2 Eravit�nme�atal An�lysif <br /> e) Co�flict wtth any local policles or ordinances protectirlg biological tesources, such as a <br /> tree preservatiari policy or ordinance? <br /> The proposed project would require removing one dead tree within the pxoject area. The contractor <br /> would comply with the guidelines contained in the Chapter 35 of the Redwood Cit�Code,and the <br /> impact would be less than significant. (Less than Sigtuficant Impact) <br /> fJ Con�1'ict with the provrs�ons afan adapted Hahttat Couservatiorl Plari, Natural Community <br /> Consetvatror2 Plan, or other approved local, regiolral, or state habitat corsservatiorl plan? <br /> The proposed project area is nat within anp Habita.t Conservarion Plan (USFWS,2013}. The <br /> pxoposed project would be approxixriately 025 miles away from the DESFBWR on Batr Island Road <br /> and wou�d not interfere with or have any adverse effect on the e�sting condirions or restoration <br /> efforts of the reserve. (No Impact) <br /> 2.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> Basin Research Associates,Inc. (Basin) conducted an archaeological and historical resource survey <br /> for the pxoposed project(see AppendiJ�E}. The Basin survey included a cultural reso�ces records <br /> search and limited review of pertinent literatuxe, consultation with the Native American Heritage <br /> Commission(NAHC),an archaeolog:ical field inventory to determine the presence or absence of <br /> significant historical (cultural} resources,and an evaluarion of resources in accoxdance with applicable <br /> laws and regulations <br /> The project area would be located within the tidal flats of the San Francisco Bay margin. Native <br /> American occupation and nse of tl�e general area appears to extend over 5000-7000 pears or more. <br /> Based on archaeological records and Spanish mission xecords,the project area was likely a primary <br /> settlement for Costianoan peoples within the &amaytush subdivision during the early 1700s of the <br /> Hispanic Exa. Extensive ethnographic data on the Costanoans are lacking since the aboriginal lifeway <br /> apparendy disappeared by 1810. Spanish explorers in the late 17bOs and 1770s wete the first <br /> Europeans to traverse the San Francisco Peninsula. During the Hispanic Period,Redwood Creek <br /> was known as los palos colorado.r after the abundant and notable redwood trees. Beginning in the mid- <br /> 19th cent�x.t.y,population growth,the American takeover,and the confitrnation of property titles led <br /> to the subdivision of most of the rancho and pueblo lands. The initial popularion expansion on the <br /> Penins�ala was assaciated with the Gold Aush, followed bp the constnicteon of�he ttanscontinental <br /> railroad and the development of a prosperous dairy industty.Aftex the discovery of Redwoods <br /> Landing in 1850,the natzual advantages of Redwood Cxeek and slough dorn.inated the region and <br /> facilitated regional and local growth. The US 101 highway was the first Ba�-Area highway to be <br /> opened for public use in 1947. In 1961,the US 1d1 highway had been realigned and Bair Island <br /> Road had been constnxcted along with Convention Way to the south of the freeway (Basin, 2013). <br /> Na tecorded prehistaric or historic archaeological resources have been pre�-iously recorded within or <br /> immediately adjacent to the propased project area of potential effect(APE�.
