SEPTEMBER. 20 I 0 CULTURAL RESOURCES SUR.VEY RESULTS LA COSTA AVENUE SLOPE FAILURE REPAIR PROJECT CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA ABSTRACT This report presents the results of an archaeological survey for the La Costa A venue and Romeria Street Slope Failure Project. The City of Carlsbad (City) proposes to repair a failed slope on the southern side of La Costa A venue between Gibraltar and Romeria Streets in Carlsbad, California. The City will install an all-weather, permanent maintenance access ramp and pad to replace the current access from Levante Street. The project study area addressed in this report includes 360 linear feet of concrete channel, 130 feet of brow ditch and a buffer of surrounding habitat approximately 200 feet west of the concrete-lined channel that extends to the boundaries of the adjacent properties on the east side of the concrete-lined channel. This analysis addresses the area upstream of the culvert under La . Costa A venue. Archaeological and historical research included a records search and the examination ~f historic maps and aerial photographs. Thirty-eight documented archaeological investigations have taken place within the vicinity of the project. Most of the investigations date between 1960 and 1980 and indicate there was a moderate amount of prehistoric activity within the project area. LSA conducted an archaeological field survey on May 17, 2010, of the 0.58-acre project area of potential effect (APE). The survey consisted of an intensive pedestrian survey covering the entire project APE. No previously recorded sites were documented within the project APE and no prehistoric or historic sites, artifacts, or features were identified during the survey. Based on the literature search and field survey, the project APE retains a limited probability of containing artifacts and therefore no further cultural resource work is recommended for this project. This report has been prepared pursuant of Section 106 of the National Historical Preservation Act (NHP A). This report has been prepared for approval by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The cultural resources survey referenced in this report was conducted under contract to the City of Carlsbad by LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA). The City of Carlsbad will serve as the Lead Agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and for compliance with Section 106 of the NHP A. The findings and conclusions presented in this report represent the professional opinion of LSA.

PROJECT CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFOII.NIA INTRODUCTION Project Descriptions Because the La Costa A venue and Romeria Street projects are adjacent and slightly overlap each other, they have been combined into one report. Both projects are located.along La Costa A venue • between Gibraltar and Romeria Streets in the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, California, on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Rancho Santa Fe, California 7.5-minute topographical quadrangle map (Figure 1). Specifically, the projects are located in Section 36, Township 12 South, Range 4 West, SBBM. The La Costa Avenue project area of potential effect (APE) includes a small area on the south side of La Costa A venue in the north portion 'of the project APE. The Romeria Street portion of the project is situated along the west side of Romeria Street in the east portion of the projects' APE. Both projects are located o:n a generally, north-facing vegetated slope on City-owned property overlooking San Marcos Creek to the north (Figure 2). The surrounding area consists of residential development. The projects' APE is bounded by vacant lands to the east, La Costa Avenue to the north, vacant lands and residential development to the south, and vacant lands to the west. A system of brow ditches converges to the east of the slope failure site. The City of Carlsbad (City) proposes to repair a failed-slope on the southern side of La Costa A venue between Gibraltar and Romeria Streets. The projects are necessary to prevent the slope from failing further, a scenario that would endanger the residents inhabiting houses to the north, directly across the street; houses to the south, at the top of the slope; and motorists or pedestrians traveling on La Costa Avenue. The Romeria Street project includes the installation an all-weather, permanent maintenance access ramp and pad to replace the current access from Levante Street. The Romeria Street project study area includes 360 linear feet of conerete-channel,-130 feet of brow ditch and a buffer of surrounding habitat approximately 200 feet west of the concrete-lined channel that extends to the boundaries of the adjacent properties on the east side of the concrete-lined channel. The archaeological survey was conducted pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Carlsbad implementing regulations and guidelines including the Resource Protection Ordinance (RPO). The City of Carlsbad will serve as the lead agency for CEQA compliance. The archaeological survey was conducted to determine if any cultural resources eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) or significant under the RPO will be affected by this project. This report has been prepared according to State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) guidelines for Archaeological-Resource..ManagementReports (ARMR). Project Personnel The cultural resource survey was conducted by LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) whose cultural resources staff meets Federal, State and local requirements. Ms. Elizabeth Davidson served as the Principal Investigator for the project. Ms. Davidson is a member of the Register of Professional Archaeologists (RP A), has an MA in Archaeology from the University of Leicester, and has more than 13 years experience in the Southern California region. Ms. Davidson meets the Secretary of the Interior's standards for qualified archaeologists. See Appendix A.

SEPTEMBER 2010 CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY RESULTS LA COSTA AVENUE SLOPE FAILURE REPAIR PROJECT CITY OF CARLS.BAD, CALIFORNIA NATURAL AND CULTURAL SETTINGS Natural Setting The climate of the region can generally be described as Mediterranean, with cool wet winters and hot dry summers. Lack of rainfall limits vegetation growth and habitat types adapted to the dry conditions of the region occur in the project area. Prior to disturbance, the project area would have been dominated by coastal sage scrub. Animal resources in the region include deer, fox, raccoon, skunk, bobcat, coyote, rabbit, and various rodent, reptile, and bird species. Small game, dominated by rabbits, is relatively abundant. Cultural Setting San Diego County archaeological investigations indicate humans have inhabited the area for at least 10,000 years. Malcolm Rogers was the first to develop a cultural chronology of the-region. In general, they can be divided into five consecutive periods: Paleoindian, Archaic, Late Prehistoric, Ethnohistoric, and Historic (Bull 1983; Ezell 1987; Moriarty 1966; Warren et al. 1993). The earliest sites in San Diego County are identified as the Paleoindian period (9,000 to 8,000 YBP [years before present]), and include the San Dieguito, La Jolla and Pauma complex. The majority of these sites are located around inland dry lakes, on old terrace deposits· in the California desert, and on or near the coast on mesas or terraces. The artifacts associated with this period are heavily patinated felsite tools primarily consisting of scrapers, scraper planes, choppers, large blades, and large projectile points. -- Around 8,000 years ago, changes in technology begin to appear in the archaeological record. During the Early Archaic period, there is an increase in the use of grinding and seed processing technology and a: changein mortuary practices, indicating population movements or-internal change (Moratto 1984). There is a marked increase in the exploitation of plant and animal resources inland and on the coast. Artifacts associated with this period include an increase of Pinto and Elko series projectile poi:Qts, JJ!fge bifaces, manos, metates, and core tools. The Late Prehistoric period is characterized by a series of dramatic technological changes indicating --tlranirouml--2;0(-)0-YBP;-p-eopte-fromi:he-eotora:do-River·area migrated to the Southern California region. This period is characterized by the appearance of smaller projectile points, ceramics, permanent bedrock milling sites, and cremation burials. There also appears to be an increase in the establishment of permanent or semi-permanent seasonal villages indicating a shift to inland plant food collection and processing. The Ethnohistoric period occurred shortly before Europeans colonized Southern California. Documentation by the Spanish and the material culture left by the native people indicate that at the time of contact there were four distinct native groups, Luisefio, Diegueno, Cupeno, and the Cahuilla (Kroeber 1925) in the area. During this period, the Native American populations dramatically decreased and were quickly assimilated into the mission system. The project area is located on the border of the Luisefio and Kumeyaay territory. The Historic period in San Diego County is generally divided into three politically defined periods: Spanish, Mexican, and American periods. The Spanish colonists first settled the Southern California C:\Documents and Settings\Idavidson\Desktop\La Costa_Romeria_CR RptFINAL.doc (9/30/2010) 5 LSA ASSOOIATl!S, !NO.

In: 1821, Mexico won its independence from Spain and California came under Mexican rule. By 1834, the Spanish missions had been secularized and large tracts of land, or ranchos were granted to Mexican citizens. Mexican rule ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1848 when California was ceded to the United States. The City of Carlsbad first began. as a train stop and tourist attraction when a mineral spring was discovered in 1883 by John Frazier (Sprague-Bentley 2009). Within a few years of his discovery, the Southern Railroad Company built a whistle stop station not far from the newly discovered mineral springs. Frazier began selling the mineral water to the train passengers and the city of Carlsbad soon became a tourist attraction. From the 1920s and into the present, Carlsbad has continued to boom with tourism, agriculture, and floriculture. METHODS Research A records search of both study areas was performed at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), San Diego State University (SCIC 2010). The SCIC provided a record of all previous surveys, archaeological sites, subsurface investigations, and all historic resources over 45 years old that are within a one-mile radius of the project area. Site records of archaeological sites and bibliographical references for all surveys and investigations within the one-mile search radius were copied. Historic maps were investigated and the following inventories were examined: National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, California Historical Landmarks, California Historic Properties Directory; and the California Points of Historical Interest. See Appendix B. Fj~ld--8_UJ".X..e.Y---------------------------- The goal ofthe survey wasto identify and document.any cultural resources greater than 45 years or older as per the Office of Historic Preservation Guidelines (1995). To accomplish this, a pedestrian survey of the project APE was conducted on May 17, 2010, by Ms. Elizabeth E. Davidson, RP A. The projects' combined APE was surveyed on foot in 5 to 10-meter parallel transect intervals. The projects' APE is primarily situated on a steep slope, covered with native and nonnative grasses and vegetation. The thick vegetation on the eastern side of the projects' APE limited visibility to approximately 1 percent; however; surface visibility over the rest of the area was approximately 60 percent. Rodent burrows also provided limited surface and subsurface visibility. RESULTS Research Thirty-eight documented archaeological investigations have taken place within a one-mile radius of the projects' APE. Most of the investigations date between 1960 and 1980 and indicate there was a moderate amount of prehistoric activity within the project area. Table A summarizes the investigations within a one-mile radius of the projects. C:\Documents and Settings\ldavidson\Desktop\µi Costa_Romeria_CR RptFINAL.doc (9/30/2010) LSA ASSOCIATES, INC.

No previously recorded sites were documented within the combined project APE and no prehistoric or historic sites, artifacts, or features were identified during the survey. Approximately 80 percent of the projects' APE is situated on a steep north-facing slope. The sediments on the slope appear to have been the result of cut andfITioperatioris ii which the top cifthe knoll was-graded and slightly recontoiireo to create the existing house pads and slope contour. A small modem concrete-lined storm water gutter is located on the north side of the slope within the La Costa A venue portion of the projeci:The gutter drains water into a seasonal drainage located at the east end of the project. The area around the drainage was inspected for cultural resources, but sediment deposits from recent rains have covered or washed away any cultural material that might have been present. Based on the -disturbed landform context, steep and field survey observations, there is a low potential forihe presence of buried deposits. RESULTS No previously recorded sites were documented within the projects' APE and no prehistoric or historic sites, artifacts, or features were identified during the field survey. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the literature search and field survey, no significant cultural resources were observed on the La Costa Avenue or Romeria Street projects' APE.
