CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY REPORT 4400 Black Ave 13 PREVIOUS STUDIES AND ARCHIVAL RESEARCH RECORD SEARCH RESULTS A record search performed at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC File # 23-0422, October 20, 2023) did not identify any cultural resources within a ¼ mile radius of the project area. The search returned two previous studies (S-13832 and S-47934) that included at least part of the project area, and no additional studies have come within a ¼ mile radius. One of the previous studies, S-13832, was completed in 1991 by Miley Holman and Holman & Associates, but the map included in the report appears to be in error. Holman requested a search of the NWIC archive and surveyed the grounds and immediate vicinity of the Foothill High School site as part of a proposed expansion. However, Foothill High School is 2.3 miles west of the project area. The map included in the report showed Amador Valley High School as their project area. The report mentioned Arroyo de la Laguna as south of the project area, which is true for Foothill High School but not for Amador Valley High School. The confusion between the two high schools likely led to the wrong map being included in the report and NWIC recording the wrong location for the survey. In 2015, a technical memorandum was prepared by Steve Brown, Daniel Shoup, and Steve Kirkpatrick to address potential Section 106 Cultural Resource Issues with the City of Pleasanton’s Recycled Water Project. As part of the study, a search of the NWIC archives and a survey in the vicinity of the identified resources was performed. The survey areas did not include the project area. The Recycled Water Project identified two prehistoric and three historic sites within their APE; however, all are at least 1 mile north of the current project area (S-47934, Brown et al. 2015). Please see Appendix 1 for complete record search results. SACRED LANDS F ILE S EARCH A Sacred Lands File search request was submitted to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for 4400 Black Ave. Cody Campagne of NAHC responded on October 23, 2023, stating that the results were positive and that the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe of the SF Bay Area should be contacted regarding this project. Please see Appendix 2 for the Sacred Lands File search results and tribal consultation list.
