CARLSBAD RAIL TRAIL REACH ONE
CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
ABSTRACT
The City of Carlsbad (City) intends to install Reach 1 (a multi-modal trail) as part of the Coastal Rail
Trail project. The purpose of the project is to provide a contiguous trail system from San Diego to
Oceanside that is roughly parallel to the rail corridor between Santa Fe Depot in San Diego to the San
Luis Rey River in Oceanside. In order to accommodate the trail and avoid or minimize impacts to any
resources outside of existing paved areas, the City is proposing to reduce the lanes to one in each
direction. The lane reduction will allow for installation of a pedestrian trail, devoted bicycle lanes,
and a sidewalk across the Buena Vista Lagoon. To improve pedestrian, bicyclist, and vehicular safety,
the City intends to improve the intersection of State Street and Carlsbad Boulevard by installing a
roundabout. The roundabout feature will also provide safe access to the Rail Trail and sidewalk on the
east side of Carlsbad Boulevard/Coast Highway for pedestrian and bicycle users.
Archaeological and historical research included a records search and the examination of historic maps
and aerial photographs. Nine documented archaeological investigations have been completed within a
quarter-mile of the project area, one of which included the project area. Only one cultural resource
has been previously recorded in the project vicinity, and four historic residential areas occur within
the vicinity.
LSA conducted an archaeological field survey on July 3, 2012, of the 3-acre project area of potential
effects (APE). The survey consisted of an intensive pedestrian survey covering the project APE along
Carlsbad Boulevard. 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.
The proposed project disturbance is limited to paved or disturbed road shoulders and no resources
have been observed within the APE; therefore, archaeological monitoring is not recommended.
This report has been prepared pursuant of Section 106 of the National Historical Preservation Act
(NHPA) and has been prepared for approval by the Federal lead agency. The cultural resources
survey referenced in this report was conducted under contract to the City by LSA Associates, Inc.
(LSA). The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), acting as local assistance agency on
behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) will serve as the Lead Agency under the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and for compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. The
findings and conclusions presented in this report represent the professional opinion of LSA.

INTRODUCTION
Project Description
The City of Carlsbad (City) intends to install Reach 1 of the Coastal Rail Trail and construct a
roundabout at the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and State Street to enhance safety and access.
The project will connect the two cities of Carlsbad and Oceanside with a pedestrian trail, Class I
bicycle paths, and sidewalks across the Buena Vista Lagoon. The existing vehicle lanes will be
repurposed to provide sufficient space for expansion. The roundabout will serve as a safety
enhancement as part of the Carlsbad Rail Trail (CRT) Reach 1. Additionally, the CRT Reach 1 will
connect along State Street at Oak A venue with Reach 2. The sidewalk to be added will provide access
for pedestrians to the Buena Vista Lagoon Nature Center.
The entire project area is approximately 3 acres located in the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County,
California. The survey area is located within Section 1, Township 12 South, Range 5 West, and
Section 36, Township 11 South, Range 5 West, as shown on the San Luis Rey, California 7 .5-minute
series United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map (Figure 1). The project area extends
from Eaton Street on the north, along Carlsbad Boulevard to the intersection at State Street on the
south.
The majority of the project area includes existing paved streets (Carlsbad Boulevard), and only a
small portion of the project footprint is undeveloped. A small landscaped park is located at the
southeastern end of the project area.
The archaeological survey was conducted pursuant to NHPA Section 106 and the City of Carlsbad
implementing regulations and guidelines including the Resource Protection Ordinance (RPO). Caltrans
will serve as the lead agency for NEPA compliance. The archaeological survey was conducted to
determine if any cultural resources eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places
(National 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 Management Reports (ARMR).
PROJECT PERSONNEL
The cultural resources survey was conducted by LSA, whose cultural resources staff meets Federal,
State, and local requirements. Mr. Roderic McLean served as Principal Investigator for the project
See Appendix A for the resume of the Principal Investigator.
Ms. Natalie Brodie completed the survey of the project area and prepared the report. Ms. Brodie has a
BA in Anthropology and Archaeology from the University of California, San Diego, and has more
than 11 years of experience in the archaeology of Southern California.

NATURAL AND CULTURAL SETTINGS
Natural Setting
The project area is partially located within the Buena Vista Lagoon. The elevation on site ranges from
approximately 0 to 25 feet above mean sea level. The Buena Vista Lagoon is mainly a freshwater
lagoon with very little influence from the sea, as a natural sandbar separates it from the ocean. Prior
to manmade efforts to permanently stop the flow of saltwater into the lagoon, sea water would
occasionally enter the lagoon during storms and heavy surge (Stanbro 1971). Since the 1930s, pipes
have been utilized to allow excess freshwater to exit the lagoon into the sea to prevent flooding along
the Coast Highway and from dramatically increasing the water level of the lagoon.
The lagoon environment is crucial to fish and provides refuge for large populations of waterfowl. The
Buena Vista Lagoon is part of the Pacific Flyway, and thousands of migrating birds pass through the
area every season.
The geology of the region includes mainly Cenozoic marine sedimentary rocks in the Peninsular
Range. A late Tertiary marine deposit, the San Onofre Breccia extends from the Santa Monica
Mountains to Oceanside, just north of the project area (Norris and Webb 1990). The project area, and
the Buena Vista Lagoon, is bound by marine terraces to the north and south, ranging up to 300 feet in
elevation (Stanbro 1971).
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 development, the project area would have
been dominated by coastal sage scrub, freshwater lagoon, and brackish lagoon habitat. This habitat
would have been an ideal source of marine resources including varieties of shellfish, such as scallops
and clams, fish dependent on eelgrass (rockfish and surfperch), and water birds such as cormorants
and pelicans. The vegetation in the project area includes rushes and sedges, and areas of developed
landscaping. Terrestrial animal resources in the region include deer, fox, raccoon, skunk, bobcat,
coyote, rabbit, and various rodent, reptile, and bird species.
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 (Bull1983; Ezell1987; 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 and Pauma complexes. 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 change in 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
points, large bifaces, manos, metates, and core tools.
The Late Prehistoric period is characterized by a series of dramatic technological changes indicating
that around 2,000 YBP, people from the Colorado River area migrated to the Southwestern 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, Dieguefio, Cupefio, 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 (Dieguefio) 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
region in 1769 and established military and religious institutions along the coast. In 1821, Mexico
won 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.
History of Carlsbad, St. Malo, and the Buena Vista Lagoon. The City of Carlsbad first began as a
train stop and tourist destination when a mineral spring was discovered in the area in 1880s by John
Frazier (Sprague-Bentley 2009). Frazier settled just south of Buena Vista Lagoon and, realizing the
difficulty of farming without a reliable water supply, started to dig a well. Water was discovered at
245 feet in 1885 and the newly tapped mineral and artisanal well provided water to the Frazier farm
and to thirsty railroad passengers stopping at Carlsbad (Carlsbad Historical Society n.d.). The
discovery of water increased the land value by 50 percent nearly overnight. A school, general store,
and hotels were quickly constructed to allow for new residents and tourists, providing new
opportunities for industry and development (Sprague-Bentley 2009). The fledgling town, however,
faced a dramatic decline in population after the initial boom in the late 1880s.
Ed Fletcher formed the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company in 1919 to bring water from the San Luis
Rey River, and by the early 1920s, agriculturalists and families moved to Carlsbad. Floriculture
excelled in Carlsbad, thanks to the mild climate and availability of water (Sprague-Bentley 2009).
The incoming U.S. Highway 101 in 1928 provided additional opportunities for development in
Carlsbad, although much of the surrounding area remained in agriculture for many years.
The small, exclusive beach community of St. Malo began in 1928 with the purchase of property west
of the railroad on recently filled and stabilized land by the sea (Tenaglia 2000). The property is

adjacent to the Buena Vista Lagoon and steps were taken early in the history of St. Malo to preserve
the freshwater lagoon and reduce flooding along Carlsbad Boulevard (Stanbro 1971; Tenaglia 2000).
St. Malo maintains very specific building codes as the architecture is similar to the French village of
the same name on the coast of Brittany. Early residents decided to try their hand at salt production
and installed evaporation ponds in the lagoon (see Figure 2). The venture was not very successful as
the water in the lagoon was brackish at best, and other salt works, such as the Western Saltworks in
Chula Vista, had cornered the salt market for San Diego.
The St. Malo community has been influential in nearly all the decisions regarding the Buena Vista
Lagoon. One of the founding members, Kenyon Keith, established the Buena Vista Lagoon
Association and attempted to keep and maintain the lagoon as a wildlife sanctuary (Tenaglia 2000).
For most years prior to the 1950s, the amount of freshwater was sufficient from nearby streams and
springs to provide a relatively stable water level in the lagoon. Increased population and development
led to a severe strain on those same freshwater sources, and concerns grew about the maintenance of
the lagoon (Stanbro 1971; Tenaglia 2000). The establishment of local sewe.r treatment facilities
further affected the health of the lagoon, and massive algal blooms and insects became a concern for
the residents of St. Malo and the surrounding area. By 1965, however, treated sewage was no longer
pumped into the lagoon, and the water level and temperature stabilized (Stanbro 1971).
METHODS
Research
A records search of the study area was performed at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC),
located at San Diego State University on July 9, 2012. The SCIC provided records of all previous
surveys, archaeological sites, subsurface investigations, and all historic resources over 45 years in age
that are located within a one quarter-mile radius of the project area. Site records of archaeological
sites and bibliographical references for all surveys and investigations within the one quarter-mile
search radius were copied. Historic maps and aerial photographs 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 for a summary of the records search.
Field Survey
The goal of the survey was to identify and document any cultural resources greater than 45 years in
age per the Office of Historic Preservation Guidelines (1995). To accomplish this, a pedestrian survey
of the project APE was conducted on July 3, 2012, by Ms. Natalie Brodie, BA. The project APE was
surveyed on foot along the entire length of the proposed project footprint. The survey area is situated
along an existing paved roadway, with a very narrow undeveloped shoulder. The project footprint
does not extend much beyond the roadway, so all adjacent undeveloped and disturbed areas were
examined for cultural resources. Rodent burrows were examined for evidence of cultural material.

One site, CA-SDI-627, is recorded within a one quarter-mile radius of the project. The site is listed as
a prehistoric campsite, originally recorded by Malcolm Rogers and updated by Wallace in 1958. The
site is not located within the APE, but is indicative of the types of resources that occur in the area.
Four historic residences are located within a quarter-mile vicinity of the APE, but none occurs within
the immediate project area.
Historic aerial photographs and maps were also examined as part of the background research.
Previously referenced Figure 2 is an aerial photograph from 1932 that depicts the layout of Carlsbad
Boulevard, the railroad tracks, and the salt evaporation ponds that have since been removed from the
lagoon. The aerial photographs and historic maps do not indicate the presence of any significant
structures or resources that may be impacted by the proposed project. The presence of the road
(Carlsbad Boulevard) indicates the use of fill soil to construct the road crossing the lagoon and
implies fill soil has been used to the north and south of the lagoon to supplement existing road base.

Field Survey
CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY RESULTS
CARLSBAD RAIL TRAIL REACH ONE
CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
The pedestrian field survey was completed by Natalie Brodie, BA on July 3, 2012. No previously
recorded sites were documented within the project APE and no new prehistoric or historic sites,
artifacts, or features were identified during the survey. The majority of the APE is developed or
paved, and undeveloped and disturbed areas are covered with native and non-native vegetation
including iceplant (Carpobrotus edulis). Fill soil is apparent on the road shoulder. The visibility was
poor for much of the area. Three fragments of California Venus clam (Chione sp.) were observed, but
do not represent prehistoric human activity, as they are locally plentiful in lagoon and estuary
settings. Very little of the APE is undeveloped, and the likelihood for buried deposits is very low,
especially on the lagoon edge. Carlsbad Boulevard and the lagoon are prone to inundation and
flooding during storms and heavy rains.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the literature search and field survey, no significant cultural resources were observed on the
Carlsbad Rail Trail Reach 1 Project. The majority of the project area is developed and any remaining
exposed areas are covered in iceplant and other non-native vegetation. No previously recorded
cultural resources are located within the project APE and none was observed during the pedestrian
survey. Due to the location of the project area in a lagoon setting, there is a low potential for buried
cultural deposits, and the area is subject to inundation and flooding. No archaeological monitoring is
recommended for the construction of the proposed project.
Although no archaeological resources were identified in the project APE, the presence of significant
subsurface archaeological resources is a possibility in areas where only surface inspection has taken
place. If archaeological material is identified during ground-disturbing activities, work in that location
should be diverted and a qualified archaeologist should evaluate the nature and significance of the
find.
If human remains are encountered at any time during construction or routine maintenance in the
projects' APE, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall
occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 5097.98, so the County Coroner must be notified of the find immediately. If
the remains are determined to be Native American, the County Coroner will notify the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant
(MLD). The MLD may inspect the site of the discovery, and shall complete the inspection within 24
hours of notification by the NAHC. The MLD may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive
analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials.
