FROM:. RONALD L: DeCARLI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: URBAN & REGIONAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (STP),
STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT (SHA); TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT
ACTIVITIES,(TEA) PROGRAM; & TRANSIT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT (TCI)
PROGRAM FUNDING APPLICATIONS
This memorandum is a follow -up of a recent announcement of the extended application deadline to
notify all jurisdictions of the application details necessary to be addressed in order to receive funding
from the following sources:
A. Additional Surface Transportation Program (STP) /State Highway Account (SHA) funds from the
current ISTEA for regionally significant projects in FY 96197;
B. Urban Area & Regional STP/SHA funds expected to be allocated to the region after enactment
of the next ISTEA in FY 97/98,
C. Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) program for projects to be funded in FY 96/97.
D. Transit Capital Improvement (TCI) program for projects to be funded in FY 96197.
SLOCOG staff will be contacting the City Managers, Public Works Directors, and Community
Development Directors to arrange a meeting between in each jurisdiction September 11th and
26th to discuss the.specifics of each funding opportunity. Attached with this memorandum are
descriptions of the allowable uses of both STP and SHA funds, including the project prioritization
process for regionally significant.projects, and an application form to be used to describe all projects
proposed for funding. Applications for all funding categories, including STP, SHA, TEA & TCI must
be received by the Council of Governments by Monday, October 2, 1995.
r
A. Regional STP /SHA funding - SLOCOG staff recently recalculated the amount of funds
estimated to be received over the entire six years of ISTEA based on the amounts received in the
first four years. It is projected that an additional $500,000 of funding for regionally significant projects
will be available in FY 1996197 for programming. If your jurisdiction does not have a project ready
to construct in this time frame you may want to consider applying for funding to prepare a needed
Project Study Report (PSR) and /or design that will be a necessary step in constructing the project
during the next funding cycle. For more information call Mike Harmon at 781 -5724.
B. Urban & Regional STP /SHA funding - SLOCOG staff are also calling for applications for the
use of $1.35 million STP /SHA funds expected to be available in the first year of the next surface
transportation act in FY 97/98. This is necessary to conform to Federal requirements for preparation
of the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). Of the total funding projected to be
available in FY 97198, $715,042 will be reserved, per Federal requirements, for applications by the
County for projects in unincorporated urban areas and by the cities based on the population of the
applicable areas in 1990 (funding targets are included in attachment A).

1150 Osos St. Suite 202, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 ♦ Tel. (805) 781 -4219 ♦ Fax. (805) 781 -5703
The remaining $634,958 is to be reserved for regionally significant projects throughout the region.
The County of San Luis Obispo will continue to ieceive $478,000 as its direct allocation from the
State per Federal law for projects not covered by this project prioritization process. For more
information call Mike Harmon at 781-5724.
C. Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) Funding - As was previously announced, the
San Luis Obispo region has a bid target of $1 million for project applications through the TEA
program in FY 96197. We expect to receive approximately $400,000 to $500,000. The projects
types which may receive funding are as follows:
1. Pedestrian and bicycle paths and facilities
2. Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites
3. Scenic or historic highway related programs
4. Landscaping and other scenic area beautification
5. Rehabilitation of historic transportation facilities
6. Preservation of historic sites and railway corridors for trails
7. Control and removal of outdoor advertising
8. Planning and research related to archaeological sites
The minimum project funding request for a project is $100,000. The amount of funding actually
approved by the CTC for projects in the region will depend on the competitiveness of the
applications in meeting the scoring priorities, which are as follows:
1. Extent to which the project provides a regional and community enhancement
2. Overall cost effectiveness of the project and how reasonable the cost is
3. How well the proposal meets project specific performance
The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has made it clear that while a wide range of project
types are eligible, there will be a focus on projects that provide a direct transportation benefit. For
more information and application forms, contact Richard Murphy at 781 -5754.
D. Transit. Capital Improvement (TCI) Funding - The San Luis Obispo region is guaranteed a
County Minimum of $130,000 for projects to be funded in FY 96/87 based on a total of $30 million
in funding being made available statewide from the Transportation Planning & Development (TP &D)
Account. In past years the region has been granted approval for projects totaling from 150% to
200% of the County Minimum. SLOCOG staff intend, therefore, to request funding at a level higher
that the County Minimum, based on the competitive strength of the applications. TCI program funds
may be used for any of the following project types:
1. Railroad right -of -way acquisition
2. Bus rehabilitation
3. Exclusive public mass transit guideway and rolling stock
4. Railroad grade separations
5. Intermodal transfer stations
6. Ferry vessels and terminals
7. Short line railroad rehabilitation
The SLOCOG staff project programming priorities are as follows:
1. Under funded intercity rail projects to expand passenger rail services
2. Bus and rail coach rehabilitation projects
3. Construction of intermodal stations
All projects other than for intercity passenger rail service require a 50% local match. Feasibility and
planning studies require a 75% local match. For applications and other information on the State
project submittal threshold and ranking criteria, call Peter Rodgers at 781 -5712.

Attachment A
STP /SHA PROJECT SELECTION.& PRIORITIZATION PROCESS
Draft amended August 16, 1995
A. Project Threshold Requirements - Projects submitted by a city or the county for urban or
regional STP or SHA funding per the revised funding targets shall be recommended for
approval as long as they meet the following minimum threshold requirements:
1. Projects using SHA funding must be consistent with the requirements of Article XIX of
the State Constitution, and all projects using STP funds must be consistent with the
requirements of Section 133 of ISTEA, as detailed below.
2. Projects must be consistent with the adopted 1994 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP
and the Congestion Management Plan (CMP), including the seven -year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
3. Project submittals must be included in local plans or be approved by the governing
board of that jurisdiction on or before the November 8, 1995 SLOCOG meeting, with such
approval including certification that the funds will be experided within 24 months of the
SLOCOG action.
B. Urban Area and Regional Project Nomination - The project nomination process for the use
of the additional State Highway Account (SHA) funds projected to be received in exchange for
STP funds in Fiscal Years 95/96 & 96/97 of ISTEA, urban area and regional funds estimated
to be received in first year of the next Surface Transportation Act in FY 97/98, and STP funds
not exchanged, is as follows:
1. Local jurisdictions may submit a request(s) for the additional regional funding estimated to
be available in FY 96/97 and for the amount projected to be available in FY 97/98. Each city
and the county may also submit a : request(s) for urban area funding allocated to that
jurisdiction for the first year of the next surface transportation act in FY 97/98.
2. The funding request(s) shall consist of a map showing the location of the proposed project
together with a written description of the project including the estimated cost breakdown and
project justification.
3. Since it is possible that one or more jurisdictions do not have a project in an urban area in
FY 97198 or that the allocated funding is not adequate to complete a project, these
jurisdictions may defer project programming and allow other jurisdictions to program projects
in excess of their allocation (subject to an agreement between the affected jurisdictions).
4. Urban.Area Funding Allocation Targets for FY 97/98:
Arroyo Grande $63,435
Grover Beach
$51,429
Paso Robles
$81,993
San Luis Obispo City
$185,128
Los Osos urban

C. , Regional Project Prioritization - Projects submitted by a city or the county to be funded
from the additional projected STP /SHA funds to the region shall be prioritized by staff and
given up to 100 points based on the following criteria:
1. Up to 1.5 points when addressing a safety problem of regional significance.
3
J
2. Up to 15 points based on the demonstrated need for the project.
3. Up to 15 points when addressing a regionally significant multimodal or interconnectivity
related transportation need.
4. Up to 15 points when mitigating a regionally significant congestion or air quality problem.
5. Up to 15 points based on the demonstrated cost effectiveness of the project.
6. Up to 15 points based on whether the project enhances or increases the equitable
distribution of funding throughout the region.
7. Up to 10 points based on the funding contribution provided by the local jurisdiction.
B. Up to 10 points for planning studies needed to develop policies, standards, guidelines
addressing livable communities and intermodal access; including project study reports and
project alternative analysis reports to scope and define project alternatives for subsequent
programming.
D. ELIGIBLE SHA & STP PROJECTS
1. Use of SHA Funds - Projects to be funded with State Highway Account (SHA) must be
consistent with Article XIX of the State Constitution, for purposes related to public streets and
highways and public mass transit guideways, as follows:
a) The research, planning, construction, improvement, maintenance, and operation of
public streets and highways (and their related public facilities for nonmotorized
traffic), including the mitigation of their environmental effects, the payment for
property taken or damaged for such purposes, and the administrative costs
necessarily incurred in the foregoing purposes.
b) The research, planning, construction, and improvement of exclusive public mass
transit guideways (and their related fixed facilities), including the mitigation of their
environmental effects, the payment for property taken or damaged for such purposes,
the administrative costs necessarily incurred in the foregoing purposes, and for the
maintenance of the structures and the immediate right -of -way for the public mass
transit guideways, but excluding the maintenance and operating costs for mass
transit power systems and mass transit passenger facilities, vehicles, equipment and
services.
A "mass transit guideway" is interpreted to be: a channel, slot or track in which a
common carrier vehicle is fitted or linked so that its line of motion is controlled. No
other type of mass transit would qualify for the expenditure of gas tax monies. Based
on this restriction, jurisdictions in the San Luis Obispo region would not be able to
use the SHA funds for public transit improvements (including the purchase of buses,
etc). Bikelanes would still be able to be funded, since they are, related public facilities
for nonmotorized traffic.
2. Use of STP Funds - Projects that may be carried out with Surface Transportation Program
(STP) funds may be any of the following from Section 133, of the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA):
a) Construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, resurfacing, restoration, and operational
improvements for highways, (including interstate highways) and bridges (including
bridges on public roads of all functional classifications), including any such
construction or reconstruction necessary to accommodate other transportation
modes, and including the seismic.retrofit and painting of and application of calcium
magnesium acetate on bridges and approaches thereto and other elevated
structures, and mitigation of damage to wildlife, habitat, and ecosystems caused by
a transportation project funded under this title.
b) Capital costs for transit projects eligible for assistance under the Federal Transit Act
(FTA) and publicly owned intracity or intercity bus terminals and facilities.
C) Carpool projects, fringe and corridor parking facilities and programs, and bicycle
transportation and pedestrian walkways.
d) Highway and transit safety improvements and programs, hazard eliminations,
projects to mitigate hazards caused by wildlife, and railway- highway grade crossings.
e) Highway and transit research and development and technology transfer programs.
f) Capital and operating costs for traffic monitoring, management, and control facilities
and programs.
g Surface transportation planning programs.
h Transportation enhancement programs.
1) Transportation control measures listed in Section 108 (f)(1)(A) (other than clauses
(xii) and ((xvi) of the Clean Air Act.
j) Development and establishment of management systems under Section 303.

REGIONAL NETWORK CONSORTIUM
Working Together Today for Better Networks Tomorrow
MISSION STATEMENT
Who are we?
We are a voluntary association of government agencies in San Luis Obispo County working
together in making information infrastructure improvements that will help each organization
better meet its technology needs.
Wliat do we stand for?
Virtually every government agency operating in San Luis Obispo County has plans - formal
or informal - for using information technology to achieve important organization -wide goals
such as improving productivity, customer service, community involvement in civic affairs and
public access to information. And in almost all cases, these plans require reliable and cost -
effective information technology infrastructures that allow electronic communications between
remote sites within their own information systems as well as with others.
The purpose of the Consortium is to create a forum where information technology plans can
be shared and solutions identified that will either help make possible through collaborative
efforts what no one agency could achieve alone, or result in more efficient and cost - effective
solutions for everyone.
How does the Consortium help accomplish this?
The Consortium helps bring about better regional networks and electronic connectivity by:
■ Providing an ongoing forum for public agencies to share their plans with each other and
in turn identify solutions that can mutually benefit each of them in terms of better
service or lower costs.
■ Sponsoring workshops to keep member agencies current on new networking products,
services and trends.
■ Providing staff from smaller organizations with opportunities to discuss needs and
solutions with staff from larger, more technologically sophisticated organizations.
■ Developing technical standards and guidelines for communications hardware and
software for use by agencies, on a voluntary basis.
■ Working closely with private sector service providers like Pacific Bell and Call America
as well as community -based organizations like SLONET, United Way, Chamber of
Commerce and recognized community advisory groups in identifying ways of
improving regional networks and overall electronic connectivity.
■ Maintaining a directory of information technology contacts from member agencies,
private sector organizations and community -based groups.
■ Assisting in coordinating efforts to obtain funding that may be available for improving
regional networks through the National Telecommunications and Information Assistance
Program or similar grant programs.
What the Consortium isn't
The Consortium is not another layer of government: it does not act independently nor review
or approve plans and activities of other agencies.
Each agency already possesses the ability to cooperate with other governmental agencies or
private vendors in joint projects and programs that mutually benefit them. What each agency
does not currently possess is knowledge about what other agencies are doing (or planning to
do) where collaborative efforts would result in a better product or lower costs.
In short, the Consortium solely exists to help agencies put together joint projects when it makes
business sense for each of them to do so by providing a forum for sharing plans so that areas
of mutual interest and benefit can be identified.
How does an agency become a Consortium member?
Every governmental agency doing business in San Luis Obispo County - a city, state agency,
special district, council of governments, joint powers authority, the County - is already by
definition a member of the Consortium. However, benefits from membership can only be
obtained by actively supporting - and participating in - Consortium activities.

CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE PRESERVATION GUIDELINES
1.0 INTRODUCTION.
This is a guide to the preservation of archaeological resources in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Archaeological resources refer to the artifacts, human remains and sites associated with past
human activities, including:
• Prehistoric Native American archaeological sites;
• Historic archaeological sites; and
• Sites or natural landscapes associated with important human events.
The guidelines were developed by the Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC), a group of seven
citizens who advise the City Council on cultural resource preservation, including both pre - historic
and historic features. The guidelines are part of the City's Environmental Guidelines. Citizens,
developers, design professionals, staff, the CHC, and decision makers will use these guidelines
to determine whether a project complies with CEQA and what information is needed to evaluate
a project's effects on archaeological sites and artifacts. The preservation of historical sites and
buildings is addressed in another city publication, the HISTORIC PRESERVA77ON PROGRAM
GUIDELINES.
Archaeological resources are reviewed as part of the State - mandated environmental review
process. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and implementing guidelines found
in Section 15000 of the California Administrative Code, apply to all projects carried out by state
and local government agencies, special districts, public institutions, and private individuals or
groups. CEQA requires that the reviewing agency determine whether a project may have adverse
effects on important archaeological resources, and if so, what measures are available to reduce or
eliminate the adverse effects. These guidelines implement, and are consistent with CEQA
requirements and are enforceable through legal action by the City and by private individuals and
groups.
1.10 How to Use These Guidelines.
Archaeological resource preservation starts during the early stages of project planning and design.
Property owners,. developers, builders, design professionals and others involved in public or
private development can use these guidelines to anticipate community concerns, protect important
cultural resources, and to design their projects so as to avoid delays during development review
and construction.
■ To determine if archaeological or historical studies are required for a development
project, check Section 1.20 below.
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 2
■ For a quick overview of the archaeological -review process, refer to the flow chart in
Attachment 5.95.
■ For an explanation of what information is required, how to determine what is
"significant ", and how to mitigate impacts to archaeological resources, refer to Sections
2.0 through 4.0.
■. For specific requirements for archaeological resource evaluations and for recording
archaeological resources, see Attachments 5.70 and 5.80.
For questions about these guidelines or for help in determining whether your project is
exempt, contact the Community Development Department at (805) 781 -7172.
1.20 Exempt Projects.
Not all development projects will require archaeological or historical assessment. For example,
the following types of projects are either exempt from CEQA, or are of a size or type which do
not normally raise archaeological resource preservation issues:
1.20.1. Projects which are either categorically exempt or statutorily exempt under CEQA are
usually not subject to these procedures. However, projects that normally are considered
categorically exempt but that are located within Sensitive Areas may require an Archaeological
Resource Inventory pursuant to Section 2.0 of these Guidelines. Sensitive Area maps are on file
in the Community Development Department.
1.20.2. Projects on parcels, including those in Sensitive Areas, which have undergone substantial
subsurface disturbance, as determined by the Community Development Director ( "Director ") and
as defined in Attachment 5.60.
1.20.3. Projects on parcels of less than 1 acre, not in a. "sensitive area ", which the Director
determines would have little or no potential to adversely affect archaeological resources. This
determination must be based on specific findings, such as information. from previous
archaeological studies or a preliminary' evaluation of the site by the Central Coast Historical
Resource Information Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
1.30 Sensitive Areas.
Archaeologically "Sensitive Areas" shall include:
A. Areas inside or within 200 feet (61 meters) of the boundaries of an archaeological site
shown on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps on file in the Community
Development Department or recorded with the Central Coast Historical Information
Center.
l n
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 3
B. Areas within 200 feet of top of banks of the San Luis Obispo, Stenner, Brizzolara,
Acacia, Old Garden, Prefumo, and Froom Creeks;
C. Areas inside a Historical Archaeological District, as shown on archaeological
sensitivity maps on file at the Community Development Department.
D. Sites designated on the Master List of Historic Resources, or determined to be eligible
for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Resources (PRC Section
5024.1 (a)).
E. Sites designated as being within a historically or archaeologically sensitive area by the
CHC, City Council or other governmental agency.
1.40 Relationship to the General Plan.
These guidelines are based upon and implement policies in the General Plan Land Use Element,
Conservation Element, and Open .Space Element.
1.50 Cultural Heritage Committee Role.
The CHC is appointed by the City Council, and its members have special interest or expertise in
the field of Cultural Resources. The CHC maintains these guidelines and provides expertise to
resolve questions referred to it by the Director. The CHC's actions and recommendations are
advisory to the Director, Architectural Review Commission, Planning Commission and the City
Council.
2.0. ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE INVENTORY.
2.10 Purpose.
The purpose of an Archaeological Resources Inventory (ARI) is to determine if archaeological .
resources may be present on a parcel of land. The ARI involves a check of maps, records and
other historical literature, and requires a surface field survey by a qualified archaeologist. A
written report must be submitted to the Director to determine if . more extensive resource
evaluation is necessary. Once accepted, copies of the report must be filed by the archaeologist
with the Historical Resources Information Center.
2.20 When Required.
An Archaeological Resource Inventory (ARI, or "inventory") shall be required when the Director
determines that a project is likely to disturb subsurface materials, and when the project site is
vacant or essentially so and is one acre or larger in size, or contains vacant area that is one acre
or larger. A parcel less than 1 acre in size may also require an inventory if it is located within
7
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 4
a "Sensitive Area." The project applicant shall be responsible for paying the costs of the ARI.
2.30 Submittal and Review Process.
2.30.1. When a project requires an ARI, the project applicant shall have prepared and shall
submit an inventory, for review as part of a complete Planning Application. The inventory shall
contain the information described in Appendix 5.30. NOTE: historic resources, such as buildings
and historic sites, may require evaluation methods other than those addressed by these guidelines.
Refer to the City's Historic Preservation Program Guidelines.
2.30.2. Upon receiving the ARI, the Director shall determine whether a subsurface archaeological
investigation is necessary, pursuant to Section 3.0.
3.0. SUBSURFACE ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCE EVALUATION.
3.10 Purpose.
The Subsurface Archaeological Resource Evaluation (SARE) is the primary method used by the
City to identify significant archaeological resources. The outcome of the SARE determines which
resources are protected.or evaluated further. It also forms the basis for mitigating project impacts
and where appropriate, for data excavation and recovery.
3.20 When Required.
When the ARI indicates the presence of, or the probable presence of archaeological resources, and
development near those resources cannot be avoided, the Director may require a SARE to verify
the presence of archaeological resources, location of the resources, and to determine the site's
integrity, archaeological significance, and where appropriate, the effects of the proposed project
on the resources. The project applicant shall be responsible for paying the costs of consultant
services and for City administration of consultant contracts to identify and evaluate archaeological
resources.
3.30 Submittal and Review.
After completion of all field work, the SARE shall be prepared as described in the Checklist for
Preparing and Reviewing Archaeological Resource Management Reports (ARMR), Attachment
5.70, and shall be submitted to the Director. The Director will determine from the SARE report
if a significant effect may occur on significant or unique archaeological resources or significant
historical resource. Once the SARE is accepted by the Director as being complete, the
archaeologist shall submit copies of the report to the Historical Resources Information Center.
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 5
3.40 Determination of Significance.
3.40.1. Archaeological evaluations must include a determination of significance, including
whether an archaeological resource is "unique" under CEQA.
3.40.2. "Significant" or "important" prehistoric or historic archaeological resources include those
sites or features which:
A. Are designated and /or mapped as significant cultural/historical resources at the local
level, or are eligible for such local listing, or are eligible for listing on. the California
Historic Register; or
B. Are located within a geographically definable district with a concentration of site,
buildings, structures, or objected which are historically linked and /or associated with an
important historical event; or
C. Exemplify or reflect noteworthy aspects of cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering, or architectural development at the local, state or national level; or
D. Are directly associated with an event or person of:
(1) recognized scientific significance in San Luis Obispo City or County, California
or United States history; or
(2) recognized scientific significance in prehistory;
E. Can provide information which is both of demonstrable public interest and useful in
addressing scientifically or .archaeologically consequential and reasonable research
questions; or
F. Have special or unique qualities, such as oldest, best preserved, last example of its
type, or of particular rarity; or
G. Are at least 100 years old and possess substantial stratigraphic integrity; or
H. Are determined to be significant or unique by the Director based on CEQA
standards or other adopted State or Federal standards.
3.40.3. If upon completion of the SARE the archaeological consultant's findings are inconclusive,
the Director may require revisions or supplements to the SARE.
3.40.4.. If upon completion of the SARE the archaeological consultant finds that unique or
significant archaeological resources are not present, and these findings are accepted by the
Director, then development review or construction activities may proceed without further delay
and no further evaluation is required.
o
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Yage 6
3.40.5. If the SARE concludes there is only a remote possibility that cultural resources may exist
within the impact zone, monitoring of construction activities may be required to protect
archaeological resources in accordance with Section 4.50. °
.3.40.6. If the SARE concludes that the archaeological site is significant and that the project may
have a significant effect on important or unique archaeological resources, the project sponsor shall
either:
A. modify the proposed development to avoid impacts; or
B. mitigate the adverse impacts to the archaeological site to a level of insignificance, as
described in Section 4.0.
The project applicant shall provide site security to prevent looting and site disturbance until impact
mitigation and /or data recovery is completed, to the approval of the Director.
4.0. ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES IMPACT MITIGATION.
4.10 Purpose.
Impact mitigation seeks to prevent adverse project- related effects on significant archaeological
resources through avoidance, design modification, easements, data recovery or other means.
4.20 When Required.
4.20.1. When a significant or potentially significant archaeological resource may be adversely
affected, the project shall be designed or modified to avoid damaging the resources, and /or the
project shall include appropriate mitigation measures to protect or excavate and recover the
resources. The project applicant shall be responsible for paying the costs of archaeological
resource impact mitigation, up to the maximum allowed by law (see Attachment 5.900).
A. If required by the Director, the project sponsor shall retain a qualified archaeologist
to prepare a mitigation plan as described in Attachment 5.50(D). The Director may refer
the mitigation plan to the CHC for review.
B. If prior to releasing the Director's environmental determination for public review, the
project sponsor agrees to revise the project's design to avoid potentially significant impacts
or to incorporate mitigation measures that reduce the impacts to insignificant levels, a
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact, including required mitigation measures,
may be issue, pursuant to CEQA.
C. If a resource has been determined to be significant and project - related impacts cannot
not be reduced to insignificant levels, and avoidance or data recovery of cultural resources
is not feasible, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) shall be prepared, pursuant to the
Environmental Guidelines.
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 7
4.30 Mitigation Methods - Avoidance.
For archaeological resources found to be significant, the preferred mitigation is protection in -situ
through preservation, avoidance or capping. Preservation may be accomplished in several ways,
including but not limited to:
4.30.1. Locating development and construction activities to avoid archaeological sites;
4.30.2. Planning open space areas to include archaeological sites. Cultural sites , and
archaeological sites should be protected as open space wherever possible;
4.30.3. Capping or covering archaeological sites with a layer of culturally sterile soil before
building. This layer shall be sufficiently thick to be able to incorporate all foundation footings,
utility trenches, grading, etc. without disturbing the native soil. Capping may be used where:
A. The soils to be covered will not suffer serious compaction;
B. The covering materials are not chemically active;
C. The site is one in which the natural processes of deterioration have been effectively
arrested; and
D. The site has been recorded and characterized as a result of subsurface testing.
4.30.4. Deeding archaeological sites into permanent conservation easements.
4.30.5. Employing other measures that eliminate the potential for damage to archaeological
resources.
4.30.6. Project design or location changes to avoid significant archaeological resources.
4.30.7. Incorporating significant sites or structures into a development through restoration,
rehabilitation, or adaptive reuse where avoidance is not possible.
4.30.8. Dedication of an historic easement or fee title land to preserve significant sites.
4.30.9. Archaeological data recovery excavation.
4.40 Archaeological Data Recovery - Excavation.
4.40.1. Purpose.
The purpose of an Archaeological Data Recovery Excavation (ADRE) is to recover important
archaeological resources from a site to mitigate project - related adverse impacts. When required
by the Director, the project sponsor shall retain a qualified archaeologist to prepare and submit
a written proposal to conduct an ADRE. The proposal shall contain the information described in
n U
,Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 8
Attachment 5.20. Once the proposal is approved, the project sponsor shall implement the ADRE
proposal, to the satisfaction of the Director. Results of the ADRE shall be documented in writing
and submitted to the Historical Resources Information Center.
4.40.2. When Required.
An Archaeological Data Recovery Excavation (ADRE) shall be conducted when, in the opinion
of the Director, the site cannot be avoided and contains potentially significant archaeological
resources which can be recovered using commonly applied archaeological methods. An ADRE
may be conducted as the result of an ARI or the SARE, or due to the discovery of archaeological
resources during construction.
4.40.3. Archaeological Data Recovery Excavations Procedures.
Data recovery may include a variety of methods, including controlled surface collection. or
mapping, subsurface excavation, photographs, sampling, and technical drawings to provide a
permanent record of features which may be affected by development. As provided under State
law, special rules apply to archaeological resource excavations:
4.40.31. The field excavation phase of an approved mitigation plan shall be completed
in 90 days from start of excavation. The Director, upon the concurrence of the project sponsor,
may grant an exception to the 90-day limit upon making written findings that special
circumstances apply to the site or the resources which warrant a time extension.
4.4032. Excavation as part of a mitigation plan shall be limited to those site areas or
resources that would be damaged, or that the Director determine are likely to be damaged by the
proposed project unless special circumstances require limited excavation of adjoining areas to
develop important information about the part of the resource that would be damaged. A qualified
archaeologist shall be present during excavation, and site security shall be maintained by site
fencing, resident caretaker or other comparable method to protect the resources from unauthorized
collection.
4.40.33. Discovery of Human Remains.
A. If human remains are recovered, there shall be no further excavation or site
disturbance in the area likely to contain human remains until:
1. The County Coroner has been informed and determined that no
investigation of cause of death is required; and
2. If remains are likely to be of Native American origin, representatives
of local Native American groups should be consulted as to the appropriate
disposition of the human remains and other associated grave materials, as
provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 9
B. It shall be the project applicant's responsibility to rebury Native American
human remains and associated grave materials with appropriate dignity on the
property in a location not subject to further disturbance; or to treat or dispose of
the remains pursuant to a agreement with the Native American Heritage
Commission or other responsible Native American or cultural group.
4.40.34. Materials recovered must be analyzed and reported upon as outlined in
Attachment 5.50(C).
4.40.4. Curation of Archaeological Artifacts.
4.40.41. All important archaeological resources removed from a project site shall be
curated at a qualified institution. Qualified institutions are those that have facilities and staffing
necessary for ensuring security, proper storage, and research access to collections. Collections
shall be submitted with pertinent site maps, field records, artifact catalogs and photographs.
4.40.42. It is the project sponsor's responsibility for malting arrangements for curation
and paying any necessary curation fees, up to the maximum allowed by law.
4.40.5. Access To Archaeological Records.
4.40.51. Access to archaeological records shall be limited to protect archaeological sites
and resources. The following individuals are qualified to review or receive archaeological records
on file in the Community Development Department and may do so after approval by the Director
or the CHC:
A. Qualified archaeologists and students conducting scientific research.
B. Planners or other personnel employed by government agencies for purposes
of preliminary project investigations.
C. Qualified cultural resource managers employed by government agencies or
public utility companies..
D. Consultants who are preparing environmental impact reports or other
environmental documents.
E. Owners of identified archaeological sites or their designated representatives.
F. Designated representatives of local Native American tribes, or individuals
listed with the Native American Heritage Commission.
4.40.52. Those receiving site record data must sign a document of confidentiality
prohibiting the distribution of specific site location information in public documents without prior
written consent of the Director.
4.40:53. To maintain local accessibility, archaeological resources shall be curated within
San Luis Obispo County. Upon prior Director approval, archaeological resources may be curated
at an out -of -county facility when the Director determines that adequate facilities are not available
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 10
within the County, or that preservation objectives would be best served by an out -of -county
facility.
4.50 Monitoring of Construction Activities.
Monitoring of construction activities may be required if, after completion of an ARI, SARE, or
ADRE there is still a remote possibility that significant or potentially significant archaeological
resources are present in the impact zone or it is not reasonable to conduct additional investigations
prior to construction; and when monitoring is necessary to ensure that the mitigation measures
enacted to avoid or otherwise protect significant archaeological resources located outside the
immediate impact zone will be carried out. The proposal to monitor construction must:
A. Be submitted to the Director in writing as part of the ARI, SARE, or ADRE and be
approved by the Director prior to the beginning of construction;
B. Identify. the qualified archaeologist; and where Native American artifacts or human
remains are likely, the qualified Native American tribal representative or cultural
community advisor who will conduct the monitoring;
C. Recommend specific procedures for responding to the discovery of archaeological
resources during the construction of the project, pursuant to Section 4.60.
4.60 Archaeological Discoveries During Construction.
4.60.1. Notification. If during the course of a project, archaeological materials are identified
by .an archaeological monitor, City staff, the project sponsor or his /her representative or
employee, all construction activities that may disrupt those materials shall cease. The Director
shall be notified immediately of the discovery of archaeological materials.
4:60.2. Feld Study. Under most circumstances, the project sponsor will be directed to retain
a qualified archaeologist to immediately visit the site, evaluate the materials recovered, and
consult with the Director to determine the appropriate course of action. The archaeologist's written
recommendations shall be filed with the Director.
4.60.3. Mitigation. If significant archaeological resources are present, the consulting
archaeologist shall propose specific mitigation measures. The Director shall approve, approve
with changes, or reject the mitigation proposal. The project sponsor shall implement the proposal,
to the satisfaction of the Director. A copy of the archaeologist's recommendations and the
Director's decision will be forwarded to the CHC.
4.70 Violations.
Failure to comply with these guidelines may violate the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 - 21178. 1), and constitute grounds for legal action
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines

5.60 Definitions.
Archaeological Data Recovery Excavation (ADRE): Activities directed at locating, recovering,
and properly curating important archaeological resources from a site to mitigate project - related
adverse impacts. The ADRE is conducted when an archaeological site cannot be avoided and
when the site contains significant or potentially significant archaeological resources, as further
described in Section 4.40.
Archaeological resources: Physical remains and their associated sites from all periods of human
occupation, from prehistoric into historic times.
Archaeological resource evaluation: An analysis conducted by a qualified archaeologist to
determine the importance of an archaeological resource and to identify the potential project effects
on the important aspects of the resource.
Archaeological Resource Inventory (AR1): A preliminary archaeological study to determine if
Archaeological Resource Preservation Guidelines
Page 16
a parcel contains or is likely to contain archaeological resources. The "ARP' requires a check of
maps, records and other historical literature and a surface field study by a qualified archaeologist,
as further described in Section 2.0.
Archaeological site: Those areas where archaeological resources are present and may be larger
or smaller than the project site.
Curation: The identification, evaluation, storage, and where appropriate, public display of
artifacts or other archaeological resources at a institution, such as a Museum, College or
University, which has the necessary equipment, staff and expertise to provide such services.
Director: The Community Development Director of the City of San Luis Obispo, or other
designated responsible staff.
Historic archaeological site: An area shown on the city's archaeological resource inventory maps
as having been occupied by a structure more than 75 years ago.
Monitoring: The watchful presence of a qualified archaeologist, Native American representative
or other appropriate monitor during construction on or near an archaeological site. The monitor
is responsible for observing construction activities, notifying appropriate persons when
construction activities threaten archaeological resources, and for recommending specific
procedures for avoiding damage to archaeological resources.
Native American monitor: A descendant of local Chumash people, as certified by the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The monitor shall have documented experience in the
recognition of prehistoric artifacts and an understanding of state and federal laws concerning the
protection of Native American human remains.

contain the project activities, whatever is larger.
Qualified archaeologist: A person with'a graduate degree in Archaeology, Anthropology, or
History and additionally, whose credentials meet the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional
Qualification Standards for Historic or Prehistoric Archaeology; or a person whose professional
credentials have been referred to and accepted by the CHC.
Sensitive Site: A parcel or parcels which due to their location and /or history are likely to contain
archaeological resources, as further described in Section 1.30. The Director may require that
projects which are normally exempt but which are located on "sensitive sites ", submit
archaeological studies and mitigate impacts pursuant to these guidelines.
Significant or Important Archaeological Site or Resources: A significant or important
archaeological site or resource includes prehistoric or historic archaeological features which:

January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
INTRODUCTION
Access to information about historical resources is a prerequisite for preservation efforts. Informed
planning hinges on the use of that data and information about historical resources also plays an important role
in research and education. In the absence of such information, historical resources may be harmed by
development or even natural deterioration without consideration of the public loss. For that reason, managing
information about historical resources is a fundamental role of the California Office of Historic Preservation
(O1-IP)•
The new recordation procedures described in this manual comprise a single system for documenting the
full range of values present in a given location. As such, they are similar to the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) nomination form. Like the NRHP form, California's new historical resource recording system
provides for the collection of certain fundamental information about every resource on a simple one page form
called a Primary Record. The Primary Record is designed to be used by anyone wishing to record a resource.
A variety of more specific forms can then be used to supplement that information with further descriptive data
and a statement of significance where appropriate.
This manual establishes guidelines regarding the kinds of resources that merit recordation and the
different levels of information it may be appropriate to gather about them to meet a variety of user needs. The
scope and organization of the information managed by the OHP is first explained in this introductory section.
Detailed instructions are then provided for recording all kinds of historical resources. Other OHP publications
are being developed to explain changes in how that information will be managed.
The Scope of OHP's Filing System
For the longest time historical resources have been conceived of as buildings, structures, objects, and
archaeological sites. That perspective has changed recently as more is learned about peoples of differing
ethnic and economic backgrounds and their relationship to historical resources. A broader spectrum of
resource types are now recognized, and awareness also has increased regarding the diverse values associated
with historical resources. Both factors have contributed to the development of a more comprehensive and
holistic view of the historic environment embodied in the use of concepts such as "cultural landscape."
The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) is committed to developing an increasingly
comprehensive and integrated system for managing information about all types of historical resources in order
to accommodate this holistic view of the historical landscape. The scope of the information the OHP manages
will continue to broaden to meet the diverse legal, educational, research, and other needs of its many users.
Integration of the files will contribute to the efficiency of that filing system, facilitating access to information
and enhancing, awareness of all aspects of California's diverse cultural landscape.
The information currently managed by the OHP and its regional Information Centers includes a variety of
specific information about historical resources, as well as reports describing how those resources were
identified, evaluated, and treated. The files for specific resources have been divided historically between the
Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) and the Archaeological Inventory (AI) . That separation has created a -
number of management problems, as discussed by the National Park Service (1990c) and the OHP (1991a).
One solution to those problems is to integrate the HRI and Al files —a process now underway. The recordation
procedures described in this manual are designed to facilitate that integration.
The OHP's filing system also manages reports documenting survey, treatment, and registration activities.
Survey reports provide crucial information about the adequacy of efforts to identify historical resources and
thus constitute another important source of information managed by the OHP. While this manual does not
provide detailed instructions for conducting surveys, the forms explained here do provide mechanisms for
cross - referencing reports, registration programs, and decisions about the significance and treatment of each
resource.
o c
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
Information about how to conduct and report survey activities can be found in final Romer Bulletin
24 (National Park Service 1985), the Secretary of the Interior's Standards Wd Guidelines &I Archeolo"Lud
Historic Preservation (National Park Service 1983), and California Historic Resources Surve; Workbook
(Office of Historic Preservation 1986). Appendix 6 summarizes the fundamental topics that the Secretary of
the Interior recommends covering in reports describing reconnaissance and intensive surveys, while more
detailed suggestions are offered in Archaeological Resource Management &ports (ARMR): Recommended
Contents and Format (Office of Historic Preservation 1989a).
What Kinds of Resources Merit Recordation?
A broad threshold is set here for the kinds of resources that may be recorded for inclusion in the OHP's
filing system. That threshold is intentionally designed to encompass resources that have been formally
evaluated, as well as those whose importance has not yet been determined. More restrictive criteria must be
met before resources included in OHP's filing system are listed, found eligible for listing, or otherwise '
determined to be important in connection with federal, state, and local legal statutes and registration
programs.
Any physical evidence of human activities over 45 years old may be recorded for inclusion in the OHP's
filing system. That broad threshold allows for the collection of data about resources that may become eligible,
for the NRHP or California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) within five years — commonly the lag time
lag between when resources are identified and when planning decisions are made. Documentation of
resources less than 45 years old also may be filed if those resources have been formally evaluated, regardless
of the outcome of the evaluation. Certain fundamental kinds of information must be recorded before a record
for a qualifying resource will be included in the OHP's filing system, as discussed below.
The OHP recognizes that there are a wide range of reasons for recording historical resources. It is
understandable that within the constraints of a survey's objectives it is not always reasonable or appropriate to
record all historical resources as defined here. Professional judgement in the field is essential when
determining whether or not a resource warrants recordation. The scope of surveys may be defined by specific
legal criteria. In such cases, survey methods may be clarified through consultation and agreement with the.
State Historic Preservation Officer.
Professional surveys that do not evaluate resources against specific legal criteria should record all
resources that meet the broad threshold set here when those studies are conducted in connection with planned
developments. Detailed recordation of all but the most limited resource types is generally required for such
project - driven, non- evaluative professional surveys.
Surveys conducted for reasons other than development activities may focus on a narrower range of
resources based on the user's need for information For example, a thematic survey may focus exclusively on
the identification of a certain type of resource or a reconnaissance survey may be conducted to develop a
management plan for a large tract of land. The submission of records not produced as the result of surveys are -
also encouraged.
Classifying Historical Resources
After discovering a historical resource it is useful to classify it. The OHP has adopted the NRHP resource
categories as a basis for initial classification of California's historical resources. More detailed classification is
then based on the presence of any of the attributes listed in Appendix 5. The NRHP categories are defined by
the National Park Service (1990b:4 -5) as follows, and examples of each category are provided in Appendix 5:
Building: A building, such as a house, barn, church, hotel, or similar construction, is created
principally to shelter any form of human activity. "Building" may also be used to refer to a
historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn.
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
Structure: The term "structure" is used to distinguish from buildings those functional
constructions made usually for purposes other than creating human shelter.
Object: The term "object" is used to distinguish from buildings and structures those constructions
that are primarily artistic in nature or are relatively small in scale and simply constricted.
Although it may be, by nature or design, movable, an object is associated with a specific setting or
environment.
Site: A site is the location of a significant event, a prehistoric or historic occupation or activity, or
a building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, where the location itself possesses
historic, cultural, or archaeological value regardless of the value of any existing structure.
District: A district possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings,
structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development.
The OHP encourages a comprehensive approach to identifying historical resources. In that approach all
historically associated and /or physically superimposed resources are documented together as elements of
California's cultural landscape. Even if you lack the expertise needed to record all aspects of a resource in
detail, you are urged to provide a brief summary of the full range of values that may be present whenever
feasible (in Fields P4, B11, L10, Al, and D6). This will ensure that each element receives more routine
consideration in the planning process.
When conducting a comprehensive survey you should generally record large and complex cultural
landscapes as districts. Small, simple groupings of resources such as a historic building constructed on top of
an archaeological site or a house with an associated garage or bam are most appropriately documented
together as an individual historical resource using a single Primary Record to index all of the values present
and detailed recording Forms, as appropriate, to present more detailed information about each component.
It should be emphasized that some resources lacking individual distinction nevertheless may contribute to
the understanding and appreciation of California's history and prehistory. Such resources may include, but
are not necessarily limited to isolated archaeological artifacts and remnants of cultural landscapes. If a
resource cannot be readily classified as one of the five National Register types defined above, the checkbox for
"other" in Field P4 may be marked to designate the presence of an isolate or very minor resource. The "other"
checkbox should not be used for features that clearly fall into one of the National Register types. You are
encouraged to document isolated and minor resources however it is most sensible to do so, either as
individually recorded entities or as features of larger historical resources.
The term "feature" is used in this manual to refer to minor components of historical resources. Features
generally consist of small constructed works, discrete activity areas, landscaping, earthworks, non - portable
natural objects modified by human use, and other similar cultural entities. They include, but are not limited to
values such as: a garage or landscaping associated with a house; a gate valve associated with a ditch; an adit,
tailings, or mined mill that are part of a mining complex; or a trash pit, orchard, discrete activity area, bedrock
milling station, rock art panel, or carved tree associated with a site.
Traditional cultural properties (TCPs) are an important aspect of California's cultural heritage that are
receiving long- overdue attention. The California Native American Heritage Commission has maintained an
inventory of sacred sites for many years. In 1988 the OR? published Eju Views: An Ethnic EtU 5u= fa
California (1988) to promote awareness about resources important to several ethnic groups including Native
Americans.
The 01-IP specifically encourages the documentation of TCPs on a Primary Record as a basis for including
information about them in the Inventory. More detailed information about TCPs may be documented
depending on the need for information about that resource. Consult National Re 'ster Bulletin 38 (National
Park Service 1990a) for information about how to conduct a survey of TCPs.

How Much Documentation Is Enough
The recording forms in this manual are designed to meet a wide range of needs for information about
historical resources. They allow reasonable discretion regarding the level of information that is collected based
on each user's needs and the relative value of the resources that are being documented. That flexibility is
intended to encourage the recordation of historical resources not consistently incorporated into the OHP's files
up to this time.
The minimum documentation needed before the record for a qualifying resource will be included in
OHP's filing system generally consists of a completed one page Primary Record and a Location Map.
However, the Location Map is optional for resources on small parcels of land in urbanized areas when a street
address is provided. More detailed descriptive information and evaluations can be documented on the
Building, Structure, and Object (BSO) Record; Archaeological Site. Record; and District Record to meet needs
not satisfied by the minimum th1eshold. A Sketch Map should also be prepared to accompany most detailed
records.
The minimum level of documentation is designed to provide an initial record for all types of resources. It
may even provide relatively complete descriptive data for simple resource types such as isolated
archaeological fords and minor historic landscape features. However, it is important to emphasize that the
Primary Record (and a Location Map when required) is strictly non - evaluative and constitutes the Trani ;um
documentation needed to include a record in OHP's filing system. Professional surveys conducted in 1.
connection with planned development projects should generally record all but the very simplest resources
with a Primary Record, Location Map, and an appropriate detailed recording form or forms (e.g., BSO Record,
Archaeological Site Record, and District Record).
Several other optional recording forms have also been designed for use in conjunction with all of the
aforementioned records. They include a Linear Feature. Record, Milling Station Record, Rock Art Record, and
Artifact Record„ Photograph Record, Continuation Sheet. Use of those optional forms is entirely discretionary. .
Examples of all the forms are provided in Appendix 1.
Format Requirements and Submission of Records
All records submitted for inclusion in the Inventory must be typewritten or computer- generated. Fields
marked wither sidebar, asterisk, and boldface type in this manual must be completed. Please make'every "
effort to produce clear and easily readable maps, photographs, and drawings when they are required.
The use of computers is encouraged in the production all of the records described in this manual. Every
required data field must be included on computer- generated forms, with header blocks presented as they
appear on the sample.forms. For records documenting buildings, structures, and objects it is preferable to
format computer - generated records the same as those reproduced in Appendix 1, with continued text placed
on a Continuation Sheet. It is particularly helpful.to keep the photograph (required for buildings; structures, `
and objects in Field P5 on the Primary Record) on the first paSe of a record. When a photograph is not
required, this space may be utilized for continuous text.
For records documenting sites the text of computer- generated data fields should usually be entered as a
continuous block,. with paragraphs used to break the text up as appropriate. Lengthy entries should generally
be introduced with a paragraph that summarizes the data in that field. District Records may be produced with
either continuous text or the use of a Continuation Sheet.
The OHP encourages you to submit all types of data about historical resources for inclusion in its filing
system, from minimal records to detailed documentation, reports, registration data, and other pertinent
information. Each type of information will further preservation efforts and contribute to greater awareness of
the value of our rich and varied history and prehistory. Recorders are urged to submit two copies of each
record to the appropriate regional Information Center listed in Appendix 8 soon after completion of a survey. - -
C �
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
Upon acceptance, the Information Center will assign a Primary Number and forward one copy of the record to
the OHP for inclusion in its Central Records. A survey report is normally expected to accompany or follow
any submission of detailed recording forms resulting from a professional survey.
For built resource surveys conducted in connection with federal undertakings it is acceptable to submit
one copy of the survey report to the appropriate Information Center after completion of the study and a
second copy can then be submitted directly to the OHP. In such cases, the second copy should identify each
resource by the Primary Number assigned by the Information Center. For surveys funded through the OHP,
records and survey reports should be submitted in accordance with the contract.
THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF DOCUMENTATION
The Primary Record and a Location Map provide the minimum level of information needed to include a
record in the OFFS filing system. The Location Map is optional for buildings located on small parcels of land
in urban areas when an address is provided. This minimum level of documentation is designed to provide an
initial record of all types of historical resources including buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts, as
well as cultural landscapes (sites) and traditional cultural properties (many of which are classified as sites).
How to Prepare a Primary Record,
The following are step-by -step instructions for completing the Primary Record. Please note that required
information is indicated with a sidebar, asterisk, and bold type in the instructions that follow.
Header Block: Information provided in the header block will be used to track resource records and the -
decisions made about a documented resource. Enter the appropriate information in the spaces provided for
Primary Number, Trinomial /HRI Number, Other Listings, and NRHP Status Code when known The space
provided for Review Code, Date, and Reviewer will be completed by the OHP or Information Center staff and
should always be left blank.
Primaz�E N im r. Enter a number only if it has already been assigned by OHP or an Information Center.
Trinomial/ I Number. Enter a number only if one has already been assigned by OHP or an Information
Center.
NRHP Status od : If only a Primary Record is filled out, enter a 7 in this field or leave it blank
You may enter a National Register Status Code other than 7 if an evaluation supported by a BSO Record,
District Record, or other detailed documentation is attached.
Other n Enter any national, state, and local designation programs in which the resource is listed.
Provide a reference number if applicable. Enter only those designations &Cady-appmved at the time of
recordation. Use the following abbreviations: NABS (Historic American Building Survey), HAER
(Historic American Engineering Record), NHL (National Historic Landmark), SHL (State Historical
Landmark), CPHI (California Point of Historical Interest), CRHR (California Register of Historical
Resources); or provide the name of the local register where applicable.
'Resource Name or #: Use this field to provide an identifier that can be used to link all the pages of the record.
The identifier can be a historic or common name, parcel number, or any other designator which will
consistently refer to the resource.
Pl. Other Identifier: This space may be used to provide an identifier that relates to a project name, agency
designation, or other unique identifier.

Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
'PZ Location: First, indicate whether or not the location of the resource should be kept confidential. Then
provide the name of the county (or counties) (Field P2a); USGS 7.5' quadrangle, township, Range, and portion
of a Section (Field P2b); and an Address (Field P2c) and /or UTM coordinate(s) (Field P2d). Other locational
information may be provided in Field P2e as needed.
A Location Map must be attached to the Primary Record for sites, as well as other resources that do not have a
street address. Locations Maps are also recommended for resources on large parcels where an address may
not satisfactorily pinpoint the location of the resource within the parcel.
•P2a. County Give the name of the county or counties in which the resource is located. If it is located in
more than one county, put the county containing the majority of the resource first. Include the appropriate
county and state for resources that extend outside of California.
•P2b. USGS 7.5'Ouadrangle. Township. Range, and Section: Provide the name of the USGS 7S'
quadrangle(s) that cover the area in which the resource is located and describe its legal location to the
nearest quarter quarter section where possible. For large or linear resources spanning an extensive
geographic area it may be helpful to provide several legal descriptions. Indicate the township, range and
base meridian for each legal description.
Plc. Address: Enter the complete address for the parcel on which the resource is located if one exists.
Include the street or highway number and name, town or city, and zip code. For numbered highways, use
"State Route" or "County Road" followed by a number. -
P2d. UTM UTM coordinates are required for sites, and should also be used for other resources that either
do not have a street address or cannot be accurately located by the address due to the size of the parcel.
For example, linear structures rarely have addresses and many rural buildings are located on large parcels.
In such cases, UTMs should be provided to more accurately pinpoint the location of the resource.
Begin by entering the name of the U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle(s). Note the date the map was
published or photorevised. For resources less than 10 acres, enter the UTM reference for the point
corresponding to the center of the resource. Four UTM references are required when identifying the
comers of larger resources. UTM references should be provided for both ends of linear structures and
sites (or for the recorded segment of that resource). When more than one UTM reference is given, each
reference point should be depicted on a Location Map. Refer to Appendix 3 for further information about
how to calculate UTMs.
Pte, Other Locational Data While no further locational data is required, it may be helpful to supply
additional information such as a parcel number; lot, block, and subdivision; and /or directions to a
resource. Parcel numbers may be particularly useful to local governments that make decisions affecting
historical resources. For resources that are particularly hard to find, it may even be necessary to
supplement the Location Map with an Access Map showing how to get to the resource from an easily
identifiable landmark
•P3a. Description: Provide a concise, well- organized description of the resource. Descnbe its physical
characteristics and appearance and summarize any features that are associated with it. Where possible, note
all aspects of the resource you observe, even if some of those elements are not recorded in detail.
Descriptions of buildings, structures, and objects should identify construction details, materials, workmanship,
and alterations. Buildings are often described in terms of overall shape, number of stories, siding type, roof
shape and materials, dormer shape, window location and pattern, door location, porch type, and
ornamentation. Information on the nature and extent of any alterations should also be included. Boundary
descriptions may be brief and may refer solely to the resource's parcel where appropriate. Describe the area
outside the boundaries, mentioning as appropriate landscape, use, architecture, and other aspects related to
E. setting.
11-�/
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
Descriptions of linear structures and linear sites should include an overview of the entire resource when
possible, even in cases where only a segment of that resource is recorded. The overview should attempt to
describe the type of resource, when it was constructed, how long it is, its shape, its origin and destination, how
it was constructed (e.g., materials, workmanship, special engineering accomplishments, etc.), its setting and
physical condition, and to a limited degree, its function When only a portion of a linear resource has been
examined in the field, that segment should be identified on the Location Map.
Descriptions of sites should summarize observed physical characteristics and major cultural and natural
features (e.g., midden, lithic scatter, shell mound, housepits, rock art, bedrock milling features, etc.). While
interpretive comments may also be included, the principal goal of this section is to describe the site in as much
detail as possible.
When recording traditional cultural properties, the description should be based on information provided by
members of the community historically associated with that resource. Refer to National Reg sx ter Bulletin 38
(National Park Service 1990a) for further information about recording TCPs.
Descriptions of districts should briefly summarize overall characteristics, setting, and the numbers and types
of contributing and non - contributing resource elements. Discuss the characteristics that link the elements of
the district and give it coherence. Mention natural and cultural features as appropriate. If you are describing
an element of a district, provide the Primary Number and /or the resource identifier of the district, when
known
V3b. Resource Attributes: Enter those attributes which best define and describe the resource from the list of
Resource Attributes in Appendix 4. Provide the code and a brief description for each attribute identified. For
example, a complex resource may contain several attributes; such as a "(2) single family property," "(50)
building foundation;' and "(56) bedrock milling feature." The codes provided in this data field will enable
attribute -based record searches which, when combined with other variables, will faciliate contextual research
24. Resources Present: Check the category or categories that best describe the resource that is being
documented using Appendix 5 and National Regjs Bulletin 15 (National Park Service 1990b) for reference.
When documenting a resource with superimposed elements such as a building located on top of an
archaeological site, check all categories that apply. If the resource is part of a district, check the box for
"Element of District" in addition to the appropriate box (or boxes) that define the kind of resource If the.,
. record is being prepared to document a district, check the district box.
°'P5 Photogra_ph or Drawing and Descrivtion: A dear and descriptive glossy 3- 1/2 "x5" black and white
photograph is required for all records documenting buildings, structures, and objects, and may also be
supplied when documenting sites (including isolated finds and minor features). Describe the subject, view,
date the photograph was taken, and the accession number of the photograph (roll and frame #) in Field PSb.
Place the print in a clear polyethylene or polypropylene envelope and affix the envelope to the record in the
space provided using transparent tape, preferrably an archivally stable brand. Scanned halftone images may'
be an acceptable substitute for original photographs; however, you should consult with staff at the OHP and
regional Information Centers of the California Historical Resources Information System before submitting
records with such graphics.
Photographs of buildings, structures, and objects should provide an overview of the resource in its setting or a
detailed view of the resource itself where appropriate One contemporary photograph showing the front and
one side of the resource is usually sufficient. For some resources, however, it may be useful to provide
additional views, supplementary historical pictures, photographs of details, and photographs of ancillary
structures, placed on Continuation Sheets. This space also can be used for a drawing, plan, or map of minor
resources and isolated archaeological finds; or for supplementary text where a photograph or other graphics
are not required.
�'P6. Date Constructed/Age and Sources: Indicate whether the resource is prehistoric, historic, or both, list
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
the construction date or period of use, and briefly describe how that date or period was determined. Indicate
whether the date or period of use is factual or estimated. The term "historic" applies to all historical resources
associated with non - indigenous peoples, as well as those used by Native Americans after direct contact with
non- indigenous peoples. The tern "prehistoric" applies to all historical resources used by Native Americans
prior to direct contact with non - indigenous peoples. Cite any references used to determine the age of the
resource.
*P7. Owner and Address: Give the name and address of the resource's current owner(s). If the owner is a
government agency, clearly identify the agency by name (not simply "the State of California" or "the federal
government "). You may give the name and address of the managing unit. Enter "unknown' or "withheld by
owner' if appropriate. Ownership information is often required before a historical resource can be listed on
various state and national registers or to meet local recordation requirements.
*P8. Recorded By: Enter the name of the person who prepared the record, indicating their agency or
organizational affiliation, if appropriate, and provide a complete address.
*P9. Date Recorded: Indicate the date the record was prepared.
*P10. Survey I=. Indicate whether the resource was recorded as the result of an intensive survey,
reconnaissance survey, or other activity (e.g., volunteer effort) and describe the purpose of that effort. The
terms "intensive survey" and "reconnaissance survey" are defined for the purposes of this entry in relation to
the Secretary of the Interiors aSt ndards Wd Qidtliaes fa Archeology Md Him Preservation (National
Park Service 1983). Appendix 6 briefly summarizes those definitions and the basic report contents that are .
recommended by the Secretary of the Interior for each type of survey.
*P11, Report Citation: Provide a complete citation for any report or publication documenting the discovery
of the resource, if one has been completed or is under preparation. If no survey report or publication exists or
is planned, enter "none." List the name of the author, date of the report or publication, title, and the name of
the government agency, private finn, university department, publisher, etc that the report was prepared for or
published by.
P*Attachments: Check any forms that are attached to the Primary Record and list any other attachments if
L' appropriate. Check "None" if there are no attachments.
How to Prepare a Location Map
The purpose of the Location Map is to accurately depict the location of the resource on a US. Geological
Survey topographic quadrangle or other government map. The Location Map differs from a Sketch Map in -
that it generally does not depict the internal arrangement of a resource. The only exceptions to this rule are the
Location Maps created for linear resources and districts, which may depict component features and /or
elements. The Location Map is optional for buildings located on small parcels of land in urban areas when an
address is provided.
Provide the name, scale, and publication date of the map(s) used to depict the location of the historical
resource, and include a copy of the appropriate portion(s) of that map or maps on the Location Map record. If
the map has been photorevised, place the date of the revision in parentheses following the original date the
map was published. The OHP recommends using maps published by the government, particularly U.S.
Geological Survey topographic quadrangles (for Waal areas) and Assessor's regional index maps (for urban
areas). Because privately published maps are subject to copyright restrictions, you should check with the OHP
before submitting such materials.
All Location Maps should include a bar scale and north arrow. Accurately plot the shape and location of
the resource on an appropriate map. Very tiny resources may be depicted with a dot, while the exact
configuration of larger resources should be drawn to scale using a heavy black line to indicate the perimeter of
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
the resource. When possible, show the entire alignment of a linear resource, even if only a segment is recorded
in detail. Do not obscure map details by filling in the areas covered by large historical resources solidly.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION
Three recording forms can be used for detailed description and evaluation of all types of historical
resources. Those forms consist of the Building, Structure, and Object (BSO) Record; Archaeological Site
Record; and District Record. Each detailed record builds on the basic information gathered on the Primary
Record, and therefore must be accompanied by that form, and a Location Map (when required), unless
submitted as an update to an existing resource file.
Evaluation is a required field on the BSO Record and District Record, while it is optional on the
Archaeological Site Record. Completing an evaluation involves assessing whether a historical resource meets
defined criteria of significance. The NRHP Criteria for Evaluation are recommended as a uniform standard for
California because they provide a basis for assessing the significance of historical resources at the national,
state, and local levels. As such, they encompass and provide for routine consideration of other applicable state
and local criteria. However, other criteria also may be applied when appropriate. The NRHP Criteria are
provided for reference in Appendix 7.
The significance of a historical resource is best understood and judged in relation to a historic context. A
historic context consists of: a theme, pattern, or research topic; geographic area; and chronological period. The
theme, pattern or research topic provides a basis for evaluating the significance of a resource when it is
defined in relation to established criteria. A historical resource is considered significant, and hence, eligible for
the National Register if it is associated with an important historic context and it retains the integrity of those
characteristics necessary to convey its significance. When considering the integrity of a historical resource it is
appropriate to take into account factors such as location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and
association..
Evaluation requires three basic steps: (1) identification of a significant historic context associated with the
resource; (2) identification of the types of resources important in illundnatmg that context, and the physical
characteristics those resources must possess to reflect the significance of the historic context; and (3) an
assessment of whether the resource_being evaluated has those required physical characteristics (National Park
Service 1990b).
The amount of descriptive and historical information needed to establish whether or not a resource has the
required physical traits necessary to convey its significance will depend on its complexity and type. Normally,
detailed recording forms submitted in conjunction with an intensive survey report (as described in Appendix
6) provide the level of information needed to evaluate most historical resources. However, archaeological sites
often require additional characterization
While anyone can prepare the documentation supporting an evaluation, responsibility for the evaluation
must be taken by persons meeting the Secretary of the Interiors Professional Qualifications Standards
(National Park Service 1983) in a discipline appropriate to the historic context within which the resource is
being considered. In cases where the preparer does not meet the Standards, an OHP- sanctioned reviewer
with appropriate qualifications may assume responsibility for the evaluation. However, to ensure timely
inclusion of an evaluation in the OHP's filing system, submissions prepared by or under the direction of
appropriately qualified professionals are recommended.

Preparing the Building, Structure, and Object Record
The BSO Record can be used to evaluate and present detailed information about buildings, structures, and
objects. The Linear Feature Record may be used as a supplement to the BSO Record when documenting and
evaluating linear structures such as roads, canals, and railroad grades. Detailed instructions for preparing the
BSO Record are provided below. Required information is indicated with a sidebar, an asterisk, and bold
type.
Header Block Enter the Primary Number and HRI Number if known Leave both fields blank if unknowr.
Also be sure to update the header block and subsequent sections of the Primary Record if it was prepared
separately from the BSO Record.
*NRHP Status Code: Enter the appropriate code that best - defines the relationship of the resource to the
National Register using the list in Appendix 2. Use the lowest initial number if more than one applies. For
example, if a resource can be rated both 3S and 5D1, put 3S. -
*Resource Name or #: Enter the same name or number used in this field on the Primary Record. The
identifier can be a historic or common name, parcel number, or any other designator which will consistently
j) refer to the resource and link the pages of your record together.
B1. Historic Name Enter the historic name of the resource if known. A historic name may be either the
formal name for the resource during its period of significance, or a name closely associated with its
significance. The historic name may refer to: the builder, designer, or historic owner(s); significant persons or
events connected with the resource; original or later uses of the resource; or accepted professional, scientific,
technical, or traditional names.
B2. Common Name: Enter the common or presently used name for the resource. If documenting a single
family dwelling, use current owner's name only if local residents strongly associate the house with that owner.
If historic and common names are identical, enter "same." If the resource has no common name,'enter "none."
133. Original Use: Enter the original use(s) of the building, structure, or object
B4. Present Use Identify the present use(s) of the building, structure, or object Other past uses may be
described in Field B10 (Significance) below.
*135. Architectural Style Use standard architectural terminology to describe the style or construction type of
buildings if applicable. If necessary, combine terms to describe the style (e.g. "Classical Revival with
Craftsman elements "). See National Regi2ter Bulletin 16A (National Park Service 1991), Blumenson (1981),
McAlester and McAlester (1984), City of Oakland (1978), and Whiffen (1969) for suggested stylistic
terminology. See Sources of Additional Information for complete citations of these publications.
*136. Construction History: List alterations to the resource which substantially affect its architectural integrity.
Be as specific as possible. For example, put "aluminum sliders" rather than merely "windows." Add the
s date(s) of the alterations if known.
t*137. Moved ?: Check whether or not the resource has been moved and give the date of the move, if known
Include any information you may have on the original location of the resource.
*138. Related Features: List other important features on the resource. Such features might include: barns,
carriage houses, garages, outhouses, sheds, windmills, water towers, hitching posts, fences, walls, unusual
curbs or sidewalks, formal gardens, prominent or unusual trees, and expansive lawns. Do not include other
major historical resources that merit separate documentation.
139a. Architect If appropriate, enter the name of the architect, architectural firm, pattern book, engineer, artist,
landscape architect, or planner responsible for designing the building, structure, or object. If the resource was
10
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
not professionally designed, as in the case of a house constructed by an owner /builder, put "none." if no
information about the designer was found, enter "unknown." r -
B9b. Builder. In the space provided for "Builder," enter the name of the person or fine actually responsible for
construction. Do not put the name of someone who merely commissioned the work. If no information was
found, enter "unknown."
*1110. Significance: Resources are generally evaluated using a historic context —an organizational format,
which groups information about related historical resources based on theme, geographic limits, and
chronological period. The information provided in this field should describe why the resource is significant
within a relevant historic context _.
Begin by identifying the historic "theme" —the subject or topic of historical study. Examples include
"Commercial Development," "Citrus Industry," "River Transportation," "Residential Architecture," etc. For
"area' put the locale in which the events covered by the theme occurred. Usually the area is the city or town
being surveyed; however, there may be exceptions where contemporary boundaries do not coincide with '
historical boundaries. The area also might be a county, a part of a town, or a place defined by a topographical
feature. '
"Period of significance" refers to a chronological period as it relates to the historic context, and is defined as a
year or range of years eg., Commercial Development in Bakersfield, 1896- 1941). For "property type" enter the
specific type of resource that is being evaluated within the historic context. For example, the context '
"Commercial Development in Bakersfield, 1896-1941" may have retail stores and office buildings as associated
property types. A form documenting the Woolworth Building in downtown Bakersfield would list "retail
store" for the property type. 'In the space marked "applicable criteria" enter the letter(s) of the National
Register (or other) criterion or criteria in which the resource is being evaluated. Put "N /A" if the resource is
evaluated as ineligible for the National Register.
The statement of significance should explain why the resource is important in relation to its historic context(s).
Make the strongest possible case using historical and /or architectural analysis as appropriate. Compare the
resource with others that belong to the same property type and relate to the same historic context Include an
analysis of the integrity of the resource. Additional information about the resource may be included even if it
is not specifically related to the context identified, to the extent that it will help establish the significance of the
"esource.
Bll. Additional R source Attributes: The historic attributes of the resource refer to its characteristics at the
time it gained significance Choose up to six numbers from the list of Resource Attribute Codes in Appendix 4.
Enter each number, two dashes, and a brief description, cg., "(3)—Duplex" or "(14)— Library." If more than one
number is needed, the description may follow the numbers, e.g., "(12), (44)— YWCA."
*B12. References: List any documents and style books used to discover information about the resource.
Include page numbers and dates of publication. Also list oral interviews, including the name of the person
interviewed and the date of the interview. You may abbreviate as necessary, but don't merely cite a general
bibliography available elsewhere.
1113. Remarks: Include information about zoning, threats to the resource, previous surveys, and other relevant
information in this data field, as appropriate.
*1114. Evaluator and Date of Evaluation: Enter the name of the person who made the evaluation reflected in'
the "NRHP Status Code" field and indicate the date the evaluation was completed. If two or more people
concurred in the evaluation, provide the name of the individual who meets the Secretary's Standards in the
appropriate discipline. If a resume for the evaluator is not on file with the OHP or the appropriate regional
Information Center listed (in Appendix 8), one should accompany the record (or should be included in ari
accompanying report).
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
*Sketch Map: Draw or paste in a Sketch Map of the resource and any associated features discussed in Field B8
(Related Features) above. This Sketch Map is required regardless of whether or not a Location Map is also
needed. The Sketch Map need not be drawn to scale, but must include a north arrow. Name or otherwise
identify important features associated with the resource. In urban areas, and where possible in rural areas,
identify the nearest intersection; otherwise, show roads (with names), buildings, rivers, railroad tracks, and
other features that may help others locate the resource. If the resource's boundaries are other than parcel
boundaries, indicate as such. Do not use this space merely to ate a map located elsewhere.
Svace Reserved 19i Official Comments: Leave this space blank. Provide comparable space on computer -
generated forms.
Preparing the Archaeological Site Record
The Archaeological Site Record can be used to record detailed descriptive information about most
historical resources classified by the National Register as sites. The Archaeological Site Record was specifically
developed to accommodate the documentation of both prehistoric and historic sites. As such, it includes a
number of data fields essential for recording certain types of sites, but irrelevant for the documentation of
others. The Archaeological Site Record must be accompanied by a detailed Sketch Map.
Several specialized recording forms have been developed as optional attachments to the Archaeological
Site Record. They include: the Linear Feature Record; Milling Station Record; Rock Art Record; and Artifact
Record. Instructions for preparing those optional attachments are provided later in this manual. Detailed
instructions for preparing the Archaeological Site Record are given below. Required information is indicated
with a sidebar, asterisk, and bold type.
Header Block Enter the Primary # and /or Trinomial Number if known. Leave both fields blank if unknown.
Also be sure to update the header block and subsequent sections of the Primary Record if the Archaeological
Site Record was prepared separately.
*Resource Name or #: Enter the same name or number used in this field on the Primary Record The
identifier can be a historic or common name, parcel number, or any other designator which will consistently
refer to the resource and link the pages of your record together. - - — -
•Al. Dimensions: Enter the length and width of the site, describe the units of measurement, and indicate
how the dimensions were determined. All sites with prehistoric components must be measured in meters,
while the use of other appropriate units of measurement are acceptable for sites with historic components. The
overall dimensions of multi- component sites should be measured in meters, with other units of measurement
used to supplement the description of historic features where appropriate. State the orientation of the
measurements in the space between parentheses using one of the four basic compass lines. Also provide the
following information about how you defined those limits:
I Method of Measurement: Check the box that defines how length and width measurements were made
and describe any other methods used.
Method of Determination: Check factors employed to determine the site boundary including. the
distribution of artifacts and features; diminishing densitites of cultural materials; changes in soil color or
type; distinctive vegetation or topography; cultural materials visible in cut banks, animal burrows, or as
the result of test excavation; the recognition of a historic property boundary; and other means. Provide a
brief explanation of any other means used to determine the site boundaries. While it may not be possible
to define absolute boundaries for a resource based on surface inspection, a clear justification should be
offered for how you have defined the site's boundaries.
Reliability of Boundary Determination: Estimate how reliable the boundary determination is and check
the appropriate box. Explain as necessary. _
12
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
Limitations: Check any factors that hindered accurate determination of the extent of the site and explain
any additional limitations you noted.
A2. lLepth : Enter the depth of the archaeological deposit(s) present at the site, if any. An estimate of depth is
acceptable as long as the rationale for that guess is explained. Leave the space after "depth" blank and check
unknown" if there is uncertainty about the site's depth. Enter "surface" on the line following "depth" and .
check "none" if there is no depth to the deposit, and indicate how this was determined.
W. Human Remains: Record the presence or absence of any human remains observed on the site by
marking the appropriate box. Indicate the quantity, condition, and location of any observed remains in the
space after "explain." The location of observed human remains should be depicted on the detailed sketch map.
If any osteological material has been removed from a site, identify where it is curated or to whom it was
transferred for reinterment or analysis.
"A4. Features: Assign a number to every feature present on a site, show its location on the detailed sketch
map, and describe the feature and any cultural constituents associated with it If no features were observed,
enter "none " or "none observed."
The description of each feature should identify, where possible, the type of feature; its age, function, size, and
condition; the nature of any associated archaeological deposits and cultural constituents; and any other
pertinent details. Cultural constituents that are associated with or found near a feature should be described as
an aspect of that feature, rather than in the general list of constituents entered in Field A6 (Cultural
Constituents). List, briefly describe, and discuss the chronological implications of all cultural constituents
associated with each feature, or a meaningful sample of them.
Information about the numbers and types of bedrock milling features and rock art features should be briefly
summarized in this field. Such features also may be recorded in greater detail on a Milling Station Record or
Rock Art Record if appropriate.
'AS. Cultural Constituents: List, briefly describe, and discuss the chronological implications of all cultural
constituents not associated with features of the site. Constituents that are associated with features should be
described in Field A4 above. Cultural constituents encompass all artifacts, ecofacts, and other residues of
human activities. Provide a complete inventory of observed constituents when they occur in small quantities.
Describe the types of materials present and estimate their relative abundance for sites with large amounts of —
cultural material, taking care to identify any temporally diagnostic remains.
•A6. Were Specimens Collected? Check whether or not any specimens were collected during the field visit
that led to the preparation of the Archaeological Site Record. If any materials were collected, attach an Artifact
Record or a catalog contacting comparable information and show the locations where the specimens were
collected as specific points or collection units on the detailed Sketch Map. Be sure to indicate where the
specimens are curated. Please note that specimens should only be collected under the auspices of a
legitimate scientific study and with the permission of the landowner.
*A7. Site Condition: Indicate the relative condition of the site as a whole by checking "good," "fair," or "poor,"
and describe existing alterations and /or disturbances of the resource, its major features, and its setting.
Indicate the degree of disturbance and the agents that caused that disturbance. Consider whether the site
retains integrity of setting, feeling, association, workmanship, design, materials, and location.
*AS. Nearest Water. Enter the name, type (if not specified in the name), seasonal availability, distance, and
direction (from the site datum or site boundary closest to water source) to the nearest natural fresh water
source or probable former source (for prehistoric sites) or historic source (for historic sites occupied after that
source was created). If the nearest water cannot be determined, enter "unknown"
I *A9. Elevation: Enter the elevation or range of elevations for the site in meters or feet and describe how those
13
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
measurements were determined (e.g., altimeter, interpreted from map, etc.).
A10. Environmental Setting: Briefly describe the present vegetation zone, plants, animals, soils, geology,
landforms, slope, aspect, exposure, and other environmental characteristics of the site and its vicinity to the
extent that such conditions are relevant to understanding the site and its importance.
All. Historical Information: Briefly summarize information gathered from reports, publications, historic
documents, and oral interviews. In cases where historic materials are present, but no documentary or
testimonial evidence was found, state that the historic use is unknown Indicate where information about the
resource was sought, even if the results were negative. Use a Continuation Sheet to attach historic maps
and /or photographs if appropriate.
2 A e: Check any categories that apply to the site and explain the evidence used to determine the
period(s) during which it was occupied. More than one box should be checked for sites used, however
intermittently, during more than one period. For prehistoric sites, describe any evidence that can be used to
infer the site's position in a regional prehistoric chronological sequence where possible. The protohistoric
check box should be marked if a site was occupied by Native Americans during the historic period, as
determined from historic accounts and /or the presence of materials introduced by non -native peoples.
Specific dates of occupation or site use should be identified for other types of historic archaeological sites when
known.
A13. In=retations: Provide information concerning any interpretations made for the site and discuss the
evidence used to substantiate them. Possible interpretive categories include: site function, demographic
observations, cultural ecology, research or scientific value, and ethnographic/cultural affilitations. While the
observations discussed here may or may not be sufficiently detailed to constitute an evaluation, they should
provide data helpful for planning the evaluation and treatment of the site. This field may be used to present a
full historic context statement and evaluation of a site, if desired.
A14. Remarks: This field may be used to note additional information that doesn't readily fit elsewhere on this
form. It may be useful to discuss the history of previous studies at a site, threats to the resource, or other data.
A15. References: List persons interviewed and documents used to discover information about the property.
Enter "none" if no information was sought. Provide a complete citation for each document, sufficient for
others to locate it. Identify persons interviewed by their full name, address (if permitted by the interviewee),
and the date of the interview.
A16. Photographs: This field should be used to record any photographs or other recorded images taken
during the documentation of the site. A Photograph Record can be attached to the Archaeological Site Record
as an alternative to completing this field. If no images were taken, enter "none." Photographic documentation
is strongly recommended for every site. Photographs should be placed on a Continuation Sheet and labeled.
'A17. Form Prepared By. Date. and Affiliation and Address: Provide this information only if it differs from
5 that given in Fields P8 and P9 on the Primary Record.
"Sketch Map A detailed Sketch Map must accompany every Archaeological Site Record. The Sketch Map
" should accurately depict the details of the site in its immediate environmental setting, providing sufficient
detail to allow a person unfamiliar with the resource to recognize it. The Sketch Map should be drawn to
scale. It must include: a datum point or points; site boundary; north arrow (labeled either "magnetic" or
"true "); bar scale; the plotted locations of features, collecr -d specimens, units, and other materials (if present);
and a legend.
c:
The site datum should be a relatively permanent natural or cultural feature. All features should be plotted
accurately in correct relation to each other and the datum. Relevant information about the natural and cultural
setting of the site should also be depicted. It is acceptable to estimate the locations of such natural features.

January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
Preparing the District Record
Districts consist of a significant concentration or continuity of associated historical resources. Districts may
be recognized and documented at the time a survey is conducted, or they may become apparent only after
several survey efforts reveal the historical relationships among the individually recorded resources in a given
geographic region The District Record provides a vehicle for documenting the linkages among individual
resources in both situations. Because the recognition of a district hinges on an understanding of its historic
context, evaluation is required on the District Record.
A Primary Record, Location Map, and District Record are needed to document the district as a whole.
Minimally, every component or element of the district is then documented separately on a Primary Record. In
some cases, it may be appropriate to prepare additional documentation of district components when those
elements appear to be individually significant as well.
Minor features such as landscaping, fences, curbing, prospect pits, and widely dispersed archaeological
materials need not be separately recorded if they are adequately described in Field D3 (Detailed Description)
on the District Record. Detailed instructions are provided below for filling out the District Record. Required
data fields are indicated with a sidebar, asterisk, and boldface type.
Header Block Enter the Primary and /or HRI # and /or Trinomial if known Leave blank if they are not
known. Also be sure to update the header block and subsequent sections of the Primary Record if it was
prepared at a different time than the District Record.
*NRHP Status Code: Enter the appropriate code that best - defines the relationship of the district to the
National Register using the list in Appendix 2. Note that districts themselves are given "S" ratings, while their
contributors are assigned "D" ratings. For example, a district found eligible for the National Register is rated
"3S," while the district's contributors are rated "3D."
Resource Name or A Enter the same name or number used in this field on the Primary Record. The identifier
can be a historic or common name, parcel number, or any other designator which will consistently refer to the
,, resource and link the pages of your record together.
Dl. Historic Name: Enter the historic name of the district if applicable. A historic name may be either the
formal name for the resource during its period of significance, or a name closely associated with its
significance. The historic name might also refer to accepted professional, scientific, technical, or traditional
names.
D2. Common Name: Enter the common or presently used name for the district If historic and common
names are identical, enter "same." If the resource has no common name, enter "none," or enter a brief
description such as "500 -700 block of Maple Street."
'D3. Detailed Description Provide a detailed description of the district, making sure to address the
9 characteristics that give coherence to the area. Describe the nature and severity of any intrusions and
disturbances. Mention design features, vegetation, and other relevant factors. List every resource
i documented separately as an element of the district Identify each element by property type and indicate
whether or not that element contributes to the significance of the historic context used to evaluate the district. .
This information may be included in the description itself, or as a separate entry on a Continuation Sheet
Addresses should be given for all buildings and structures in a district, when applicable. Other resources may
be listed by type and Primary Number, Trinomial, HRI Number, and /or a resource identifier such as a historic
name or temporary designation Some minor features of a district such as plantings, mining prospect pits,
fences, and curbing need not be separately recorded on individual recording forms if they are adequately
described in this field.
I
At least two 5 "x7 black and white photographs of representative streetscapes or other overall views must be
included with the District Record. Describe the subject, view, and date the photograph was taken on a label

and affix it to the back of the print. Place the print in a clear polyethylene or polypropylene envelope and affix
the envelope to a Continuation Sheet using archivally stable transparent tape.
'D4. Boundary Description: District boundaries may be described either in a narrative fashion, or by
entering the measurements of the maximum length and width of the resource, as appropriate. Narrative
entries may use street names, property lines, geographical features, or other lines of convenience. When
} dimensions are given, indicate the units of measurement and describe the method used to obtain those
measurements (e.g., taped, paced, extrapolated from map, etc.). The boundaries of the district should be
clearly depicted on a Location Map, and where appropriate, on a Sketch Map as well.
*D5. Boundary Tustification: Provide a concise explanation asto how the boundaries of the district were
determined, taking into account the property's significant elements, setting, integrity, and historical
importance. Boundaries should encompass, but not exceed, the extent of the significant resources and land
area that contribute to the importance of the district.
*D6. Significance: The statement of significance should summarize the importance of the district in terms of
its historic context, as defined by theme, period of significance, and geographic scope. The importance of
each individual element of the district should be addressed in the separate records prepared for each
contributing resource. Consider as contributors only those resources that convey the significance of the
district. A Primary Record and a Location Map (when required) should be prepared for each contributor.
Ancillary features of contributing elements need only be described as related features on those individual
records. Minor-features and Non - contributing elements of the district may be recorded with a Primary Record
and Location Map (when required), or simply described in Field D3 above.
Begin by identifying the historic "theme" —the subject or topic of study. Examples include "Commercial
Development," "Railroad Logging," "Water Conveyance Systems," "Prehistoric Obsidian Quarry Exploitation,"
"Historic Mining Camps," etc. Next, identify the geographic scope in the space following "area." The
geographic scope is the locale in which the events covered by the theme occurred. The scope could be a city,
county, or region; or it could also encompass an entire state or the nation. Then enter the "period of
significance," which refer; to the chronological period identified in the historic context and is defined by a year
or range of years (e.g., Railroad Logging in Sierra Nevada Region, 1890-1940). In the space marked "applicable
criteria" enter the letter(s) of the National Register (or other) criterion or criteria found applicable to the district
as a whole. Put 'N/A" if the resource is evaluated as ineligible for the NRHP. - —
f The statement of significance should explain why the resource is important in relation to its historic context(s).
Make the strongest possible case using historical, architectural, archaeological, and /or other analyses as
appropriate. Compare the district with others that encompass the same property type(s) and relate to the
same historic theme. Include an analysis of the integrity of the district, taking into consideration whether or
s not it retains integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, association, and setting. Also
indicate whether the district and its elements remain in use or have been abandoned. Additional information
about the district may be included even if it is not specifically related to the context identified, to the extent
g that it will help establish the significance of the resource.
*D7. References: List the documents that were used to discover information about the district. Include oral
8 interviews, noting the name of persons interviewed, the date of the interview, and the address of the
interviewee when possible. Provide a complete citation for each.document, sufficient to locate it. Also provide
a complete citation for any report or publication documenting the discovery of the resource. The report
citation should list the name of the author, date of the report or publication, title, and the name of the
government agency, private firm, university department, publisher, etc that the report was prepared for or
published by.
*D8. Evaluator/Date /Affiliation and Address: Give the name, address, and organizational affiliation of the
person responsible for evaluating the significance of the district and enter the date the evaluation was
completed. If two or more people concurred in the evaluation, provide the name of the individual who meets
the Secretary's Standards in the appropriate discipline. A resume for the evaluator should accompany the
16
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
District Record (or a report submitted with it) if it is not already on file with the OHP or the appropriate
regional Information Center listed in Appendix 8.
Sketch lIg: A detailed Sketch Map is required when the layout and details of the district cannot be clearly
conveyed on a Location Map due to the compactness of its elements. Sketch Maps should be drawn to scale
and must include: the boundary of the district; a north arrow; a bar scale, the plotted locations of all features
and /or elements; and a legend. It is also helpful to include information about the environmental setting of the
district For urban building surveys, a parcel map may be used to create the Sketch Map. It should include all
of the items mentioned above and clearly indicate the names of all streets included within the district.
PREPARING OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
Six additional forms have been designed as supporting attachments for the records discussed above. They
include a Linear Feature Record (DPR 523E), Milling Station Record (DPR 523F), Rock Art Record (DPR 523G),
Artifact Record (DPR 523H), and Photogragh Record (DPR 5231), and Continuation Sheet (DPR 523L).
Instructions are provided below for filling out each form.
Linear Feature Record
The Linear Feature Record can be used to supplement both minimal or detailed recordation of prehistoric
and historic linear structures and sites. Linear features are taken to include most long, narrow constructed
works classified by the NRHP as structures, as well as trails and the ruins of linear struchres (which are
classified as sites). The Linear Feature Record may be used for documenting linear features in their entirety,
segments of such resources, or observations made at a particular point along a linear feature.
When preparing the initial record for a linear feature or segment of one, the nature of the entire resource
should be described on the Primary Record in Field Pia. Refer to the instructions for Field Pia for the kinds of
information that should be included in the overall description of a linear feature. Detailed instructions for
preparing the Linear Feature Record are provided below. The Linear Feature Record can be used to gather
purely descriptive information about a linear resource, or it can serve as an adjunct to a formal evaluation .
documented on a BSO Record, District Record, or in a suitably detailed evaluation report
Header Block: Enter the Primary Number, HRI Number, and /or Trinomial Number if known. Leave these
fields blank if unknown. Also be sure to update the header block and subsequent sections of the Primary
Record if it was prepared at a different time than the Linear Feature Record.
U. Historic and /or Com_+*+on Name: Enter the historic and /or common name of the resource if known. A
historic name may be either the formal name for the resource during its period of significance, or a name
closely associated with its significance. The historic name may refer to: the builder, designer, or historic
owner(s); significant persons or events connected with the resource; original or later uses of the resource; or
accepted professional, scientific, technical, or traditional names. A common or presently used name for the .
resource may be provided if one is known. If historic and common names are identical, enter "same." If the
resource has no historic or common name, enter "none."
12a. Portion Described: Check whether the record is for an entire linear feature, a segment of one, or a point
observation along a linear feature. When recording a segment or point along a linear feature, provide a field
designation for that portion or point and depict its location on a Location Map.
L2b— Location of Pont or SPg=: If you are preparing a Linear Feature Record for a segment of a linear
feature or a point along one provide UTM coordinates, a legal description, and any other locational
information that will help identify the specific location you are documenting.
17
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
13. Deaad lion: Provide information about the construction techniques, configuration of, and materials used
to construct the linear feature and describe any features, artifacts and /or archaeological sites /deposits that
may be associated with it. Provide plans, sections, or other drawings as appropriate. The observations made
in this section should not duplicate information provided in Field P3a (Description) on the Primary Record. If
a Linear Feature Record is prepared for an entire linear feature, this field may be used to supplement
information provided on the Primary Record. When this record is used to describe a particular segment or
point along a linear feature, this field should be used to define the specific details observed in that location.
Describe in detail each cultural feature associated with the linear resource. Number or otherwise designate
each feature and plot its location on a Location Map and /or a detailed Sketch Map. If no features are
observed, indicate that finding. The features of a linear resource generally consist of components integral to
the operation and proper functioning of that resource, rather than to resource elements like a ditch tender's
camp or railroad depot which may be associated with a ditch or railroad grade as components of a district, yet
require separate documentation as major resource elements (see Field LS below). Some examples of the
features of various kinds of linear resources include:
Roads: retaining walls, culverts, and tunnels
Ditches: siphons, flumes, spillgates, and gate valves
Trails: blazes, cairns, and paving
Railroad grades: through cuts, sidings, retaining walls, and trestles
The description of a feature should include information about its construction details, dimensions, and any
artifacts found near the feature. Plans, cross - sections, and elevations may be appended to the record if
appropriate. Feature descriptions should include information about the brand names and patent numbers
recorded on machinery.
L4 Dimensions: Enter the dimensions of the linear feature at a specific observation point, segment, or along
the entire resource, or indicate the range of variations in those dimensions. Also provide a scaled cross -
sectional sketch in Field L4e and define the length of the segment you are recording when only a portion of a
resource is recorded. All dimensions should be in feet for historic features and metric units for prehistoric
features. Indicate how that dimension was determined (e.g., taped, estimated, etc.).
1.4a. Top Width: Enter the width of the linear feature at its highest point and indicate the unit of
measurement. For water delivery systems such as ditches and canals, the top width should be measured
at the crest of the berm(s) or wall(s). Record more than one width or a range of widths if appropriate. For
example, a single water delivery system may be composed of a flume, earthen ditch, and concrete canal
that each have different top widths.
L4b. Bottom Width: Provide a width for the base of the feature, or provide a range of widths if
appropriate.
L4c. Heig t or the Enter the maximum depth or height of the resource if applicable, or indicate
variation in that dimension along the length of the linear feature or segment thereof. If the depth/height
of a linear feature has been modified (e.g., siltation of ditch), that fact should be noted
Lod. Segment Length: Enter the overall length of the segment of the resource being recorded and indicate
the unit of measurement. The length of the entire resource should be given in Field P3 on the Primary
Record, if known, and should be repeated here if you record an entire linear resource. Define where
dimensions were measured from (e.g., "from intake structure at dam to junction with Columbia Ditch ")
and note whether observation, extrapolation from maps, or direct measurement led to the determination.
L4e. Sketch of Cross Section: Use the space provided to draw a representative scaled cross section of the
linear feature and indicate what direction the drawing faces. Show the location of the drawn cross section
on the Location Map prepared to accompany the Linear Feature Record.

LS. Associated R o irces: List previously recorded resources that are historically associated with the use of
the linear resource and provide a Primary Number, Trinomial, and /or HRI Number of each resource, if
known. Refer to a resource identifier such as a historic name in cases where a Primary Number is unknown or
remains to be assigned. Associated resources that have not yet been recorded can also be mentioned.
However, their existence should be stated as "unknown" if they have not been examined.
Wig: This field may be used to provide a general description of the natural or physical environment of
the linear feature in cases where that setting contributes to the significance of the resourceor appreciation of it.
Information in this category may include descriptions of natural features, landscape characteristics, slope,
vegetation, and so forth For example, it may be important to describe the flora associated with a trail that
connects a series of meadows in a forested region or the geology and terrain of a flume hung from the wall of a
canyon.
T 7. nt gdty Considerations- describe any existing alterations of the resource and its setting, focusing on
whether or not it retains historic integrity in terms of setting, feeling, association, workmanship, design,
materials, and location Indicate whether it remains in use or has been abandoned. Provide an estimate of the
proportion of the resource that has been destroyed or modified, where possible.
L8. Photograph, Map, or Drawing and Description This space may be used for additional graphic
documentation of the linear resource at the discretion of the recorder.
L9. E=a This field can be used to present further historical information about the resource, discuss
previous efforts to document it, and offer other information that does not fit elsewhere on this form.
L10. Form Prepared Bry Provide this information only if it differs from that given in Fields P9 and P10 on the
Primary Record.
1.11, Da , Enter the date this record was prepared.
Sketch Maj2: A Location Map can often be used to depict the portion of a linear resource that has been
documented, its features, and the location of cross section drawings, photographs, or other graphic
documentation For particularly complex linear resources, however, a detailed Sketch Map is recommended.
Sketch Maps should generally be drawn to scale, and must include a north arrow and bar scale.
Milling Station Record
The Mulling Station Record may be used to provide a detailed record of one or more bedrock milling
stations and any associated artifacts. A bedrock milling station is defined as a non - portable bedrock outcrop
or boulder with surfaces and /or depressions ground into it for purposes of milling. The Milling station
Record is an optional form. It is designed to supplement the information in an Archaeological Site Record, not
to eliminate the need for its preparation. Professional surveys conducted in advance of development activities
should generally prepare a Primary Record, Location Map, and Archaeological Site Record when a site with a
milling station(s) is encountered. Additional information can then be collected on a Milling Station Record if
desirable.
Identify each separate bedrock outcrop with evidence of milling activities (milling station) as a numbered
feature of a site. The location of each outcrop (milling feature) should be depicted on the sketch map of the
site, with the total number of milling surfaces at that feature listed by type in Field AS (Features) on the
Archaeological Site Record. The dimensions, rock type, and overall condition of each milling station should be
provided in the upper portion of the Milling Station Record, along with the resource name or number listed in
the Primary Record and the name of the person who prepared the record.
Give the dimensions of each milling station in metric units. Each dimension should be for the maximum
extent of the bedrock outcrop or boulder on which milling activities occurred. The height should be measured
19
o c
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
as the maximum distance from the ground to the highest point on the bedrock outcrop. Outcrops partially -
covered with archaeological deposits should not be excavated to obtain measurements unless that excavation
is part of a professional archaeological testing program.
Appropriate information should then be entered in the lower portion of the Milling Station Record for
each of the individual milling surfaces observed on a culturally modified bedrock outcrop. Spaces are
provided for the feature number (milling station number), milling surface number (element of an individual
milling station), type, dimensions, depth, contents, and remarks. Use the keys at the bottom of the record for
abbreviations of the types of features and their contents.
Dimensions for the individual milling surfaces present on a milling station should be measured with a
tape in centimeters as the maximum length, width, and depth of the culturally modified (e.g., pecked and /or
ground) bedrock. Use a straight edge laid across the rim of each milling surface to measure its maximum
depth. The "Remarks" column can be used to record a variety of information such as wear patterns, surface
residues, shape, configuration and condition of the culturally modified surfaces, and the presence of any
associated artifacts on the outcrop /milling station.
Prepare a plan of each milting station on a Continuation Sheet, showing the size and shape of the bedrock
outcrop and the relative locations of the individual milling surfaces. The plan should include: a north arrow
(marked true or magnetic); distances between the individual milling surfaces on the outcrop; and a bearing
and distance to a site datum. It is often helpful to include other details on the plan like vegetation, height
above ground, and associated artifacts. If a milling station plan is drawn to scale and indiides a bar scale, it is
not necessary to indicate distance between the individual surfaces on the outcrop.
Rock Art Record
The Rock Art Record may be used to record detailed information about an individual rock art feature.
Rock Art is defined as any non - portable bedrock outcrop, boulder, cave wall, or other rock surface
intentionally modified by pecking, scraping, grinding, and /or the application of pigment to form a graphic
design/image. The Rods Art Record is an optional form. It is designed to supplement the information in an
Archaeological Site Record, not to eliminate the need for its preparation. Professional surveys conducted in
advance of development activities should generally prepare a Primary Record, Location Map, and
Archaeological Site Record when a site with a rock art features) is encountered. Additional information can
then be collected on a Rock Art Record if desirable.
Identify each separate bedrock outcrop or boulder with rock art on it and assign a number to the rock art
panel that corresponds with its designation as a feature of a site. The location of each rock art panel (feature)
should be depicted on the sketch map of the site and briefly described in Field AS (Features) on the
Archaeological Site Record. Use the following instructions to complete the Rock Art Record.
Header Block: Enter the Primary and /or Trinomial Numbers if known. Leave both fields blank if unknown.
Resource Name or # Enter the same name or number used in this field on the Primary Record. The identifier
can be a historic or common name, parcel number, or any other designator which will consistently refer to the
resource and link the pages of your record together.
Rl. Feature /Panel #: Identify the number assigned to the feature and indicate how many total rock art panels
are present at the site after the word "of."
R2. Feature /Panel Location: Enter the distance and azimuth from a site datum to a designated position on the
rock art panel or feature, as shown on a plan. If the site datum is a point within the rock art, so indicate. Also
check whether the rock art was found on a cliff face, boulder, bedrock outcrop, cave /rodkshelter surface, or
other location, and describe any other kinds of locations.

R3. Host Surface: Describe the type of rock or other host surface on which the rock art panel or feature
appears and identify the color of that surfacee rock outcrop and rock art images.
R4. Host Back nd: Check any characteristics that pertain to the background surface of the host rock or
ground surface including patination, painting, glacial polish, smoke blackening, lack of natural alteration
("natural'), and other surface conditions. Provide an explanation if you check "other."
R5. Detailed Description of F a /P nel: Check whether the feature consists of petroglyphs, pictographs, a
geoglyph, or a combination of such elements, and then describe the size of the feature and host rock outcrop or
ground surface, number and types of elements or stylistic motifs, method of production, color of motif and
other relevant descriptive details. All measurements should be taped in metric units.

the rock art panel.
R14. Form Prepared By nd Da : Supply the name of the recorder and the date this record was prepared
only if it differs from the information supplied on the Primary Record.
Sketch of Rock Art Panel /F a +re: Sketch the panel on a Continuation Sheet, showing the size and shape of
the bedrock outcrop and the relative locations of the individual elements /motifs on that outcrop. The sketch
should generally be drawn to scale, including at the minimum a north arrow (marked true or magnetic); bar
scale; and a bearing and distance to a site datum. Include other details, such as vegetation, height above
ground, associated artifacts, and distance to a road or trail, if relevant. A photograph of the rock art panel is
also recommended as an attachment.
Artifact Record
The Artifact Record may be used to record information about any specimens observed and /or collected at
an archaeological site. Information comparable to that requested on the Artifact Record is required when any
specimens are collected from a site. The Artifact Record is also useful for listing any diagnostic materials that
are noted, but not collected. When used as supporting documentation, the Artifact Record may provide
details that require only summary description in Field AS (Features) or Field A6 (Cultural Constituents) on the
Archaeological Site Record.
21
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources January 1995
Begin by listing the Primary Number and Trinomial, if known. Then repeat the resource name or number
listed on the Primary Record. Describe where any collected specimens are curated, giving the name of the
institution and its address. Provide the artifact /specimen number (field designation or accession number),
type, condition, description (form, material, etc.), dimensions, and provenience. The location of the specimen
may be a collection unit or azimuth and distance from site datum. Show each location on a Sketch Map and
indicate whether the specimen was drawn or photographed and if it was collected.
Photograph Record
The Photograph Record may be used to record information about any type of photographic images
prepared as a record of a historical resource. It may be used in conjunction with any of the other records
described in this manual. It is designed to identify images taken as still photographs, filmed or taped movies,
aerial photographs, etc, and to provide technical details relating to the capture of those images. _
Begin by providing the name of the project. List the resource name or number for each resource in the
"Subject /Description" column for individual exposures. Spaces are provided for camera format, lens focal
length, film type and speed, year, media repository, date, time, exposure /frame number, subject, view toward,
and accession number (if any). It also may be helpful to identify the places where photographs are taken on a
sketch map of a resource.
Continuation Sheet
The Continuation Sheet is a general form that can be used for a variety of purposes including the
presentation of: (1) continued text; (2) feature and artifact illustrations; (3) photographic prints; (4) historic
maps; and (5) updating the information from a prior survey effort. Every Continuation Sheet must provide the
resource name or number as it appears on the Primary Record for the resource, the name of the recorder, and
the date the record was prepared. Continued information should be clearly referenced with the number and
name of data field it relates to. Graphics should be labeled to indicate their subjects, view, scale, and sources
as appropriate. The source of all historic photographs, maps, or drawing should be identified.
UPDATING INFORMATION ABOUT A RESOURCE
As a planning tool, it is important that information about historical resources is regularly updated to
ensure its accuracy. Updates may amplify or correct information about a resource, or simply confirm that the
existing record remains accurate at the time of a subsequent field examination. The documentation for a
historical resource should be updated under the following conditions:
• When it is reevaluated;
• When changes occur to the resource or its setting;
• When erroneous information needs correcting; and /or
• When additional information is necessary for planning decisions.
Information about a resource may be updated in two ways, depending on the extent of the changes
and /or additions to the original record. If only minor changes or additions to an existing record are required,
then a Continuation Sheet can be used to augment selected data fields, as appropriate. Minor updates also
may be prepared to verify that existing information about a resource remains accurate. Such updates should
list the "resource identifier" from Field P1 on the Primary Record; date of field visit; name, affiliation (if any),
and address of the person preparing the update; and the number and name of any data fields where additional
observations are made. Also provide the HM Number and /or Trinomial, if known.
The resource should be completely rerecorded in cases where substantial changes are required to an
existing record. The recorder should use good judgment in determining which approach to take when
22
January 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
preparing an update. Any corrections of a previous record should be clearly explained and justified. If the
boundaries of a previously recorded historical resource are modified, provide a justification for the change and
prepare a new Location Map and /or Sketch Map as required. Full citations should be provided for any new
studies of a resource, in order to update Field P11 (Report Citation) on the Primary Record. A copy of the .
report(s) should accompany or follow the submitted update.

APPENDIX 2: NRHP STATUS CODES
This appendix explains the use of the codes that should be entered in the 'NRHP Status Code' field in the header
Of the Primary Record when an evaluation of a historical resource is completed. The codes found here represent a
short list of the most frequently used status determinations, selected from a more extensive list that is available from
the OHP on request. Be sure to read the entire list before deciding which code to use. Take special care that
evaluations for districts and their components fit together properly. Note that districts'themselves are given "S"
ratings, while contributors receive "D" ratings. Thus, a district judged eligible for the National Register is rated "3S,-
but the district's contributors are rated "3D."
The initial number in a code indicates the general status:
I. Listed in the National Register.
2. Determined eligible for the National Register in a formal process involving federal agencies.
3. Appears eligible for listing in the National Register in the judgment of the person(s) completing or reviewing the
form.
4. Might become eligible for listing.
5. Ineligible for the National Register but still of local interest
6. None of the above.
7. Undetermined. -
Each general status is divided into more specific codes as follows:
1. Listed in the National Register.
1S. Separately listed.
ID. Contributor to a listed 'district.
1B. Both 1S and 1D.
2. Determined eligible for listing in the National Register.
2S1. Determined eligible for separate listing by the Keeper of the National Register.
2S2. Determined eligible for separate listing through a consensus determination by a federal agency and the
State Historic Preservation Officer.
2S3. Determined eligible for separate listing by a unit of the National Park Service other than the Keeper of
the National Register.
2D1. Contributor to a district determined eligible by the Keeper:
2D2. Contributor to a district determined eligible for listing through a consensus determination.
2D3. Determined eligible for listing as a contributor to a district by a unit of the National Park Service other
than the Keeper.
2B5. Determined eligible by more than one method listed above.
3. Appears eligible for listing in the National Register.
3S. Appears eligible for separate listing.
3D. Contributor to a district that has been fully documented according to OHP instructions and appears
eligible for listing.
3B. Both 3S and 3D.
4. Might become eligible for listing:
4R. Meets both of the following conditions: (1) Is located within the boundaries of a fully documented
district that is listed in, determined eligible for, or appears eligible for the National Register, and (2) may
become a contributor to the district when it is restored to its appearance during the district's period of
significance.
4S. May become eligible for separate listing in the National Register when one of the following occurs (use
the code for the most important reason if more than one applies):
4S1. The property becomes old enough to meet the Registers 50 -year requirement.
'52. More historical or architectural research is performed on the property.
4S7. The architectural integrity of the property is restored.
r
458. Other properties, which provide more significant examples of the historical or architectural
associations connected to this property, are demolished or otherwise lose their architectural integrity.
4D. Contributor to a fully documented district that may become eligible for listing when (use the code for
the most important reason if more than one applies):
4Di. The district becomes old enough to meet the Register's 50 -year requirement.
4D2 More historical or architectural research is performed on the district.
4137. The integrity of the district is restored.
4D8. Other districts, which provide more significant examples of the historical or architectural associations
connected to this district, are demolished or otherwise lose their architectural integrity.
4X. May become eligible as a contributor to a district that has not been fully documented.
5. Not eligible for National Register but of local interest because the resource: I , f .
SSl. Is separately listed or designated under an existing local ordinance, or is eligible for such listing or .
designation

7. Not evaluated.
APPENDIX 3: CALCULATING UTM COORDINATES
(For use in Fields kd and L2b)'
The Universal Transverse Mercator (U rM) Grid System provides a simple and accurate method for recording the
geographic location of a historic property. The UTM Grid System has a number of advantages over the Geographic
Coordinate System of latitude and longitude, particularly speed,'precision, and the use of linear, metric units of
measure. Determining UTM references involves no complicated geometric constructions and, in its simplest .
application, requires only a straightedge, a coordinate counter, and a sharp pencil as woiking tools. (The coordinate
counter, a plastic measuring tool, may be obtained from J & J Reproduction and Drafting Supplies, Inc., 9017 -F
Mendenhall Court, Columbia, MD 21045.)
In the UTM system, the Earth is divided into 60 zones, running north and south, each 6 degrees wide. Each zone is
numbered (most of the US is included in zones 10 through 19), beginning at the 180degree meridian near the
International Date Line. The zones are flattened and gridded into squares measuring one kilometer on each side. UTM
grid references are printed around the margins of many USGS quadrangles published since 1950, and all published
since 1959 with blue grid ticks spaced at 1000 meter (one kilometer) intervals. Any point in the zone may be referenced
by citing its zone number, its distance in meters from a north -south reference line ("easting "), and its distance in meters
from the Equator ("northing "). These three figures — the zone number, easting, and northing — make up the complete
UTM grid reference for any point and distinguish it from any other point on Earth.
The simplest method of determining a UTM reference is based on drawing part of the UTM grid on the map, and
measuring from the grid lines to the point It requires the following.
• a flat work surface on which the map may be spread out in full;
• a straightedge (ordinary rulers may not be accurate enough) long enough to reach completely across the
map — generally 28" to 36'
• a very sharp pencil;
• an ink pen for recording references; and
• a UTM coordinate counter.
To measure each point, follow these steps:
1. Draw a line from the top of the map to the bottom (north to south), connecting the UTM ticks of the same value
directly west of the point, that is the ticks with the highest easting value west of the point
2. Draw a line from the left to the right side of the map (west to east), connecting the UTM ticks of the same value
directly south of the point, that is the ticks with the highest northing value south of the point This line will intersect the
north -south line somewhere to the southwest of the point.
3. Record the zone number on a worksheet This number appears in the lower left comer of the map.
4. Record on a worksheet the numbers given by the map ticks through which the lines have been drawn. These are the
first three digits of the easting value and the first four digits of the northing value. 5. Locate the scale on the coordinate
counter matching that of the map, e.g., 1:24,000. Align the counter on the map so that
a. the side of the scale that reads from right to left lies along the east -west line.
b. The side of the scale that reads from left to right passes directly through the point. Check the alignment to be
sure that it is precise.
6. Read the coordinate counter scales, right to left for the easting and upward for the northing to get a measured value
in three decimal places. In each case, enter the measured value on the worksheet after the number recorded in step 4.
7. Check the readings for plausibility — are all figures in the correct decimal place? The easting will have six digits and
the northing seven.
8. Check the figures for accuracy by remeasuring.
9. Be sure that the correct order is observed: zone number, easting, northing (Z,E N).
If the resource is less than 10 acres, enter the UTM reference for the point in the middle of that resource. UTM
coordinates should be provided for the beginning and termination of linear structures and sites or recorded segments of
such resources. If a resource is 10 or more acres, the area must be enclosed in a quadrangle and a UTM reference ,
should be given for each comer. Where multiple UTM coordinates are provided, each reference point should be'",
depicted on the Location Map prepared for the resource.
APPENDIX 4: RESOURCE ATTRIBUTE CODES
(for use in Fields P3b and B11)
The following codes should be used to define the attributes of historical resources in Fields P3b and Bli of the
recording forms in this manual. An attribute code may be applied to a resource regardless of its condition. Thus, a
standing building or structure, as well as the archaeological remains of such entities, are both assigned the same -
attribute code. When a resource contains several attributes, all applicable codes should be entered. The codes are
summarized below and defined in greater detail in the following pages of this appendix.

APPENDIX 6: TYPES OF SURVEY ACTIVITIES
(For reference when filling in Field P10 on the. Primary Record)
Reports documenting survey activities add to the information available about historical resources by describing
how the resources were identified and evaluated. The Secretary of the Interior has offered specific recommendations
concerning the level of effort entailed in "reconnaissance" and "intensive" surveys.
A reconnaissance survey entails a systematic effort to identify and summarize information about historical
resources in a given area. Reports documenting reconnaissance surveys should provide thorough documentation of
objectives and expectations of the survey, the methods used to discover resources, and the adequacy of such efforts.
While reconnaissance surveys may employ widely different strategies, the reports prepared to document them should
minimally contain the following kinds of information
1. A clear statement of the purpose of the survey.
Z A definition of the survey area (with map of areas examined).
3. A research design that examines current knowledge of a relevant historic context or contexts, defines resource
types associated with that context, and establishes expectations regarding survey results (e.g., where resources
will be found, how many of each type, etc.). The research design may simply refer to a previously published one
if it is applicable and reasonably current
4. A definition of the methods that were used during the survey. If a variety of methods are used, the area
covered by each method should be separately depicted on the survey coverage map listed in Item 2 (above).
5. A summary of the results of the survey including a map depicting resource locations, analysis of findings
relative to the study's research design, discussion of any limitations of the survey, and individual records for all
identified heritage resources.
Intensive surveys go beyond the systematic identification and description of historical resources to encompass the
evaluation of those properties within a historic context Thus, in addition to the five categories of information needed
for a reconnaissance report, the report documenting an intensive survey should also contain
6. An evaluation of heritage resources identified during the survey as determined within a historic context using
the National Register criteria (or CEQA criteria if appropriate). . _ --
7. Evidence that the evaluation was conducted or confirmed by an appropriately qualified professional.
Res our F-u._r-t-her recommendations regarding the content of heritage resource reports can be found in OH?s Archaeological
Resour M nagemen Repot (ABMR); Recommended Contents =d Fonxtat (1989) and the secretary of the Interior's

APPENDIX 7: NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA
AND CONSIDERATIONS
Criteria for Evaluation
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in
districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting; materials;
workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
(a) that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history;
or
(b) that are associated with the fives of persons significant in our past; or
(c) that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the
work. of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity
whose components may lack individual distinction, or
(d) have yielded; or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
Criteria Considerations
Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used
for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings;
properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieve significance within the last 50 years
shall not considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties my ll qualib if they are integral
parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:
(a) a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical
importance; or
(b) a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily for architectural
value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or
(c) a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building
directly associated with his productive life; or
(d) a cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from
age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events, or
(e) a reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified
manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same
association has survived, or
(f) a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with
its own exceptional significance; or
(g) a property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

Appendix VII - CEQA Guidelines and Discussions 613
Appendix K
ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACTS
I. CEQA applies to effects on historic and prehistoric archaeological resources.
II. Public agencies should seek to avoid damaging effects on an archaeological resource whenever feasible. If
avoidance is not feasible, the importance of the site shall be evaluated using the criteria outlined in Section III.
A. In -situ preservation of a site is the preferred manner of avoiding damage to archaeological resources.
Preserving the site is more important than preserving the artifacts alone because the relationship of the artifacts
to each other in the site provides valuable information than can be lost when the artifacts are removed. Further,
preserving the site keeps it available for more sophisticated future research methods. Preservation may also
avoid conflict with religious or cultural values of groups associated with the site.
B. Avoiding damage may be accomplished by many approaches, including:
1. Planning construction to miss archaeological sites;
j 2. Planning parks, greenspace, or other open space to incorporate archaeological sites;
1 3. "Capping" or covering archaeological sites with a layer of soil before building tennis courts, parking lots,
or similar facilities. Capping may be used where:
1
a. The soils to be covered will not suffer serious compaction;
b. The covering materials are not chemically active;
c. The site is one in which the natural processes of deterioration have been effectively arrested; and
d. The site has been recorded.
4. Deeding archaeological sites into permanent conservation easements.
M. If the Lead Agency determines that a project may affect an archaeological resource, the agency shall determine
whether the effect may be a significant effect on the environment If the project may cause damage to an important
archaeological resource, the project may have a significant effect on the environment. For the purposes of CEQA,
i and "important archaeological resource" is one which:
A. Is associated with an event or person of:
1. Recognized significance in California or American history, or
2. Recognized scientific importance in prehistory.
f
B. Can provide information which is both of demonstrable public interest and useful in addressing scientifically
consequential and reasonable or archaeological research questions;
i
C. Has a special or particular quality such as oldest, best example, largest, or last surviving example of its kind;
D. Is at least 100 years old and possesses substantial stratigraphic integrity; or
E. Involves important research questions that historical research has shown can be answered only with
archaeological methods.
N. If an archaeological resource is not an important archaeological resource, both the resource and the effect on it
shall be noted in the Initial Study or EIR but need not be considered further in the CEQA process.
Attachment 5.90
514 Guide to the California Envirnnmar, +„i n
V. If avoidance of the important archaeological resource is not feasible, the Lead Agency should include an excavation
plan for mitigating the effect of the project on the qualities which make the resource important under Section III.
A. If an excavation plan is prepared, it shall:
1. Be a brief summary of the excavation proposed as part of a mitigation plan;
2. Be available for review only a need - to-know basis;
3. Not include the specific location of any archaeological resources if the plan will be made known to the
general public.
B. An excavation plan may:
1. List and briefly discuss the important information the archaeological resources contain or are likely to
contain;
2. Explain how the information should be recovered to be useful in addressing scientifically valid research
questions and other concerns identified in subdivision (a);
3. Explain the methods of analysis and, if feasible, display of excavated materials;
4. Provide for final report preparation and distribution; and
S. Explain the estimated cost of and time required to complete all activities undertaken under the plan.
C. The Lead agency may require a mitigation plan to be carried out as a condition of approval of the project.
VL A public agency following the federal clearance process under the National Historic Preservation Act or the
National Environmental Policy Act may use the documentation prepared under the federal guidelines in the place
of documentation called for in this appendix.
VII• Limitations on Mitigation
Special rules apply to mitigating significant effects on important archaeological resources.
A If it is not feasible to revise the project to avoid an important archaeological resource, the Lead Agency shall
require the project applicant to guarantee to pay one half of the cost of mitigating the significant effect of the
project on important archaeological. resources:
1. In determining the payment to be required from the applicanr, the Lead Agency shall consider the in -kind
value of project design or expenditures intended to permit any or all importanrarchaeological resources
or California Native American culturally significant sites to be undisturbed or preserved in place.
a. Consideration of in -kind values does not require a dollar for dollar set -off against the payment by the
project applicant.
b. In deciding on an appropriate set -off, the Lead Agency shall consider such. factors as whether the
project design or expenditures would provide other benefits to the applicant and whether the design
or expenditures required special changes in the project plans.
2. When it decides to carry out or approve the project, the Lead Agency shall, if necessary, reduce the
mitigation measures specified in the EIR to those which can be funded with:
a. The money guaranteed by the project applicant,'and
b. Money voluntarily guaranteed by any other person or persons for the mitigation.
3. In order to allow time for interested persons to provide a voluntary funding guarantee, the Lead Agency
shall not decide to carry out or approve a project having a significant effect on important archaeological
resources until 60 days after completing the final EIR on the project.
4. In no event shall the Lead Agency require the applicant —o pay more for mitigation within the site of the
projecr.than the following amounts:
Appendix VII - CEQA Guidelines and Discussions 615
a. One half of one percent of the projected cost of the project, if the project is a commercial or industrial
project.
b. Three fourths of one percent of the projected cost of the project for a housing project consisting of one
unit
c. If a housing project consists of more than one unit, three fourths of one percent of the projected cost
of the first unit plus the sum of the following:
(i) $200 per unit for any of the next 99 units,
(ii) $150 per unit for any of the next 400 units,
(iii) $100 per unit for units in excess of 500.
B. Unless special or unusual circumstances warrant an exception, the field excavation phase of an approved
mitigation plan shall be completed within 90 days after the applicant receives the final approval necessary to
begin physical development of the project
1. With a phased project, the mitigation measures shall be completed within 90 days after approval is granted
for the phased portion to which the specific mitigation measures apply.
2. The project applicant can elect to extend the time limits for completing the field excavation phase of the
approved mitigation plan.
3. A mitigation plan shall not authorize violation of any law protecting American Indian cemeteries.
C. Excavation as part of a mitigation plan shall be restricted to those parts of an important archaeological resource
that would be damaged or destroyed by the project unless special circumstances require limited excavation of
an immediately adjacent area in order to develop important information about the part of the resource that
would be destroyed.
D. Excavation as mitigation shall not be required for an important archaeological resource if the Lead Agency
determines that testing or studies already completed have adequately recovered the scientifically consequen-
tial information from and about the resource, provided that the determination is documented in the EIR.
E. The limitations on mitigation shall not apply to:
1. A public project if the Lead Agency decides to complywith other provisions of CEQA that apply to mitigation
of significant effects, and
2. A private project if the applicant and the Lead Agency jointly elect to comply with other provisions of CEQA
that apply to mitigation of significant effects.
F. The time and cost limitations described in this section do not apply to surveys and site evaluation activities
intended to determine whether the project location contains archaeological resources, and if so, whether the
archaeological resources are important as defined in this appendix.
VM. Discovery of Human Remains
A. In the event of discovery or recognition of any human remains in any location other than a dedicated cemetery,
there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie
adjacent human remains until:
1. The coroner of the county in which the remains are discovered has been informed and has determined that
no investigation of the cause of death is required, and
2. If remains are of Native American origin,
a. The descendants from the deceased Native Americans have made a recommendation to the landowner
or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with
appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated grave goods as provided in Public
Resources Code Section 5097.98, or
616 Guide to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
b. The Native American Heritage Commission was unable to identify a descendant or the descendant
failed to make a recommendation within 24 hours after being notified by the commission.
B. Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his authorized representative shall rebury the Native
American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a location
not subject to further subsurface disturbance.
1. The Native American Heritage Commission is unable to identify a descendant•,
2. The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation; or
3. The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendant, and the
mediation by the Native American Heritage Commission fails to provide measures acceptable to the
landowner.
C. If the human remains are discovered before the Lead Agency has finished the CEQA process, the Lead Agency
shall work with the Native American Heritage Commission and the applicant to develop an agreement for
treating or disposing, with appropriate dignity, of the human remains and any associated grave goods. Action
implementing such an agreement is exempt from:
1. The general prohibition on disintering, disturbing, or removing human remains froth any location other
than a dedicated cemetery (Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5).
2. The requirements of CEQA and the Coastal Act.
DL As part of the objectives, criteria, and procedures required by Section 21082 or as part of conditions imposed for
mitigation, a Lead Agency should make provisions for archaeological sites accidentally discovered during
construction. These provisions should include an immediate evaluation of the find. If the find is determined to be
an important archaeological resource, contingency funding and a time allotment sufficient to allow recovering an
archaeological sample or to employ one of the avoidance measures should be available. Construction work could
continue on other parrs of the building site while archaeological mitigation takes place.

Discussion:
This appendix responds to problems that have arisen in applying CEQA to archaeological resources. In some areas of
the state, full excavations of archaeological sites have been required for nearly every site discovered within the tract
where a project would be located regardless of the importance of the sites. As a result, federal officials have noted that
in CEQA documents they have found descriptions of archaeological excavations of sites that would not be regarded as
important enough to call for excavation under federal law. in is experience has shown a need for establishing standards
to guide agencies in deciding whether a site would be important enough to call for analysis under CEQA.
While there have been problems in some parts of the state, archaeological impacts have been handled well in other areas.
Mendocino County and Santa Barbara County especially have been noted for the excellence of their methods for dealing
with archaeological resources. This appendix does not mandate a uniform system statewide so that successful local
programs can continue.
The unnecessarily large number of excavations has also involved an unnecessary conflict with Native American values.
Native Americans have been upset by people digging up the remains of their ancestors. While archaeology can be carried
out in conjunction with Native Americans, and has been done successfully to help Native Americans learn about their
ancestors, too often excavations have been carried out without concern for the sensitivities of Native Americans. The
approaches described in this appendix should reduce the conflict with Native American values concerning protection
of burial sites.
An important principle in this appendix is the.emphasis on avoidance of archaeological sites. Avoidance is discussed
as a way of avoiding a significant impact in the first place, thereby enabling a project to qualify for a Negative
Appendix VII - CEQA Guidelines and Discussions 1 617
Declaration. Where the proposed project includes a potential impact on a site, avoidance is suggested as a preferred
mitigation measure where all other factors are equal. If 'a project can be altered to avoid a site, the costs and delays
involved in an archaeological excavation mayalso be avoided, and there would be no interference with Native American
sensitivities. Possible methods of avoidance are listed in order to give people ideas of how to proceed. These methods
are not exclusive and could be supplemented by other methods at the option of the Lead Agency.
The appendix also identifies standards for determining the importance of the archaeological site and provides that a
project would have a significant effect on the environment if it would cause damage to an important archaeological site.
These standards are in keeping with the efforts in CEQA to focus on significant effects rather than on all effects. The
standards are an effort to focus on archaeological resources that people would generally agree are important rather than
requiring protection of all archaeological resources. The standards are consistentvirh the standards included in AB 952
(Deddeh), Chapter 1623 of the Statutes of 1982. The appendix uses the term "important" archaeological resources
rather than "unique" archaeological resources in order to use terminology more closely related to accepted scientific
usage. The substance of the standards remains consistent with the bill despite the change in label.
The appendix encourages the preparation of an excavation plan in an EIR as one of several possible mitigation measures
for destruction or damage to an archaeological site. The excavation plan is an effort to achieve greater precision in the
ways in which any necessary excavation would be carried out. The excavation plan would put a burden on the
archaeologist to explain the importance of the site and to demonstrate how the proposed excavation would serve some
public interest. The elements listed for an excavation plan are suggested but not required. This approach allows Lead
Agencies to take various approaches in excavation plans. The plans are intended to shift the burden to the archaeologist
to demonstrate the necessity for an excavation rather than requiring a staff worker in the Lead Agency to deal with
unfocused claims of the importance of the site. The Resources Agency has received information suggesting that planners
working for Lead Agencies have had difficulty in evaluating claims from expert archaeologists demanding that
excavation be allowed. The excavation plan requirement is designed to alleviate that problem.
To conform to the recently enacted Assembly Bill 952, Chapter 1623 of the Statutes of 1982, the appendix identifies
various restrictions on archaeological mitigation and cost limitations on archaeological mitigation. These restrictions
apply to the CEQA process, and people implementing the Act need to be made aware of them. The appendix reorganizes
and clarifies the limitations and adds interpretations with a few subjects from the bill such as offsets and the 60-day
delay in approval after completing the EIR.
The appendix also suggests ways for Lead Agencies to standardize their methods of dealing with archaeological
resources. The methods could be included within mitigation measures in EIRs or included in the CEQA procedures
which an agency is required to adopt by Section 21082 of the Public Resources Code. The appendix also encourages
Lead Agencies to deal with the problem of unexpected sites which maybe discovered during construction. The appendix
does not mandate any particular way to deal with this situation.
The appendix also reflects the protections recendyenacted in Senate Bill 297 (Garamendi), Chapter 1492 of the Statutes
of 1982, for human remains discovered during excavation. If the human remains are of Native American origin, special
rules and procedures apply. The rules and procedures are included here because they are so closely related to the
archaeological activities discussed in this appendix.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
ESTABLISHING A POLICY TO GUIDE THE INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS
WHEREAS, City residents, land owners and business tenan ts periodically request that the Public
Works Department install stop.signs at specific locations to control vehicle traffic; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works staff apply criteria ( "warrants ") used by the engineering profession
to determine if traffic conditions warrant the installation of a stop sign at particular locations; and
WHEREAS, residents and owners of residential properties may desire the installation of stop
signs at locations where standard warrants are not mete but where managing traffic continues to be a
concern; and
WHEREAS, the installation of stop signs .and policies .that guide their installation are exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as
follows:
Section 1: To adopt the following policy and.. direct the Public Works Director to initiate
immediate implementation:
The following policy will guide the Public Works Department in responding to citizen requests
for installing stop signs. This policy applies to the installation of individual stop signs; it does
not apply to the design of solutions to area -wide traffic problems.
1. Installation of stop signs in commercial areas should meet traffic warrants used by the
Traffic Engineer.
2. Installation of stop signs in residential areas will be considered when traffic conditions
meet warrants used by the Traffic Engineer, or when;
A. The stop sign is on a street designated by the Circulation Element as a "local"
street and is fronted by property zoned for "low -" or "Medium- Density" housing;
and
B. The resident requesting the installation petitions households within a 100_ meter
radius of the proposed sign location and submits petition results to the Public
Works Department; and
C. The Traffic Engineer determines that the petition results show that at least 70%
of the households within a 100 meter radius of the proposed sign support its
installation and
R -RA 97
i
Page 2 -- Resolution No. 8457 (1995 Series)
D. The Traffic Engineerfinds that the cumulative impact of installing multiple stop
signs along a. local street:
(1) Will not limit options for managing traffic in Neighborhood Traffic
Management Areas designated by the Circulation Element; and
(2) Will not divert traffic to other local streets in the area or cause traffic
standa- Is .set by the Circulation Element to be exceeded.
3. When traffic conditions meet warrants, the City will cover the cost of installing the stop
sign. When traffic conditions do not meet warrants, the requesting resident(s) shall pay
the City for installing the stop sign. Once installed, the City" will be responsible for
ongoing maintenance.
