is difficult to navigate and at times impenetrable. 5 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. I 1 CULTURAL CONTEXT Archaeological Context Through the efforts of a number of researchers (Kowta 1988: Riddel and Olsen 1968; and Ritter 1970) a five-part sequence has been developed for the foothill area of Butte County (Kowta 1988). The majority of our knowledge of local prehistory is derived from the work of Riddle and Olsen (1968) at Lake Oroville. Later„ Ritter (1970) refined the cultural sequence. William Dreyer completed his maters thesis on the prehistoric settlement strategies in the Chico area (1986) and Kristin Deal completed a thesis (1987) on the earlier excavations at the Cana Highway site (CA -BUT -288). In combination, these two studies have contributed to the archaeology of Butte County on both substantive and theoretical levels. Paleoindian Period (9000-6000 B. C) Traces of human occupation in California begin as early as the period 9000 to 6000 BC when small bands of hunters for the Great Basin entered the western slope of the Sierra Nevada presumably in pursuit of game. This was a time of increasing aridity when the climate was much cooler and wetter than today. Evidence of prehistoric occupation is scant consisting of a hand full of small sites with large fluted dart points. Archaeological evidence suggest that human populations were adapted to dwindling water resources. This pattern of increased aridity appeared to have diminished the abundance of large game and increased the abundance of marshland resources resulting from changed evaporation and drainage conditions. Early Archaic (6000-300 B. C.) This period is also refered to as the Milling Stone Horizon (Kowta 1988:58), a period characterized by a mixed subsistence focus, which included processing of hard shelled seeds. Hand stories and milling slabs are typically abundant elements of these assemblages. Increased reliance on seeds may be associated with greater sedentism. Hunting appears to be generalized and included many smaller game species. Projectile points associated with this period (e.g., Pinto and Northern Side Notch styles) closely mirror the distribution of Mountain sheep populations found in the eastern Siena Nevada (Kowta 1988:60). West of the Crest of the Siena projectile points associated with this period are wide -stem styles and closely match the distribution of Roosevelt Elk in California. This time period is presently undocumented in Butte County. Middle Archaic (3000 B.C.-A.D. 500) It is not until the Middle Archaic period that human occupation of the region appears well established and archaological sites dating to this time are common. South of Butte County in the Sierra Nevada mountains this period is termed the Martis Tradition (Zeier and Elston 1986). The Martis Tradition dates to about 2500 B.C.- A.D. 500 and represents an early adaptation to drier conditions where hunting was the main emphasis of subsistence activities. Sites tend to occur at higher elevations (2500-6000 feet) with a chipped stone tool assemblage cornposed almost entirely of basalt. Projectile points are generally leaf shaped, stemmed, or side notched. 6 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. } The first well-represented prehistoric occupations in the region occur at Lake Oroville in Plumas County. The Lake Oroville chronology was first presented in 1963 by Riddell and Olsen and later refined by Ritter (1970). The prehistoric period begins with the Mesilla j Complex (1000 B.C.-A.D. 1). The overall pattern bears may similarities with the Martis Tradition having similar projectile points and seed grinding tools. Although little is presently known about the settlement and subsistence of Mesilla Complex researchers have speculated that the settlement system most likely consisted of some variation of a �) seasonal round anchored into a semi-permanent winter village with seasonal camps and task specific use locations (Kowta 1988:96-7). Late Archaic /Emergent Period (A.D. 500-1850) ') This period is characterized by progressive population growth, resource intensification, and expansion of socio-political structures and cultural complexity. Permanent settlements are common, possibly influenced by acorn processing technology. Trade networks become well established and foreign items from throughout northern California traveled via these exchange networks. At Oroville, this period coincides with the Sweetwater Complex (A.D. 700-1500) and the Oroville Complex (A.D. 1500-1850) in ethnographic Konkow territory. Bedrock mortars, bone awls, small drills, arrow points, and coiled basketry are typical cultural markers of this period. Large house structures become common indicating permanent settlement systems were established. This period . ,) coincides with the Late Horizon in the Central Valley of California. Ethnographic Context The following summary of Konkow culture is based heavily on F.A. Riddell's comprehensive summary presented in the Handbook of North American Indians, Volume 8, (1978:370-386). Other primary sources of information on Konkow culture include Hill (1970), Kroeber (1925; 1932), Powers (1877), and Riddell (1968). Konkow languages are discussed in Shipely (1963). The project Study Area is situated within an area ethnographically occupied by the Konkow Indians (Riddell 1978:380). The Konkow are part of the Maiduan family of languages belonging to the Penutian language stock. The Konkow occupied a territory, which included a portion of the Sacramento Valley floor and a section of the Sierra foothill east of Chico and Oroville. The Konkow people derive their name from the anglicized native term ko'yomkawi "meadow land" (Hodge 1907-10:1:725). At the time 1 of Euro -American settlement in the Chico area, Mud Creek Canyon was inhabited by a number of village communities following a common lifestyle and speaking a relatively uniform language. No ethnographic villages are cited in the literature along Mud Creek and it is unclear as to which Native people claimed this territory. ' Settlement The Konkow divided themselves into several village communities, which served as the political organization. Each village community or tribelet was autonomous and consisted of a central village and several adjacent villages. The central village was always the most 7 ' A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. For the Konkow, salmon were especially important activity during the early spring and late fall. Salmon, steelhead trout, and eels were speared, caught with jigs, or trapped in nets or weirs. Smaller fish found in slow moving waters were sometimes poisoned with soap root pulp or caught in basket traps.

This headman served as advisor and spokesperson not a ruler and the separate villages constituting the tribelet were not bound to the headman's control. The headman was chosen with the assistance of a shaman through whom the spirits communicated with the people. The headman served as a military leader who led his men into battle and in peaceful contexts hosted feasts and ceremonial activities. Deer drives, fishing, and gathering activities were other activities that the headman supervised. Konkow settlements were typically located on small flats or ridges high above the deep canyons or on elevated spots near stream banks. Settlements among the Konkow appear to be larger and more numerous then their close mountain neighbors the Maidu. Maidu- speaking peoples made three major types of houses (Dixon 1905:168-175). The largest structure was a semi -subterranean, earth -covered lodge of substantial construction. Among the Konkow these structures were typically 20 to 40 in diameter, constructed over an excavated pit for feet deep, with up to 11 interior posts and cross bems over the main roof members which were covered with pine bark, pine needles, and earth. A central smoke hole in the roof served as an entrance and exit. There was an interior ladder, and a secondary draft hoe or entrance at ground level. The second type of structure used by the Konkow consisted of a smaller dwelling built over a shallow depression with a superstructure of poles, bark, and pine needles. Earth was banked up to a height of about a meter only, and the entry consisted of an opening or a slab of bark. Archaeological evidence suggest that this type of structure is older than the larger type previously described (Kowta 1988:14). The third type of structure was used during the warmer months. This open air structure consisted of a flat roof of leafy branches supported by upright poles. These were erected for shade near the winter house and at summer gathering places. Subsistence ' Like most of tribes of California, the foothill Konkow followed a yearly gathering cycle anchored into important subsistence resources and primary staples were large ungulates, acorns, and salmon. For all the Maidu-speaking groups, the acorn was the most important plant resource even though it required a significant labor investment to make it ready for consumption. Acorns were gathered in the fall. Three species of oak were preferred including the black oak, the canyon oak, and the interior live oak. Other important plants exploited for food include pine nuts, buckeye, wild nutmeg, various berries, roots, bulbs, and tubers. Roots and bulbs were dug out with an simple wooden digging stick and eaten raw, roasted, boiled, dried, and baked. For the Konkow, salmon were especially important activity during the early spring and late fall. Salmon, steelhead trout, and eels were speared, caught with jigs, or trapped in nets or weirs. Smaller fish found in slow moving waters were sometimes poisoned with soap root pulp or caught in basket traps.

Historic Context Ranching During the historic period, the Mud Creek area was initially used as rangeland for beef cattle'. From 1849 until the early 1860s cattle ranching was common, until a series of droughts in the early 1860s killed most of the cattle in California. Many ranches failed during this time while others adapted by introducing sheep onto the range. Sheep could survive on plant species that cattle avoided as well as produced wool, a commodity that drew high prices as a result of the civil war (Wentworth 948:208). Drought conditions significantly changed the proportions of certain livestock held by ranchers as well as forced ranchers to practice grazing at higher elevations during the dry summer months. Richardson Spring Resort Begun in the early 1900's, the Richardson Springs Resort was developed at the head of Mud Creek by the Richardson family. The natural springs became famous for its purported medicinal qualities and a focus of health improvement and recreation activities. The resort featured the healthful springs, mineral baths, two hotels, restaurant, and post office for guests. The first hotel was a modest wooden structure, which burned in the early 1920's. The replacement hotel was a large many storied structure constructed of brick. This brick building still stands today. Besides the hotel there were many cabins and small houses available for guests. The water from Richardson Springs was distilled, bottled and sold in clear glass soda bottles bearing the Richardson Springs name and icon. The icon of Richardson Springs was the famous Indian "Chief Healthwater", who lay by a pool drinking. The Chief Healthwater trademark was placed on just about everything including the resort furniture. Some of the logos are as small as 1/2" placed on bookends, milk crates, thermometers, etc. The largest icons were on billboards that were placed along local highways. As the allure of the "Healthful Mineral Baths" wore off in post war America, business began to fade. The Richardson Springs resort was sold in the 1960's to a Christen Church group. Today the resort is a Christian conference center known as the Springs of Living Water who operate the hotel and grounds as a retreat and summer camp. 9 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. - METHODS OF CULTURAL RESOURES STUDY The paragraphs that follow provide detailed descriptions of the records search results and expectations for cultural resources to be encountered within the Study Area. Archive Research A records search was conducted prior to the field investigations by staff at that California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), Northeast Information Center (NEIC), located on the campus of California State University, Chico. This request (I.C.#L05-1) was for location and information data on previous cultural resources ,> investigations (inventories, excavations, ect.) within the Study Area. The NEIC also searched their database files for known National Register of Historical Places (NRHP) (1988, Computer Listings 1986-700 by National Park Service), California Register of Historic Resources (1992), California Inventory of Historic Resources (1976), California Register of Historic Landmarks (1996), Directory of Properties in the Historic Property Data File for Butte County (255), Handbook of North American Indians, Vol. 8, California (1978), Historic Spots in California (1966), and Gold Districts of California (1970). Maps maintained at the NEIC indicate that over the past several years just two archaeological inventories have taken place in the Study Area. These investigations resulted in the identification and recordation of numerous prehistoric, historical, and ' Native American cultural sites within the Study Area. A total of 10 previously documented archaeological sites were on file with the NEIC. These include: two major village complexes, three smaller satellite villages or camps, three rock shelters, a bedrock ') mortar outcrop, and a historic water trough. Six of the prehistoric sites are listed on the National register of Historic Places (NR# 73000396) as part of the Mud Creek Canyon Archaeological District. Michael Boyton of California State University Chico nominated ') this district in 1973. Table 1. Summarizes the archaeological work that has been - completed in the Study Area. Table 2 presents the previously recorded cultural resources within the Study Area. A review of historic s oric USGS topographic maps and historic General Land Office (GLO) plat maps were consulted in order to aid in identification of unrecorded historic sites, which may be located within project boundaries. These resources revealed additional information on the number of buildings, old roads, and water conveyance systems. In addition ethnographic literate relevant to the Study Area were reviewed to identify ethnographic village locations. ti. 10 ' A Phase One.Archaeological Inventory of 1.600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA.

Major occupation sites, including primary and secondary villages, seasonally occupied camp or task specific sites, and rock shelters. Many of the sites tend to be located near sources of water including springs, seeps, and Mud Creek. Among the historic period resources expected to occur within the Study Area are sites related to transportation (road and trails); agricultural and ranching, farming, orchards, and farm buildings. Field Methods The survey crew for fieldwork included five to six archaeologists walking parallel transects. The field crew was composed of Alex DeGeorgey (Field Director) and five archaeological technicians including Risa Huetter, Mike Avifia,.Bill Leyva, and Tim Carpenter. A mixed strategy was implemented with transect spacing varying according to terrain, archaeological sensitivity, topography, ground visibility, and natural impediments to survey. Two types of survey coverage were used including: Complete coverage with transect spacing no greater than 20 meters apart, and Cursory coverage with transect spacing greater than 40 meters. Cursory coverage was reserved for those areas with impenetrable brush, steep dangerous cliffs, or low archaeological site potential. The survey crew sometimes used trowels to expose the soil when vegetation or dense duff precluded surface inspection. Livestock grazing also contributed greatly to ground surface disturbance in portions of the Study Area. Whenever possible, subsurface exposures caused by off-highway vehicle use, water erosion, rodent burrows, and deadfalls were closely inspected for evidence of buried cultural deposits. The entire project study area was surveyed with pedestrian coverage in the above-described manner. A total of 1600 acres were surveyed for cultural resources including 1195 acres receiving Complete coverage and 405 acres receiving Cursory coverage. Figure 3 presents the survey coverage intensities within the Study Area. All cultural resources encountered as a result of this investigation were formally recorded. Upon locating a cultural resource, site boundaries were identified through reconnaissance of the area with crewmembers spaced at five -meter intervals. Limited soil probing (with trowels) and duff removal was performed as appropriate during the recording stage in order to assess the presence of three or more associated artifacts and/or by a feature. Site boundaries were defined by the limits of the most peripheral features and/or artifact when no further archaeological remains were detected in an area 25 meters beyond them. 12 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. 2sc All cultural resources sites were recorded on Department of Parks and Recreation Primary forms (DPR 523A), Archaeological Site Record Forms (DPR 523B), and/or specific attachments (DPR 523C -L) as appropriate. All prehistoric and historical �) archaeological sites were photographed (digital images) and reproduced as JPEG images. At least two photographs were taken at each site depicting the overall site composition, relationship to environmental features, and site features and artifacts. A comprehensive photographic record was maintained for the entire project and records and photos are kept archived at the Northeast Information Center. A total of 337 photos were documented. Most of the artifacts were flagged in the field during recordation in order to assist with the determination of site boundaries. Diagnostic artifacts that were considered temporally �.) sensitive were illustrated and/or photographed and appropriate description and measurements were taken for each item. These artifacts were keyed to the permanent datum or GPSed, listed on the Artifact Record form (DPR 523H) and indicated on the Site Sketch Map. A Garmin 12 Channel handheld GPS receiver was used to record the physical location of all cultural resources. In addition, the location of all identified sites, structures, and isolates, were manually recorded by hand plotting on USGS 7.5' series quadrangle sheets. Isolated finds included artifacts (e.g., less than three flakes, a tool, a few cans, and/or historic debris) or features that were not associated with a larger archaeological site (e.g., bedrock milling stations). Feature maps were completed with a 100 meter cloth tape and handheld compass. Modern disturbances and modifications to the landscape were noted and plotted on USGS 7.5' quadrangle maps and/or aerial photos. Typical recent landscape features observed within the study area included roads, fences, buildings, and jeep trails. Analysis of site-specific data and artifact concentrations were made in the field. Tentative occupation time spans have been assigned for each prehistoric and historical sites where possible on the basis of overall site composition, artifact assemblage, diagnostic artifacts, and archival reference data. Projectile points were referenced according to primary characteristics similar to known forms in the region. Historical artifacts were dated by diagnostic manufacturing techniques, materials, or manufacture's maker marks. � 14 ' A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. .-rK%a-ii:::%:st�X&.'�' x % ..

Artifacts include some basalt flake stone debitage, large quantities of fire -affected rock, two basalt core tools, and a few obsidian flakes. This large site extends 100 meters north -south and 350 meters east -west, and includes a surface area of 35,000 square meters encompassing the entire terrace on the south side of Mud Creek. This site was originally recorded by in 1949 by A.R Piling as part of the University of California Archaeological Survey. Mr. Piling described the site as "a small occupation site with bedrock mortars and house pits". In the Summer of 1970, Queens College of New York and California State University Chico took part in a joint archaeological field school at CA -BUT -7. Test excavations were terminated at the site following an outbreak of Valley Fever (Coccidiomycosi 1 23 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. immitis). Sixty percent of the Queens College, Chico State field school personnel contracted Valley Fever while excavating. Subsequent State Health Department tests confirmed the presence of Coccidiomycosi immitis in the area. Since that time the entire area of Mud Creek canyon has been designated as an endemic area for the disease. Although no formal write-up of the fieldwork was completed the brief excavation indicated that the area had a continuous occupation dating from the Early Middle Horizon to the Phase Il period to the Late Horizon, approximately 2,000 YBP to the early Historic period in the Chico Area (Boyton 1973:5). In spring 1971 H.O. Bass completed site record update and the first site sketch map. This recordation provided a more complete narrative description of the site. Bass documented '1 17 house pit depressions, a pitted rock petroglyph, a rock shelter, and a large area ) between the creek and house pits that has " a lot of charcoal in it". Bass noted that a burial was found during the 1970 field school. In 1973, Michael Boyton of California State University Chico completed a National Register of Historic Places Inventory and Nomination Form for the Mud Creek Canyon Archaeological District. This district included approximately 970 acres and 19 prehistoric archeological sites located along Mud Creek including site CA -BUT -7. The district was approved by the State Office of Historic Preservation and added to the National Register that same year (NR# 73000396). In 1989, the Archaeological Research Program at California State University Chico was retained by A&E Engineering to conduct an archaeological reconnaissance for a proposed subdivision. The survey included 120 acres along the south side of Mud Creek and CA -BUT -7. The archaeological survey report by William Dreyer (1989) discussed the nature and extent of the site. No site record updated was completed. This site is situated on an alluvial terrace on the south side of Mud Creek. Richardson Springs road passes through the site. Cattle tramping in vicinity, construction of Richardson Springs Road, off highway vehicle use, a dirt road through part of the site, the 1970 archaeological test excavations by California State University Chico and Queens College, and presumed surface collection have all impacted the integrity of the site. The overall site integrity is considered very good and prehistoric structural features are still readily identifiable. ' The presence of a Pit and Groove etro 1 h Style 2 ) p gyp y (Payen 1966) is a western foothill elaboration of Style 1 dating to late Matris or Mesilla times with possible persistence into ethnographic times among Hokan-speakers (Kowta 1988:211). Test excavations by Chico State (1970) indicate that the deposit spans the Mesilla Complex 500 B.C.-A.D. 500 thru to the Oroville Complex A.D. 1600-1850 (Kowta 1988:150-4).

In accordance with CEQA, "a project.. that may cause a substantial adverse change in ,) the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment" (§15064.5[b]). A historical resource under CEQA consist of "any object, building, structure, site, area, place, recorded, or manuscript, which a lead agency ') determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California... Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be "historically significant" if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California ') Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). In summary, 19 cultural resources were recorded as a result of this investigation consisting of nine newly discovered and ten previously documented resources. Of these, 14 are prehistoric Native American, and five are historic Euro -American sites. ') Preliminary eligibility determinations area presented in this report but none of these resources have been formally evaluated for the National Register of Historic Places (§15064.5[a][3]). Any resource that is eligible for listing in the California Register must ') be given consideration under the CEQA process; adverse effects to the cultural resources eligible for listing on the California Register must be avoided or the effect must be mitigated. ') The significance criteria for archaeological and historical sites are defined efined rn the CRHR and area found in the CEQA guidelines (CRR § 15064.5). To be eligible to the California ') Register, a resource must be significant at the local, state, or national level in accordance with on or more of the following four evaluation criteria: '.) The CRI -IR (CA -OHP 1998) defines a significant historical resource as one which; - 1. Is associated with events contributing to the broad pattern of the state's history or culture; or ' 2. Is associated with historically important people; or 3. Embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or construction method, or represents the work of a creative individual; or ') 4. Has the potential for yielding important information on California's history or prehistory. ') While most historic buildings and many historical archaeological properties are significant because of their association with important event or people or their style of construction (CRHR Criteria 1, 2, and 3), the significant of most prehistoric and historical period archaeological properties is usually assessed under Criteria 4, for its information potential. This criterion stresses the important of the information contained in the archaeological site, rather than its intrinsic value as a surviving example of a type or its historical association with an important person or event. In addition to meeting one or more of the above criteria, a resource must be at least 50 years old and must posses j 1 32 A Phase One Archaeological Inventor/ of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. integrity, which is defined as" the authenticity of its historical resources physical identity evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the resources period of significance" (CA -OHP 199:2). Integrity is evaluated with regard to location, design, ') setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Resources that are significant, . meet the age guidelines, and posses integrity will generally be considered eligible for listing of the CRHR. Findings Summary ') Archaeological sites located with the study area represent a somewhat restricted range of past human activities. All site types encountered fell within the predicted range that'was based on the information available for archeological, historic, and ethnographic sources. ') The aboriginal sites (n=15); prehistorically residential locations including long/term year round (n=2) and presumed temporary/seasonal camps (n=5), and task specific resources procurement sites such milling stations (n=7). The historic Euro -American sites (n=4) include: an early wagon trail (n=1), ranching features such as stone corrals and rock walls (n=2), and a water conveyance feature (n=1). Preliminary interpretation of the site integrity and possible temporal and behavioral associations has been provided for all 19 cultural sites whenever possible. However, since surface evidence of integrity is often inconclusive, further investigations are necessary to evaluate the integrity and research potential of each site identified. All 19 cultural resources located within the Study Area boundaries are considered to posses some degree of integrity. Independent of natural process that may disturb the deposits, each site has been impacted by various degrees as the result of past ranching and farming, road building, cattle grazing, archaeological excavation, and presumed surface collection. The Study Area includes portions of the Mud Creek Canyon ) y Archaeological District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NR# 73000396). Properties that are listed on the National Register are automatically listed on the California Register of Historic Places. As a listed property any potential impacts to these resources should be completed avoided. Unanticipated Discoveries There is a strong possibility that archaeological deposits exist in the areas that received Cursory coverage but were not identified due to the presence of impenetrable brush. An ' archaeologist should be present to monitor any ground disturbing activities taking place in the northeast portion of the project along the top of Cohasset Ridge. If concentrations of prehistoric of historic -period materials are encountered during ground -disturbing work, it is recommend that all work within a 50 meter vicinity halt until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the finds and make recommendations concerning an appropriate course of action. Prehistoric materials might include debris; cultural darkened soil (midden) containing heat -affected rock, artifacts, shell fish remains, stone milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, and hand stones). Historical materials might include stone, concrete, adobe footings, walls, wells, privies, and trash scatters. 33 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property Butte County, CA. .....,.._.......,...__.,......_... «.:....::x.:,i'x.. rs' .'•_En_::.>^vxi�:::y n :...:n. , ?.^.fEedi"s:^.?<<Iaw? ... ..�:'!C'" ..F ""'�" ....... —*....}:..:.....,.._........_,........�......,.xxx-..: �n...v:..... a v7�c.�....,......n._._.........,.....e..:::xx:w.x:.:::.:isi:`.v.:•.!t.x::...._.....................•.�._�.::�°R::::'.n°'.l'v'�:✓if.:F: .�`i`.m� d. �T.�a..��� P There is also a strong possibility of encountering human skeletal remains in the study area. Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code states that it is a misdemeanor to knowingly disturb a human grave. If human graves are encountered, work should halt in the vicinity and the County Coroner should be notified immediately. At the same time, a qualified professional archaeologist should evaluate the situation. The coroner has two working days to .examine the human remains. If the remains are determined to be Native American, the Coroner has 24 hours to notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC will immediately notify the person it determines to be the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) of the deceased remains. The MLD has 24 hours to make recommendations for treatment and disposal of the remains. Given the fact that human skeletal remains have been identified at CA -BUT -7 this locale will hold special interest and significance to contemporary Native Americans. The responsible agency should consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) on ways to avoid any expected damages caused to area sites. 34 A Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Ham Merlo Property Butte County, CA. l 'EM: ....

They were encountered during your "Phase One Archaeological Inventory of 1600 Acres of the Harry Merlo Property." Nine of the sites were updates for resources already assigned state numbers. The records have been reviewed and the new sites have been assigned two state numbers, a Primary Number (the P 04 number) and a Trinomial Number (the CA -BUT number) or a Primary Number only. It is important to note that the State Trinomial numbering system is separate from the State Primary numbering system. A resource may be assigned a State Primary Number, but not be assigned a State Trinomial. The basis for assigning State Trinomials is related to the level of recordation submitted for a site.

Features (Number, briefly describe, indicate size, list associated cultural constituents, and show location of each feature on sketch map.): Features noted at this site include six loci of bedrock milling stations and a total of 47 individual mortar cups were recorded. Refer to individual feature sketches and milling station records for outcrop dimensions, bedrock type, number and type of milling surfaces, and measurements on individual mortar cups. *A5. Cultural Constituents (Describe and quantify artifacts, ecofacts, cultural residues, etc., not associated with features.): Artifacts include about 10 pieces of flake stone basalt debitage. A capricious lack of pestles and other associated milling equipment was noted at the site. The paucity of ground stone equipment associated with these bedrock mortar features may be indicative of past surface collection of artifacts in this area.. *A6.

Features (Number, briefly describe, indicate size, list associated cultural constituents, and show location of each feature on sketch map.): Features noted at this site consist of a historic wagon trail. Wagon ruts were noted cut into the exposed limestone bedrock of the Tuscan Formation. The ruts were spaced 5 feet apart, each rut was 11/4" wide and cut into the.rock 1/2 to 2" deep. Several exposures of the ruts were noted. The segment of trail through the project area measures about 1600 meters. These are described on the linear feature record. Isolate 36 may represent another segment of the wagon trail. *A5. Cultural Constituents (Describe and quantify artifacts, ecofacts, cultural residues, etc., not associated with features.): Artifacts include a iron band of metal 3" long (0603264me / 4412010mN) that appears to have been part of the metal band around the wagon wheel. Forged metal piece appearing similar to the shape of a horn probably was part of a wagon.

Features (Number, briefly describe, indicate size, list associated cultural constituents, and show location of each feature on sketch map.): Features noted at this site consist of a rock shelter with smoke stained roof and midden soil. The rock shelter is 80cm tall and extends back 155cm. The back part of the shelter is very low although smoke staining is present on the roof in the rear of the shelter. Midden soil is dark silky loam and is distributed throughout the interior of the shelter and along its aprin. *A5. Cultural Constituents (Describe and quantify artifacts, ecofacts, cultural residues, etc., not associated with features.): Artifacts include fire affected rock, river cobbles, a fresh water clam shell mitolis sp., three basalt cores, one large mammal bone, one burnt bird bone, and a basalt hand stone with polish on one surface.

Interpretations (Discuss data potential, function[s), ethnic affiliation, and other interpretations): Surface observations of the rock shelter and midden deposit suggest that the cultural deposit may be relatively deep and could reach depths of over 150cm. Smoke staining on the rear of the shelter is unusual considering the present low height at this part of the shelter. Soils within the rock shelter appear to have accumulated since the smoke staining in the rear of the shelter was created. A14. Remarks: This site appears to have important data sets and is likely a contributing property that should be added to the existing Mud Creek National Register District. This resource should be added to the Mud Creek National Register Listing. A15. References (Documents, informants, maps, and other references): A16. Photographs: See Attached photo log.
