Gentry-Suisun Recirculated DEIR · This Partially Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
This document is posted to help you gain knowledge. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think about it! Share it to your friends and learn new things together.
This Partially Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) was preparedin accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) asamended. CEQA Guidelines §15088.5 requires the recirculation of some or all portionsof a draft EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice isgiven. The City of Suisun City (City) is the lead agency for the environmental review ofthe proposed Gentry Property Annexation Project (the Project) evaluated herein and hasthe principal responsibility for approving the project. At the time it is called upon toconsider approving the Project, the City Council of Suisun, as the lead agency's decisionmaking body, shall consider the information in the EIR along with other information thatmay be presented to the City during the environmental review process and publichearing(s) on the Project.
The DEIR was circulated to the public for 45 days consistent with CEQA Guidelines§I5105(a). The public review period began on April 4, 2006, and ended on May 19,2006. A total of 19 comment letters were received during the open public commentperiod on the DEIR by residents and State and local agencies. The DEIR contained thefollowing technical chapters:
• Chapter 4.1 - Land Use and Agriculture• Chapter 4.2 - Aesthetics• Chapter 4.3 Air Quality• Chapter 4.4 - Noise• Chapter 4.5 - Traffic and Circulation• Chapter 4.6 - Biological Resources• Chapter 4.7 - Hydrology and Water Quality• Chapter 4.8 - Public Services and Utilities• Chapter 4.9 - Energy• Chapter 4.10 - Socio Economic
Based on the responses received on the project, Suisun City made the determination toprepare two additional chapters not included in the Draft EIR: one dealing with CulturalResources; and the other dealing with Hazards and Hazardous Materials. The Draft EIRhad not included chapters on these two subjects because, at the time it prepared the DraftEIR, the City did not believe such chapters were necessary. The City reached thisconclusion based on conclusions it reached in the Initial Study it prepared for the Project,which concluded that the Project would not cause any significant effects with respect to
cultural resources or hazards and hazardous materials. (See DEIR, Vol. 2, Appendix C,pp. 24-26, 30-31.) In response to comments suggesting that these two topics merited fulltreatment in the EIR, the City chose to prepare two new chapters and to recirculate themseparately from the original Draft EIR for a full 45-day period.
As the first steps towards creating these new chapters, the City undertook the preparationof a Phase 1 Environmental Report and a Cultural Resources Study for the project site.These two docnments are contained in the appendix of this Recirculated DEIR. Based onthe information contained in these technical documents the following two chapters werewritten and are contained in the Recirculated DElR:
• Chapter 4.11 - Hazards• Chapter 4.12 - Cultural Resources
In addition, the Water Supply Assessment (WSA) was inadvertently left out of theoriginal DElR. Therefore, the WSA is included as an appendix to this document.
SUMMARY OF TEXT CHANGES
A Cultural Resources Chapter has and the Cultural Resources Assesment onwhich the chapter is based is contained in Appendix J. A Hazards Chapter has beenadded, and the. Phase 1 Assessment on which the chapter is based is contained inAppendix K. Appendix I contains the Water Supply Assessment conducted for theGentry Suisun Project.

CEQA requires a lead agency to issue new notice and "recirculate" a revised EIR, orportions thereof, for additional commentary and consultation if, subsequent to thecommencement of public review and interagency consultation but prior to final EIRcertification, the lead agency adds "significant new information" to an ElR. (Pub.Resources Code, section 21092.1; CEQA Guidelines, section 15088.5; Laurel HeightsImprovement Association oj San Francisco, Inc. v. Regents oj the University ojCalifornia (1993) 6 CaI.4th 1112 (Laurel Heights 11).) CEQA Guidelines section15088.5 provides four examples of disclosure which constitute "significant newinformation" for purposes of requiring recirculation of a revised ElR:
(1) A new significant environmental impact would result from theproject or from a new mitigation measure proposed to beimplemented;
(2) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmentalimpact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted thatreduce the impact to a level of insignificance;
(3) A feasible project alternative or mitigation measureconsiderably different from others previously analyzed would
clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but theproject's proponents decline to adopt it; or
(4) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequateand conclusory in nature that meaningful public review andcomment were precluded.
The revised environmental document must be subjected to the same "critical evaluationthat occurs in the draft stage," so that the public is not denied "an opportunity to test,assess, and evaluate the data and make an informed judgment as to the validity of theconclusions to be drawn therefrom." (Sutter Sensible Planning, Inc. v. Board 0/Supervisors (1981) 122 Cal.App.3d 813, 822; see also Save Our Peninsula Committee v.Monterey County Bd o/Supervisors (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99,131.)
Recirculation of an EIR requires notice pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15087, andconsultation pursuant to section 15086. (CEQA Guidelines, section 15088.5, subd. (d).)Where an agency determines that recirculation is required, the agency can satisfy itsobligation by reissuing only the revised part or parts of the EIR, rather than a whole newdocument. "If the revision is limited to a few chapters or portions of the EIR, the leadagency need only recirculate the chapters or portions that have been modified." (CEQAGuidelines, section 15088.5, subd. (c).)
Notably, the recirculation of only "portions" of a draft EIR does not permit commentersto comment anew on topics not subject to a partial recirculation. CEQA Guidelinessection 15088.5, subdivision (£)(2), provides:
When the EIR is revised only in part and the lead agency isrecirculating only the revised chapters or portions of theEIR, the lead agency may request that reviewers limit theircomments to the revised chapters or portions of therecirculated EIR. The lead agency need only respond to (i)comments received during the initial circulation period thatrelate to chapters or portions of the document that were notrevised and recirculated, and (ii) comments received duringthe recirculation period that relate to the chapters orportions of the earlier EIR that were revised andrecirculated. The lead agency's request that reviewers limitthe scope of their comments shall be included either withinthe text of the revised EIR or by an attachment to therevised ErR.
Pursuant to this provision, the City of Suisun directs that public comments must berestricted to the newly circulated information contained in this document related tocultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, and the Water Supply Assessmentinadvertently not included in the original Draft EIR. (Readers are cautioned, however,
that the City is not the author of the Water Supply Assessment, which was prepared bythe Suisun-Solano Water Authority pursuant to Water Code sections 10910 et seq.)
The City is l10t obligated to respond to any new comments that are directed to theportions of the DEIR that were not revised and are not being recirculated in thisdocument. The Final EIR for the Project will contain detailed responses to all commentsmade on the original Draft EIR and to all comments on this Partially Recirculated DraftEIR that are properly limited to the subjects of Cultural Resources, Hazards andHazardous Materials, and the Water Supply Assessment.

4.1 1 HAZARDS
INTRODUCTION
The Hazards section of the EIR describes existing and potentially occurring hazards andhazardous materials on the project area. The section discusses potential impacts posed bythese hazards to the environment, as well as to workers, visitors, and residents within andadjacent to the project area. More specifically, the section describes potential effects onhuman health that could result from soil or groundwater contamination stemming frompast uses of the project area, exposure to the on-site petroleum pipelines, or on-site highvoltage electrical lines.
. Information in this section is based upon the City of Suisun City General Plan and Title24 of the California Code of Regulations and the Environmental Site Assessment]provided by AEI Consultants. (See Appendix K of this Recirculated Draft EIR.) Pertinentcomments received in response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) and DEIR for theproposed project have been considered in this analysis.
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The project area encompasses an area bounded by State Route 12 (SR 12) to the north,Ledgewood Creek to the west, Southern Pacific railroad tracks east, and marshland to thesouth. The project area is also intersected by Pennsylvania Avenue, Cordelia Road, andSouthern Pacific railroad tracks. (See Figure 4.11-1, Project Location.) Two developedparcels, which are not part of the proposed project, are located at the intersection ofPennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road.
The project area consists of 497.61 gross acres. The annexation properties consist ofapproximately 171.50 acres currently within the jurisdiction of Solano County andplanned to be annexed to the City of Suisun City as part of the project. 321.00 acreslocated in the southern portion of the Project Area is owned by the project applicant andis being considered as a potential mitigation site for wetlands. 5.11 acres of the ProjectArea is already inside the City limits and already zoned. A small portion of the area to beannexed into Suisun City, the Gilbert Parcel, has been used as a landfill site, and astaging area for construction debris by the City of Fairfield. Wetlands occur on a portionof Planning Area 1. Portions of Planning Area(s) 2 and 3 are wetlands/marshland. A largeportion of the southern side of the project area is wetland/marsh land. In addition, KinderMorgan-operated petroleum pipelines run through the subject property in a west to eastorientation. (See Figure 4.11-2 Pipeline Locations.)
Aerial Photographic Site Features
Historic aerial photographs are typically reviewed in the preparation of an environmcntalsite assessment in order to identify any potential past uses of the project area that may
have introduced hazardous conditions or materials onto the site. Aerial photographs ofthe project site for the years 1937, 1957, 1965, 1970, 1982, 1993, and 1998 werereviewed by AEI Consultants during the preparation of their Environmental SiteAssessment.
In the 1937 aerial photograph, the project area appears to be undeveloped marsh land andgrazing land. The project area is bissected by Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road,as well as by railroad tracks and an unnamed drainage ditch. As it still does today, theproperty area then surrounded two developed parcels that are located at the intersectionof Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road. Train tracks were present to the east.Ledgewood Creek is present to the west. The adjacent area to the north appears asundeveloped. The area to the south appears to be marsh land.
The 1957 aerial photograph differs from the previous aerial, in that a fence surrounds theparcel that is currently the closed landfill site location (just east of Pennsylvania Avenueand 200 feet south of current SR 12). Whether or not this parcel, as of 1957, was beingused as a landfill could not be determined.
The 1965 aerial photograph differs from the previous aerial, in that the photographsuggests that the landfill site is being used as such.
Aerial photographs take in 1970 and 1982 do not show any significant changes.
The 1987 aerial photograph differs from the previous serial, in that SR 12 now runs alongthe northern boundary of the project site.
All other subsequent aerial photographs did not note significant changes.
Historic Topographic Maps
Similar to aerial maps, historic topographic maps are reviewed in the preparation ofenvironmental site assessments in order to determine past activities of the project areathat could have introduced hazardous conditions or materials into the project area. In theirpreparation of the Environmental Assessment for the project area, AEI Consultantstherefore reviewed available historic topographic maps of the area.
Based on a review of the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) Fairfield South QuadrangleTopographic Map, AEI determined that the project area is situated from three to sevenfeet above mean sea level, and that the local topography is relatively flat. Two branchesof an un-named drainage ditch traverse the central portion of the project site from northto south. Ledgewood Creek is located adjacent and west of the project site. Based on thetopography map and site observations, groundwater in the area of the project site flowstowards the south. The shallow groundwater zone is clearly situated from zero to threefeet below ground surface (BGS).

Potential On-site Hazards
Landfill
A five-acre site, formerly used as a landfill, is located east of Pennsylvania Avenue onthe Gilbert property. The landfill operated for an unknown period of time before closingin 1979. The site has been used by the City of Fairfield as a staging area for constructiondebris since the early 1980's. Annual inspections have noted deficiencies related to areasof exposed debris and a lack of secure fencing that has led to issues associated withunauthorized encampments. The aunual reports do not note any issues related tohazardous materials or wastes.
Petroleum Pipelines
Petroleum pipelines owned and operated by Kinder Morgan enter the project site on thewest side of Plarming Area(s) I and 2; the pipelines run in a southwest to northeastdirection and exit the project site on the north and east side of Planning Area 4. Onepipeline carries jet fuel from Concord to Travis Air Force Base. The second pipeline iscurrently out of service; previously the pipeline carried petroleum products toSacramento. In 2004, this pipeline failed in an area several miles to the west of theproject site and contaminated the Suisun Marsh with several million gallons of petroleumproduct. This pipeline has since been decommissioned and is currently charged withnitrogen, as is required for all decommissioned pipelines. The third pipeline has replacedthe function of the previously discussed out of service pipeline, and carries petroleumproducts to Sacramento. All three pipelines are visually inspected twice a month. Inaddition, leaks have not been reported from the pipelines in the project area.
Railroad Tracks
Railroad tracks run through and adjacent to the project site, the tracks are surrounded bygravel. Oils containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) and herbicides are typicallyassociated with weed-control activities for railroad tracks.
High Voltage Power Lines
High voltage power lines (HVPLs) traverse the subject property along the southernboundary. HVPLs produce extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields.
REGULATORY CONTEXT
The term hazardous substance refers to both hazardous materials and hazardous wastes.A material is defined as hazardous if it appears on a list of hazardous materials preparedby a federal, state or local regulatory agency or if it has characteristics defined ashazardous by such an agency.
The California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic SubstancesControl (Cal-EPA, DTSC), defines hazardous waste, as the term is found in theCalifornia Health and Safety Code Section 25141 (b), in the following manner:
[... ] its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infections characteristics: (1)cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in seriousirreversible, or incapacitating reversible illness; (2) pose a substantial present or potentialhazard to human health or the environment, due to factors including, but not limited to,carcinogenicity, acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, bioaccumulative properties, orpersistence in the environment, when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposedof, or otherwise managed.
Many agencies regulate hazardous substances. The following discussion contains asummary review of regulatory controls pertaining to hazardous substances, includingfederal, State, and local laws and ordinances.
Federal
Federal agencies that regulate hazardous materials include the Environmental Protectioni\.gency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the UnitedStates Department of Transportation (DOT), and the National Institute of Health (NIH).The following federal laws and guidelines govern hazardous materials.
• Federal Water Pollution Control• Clean Air Act• Occupational Safety and Health Act• Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act• Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act• Guidelines for Carcinogens and Biohazards• Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act Title III• Resource Conservation and Recovery Act• Safe Drinking Water Act• Toxic Substances Control Act
Prior to August 1992, the principal agency at the federal level regulating the generation,transport, and disposal of hazardous waste was the EPA under the authority of theResource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA} As of August I, 1992, however, theDTSC was authorized to implement the State's hazardous waste management programfor the EPA. The federal EPA continues to regulate hazardous substances under theComprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).
State
The Cal-EPA and the State Water Resources Control Board establish rules governing theuse of hazardous materials and the management of hazardous waste. Applicable State andlocal laws include the following:
• Public Safety/Fire Regulations/Building Codes• Hazardous Waste Control Law• Hazardous Substances Information and Training Act• Air Toxics Hot Spots and Emissions Inventory Law• Underground Storage of Hazardous Substances Act• Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act
Within Cal-EPA, DTSC has primary regulatory responsibility, with delegation ofenforcement to local jurisdictions that enter into agreements with the State agency, for themanagement of hazardous materials and the generation, transport, and disposal ofhazardous waste under the authority of the Hazardous Waste Control Law (HWCL).
Local
City of Suisun City General Plan
The following are applicable goals and policies from the City of Suisun City GeneralPlan related to hazards.2
Safety Goal: To decrease the risk to Suisun City resident and workers from natural andhuman hazards to an acceptable level
Objective I: To reduce potential Injury and property damage from seismICactivity.
Policy 6: Building Standards. The siting of all new land uses and theconstruction of all new buildings shall conform to the latest seismicrequirements of the Uniform Building Code, any amendments to that codeadopted by the State Building Standards COll1lllission, and to anyadditional requirements imposed by the Seismic Safety Commission.
Policy 9: Electrical Utility Lines. Except where preempted by Stateor Federal law, no new public or private power, water, sewer or gas lineswill be permitted to identified cross ground failure areas unless reasonablealternative routes are not available or the facility design includes sufficientprovisions to ensure rapid shut-off, minimum disruption of service, andminimum adverse impact on adjacent and surrounding areas in the eventof seismic-induced ground failure. Lines will also be made accessible forroutine maintenance and emergency repairs to minimize the potential forextended service disruption.
Policy 10: Gas and Fuel Lines. The route of the parallel PG&E highpressure gas lines and the jet fuel lines to Travis Air Force Base whichlead through Old Town and along Highway 12 represent a significantpotential hazard to thc community. The pipeline rights-of-way must beprohibited from construction encroachment, and the City will require
dedication of right-of-way for permanent protection where they adjoindevelopable properties.
Policy 12: Mitigate Potential Effects of Exposure to ElectromagneticFields (EMF). There is concern associated with the potential health effectsthat may result from electric and magnetic fields where there is an electriccurrent, including power facilities, transmission lines, and wiring inbuildings, homes and appliances. There is uncertainty within the scientificcommunity regarding amount, longevity and levels of exposure that maybe detrimental to humans and animals. However, the City will respond topublic concerns that exist by considering the potential impacts of proposedland uses that are located in close proximity to electrical facilities and/ortransmission lines. The City will review all development proposals andland use permit requests and determine any mitigation measures, includingdistance separations, that may be appropriate as part of the CEQA process.
IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Standards of Significance
In accordance with CEQA,the effects of a project are evaluated to determine if theywould result in a significant adverse impact on the environment. An EIR is required tofocus on these effects and offer potentially feasible mitigation measures to reduce oravoid any significant impacts that are identified. The criteria, or standards, used todetermine the significance of impacts may vary depending on the nature of the project.For the purposes of this BIR, an impact is considered potentially significant if theproposed project would:
• Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through theroutine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials; or
• Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment throughreasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likelyrelease ofhazardous materials into the environment; or
• Include a stationary source that would involve hazardous emissions or handlehazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within onequarter mile of an existing or proposed school; be located on a site that isincluded on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant toGovernment Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would create a significanthazard to Ll-te public or the environment; or
e Impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergencyresponse plan or emergency evacuation plan; or
• Expose people or structures to the risk of loss, injury, or death involvingwildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas orwhere residences are intermixed with wildlands.
4.1 1-8
Method of Analysis
Site conditions and impact assessments for this chapter are based on the Phase IEnvironmental Site Assessment prepared for the project site by AEI Consultants July2006, and on review of these materials by City staff and Raney Planning andManagement, Inc.
The Environmental Site Assessment includes the results of a search performed for the siteby AEI Consultants. Federal, State, and local databases were searched for data regardingthe project site and surrounding area.
Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
4.11-1 Impacts due to the presence of petroleum pipelines on the project site.
Base Project, Alternative I, and Alternative 2
AEI identified buried Kinder Morgan petroleum pipelines entering the subjectproperty on the west side of Planning Area-l and Planning Area-2. Thepipelines run in a southwest to northeast direction and exit the project site onthe north and east side of Planning Area-4. The three pipelines are situated onthe project site as follows:
•
•
The first pipeline measures 8 inches in diameter and carries jet fuelfrom Concord to Travis Air Force Base. This pipeline was put intoservice in the 1970s.
The second pipeline measures 14 inches in diameter and is currentlyout of service. This pipeline was put into service in the 1960s andcarried multiple petroleum products to Sacramento. In 2004, thispipeline failed in an area several miles to the west of the project siteand contaminated the Suisun March with several million gallons ofpetroleum product. This pipeline has since been decommissioned andis currently charged with nitrogen as is required for alldecommissioned pipelines.
• The third pipeline, put into service in December, 2004, measures 20inches in diameter and serves to replace the out-of-service pipelinepreviously discussed.
All three pipelines are cathodically protected (an electro-magnetic means ofprotecting against corrosion), as well as being visually inspected twice amonth. Leaks have not been reported from the pipelines in the area of theproposed project site. The pipelines appear to be in compliance with presentregulations. However, to certify that the pipelines have not released product
and impacted the subsurface of the subject property, soil samples would needto be collected and analyzed.
The pipelines are in good condition; however, the Suisun General Planprohibits construction encroachment on the pipeline right-of-ways. Inaddition, the General Plan requires the dedication of permanent right-of-wayprotection where the pipelines adjoin development. As the project maps do notindicate right-of-way, or include measures to ensure encroachment does nothappen, the project would have a potentially significant impact on thepipelines.
Mitigation Measure(s)Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce the aboveimpact to a less-than-significant level.
4. 11-1(a)
4. 11-1 (b)
4.11-1 (c)
4.11-1 (d)
Prior to the recording of the final map(s), the site maps shallbe revised to reserve permanent right-of-way for the on-sitepipelines to the satisfaction ofthe City Engineer.
Prior to construction in the petroleum pipeline right-of-way, arepresentative ofthe City's Public Works Department shallcontact representatives from Kinder Morgan and endeavor tomeet with them on the project site in order to prepare sitespecific safety guidelines for construction in the field to thesatisfaction of the Public Works Director. Should KinderMorgan refuse to cooperate, the City shall retain a consultingfirm qualified to assist with the preparation ofsuch guidelines.These guidelines shall include provisions relating to theidentification and protection of existing gas and petroleumpipelines on the project site. The safety guidelines shall benoted on the improvement plans and be included in allconstruction contracts involving the project site.
During construction in the petroleum pipeline right-of-way, anon-site safety manager shall be designated to address anydiscovered release or accidental rupture of the pipeline(s) thatmight occur during construction. The on-site safety managershall obtain and keep in a readily available location theemergency response plans of fuel line operators and theappropriate contact phone numbers for emergencies. Thisrequirement shall be noted on the improvement plans and shallbe included in all construction contracts for the review andapproval ofthe Public Works Director.
To avoid health risks to construction workers, the contractorshall prepare a site Health and Safety Plan. This plan will
4.1 1-10
4.11-1 (e)
4. 11-1(f)
outline measures that will be employed to protect constructionworkers and the public from exposure to hazardous materialsduring remediation, demolition, and construction activities.These measures could include, but would not be limited to,posting notices, limiting access to the site, air monitoring,watering, and installation ofwindfences.
Before site grading and excavation ofsoils in the right-of-wayof the petroleum pipelines, the area shall be evaluated forunusual odors, visible discoloration, or other indications ofsoil contamination. If soils suspected of being contaminatedare encountered, they shall be stockpiled on plastic sheeting.Stockpiled soils shall be sampled in accordance with RWQCBguidelines, and the findings forwarded to the RWQCB forreview. Further remediation, if necessary, and disposal of thesoils shall be conducted in accordance with State and federalguidelines.
Prior to construction in the petroleum pipeline right-of-way,the City shall endeavor to coordinate with Kinder Morgan toensure that service from the pipelines within the project area isnot affected.
4.11-2 Impacts from the landfill.
Base Project, Alternative I, and Alternative 2
A five acre landfill site, identified as the Cordelia Road Landfill and/or theFairfield City Dump, is located on the subject property just east ofPennsylvania Avenue and 200 feet south of SR 12. The landfill was inoperation from at least 1965, when it appeared in aerial photos, until closurein 1979. Since the early 1980s, the site has been used by the City of Fairfieldas a staging area for construction debris.
The landfill is subject to annual inspections by Solano County EnvironmentalHealth Services (SCEHS). Deficiencies noted in most inspection recordsinclude areas of exposed debris, and lack of secure fencing ultimately leadingto issues associated with vagrant encampments. Issues relating to hazardousmaterials or wastes were not noted in the reports.
Although evidence does not exist that hazardous materials were ever disposedof on the site, landfills are commonly recognized sources of leachate.Leachate is a liquid produced when water percolates through the waste, andreacts with the products of decomposition, chemical, and other materialscontained in the landfill. The leachate can contain either dissolved orsuspended material, usually both.

r':;E:·c.~!F,J(:'ULA 77::.:Li [I/?AF'T
(-)~ENlr?}<5V/Su/vpf?OJEC7SEF>TE~1JEJEf{'2006"
Because the landfill was in existence prior to 1965, and leachate collectionsystems. were not commonly required at that time, the possibility exists thatleachate has entered the groundwater. The presence of leachate in thegroundwater could pose an environmental problem and a health risk were theproperties in the landfill area to be developed. Therefore, the landfill site onthe subject property qualifies as a recognized environmental condition.Therefore, development in the vicinity of the landfill could cause a potentiallysignificant impact.
Mitigation Measure(s)Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce the aboveimpact to a lessethan-significant level.
4.11-2 Before site grading and excavation of soils in the landfill siteand the area within i 00 feet of the landfill site in PlanningArea 4, additional soil samples shall be collected and analyzedfor elevated pollutant content. The soil sampling shall bedesigned to determine whether a release exists and hasimpacted the property in the areas to be graded or excavated.The soilsamplingresults-shallbesubmitted to the City in theform of a Phase 11 Investigation. if a release does exist, thefollowing activities shall be performed:
(a) if a release were to be identified, formal regulatoryoversight from the Solano County Environmental HealthDepartment, the State Water Resources Control Board(SWRQB), and/or the Department of Toxic SubstancesControl (DTSC) will be required Site cleanup goals forspecific contaminants detected must be based on currentregulatory requirements and must consider surface waterand groundwater resources, other environmentalreceptors, and possible human exposure based on theland use of the proposed development of the impactedarea(s). Goals are to be based on the San Francisco BayRegional Water Quality Control Board's EnvironmentalScreening Levels (ESLs) and/or the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency (USEPA) Region ]X PreliminaryRemediation Goals (PRGs) and approved by theoverseeing regulatory agency. it should be noted thatthese regulatory guidelines are update periodically; themost recent version of these guidelines available duringthe remediation project shall be utilized Site specificcleanup goals may also be established at the discretion ofthe City that exceed the guidance concentrations in thereferences above only with formal regulatory approval.
4.1 1·12
(b) If the oversight agencies indicate that the soils should behandled as a hazardous waste, excavated soils shall bestockpiled on plastic sheeting. Further remediation, ifnecessary, and disposal of the soils shall be conducted inaccordance with the local, state, and federal standardsspecifically identified by the oversight agencies in theprocess identified in Mitigation Measure 4.11MM-2(A).
(c) Prior to any development within the landfill site and thearea within I 00 feet of the landfill site in Planning Area4, the project proponent shall prepare a site plan thatidentifies remediation activities appropriate for proposedland uses (as determined through the process identified inMM4.I I-2(A)), which may include, but need not belimited to, the following:

Impacts relating the on-site electrical utility lines.
Base Project, Alternative I, and Alternative 2
High voltage power lines (HVPLs) traverse the subject property throughPlanning Area I. Encroachment on the powerline easements could affect theability of PG&E to provide electrical service. In addition, HVPLs produceextremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields, which could raisehealth issues for residents who would spend substantial periods of time inproximity to the lines.
Electric and magnetic fields associated with HVPLs do not travel far beyondthe actual lines themselves. The Suisun City General Plan expresses thecommunity's concern about the potentially harmful effects of ELF radiation,including a potential relationship with increased risk of cancer. However,numerous scientific panels have carried out comprehensive reviews ofavailable data on health effects of ELF fields. (See Chapter 2.0, References.)None of the studies have shown a significant link between cancer and ELFfields. Nonetheless, electrical utilities commonly practice "PrudentAvoidance," which means exercising sound judgment in attempting to keepthe general public out of ELF fields when that can be done at modest cost
As stated above, any potentially adverse effects from ELF fields would be theresult of repeatedly spending lengthy periods of time in close proximity to theHVPLs. The proposed project does not include residential development withinthe easements established for the HVPL lines. Therefore, the lines would nothave an adverse effect on potential project residents, customers, or employees.
However, the construction of the project, including the possibility ofsubstantial fill being placed on the site, could adversely affect the ability ofPG&E to maintain the HVPL lines. Therefore, the impact would beconsidered potentially significant.
Mitigation Measure(s)Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce potentialimpacts due to the presence ofHVPL lines to a less-than-significant level.
4. 11-3(a)
4. 11-3(b)
Prior to construction in the HVPL right-aI-way, the City shallcoordinate with PG&E to ensure that service from thepowerlines within the project area is not affected.
Prior to the construction in the HVPL right-aI-way, the projectcontractor shall coordinate with the Public Works Director inestablishing a utilities relocation plan, which shall includemethods to ensure the provision ofutilities during constructionafthe project.
Impacts due to past chemical usage on the project site.
Base Project, Alternative 1, and Alternative 2
Railroad tracks run through and adjacent to the subject property. Oilscontaining polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and herbicides are typicallyassociated with weed-control activities for railroad tracks. The railroad trackslocated on and adjacent to the subject property are surrounded by gravel.Based on the presence of gravel, the use of oils and herbicides associated withweed control is expected to be minimal, and therefore does not represent asignificant environmental concern. Furthermore, documented releases onthese railroad tracks were not noted on the regulatory database.
As for the remainder of the subject property, addresses have never beenassigned to the individual parcels, nor have these parcel ever been utilized foranything other than grazing land. As such, no further information wasavailable from the SCEHS regarding potential chemical usage. However,unlike more intensive agricultural usage, grazing does not usually include theextensive use of pesticides or fertilizers. Therefore, pesticide byproducts orresidues in the soil would not be expected to pose a significant impact.
However, as the potential exists for chemical residues to occur adjacent torailroad right-of-way, a potentially significant impact related to chemicalresidues on the project site would result.
Mitigation Measure(s)Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce potentialimpacts due to the presence of chemical residues to a less-than-significantlevel.
4.11-4 Before site grading and excavation ofsoils in the right-ofwayof the railroad tracks, additional soil samples shall becollected and analyzed for elevated pollutant content. The soilsampling shall be designed to determine whether a releaseexists and has impacted the right-ofway area. The soilsampling results shall be submitted to the City in the form ofaPhase II Investigation. If a release does exist, the followingactivities shall be performed:
(a) If a release were to be identified, formal regulatoryoversight from the Solano County Environmental HealthDepartment, the State Water Resources Control Board(SWRQB), and/or the Department of Toxic SubstancesControl (DTSC) will be required. Site cleanup goals forspecific contaminants detected must be based on currentregulatory requirements and must consider surface water
and groundwater resources, other environmentalreceptors, and possible human exposure based on theland use of the proposed development of the impactedarea(s). Goals are to be based on the San Francisco BayRegional Water Quality Control Board's EnvironmentalScreening Levels (ESLs) and/or the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency (USEPA) Region IX PreliminaryRemediation Goals (PRGs) and approved by theoverseeing regulatory agency. It should be noted thatthese regulatory guidelines are update periodically; themost recent version of these guidelines available duringthe remediation project shall be utilized. Site specificcleanup goals may also be established at the discretion ofthe City that exceed the guidance concentrations in thereferences above only with formal regulatory approval.
(b) If the oversight agencies indicate that the soils should behandled as a hazardous waste, excavated soils shall bestockpiled on plastic sheeting. Further remediation, ifnecessary, and disposal ofthe soils shall be conducted inaccordance with the local, state, and federa/standardsspecifically identified by the oversight agencies in theprocess identified in Mitigation Measure 4. 11MM-4(A).
(c) Prior to any development within the railroad track rightof-way, the project proponent shall prepare a site planthat identifies remediation activities appropriate forproposed land uses (as determined through the processidentified in MM4.11-4(A)), which may include but not belimited to:
• Excavation and removal ofonsite contaminated soils,and redistribution ofclean fill material on the projectsite.
• Measures that ensure the safe transport, use, anddisposal of contaminated soil and building debrisremovedfrom the site.
• In the event that contaminated groundwater isencountered during site excavation activities, theproject proponent shall report the contamination toappropriate regulatory agencies, dewater theexcavated area, and treat the contaminatedgroundwater to remove contaminants beforedischarge in the sanitary sewer system. The projectproponent shall be required to comply with the siteplan and applicable local, state, andfederal laws for
dewatering discharge. The site plan shall outlinemeasures for specific handling and reportingprocedures.
(d) Upon completion of remediation, formal writtenregulatory concurrence that the releasers) have beenmitigated shall be obtained and submitted to the Cityprior issuance of grading permits on the impactedproperty.
Cumulative Impacts and Mitigation Measures
4.11-5
Endnotes
Long-term hazard-related impacts from the proposed project incombination with existing and future developments in the project area.
Base Project, Alternative 1, and Alternative 2
Impacts associated with hazardous materials are site-specific and generally donot affect or are not affected by cumulative development. Cumulative effectscould be of concern if the project were, for example, part of a largerdevelopment in which industrial processes that would use hazardous materialswere proposed. However, this is not the case with this project, and projectspecific impacts were found to be less-than-significant with theimplementation of the recommended mitigation measures. In addition,surrounding development would be subject to the same federal, State, andlocal hazardous materials management requirements as the proposed project,which would minimize potential risks associated with increased hazardousmaterials use in the community, including potential effects, if any, on theproposed project. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project wouldhave a less-than-significant impact associated with cumulative hazardousmaterials use.
Mitigation Measure(s)None required.
I Site Assessment, AEI Consultants, Inc., September 2006.2 City afSuisun City General Plan, April 1991.
This section of the EIR describes cultural (prehistoric and historical) resources potentiallylocated on the project site. Prehistoric resources are those sites and artifacts associatedwith indigenous, non-Euroamerican population, generally prior to contact with people ofEuropean descent. Historical resources include structures, features, artifacts and sites thatdate from Euroamerican settlement of the region. The extent to which development of theproposed project could remove, damage, or destroy existing historic or prehistoricresources is evaluated.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Project Location
The Project Area consists of 497.61 gross acres. The annexation properties consist ofapproximately 171.50 acres currently within the jurisdiction of Solano County andplanned to be annexed to thc City of Suisun City as part of the project. 321.00 acreslocated in the southern portion of the Project Area is owned by the project applicant andis being considered as a potential mitigation site for wetlands. 5.11 acres of the ProjectArea is already inside the City limits and already zoned. The Proj ect Area lies in portionsof Rancho Suisun and other unsectioned lands in T4N and T5N, R2W, MDBM, and ismapped on the Fairfield South 7.5' USGS topographic quadrangle (Figure 4.12-1).
Archaeological Background
The Central Valley region was among the first in the state to attract intensive fieldworkand research has continued to the present day. The extensive research has resulted in asubstantial accumulation of data. In the early decades of the 1900s, EJ. Dawson explorednumerous sites near Stockton and Lodi, later collaborating with W.E. Schenck (Schenckand Dawson 1929). By 1933, the focus of work was directed to the Cosumnes locality,where survey and exploration were conducted by the Sacramento Junior College (Lillardand Purves 1936). Excavation data, in particular, from the stratified Windmiller Site(CA-Sac-107) suggested two temporally distinct cultural traditions.
Later work at other mounds by Sacramento Junior College and the University ofCalifornia enabled the investigators to identify a third cultural tradition intermediatebetween the previously postulated early and late horizons. The three-horizon sequencewas based on discrete changes in ornamental artifacts and mortuary practices as well asan observed difference in soils within sites (Lillard, Heizer and Fenenga 1939). Thissequence was later refilled by Beardsley (1954), with an expanded definition of artifactsdiagnostic of each time period and was extended to parts of the central California coast.Traits held in common allow the application of this system within certain limits of timeand space to other areas of prehistoric central California.
The Windmiller Culture (Early Horizon) is characterized by ventrally-extended burials(some dorsal extensions are known), with westerly orientation of heads, a highpercentage of burials with grave goods, frequent presence of red ocher in graves, largeprojectile points, of which 60 percent are of materials other than obsidian; rectangularHaliotis beads; Olivella shell beads (types Ala and L); rare use of bone; some use ofbaked clay objects; and well-fashioned charmstones, usually perforated.
The Cosunmes Culture (Middle Horizon) displays considerable changes from thepreceding cultural expression. The burial mode is predominately flexed, with variablecardinal orientation and some cremations present. The percentage of burials with gravegoods is lower, and ocher staining is common in graves. Olivella beads of types CI, Fand G predominate, and there is abundant use of green Haliotis sp. rather than redHaliotis sp. Other characteristic artifacts include perforated canid teeth, asymmetricaland "fishtail" charmstones, usually unperforated; cobble mortars and evidence of woodenmortars; extensive use of bone for tools and ornaments; large projectile points, withconsiderable use of rock other than obsidian; and use of baked-clay.
Hotchkiss Culture (Late Horizon) -- The burial pattern retains the use of the flexed mode,and there is widespread evidence of cremation, lesser use of red ocher, heavy use ofbaked clay, Olivella beads of Types E and M, extensive use of Haliotis ornaments ofmany elaborate shapes and forms, shaped mortars and cylindrical pestles, bird-bone tubeswith elaborate geometric designs, clamshell disc beads, small projectile points indicativeof the introduction of the bow and arrow, flanged tubular pipes of steatite and schist, anduse of magnetite (the above adapted from Moratto 1984:181-183). The characteristicsnoted above are not all-inclusive, but cover the more important traits.
More recently, Bennyhoff and Hughes (1984) have presented alternative dating schemesfor the Central California Archaeological Sequence. The primary emphasis is a moreelaborate division of the Horizons to reflect what is seen as cultural/temporal changeswithin the three horizons and a compression of the temporal span.
Other chronologies have been proposed for this general region (Table 4.12-1, Period andDating). Fredrickson (1973) has correlated his research with Bennyhoff's (1977) work,and has defined, based upon the work of Bennyhoff, patterns, phases, and aspects.Fredrickson also proposed periods of time associated heavily with economic modes,which provides a temporal tenn for comparing contemporary cultural entities.
Various modifications have been proposed for the dates given in the table below, but itprovides a basic temporal correlation for the two main chronologies in the general projectvicinity. It is important to note that this is oilly afraniework and that the identificaiion ofregional and local variations from the pattern is a major goal of current archaeologicalresearch. Nevertheless, the succession of major cultural changes at approximately thesame time period is characteristic over a large part of California.

(Bennyhoffand Heizer 1958; Schulz 1981)
The Patwin peoples occupied the southern Sacramento Valley west of the SacramentoRiver from the town of Princeton, north of Colusa, south to San Pablo and Suisun bays.Patwin territory extended approximately 90 miles north to south and 40 miles east towest. Distinction is made between the River Patwin, who resided in large villages nearthe Sacramento River, especially between Colusa and Knights Landing, and the HillPatwin, whose villages were situated in the small valleys along the lower hills of theVaca Mountains and Coast Range, with concentrations in Long, Indian, Bear, Capay,Cortina and Napa valleys (Johnson 1978:350; Powers 1877:218). The term "Patwin"refers to the people belonging to the many small contiguous independent political entitiesin this area who shared linguistic and cultural similarities. Hill and River Patwin dialectsare grouped into a North Patwin language, separate from South Patwin, spoken by peoplewho live near present-day Knight's Landing and Suisun. Together, these are classified assouthern Wintuan and belong to the Penutian language family as do the languages of theMiwok and Costanoan peoples in the study cOlTidor (Jolu1son 1978:350, 359; Kroeber1925:351-354).
Politically, the Patwin were organized in small tribes or tribelets, each consisting of aprimary village with satellite villages. Tribelets were autonomous and differed fromother such units in minor cultural variations. Dialects might encompass several tribelets.Territories were vaguely defined, but included fishing and gathering areas used by thegroup. In each village, a leader or chief administered subsistence ventures, such as
CHAPTEe 4. 1 2 "'-' CUL'TlJRAL F<CSOURCE::.3

SEJ:.YTEil1BEl? 2006
hunting or gathering, and presided over ceremonies. Social and economic activities weredivided among families within a village, with certain families responsible for differentspecialties such as trapping ducks, collecting salt, making foot drums, or performingparticular dances or shamanistic rituals (Johnson 1978:354-355).
Patwin territory includes the riverine environment of tule marshes, vines and brush nearthe Sacramento River, the flat grasslands dotted with oak groves, and the hills and smallvalley of the Coast Ranges. The villages situated on low bluffs near the river were oftenvery large; in 1848, General Bidwell estimated at least 1,000 residents at Koru, nearColusa (Powers 1877:219). In the hills, the Patwin settled in the small valleys,particularly along Cache and Putah creeks, where large populations were reported. Theplains were least hospitable. In the plains, villages were sparse because of the seasonalflooding in winter and lack of reliable water sources during the dry months. As Powersdescribed:
In winter there was too much water on them, in summer none at all, andaborigines had no means ofprocuring an artificial supply. Besides therewas no wood on them, and the overflowed portions in early summer breedmillions of accursed gnats, which render human life a burden andweariness. Hence they were compelled to live beside water-sources,except during certain limited periods in the winter, when they establishedhunting-camps out on the plains (Powers 1877:219).
Kroeber noted that the Patwin responded to these seasonal changes by shifting theirhabitation sites:
The valley people evidently had their permanent villages on the river itself-- that is, in the marsh belt -- but appear to have left this during the dryhalf of the year to live on the adjacent plains, mostly by the side oftributaries. The uplandpeople built their winter homes where the streamsissue on these creeks, and in summer moved away from the main watercourses into the hills or mountains (Kroeber 1925:354).
Within a village, the Patwin constructed earth-covered semisubterranean structures. TheHill Patwin used a circular floor plan while the River Patwin favored an elliptical shape.Four types of building occurred in a predictable pattern: 1) the ceremonial dance housewas placed a short distance to the north or south of the village, 2) the sudatory or sweathouse was positioned to the east or west of the dance house, and 3) the menstrual hut wasbuilt on the edge of the village, farthest from the dance house. The fourth type, familydwellings, could be erected anywhere within the community. Family lodges were builtby one's paternal relatives while the other structures were the product of a communaleffort. They used readily available materials, forming a framework of saplings, andcovering the walls and roof with mud and brush (Johnson 1978:357-358; Powers1877:220-221).
Natural resources flourished in Patwin territory. They gathered seeds and plant foods andhunted game animals on the plains, shot or netted ducks and other migratory waterfowl in
4.12-5
the thick tule marshes, and netted salmon and other fish in the rivers and streams. Someof these activities were conducted by groups or families assigned to particular resourceareas by a village chief. Acorns were a staple in the Patwin diet. Two types of Valleyoak and, rarely, live oak acorns were gathered at (;orruIlllllaily-oWfied groves (Johnson1978:355). At privately-owned gathering tracts on the plains, families gathered seeds,including sunflower, alfilaria, clover, bunchgrass, wild oat and yellow-blossom. ThePatwin also collected a variety of bulbs, nuts, roots and berries, including buckeye, pinenuts, juniper berries, manzanita berries, blackberries, wild grapes, brodiaea bulbs, andtule roots. To obtain salt, the Patwin scraped off rocks that were found near Cortina,burned a grass that grew on the plains, or obtained it in trade from the neighboring Porno(Johnson 1978:355).
King salmon, silver salmon, and steelhead trout that run from the ocean to fresh-waterrivers and streams were an important diet item. Explorers observed Patwin fishing forsalmon with a boom net in 1854 (Heizer and Elsasser 1980: Figure 37). The Patwin alsocaught smaller fish and collected mussels from the river bottom. They attracted wildducks by setting out realistic decoys, then drove the fowl into large nets stretched abovethe marshes. Hunters also netted mud hens, geese, and quail. The Suisun tribelet pursuedwaterfowl in tule rafts (Powers 1877:220)" Tb,e Pat'Nin hunted large gfu'11e, such as tuleelk, deer, antelope and bear, and took many varieties of small animals, reptiles, insectsand birds either to eat or to use for ceremonial and practical materials (Johnson
The ceremonial life of the Patwin was centered on the Kuksu cult system, which featuresone or more secret societies, each with its own dances and rituals. The Kuksu cult occursamong several north central California tribes, but the cult was more elaborate among thePatwin who possessed three secret societies: the Kuksu, ghost, and Hesi types, each witha slightly different purpose. The ghost society stressed initiation, the Kuksu emphasizedcuring the shamanistic functions, and the Hesi elaborated on ceremonial dancing(Johnson 1978:353). In addition to ritual duties, shamans were called upon to heal thesick by applying native medicines or by sucking out the offending spiritual cause of theillness. The Patwin generally buried their dead, although the tribelets furthest south mayhave cremated the deceased. The Patwin near Colusa bent the body, wrapped it withstrings of shell money, and covered it with an animal skin secured with ropes. Theyinterred the corpse with material goods in a grave situated within a village or within 100yards ofadwelling or dance house (Kroeber 1925:359-361).
Historic accounts of the Patwin include the early mission registers of baptisms, marriagesand deaths ofIndians takento Mission Dolores and Mission San Jose as early as 1800. In1823, Mission San Francisco Solano was established in nearby Sonoma and it continuedthe missions' work until' about 1832-1836, when all the missions were secularized.During the Mexican period of the 1830s and 1840s, Mariano G. Vallejo maintainedmilitary control of the area and often negotiated with Patwin leader Chief Solano. Duringthis time, several Mexican land grants were awarded and large ranchos were establishedon Putah and Cache creeks (Johnson 1978:351).
Pre-contact population is difficult to estimate, but a survey of various sources seems toindicate that the Patwin may have numbered 4,000 before their first encounter with nonIndians. Missionization, punitive military expeditions, and fatal confrontations withranchers took their toll on the populace. John Work's party of trappers from the HudsonsBay Company came down the Sacramento River in 1832, returning up the river in 1833.They unintentionally introduced a deadly disease to native California and, in their wake,a malaria epidemic swept through the Sacramento Valley. Just four years later, in 1837,smallpox raged through the villages and, as a result of these diseases, up to 75 percent ofthe Patwin died (Cook 1955). Those who survived these tragedies eventually settled onsmall reservations or worked as ranch laborers. Throughout the 1800s and 1900s, thepopulation decreased; in 1972, the Bureau of Indian Affairs counted only II Patwin inthe entire territory. Three reservations -- Colusa, Cortina and Rumsey -- remain active informer Patwin territory. These reservations are occupied primarily by descendants of theWintuo and other groups (Bureau ofIndian Affairs 1983; Johnson 1978:352).
Historical Background
Within Solano County, five Mexican land grants were recognized by the United Statesgovermnent, including Rancho Suisun. The land grant was given to Francisco Solano in1837. In his petition for four leagues of land, Solano identified himself as the "prinicpalchief of the unconverted Indians and bam captain of the Suisun." The grant was madetemporaily to Solano, and later approved by Govemor Pia Pico in 1845. The holding waspurchased first by M.G. Vallejo, who later sold it to Archibald Ritchie. Ritchie receivedthe federal patent for the land in 1857 (Hoover, Rensch and Rensch 1970: 511).
In 1850, Curtis Wilson and Dr. John Baker sailed up Suisun Creek and landed at the presentsite of Suisun City, described as "an island in the midst ofthe tulc lands that form a marshydesert lying between the Potrero hills and Benicia" (Wood & Alley 1879: 290). CaptainJosiah Wing began to run schooners and other craft to the island in the summer of 1850, andsettled there in 185!. In that year, he built the first building in the City, a warehouse. In1851, the first store was opened here.
The first post office was established at Suisun in 1854. This post office was moved toBarton's Store in 1857, and discontinued in 1858. A post office at Suisun City was alsoestablished at Suisun City in 1857, this is the post office branch that continues to today(Frickstad 1955).
In 1868, the residents petitioned the County Board of Supervisors, and the City wasincorporated. In 1879, the town had 1,800 residents.
The California Pacific Railroad Company was incorporated in 1865. The route was builtfrom South Vallej a to Sacramento, with construction beginning in 1866. The line wasleased to the Central Pacific Railroad in 1876. The original route transected the northernsection of the project area. The 1872 Solano County map shows the original route of theCalifornia Pacific Railroad, crossing the southern portion of Fairfield from northeast tosouthwest.

The 1877 County map published in the 1878 Solano County Atlas shows the CaliforniaPacific route, crossing Ledgewood Creek to the north of the current crossing. Anaccompanying map shows the route of the line through City blocks, and shoW's the locationof the depot, near the junction of Illinois and Jackson Streets. The 1877 County map alsoshows the route of the Northern Railway Company, which cut through the eastern potion ofFairfield and joining the California Pacific at the eastern edge of Fairfield. The NorthernRailway Company incorporated in 1871. The route was built from West Oakland to a pointnear Martinez between 1876 and 1878. A section was built from Benicia to Suisun,completed in December 1879. In 1898, the Northern Railway Company consolidated withthe Southern Pacific (Fickewirth 1990: 90).
Between 1877 and 1890, the railroad was re-routed. Instead of following the route acrossFairfield, the line followed the route of the Northern Railway southward, then turningwestward south of Fairfield on the west side of Suisun City. The railroad station was alsomoved to the joint line of the railroads. The town was connected to nearby Fairfield by aplank road of nearly a mile in length, with the depot of the California Pacific Railroadlocated midway between the rival towns.
The project area does not appear to have ever been occupied. In 1872, only one portion ofthe project area has an owner indicated--the northeastern parcel was owned by Reeves &Payton; Reeves isa.pparently D.D: Reeves, considered the "fa.thetof Sliislil1:"· Reevescrossed the plains in 1852, ending up in Suisun in November of that year. He worked asa blacksmith on a farm owned by a Mr. Ledgewood. He worked there until 1857, thenmoved into Suisun City. He developed the canal to the bay, and was active in many lcoalinstitutions.
In 1877, the land was owned by two of the large landowners in the region: Lewis Pierce andJoseph Cunningham. Cunningham's home was just west of the project area (Solano CountyAtlas 1878). Lewis Pierce was also an early settler in the Suisun area, having arrived there inabout 1860 (Wood & Alley 1879: 434).
By 1890, the major portion of the project area was owned by Lewis and William Pierce. D.D. Reeves owned the south half of the northeast section, with Mrs. Payton owning the northhalf (Official County Map 1890). By 1909, the Pierces still owned most of the project area.Mrs. Payton still owned the northern section of the northeastern portion of the project area.The south half had been transferred to Haile et al. Mrs. Haile, later Alden, was the daughterof the former owner, D. D. Reeves (Official Map of Solano County 1909, 1915; Hunt andGunn 1926:5).
The remnant berm of the earlier railroad route lies within the project area, and has beenrecorded. The main route became the Southern Pacific line (Official County Map 1909).The section of the route between Sacramento and Suisun was commonly known as the"CAL-P" (Fickewirth 1990:24).

In 1925, the City of Suisun had a population of about 900, with two banks, five hotels, andthree churches (Hunt and Gunn 1926: 239).
Buildings were not present within the project area through 1918 (Suisun 1:31,680). The1949 I :24,000 Suisun topographic map did not show buildings in the project area. Thephotorevision in 1980 indicates the addition of a building along the western edge of thesouthern tract of land.
REGULATORY CONTEXT
Federal, State, and local governments have developed laws and regulations designed toprotect significant cultural resources that may be affected by actions that they undertakeor regulate. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), National HistoricPreservation Act (NHPA), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) are thebasic federal and state laws governing preservation of historic and archaeologicalresources of national, regional, State and local significance.
Federal Regulations
Federal regulations for cultural resources are governed primarily by Section 106 of theNHPA of 1966. Section 106 ofNHPA requires Federal agencies to take into account theeffects of their undertakings on historic properties and affords the Advisory Council onHistoric Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings. TheCouncil's implementing regulations, "Protection of Historic Properties" are found in 36Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 800. The goal of the Section 106 review processis to offer a measure of protection to sites that are determined eligible for listing on theNational Register of Historic Places. The criteria for determining National Registereligibility are found in 36 CFR Part 60. Amendments to the Act (1986 and 1992) andsubsequent revisions to the implementing regulations have, among other things,strengthened the provisions for Native American consultation and participation in theSection 106 review process. While federal agencies must follow federal regulations, mostprojects by private developers and landowners do not require this level of compliance.Federal regulations only come into play in the private sector if a project requires a federalpermit or if it uses federal money. For the Gentry-Suisun Project, the landowner willhave to obtain wetland fill permits (also known as "404 permits") from the United StatesArmy Corps of Engineers (USACE) before being able to develop portions of the ProjectArea. In determining whether to approve such permits and on what conditions, theUSACE will be charged with complying with Section 106. The City of Suisun, as alocal agency not subject to the NHPA, has no obligations under Section 106, though itsduties under CEQA (described below) are very similar to those of federal agencies underSection 106.
State Regulations
Under CEQA, public agencies must consider the effects of their actions on both"historical resources" and "unique archaeological resourccs." Pursua.'1t to PublicResources Code section 21084.1, a "project that may cause a substantial adverse change

in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effecton the environment." Section 21083.2 requires agencies to determine whether proposedprojects would have effects on "unique archaeological resources."
"Historical resource" is a term of art with a defined statutory meaning. (See PublicResources Code, § 21084.1; CEQA Guidelines, § 15064.5, subds. (a), (b).) The termembraces any resource listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the CaliforniaRegister of Historical Resources (CRHR). The CRHR includes resources listed in orformally determined eligible for listing in the NRHP, as well as some California StateLandmarks and Points of Historical Interest.
Properties of local significance that have been designated under a local preservationordinance (local landmarks or landmark districts) or that have been identified in a localhistorical resources inventory may be eligible for listing in the CRHR and are presumedto be "historical resources" for purposes of CEQA unless a preponderance of evidenceindicates otherwise (Public Resources Code, § 5024.1; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 4850).Unless a resource listed in a survey has been demolished, lost substantial integrity, orthere is a preponderance of evidence indicating that it is otherwise not eligible for listing,a lead agency should consider the resource to be potentially eligible for the CRI-iR.
In addition to assessing whether historical resources potentially impacted by a proposedproject are listed or have been identified in Ii survey process; lead agenCies have aresponsibility to evaluate them against the CRHR criteria prior to making a finding as toa proposed project's impacts to historical resources (Public Resources Code, § 21084.1;CEQA Guidelines, § 15064.5, subd. (a)(3)). In general, an historical resource, under thisapproach, is defined as any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, ormanuscript that:
(a) Is historically or archeologically significant, or is significant in the architectural,engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political or culturalannals of California; and
(b) Meets any of the following criteria:
1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broadpatterns of California's history and cultural heritage;
2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method ofconstruction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, orpossesses high artistic values; or
4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory orhistory.
(CEQA Guidelines, § 15064.5, subd. (a)(3).) Archaeological resources can sometimesqualify as "historical resources." (Id, subd. (c)(l).) Additionally, Public Resources Code5024 requires consultation with the Office of Historic Preservation when a project mayimpact historical resources located on State-owned land.
As noted above, CEQA also requires lead agencies to consider whether projects willimpact "unique archaeological resources." Public Resources Code section 21083.2,subdivision (g), states that '''unique archaeological resource' means an archaeologicalartifact, object, or site about which it can be clearly demonstrated that, without merelyadding to the current body of knowledge, there is a high probability that it meets any ofthe following criteria:
1. Contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions andthat there is a demonstrable public interest in that information.
2. Has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest of its type or the bestavailable example of its type.
3. Is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historicevent or person."
(Public Resources Code, § 21083.2, subd. (g).)
A non-unique archaeological resource is defined as an archaeological artifact, object, orsite that does not meet the above criteria. Non-unique archaeological resources do notreceive further consideration under CEQA.
Section 7050.5(b) of the California Health and Safety code specifies protocol whenhuman remains are discovered. The statute provides as follows:
In the event of discovery or recognition of any humanremains in any location other than a dedicated cemetery,there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of thesite or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlieadjacent remains until the coroner of the county in whichthe human remains are discovered has determined, inaccordance with Chapter 10 (commencing with Section27460) of Part 3 of Division 2 of Title 3 of the GovernmentCode, that the remains are not subject to the provisions ofSection 27492 of the Government Code or any other relatedprovisions of law concerning investigation of thecircumstances, marmer and cause of death, and therecommendations concerning treatment and disposition ofthe human remains have been made to the personresponsible for the excavation, or to his or her authorizedrepresentative, in the manner provided in Section 5097.98of the Public Resources Code.
CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5, subdivision (e), requires that excavation activities bestopped whenever human remains are uncovered and that the county coroner be called into assess the remains. If the county coroner determines that the remains are those ofNative Americans, the Native AIIlericaIl Heritage Commission must be contacted within24 hours. At that time, the lead agency must consult with the appropriate NativeAIIlericans, if any, as timely identified by the Native AIIlerican Heritage Commission.Section 15064.5 directs the lead agency (or applicant), under certain circumstances, todevelop an agreement with the Native Americans for the treatment and disposition of theremains.
Advice on procedures to identify such resources, evaluate their importance, and estimatepotential effects is given in several agency publications such as the series produced by theGovernor's Office of Planning and Research (aPR). The technical advice series producedby aPR strongly recommends that Native American COhcerns and the concerns of otherinterested persons and corporate entities, including, but not limited to, museums,historical commissions, associates and societies be solicited as part of the process ofcultural resources inventory. In addition, California law protects Native Americanburials, skeletal remains and associated grave goods regardless of the antiquity andprovides for the sensitive treatment aIld disposition of those remains3

California Historic Register
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) also maintains the California Register ofHistorical Resources (CRHR). Properties that are listed on the National Register ofHistoric Places (NRHP) are automatically listed on the CRHR, along with StateLandmark and Points of Interest. The CRHR can also include properties designated underlocal ordinances or identified through local historical resource surveys.

City of Suisun City General Plan
The Suisun City General Plan acknowledges that "archaeologically sensitive areas do liewithin the Suisun Marsh Protection District south of Old Town, in the foothills north ofFairfield, and in the Cordelia Area." However, the General Plail does not contain goals orpolicies related to the preservation of archaeological resources.
Extensive historic resources are located in the Old Town of Suisun City. The Old Town isprotected by a historic district designation. However, the General Plan does not containgoals or policies regarding the preservation of archaeological or historic sites.

IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
Standards of Significance
Impacts to cultural resources are considered significant if implementation of the Projectwould result in any of the following:
• A substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource;
• A substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource;
• Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside or formal cemeteries.
As noted above, CEQA provides that a project may cause a significant environmentaleffect where the project "may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance ofan historical resource[.]" (Public Resources Code, § 21084.1 (emphasis added).) CEQAGuidelines section 15064.5 defines a "substantial adverse change in the significance of anhistorical resource" to mean "physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration ofthe resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of an historicalresource would be materially impaired." (CEQA Guidelines, § 15064.5, subd. (b)(l)(emphasis added).)
CEQA Guidelines, section 15064.5, subdivision (b)(2), defines "materially impaired" forpurposes of the definition of "substantial adverse change ..." as follows:
"The significance of an historical resource is materially impaired when aproject:
(A) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner thosephysical characteristics of an historical resource that convey itshistorical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibilityfor, inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources; or
(B) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner thosephysical characteristics that account for its inclusion in a localregister of historical resources pursuant to section 5020.1 (k) of thePublic Resources Code or its identification in an historicalresources survey meeting the requirements of section 5024.1(g) ofthe Public Resources Code, unless the public agency reviewing theeffects of the project establishes by a preponderance of evidencethat the resource is not historically or culturally significant; or
(C) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner thosephysical characteristics of a historical resource that convey itshistorical significance and that justify its eligibility for inclusion in
the California Register of Historical Resources as determined by alead agency for purposes of CEQA."
(CEQA Guidelines, § 15064.5, subd. (b)(2).)
Methods of Analysis
Records Search/NAHC
As part of the Cultural Resources Assessment by Peak & Associates, two recordssearches to identify previously recorded cultural resources and cultural resourceinvestigations was performed by the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of theCalifornia Historical Resources Infonnation Center. In addition, a letter was sent to theNative American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento requesting a list ofcontacts that might supply information regarding Native American concerns regardingthe project. Letters requesting information were sent to the individuals on the list ofcontacts. Peak & Associates also requested that the NAHC check their sacred lands fileto further determine the potential for cultural resources on the site.
The Peak & Associates Cultural Resources Assessment notes the majority of the ProjectArea had not been previously surveyed. One section had been surveyed for the FairfieldStreams project by Sannie Kenton and Patti Johnson of the Corps of Engineers in 1984;Due to the age of the survey and the lack of complete information on the study, the areawas re-surveyed.
One site was located adjacent to the Project Area: the extant, in-use rail line shown on theexisting project maps was recorded and assigned Prirnary numbers P-48-000549/P-57000400. The line is the current Union Pacific route; it was formerly the route of theCalifornia Pacific line, before it became the Southern Pacific route, then the UnionPacific, through acquisitions and mergers.
Field Survey
The Project Area was inspected in June 2006, by a crew headed by Ann S. Peak, SeniorArcheologist. The entire Project Area was surveyed by foot, using parallel transectsspaced not more than 15 meters apart. In addition to the walking transects, areas wheresubsurface material had been brought up to the surface via rodent activity were carefullyexamined. Surface scrapes and a number of small holes were excavated with a trowel toexamine the sediments for the presence of artifacts.
Site P-48-004549/P-57-000400
This site lies between the northern and southern sections of the project area, and along theeastern edge of the project site. The site consists of an in-use railway. The railway is ownedand operated by the Union Pacific Railroad.

Site PA-06-118A
This is the site of a small group of features related to previous agricultural use of the land.The site is located near the western edge of Planning Area 5 just east of O'Rehr Road. Thesite consists of four features in a line parallel to the road.
From north to south, the features are: a concrete water tank, a collapsed wind mill, a woodplatform that once supported wooden water tanks and a collapsed barn or shed. Theconcrete water tank is fifteen feet in diameter and about three feet deep and is stamped"Golden Gate". The windmill has a pump still present and the remains of the rest of thestructure, entirely collapsed. The wooden platform, about eight feet wide by thirteen feetlong, is covered by metal hoops and wooden staves from the collapsed two tanks. The sizeof the bam or shed cannot be accurately determined because it has thoroughly collapsed.The barn or shed appears to have been a wood frame structure with corrugated metal sidingandroofmg.
Site PA-06-119A
The route of an abandoned railroad crosses much of the northwest comer of the ProjectArea, Planning Area 1. This is evidenced by an earthen berm with ditches on both sides.The berm averages about three feet higher than the surrounding land and is eighteen feetwide on average. Including the slopes on the sides of the berm and the width of the ditches,the feature is twenty-eight feet wide over most of its length. The berm is paralleled on bothsides by modem power lines and telephone lines on wooden poles.
The feature is about 1600 feet long but there is a gap of about 300 feet where it appears thatpower equipment was used to remove the berm, possibly to use the soil as fill. Rail spikesor ties were not found anywhere along the feature.
Resource Evaluations
Site P-48-004549/P-57-000400
All rail lines and systems, big and small, were in the broadest sense important inCalifornia history, as they allowed goods and services to be delivered to remote sectionsof the State, as well as allowing manufactured goods and agricultural products to bedelivered from rural areas to wider markets. Therefore, all rail routes contributed to theeconomic development of the State, and still remain important in the State for exactly thesame reason.
However, in measuring the integrity of the site, the authenticity of an historical resource'sphysical identity as evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during theresource's period of significance must be weighed. This rail line has had all componentsreplaced through routine maintenance over the years; the setting of the rail line has beendrastically changed through over a hundred thirty years of development in the region; andthe resource appears to retain only integrity of location. Therefore, Peak and Associates
CHAPTET<: 4. j 2 --- C .n...:TUfU-\L nL::SOL' :;;,C:L:0::4.12-15
concluded that the railway is not significant under the criteria of the California Registerof Historical Resources, or for the National Register of Historic Places.
SitePA-06-118A
The features located on the site appear to relate to the recent land use of area, and arerelated to the bam that was constructed nearby between 1949 and 1980. The features arenot associated with important individuals or events in history, are in no way distinctivefeatures, and cannot yield important information on the history of the local area.Therefore, the site is not eligible for the California Register or the National Register.
SitePA-06-119A
The site consists of the berm. of the bIder rbute of the California Pacific fiiil line, built inthe mid-1860s, and re-routed between 1877 and 1890. Portions of the berm have beendestroyed over the years, and other features associated with the railroad use of the bermare not present. The berm lacks integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship,feeling and association. Therefore, the site is not eligible for the California Register or theNational Register.
Sites eligible for the California Register or National Register do not exist in the nrc>"""
Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
4.12-1 Impacts to prehistoric resources on the project site.
Base Project, Alternative 1, and Alternative 2
The NWlC search conducted by Peak & Associates determined that uniquearchaeological resources or historical resources have not been recorded on oradjacent to the project site. In addition, the NAHC did not discover any listings inthe Sacred Lands File that would conflict with the proposed project. As ofSeptember 2006, replies had not been received from the individuals contacted byPeak and Associates. In addition, evidence of prehistoric cultural resources wasnot found during the course ofthe field survey, and Peak & Associates' review ofprevious cultural resources investigations in the project area did not reveal thepresence of significant resources. Therefore, Peak & Associates concludes thatidentified prehistoric cultural resources do not exist in the Project Area, andimpacts to any identified prehistoric resources would not result fromimplementation of the proposed project.
However, the project site has been subject to impacts from agricultural operationsfor decades, and may stilI contain undiscovered cultural deposits, which havebeen scattered or obscured by agricultural operations. Therefore, the possibilityexists that unique archaeological resources or historical resources could be

present, though buried, within the Gentry-Suisun project area. Becauseexcavation and grading during project construction could damage such resources,the impact of the proposed project would be considered significant.
Mitigation Measures(s)Implementation of the following mitigation measures would mitigate impacts tounique archaeological resources to a less-than-significant level. With respect toresources that qualify as "historical resources," however, the measure, thoughsubstantially lessening the impacts to such resources, is not guaranteed to mitigatethe impact to a less-than-significant level. Because of the possibility that the sitemight contain subsurface historical resources that cannot be avoided withoutproject redesign, the impact is potentially significant and unavoidable.
4.12-1 (a)
4.12-1 (b)
Prior to issuance of grading permits, the contractor shall submitplans to the Public Works Department for review and approvalthat indicate (via notation on the improvement plans) that if anyarchaeological resources are encountered during site grading orother site work, all such work shall be halted immediately withinthe area of discovery and the contractor shall immediately notifythe Public Works Department of the discovery. In such case, theapplicant shall be required to retain the services of a qualifiedarchaeologist for the purposes of (i) determining whether the findincludes any unique archaeological resources or historicalresources and (ii) formulating recommendations to the PublicWorks Director regarding possible strategies for recording,protecting, or curating the discovery as appropriate.
Project personnel shall not collect cultural resources. Thearchaeologist shall be required to submit to the Public WorksDepartment for review and approval a report ofthe findings and arecommended method of curation or on-site protection of theresources. No further grading or site work within the area ofdiscovery shall be allowed until the proceeding work has occurred.The Public Works Director shall impose any and all feasiblemeans, considered in light of project design, to avoid anysubstantial adverse change in the significance of anyarchaeological find determined to constitute an "historicalresource" within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines section15064.5.
Prior to the approval of improvement plans, the plans shall statethat during construction, if bone is uncovered that may be human;the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento and theSolano County Coroner shall be notified. Should human remainsbe found, the Coroner's office shall be immediately contacted andall work halted until final disposition by the Coroner. Should theremains be determined to be of Native American descent, theNative American Heritage Commission shall be consulted to

determine the appropriate disposition of such remains. Theproject proponent shall consider any recommendations resultingfrom such consultation to the extent required by CEQA Guidelinessection 15064.5, subdivision (e) and the statutory provisions onwhich it is based.
Implementation of these mitigation measures would ensure that any subsurfacecultural resources uncovered during project construction would be preserved,recorded, and disposed of in an appropriate fashion, with the possible exception ofhistorical resources that cannot feasibly be avoided or preserved in place.
4.12-2 Impacts to historical resources on the project site.
Base Project; Alternative Land Alternative 2
According to the Peak & Associates Cultural Resources Assessment, historicalmaps of the area indicate the previous use of the land to be agriculture and the usefor the early railroad line. The Cultural Resources Assessment states that,although developnlent of the Proposed Project \vould result in the delTIolition oftwo recorded resources (Sites PA-06-118A and PA-06-119A), these sites areconsidered ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places or the CaliforniaRegister of Historical Resources. The existing taittbadline Would riot be subjectto project impacts, and it does not appear to be an eligible resource. Therefore,impacts to historic resources are less-than-significant.
Cumulative Impacts and Mitigation Measures
4.12-3 Long-term impacts to cultural resources from the proposed project incombination with existing and future developments in the Suisun area.
Base Project, Alternative 1, and Alternative 2
Unique archaeological resources and historical resources are unique and nonrenewable resources, and development activities continue to damage and destroyboth prehistoric and historic sites and features in many cases before theinformation inherent in them can be reviewed, recorded, and interpreted.
As noted in impact 4.12-1 above, the potential exists for subsurface prehistoric orcultural resources to be unearthed during site excavation and grading. Theproposed project aiong with other development in Suisun City could damage ordestroy unique archaeological resources and historical resources particular to thatarea. The documentation of prehistoric and historic resources in their originalcontext is crucial in developing an understanding of the social, economic, andtechnological character. Therefore, a significant cumulative impact would occur,
CHi\F'TEF? 4c 1 :2 CULTUR/\L, F?r:::SOUFeCES
4.12·18
As explained earlier, Mitigation Measure 4.12-1 will reduce the project's impactson unique archaeological resources to a less-than-significant level, but cannotavoid the possibility of significant unavoidable impacts to any subsurfaceresource that qualifies as an "historical resource" and cannot feasibly be avoidedor preserved in place. Because of this latter prospect, the proposed project'sincremental impact to cultural resources would be potentially cumulativelyconsiderable and thus potentially significant and unavoidable.

At your request we have reviewed the "Water Supply Assessment for the Gentry GatewayProject, City of Suisun City, California" (the WSA) prepared by Summers Engineering, Inc. andSSWA, dated March, 2004. The WSA addressed not only the 20-year period following the dateof the report, but assumed that "...the ultimate buildout of the remaining conunercial andresidential areas within Suisun City are completed by 2020 ...." Therefore it presumed theprojected water demand through buildout would be needed within the 20-year projection.
Since the projected water demand is not anticipated to increase over that of the built-out servicearea, the WSA in effect addresses demand much farther into the future, certainly through 2026,The reliability olthe SSWA water supplies is constant through this period as well. Therefore, inadopting the WSA, SWWA has concluded that there will be sufficient water supply to meet thedemands of the Gentry Gateway Project, as well as all other proposed developments occurringthrough buildout of the service area, through 2026 and beyond.

SSWA Water Supply Assessment for the Gentry Gateway Project
Introduction
Project Description
Water Supply Assessment for the
Gentry Gateway Project, City of Suisun City
The proposed Gentry Gateway Project includes 6 Planning Areas. Planning Areas 1 and 2,
which have a combined area of approximately 59 acres, are proposed as Retail. Planning
Area 3, approximately 13,3 acres would be Business Park/Industrial, Planning Area 4,
comprising approximately 6.5 acres, would be Commercial, and it is assumed an additional
5 acres not currently owned by the applicant, would also be zoned Commercial. Planning
Area 5, comprising approximately 17.4 acres, is proposed for high-density Residential use
with 348 apartments (20 units per acre) and a Community Center. The remaining acreage,
1SSWA Water Supply Assessment for the Gentry Gateway Project
An Urban Water Conservation Plan has been prepared and adopted by SSWA, but the
additional water demand for the Gentry Gateway Project was not accounted for in the most
recent plan. Therefore, in accordance with Water Code §10910 (c)(3) "... the water
assessment for the project shall include a discussion with regard to whether the public
water system's total projected water supplies available during normal, single dry, and
multiple dry water years dUring a 20-year projection will meet the projected water demand
associated with the proposed project, in addition to the public water system's existing and
planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses. «
The Gentry Gateway Project includes the annexation and prezoning of approximately 156
acres located west of the Suisun City limits and south of the Fairfield City limits. The
project is located. in the Suisun-Solano Water Authority (SSWA) Service Area. The City of
Suisun City made a request to SSWA for a Water Supply Assessment pursuant to Water
Code §1 091 O. The Water Supply Assessment Is a reqUired component of the
environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act. An
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared for the Gentry Gateway Project, and
this assessment will provide information which will be used in the EIR evaluating the
project's effects on water supply.

non-developable. All of the development would receive domestic water service from
SSWA.
2SSWA Water Supply Assessment for the Gentry Gateway Project
SSWA is a joint powers authority between the City of Suisun City and the Solano Irrigation
District under an Implementation Agreement entered into in 1990. Both Suisun City and
Solano Irrigation District have contracts with the Solano County Water Agency for water
supplies from the federal Solano Project. The Solano County Water Agency is the
contracting agency with the United states Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for the water
supplies from the Solano Project. SSWA currently has a water treatment facility that
receives surface water from the Solano Project, and following treatment delivers it to the
service area. Table 1 summarizes the annual entitlements Suisun City and the Solano
Irrigation District have for Solano Project water. Also listed is an annual entitlement Suisun
City has from the State Water Project's North Bay Aqueduct. Their State Water Project
entitlement will conlinue to increase at 50 acre-feet per year until the maximum amount of
1,300 acre-feet per year is reached in 2015. At present, due 10 a lack of connection to the
SSWA water treatment plant, Suisun City is unable to directly utilize their State Water
Project entitlement, but they do have the opportunity to transfer to others or exchange this
Requirement for Water Supply Assessment
Since the Gentry.Gate""ay Flrojectis subject to c:EQA, is defined as a "project" per Water
Code § 10912, and since SSWA is the public water system providing water supplies to the
area, then SSWA is required to prepare a Water Supply Assessment fYIISA) in accordance
with SB 610. The Gentry Gateway Project is defined as a "project" per Water Code §
As required by SSWA, the developer would fund construction of all new water distribution
pipelines required to serve the project. Water distribution pipelines and individual services
would be constructed per improvement plans conforming to SSWA standards.

Permits for Construction - Water production facilities are exempt from local building and
zoning ordinances per Government Code § 53091 (c) and (d). (Nonetheless, SSWA
obtains permits for them from Suisun City and Solano County for record purposes at no
charge.)
Required Regulatory Approvals for Conveyance - One SSWA regulatory requirement for
water service, as outlined in Section 3.0 of the Implementation Agreement, is that "The
inclusion of any new land to the Joint Service Area shall be conditioned on the annexation
of said lands to Suisun City and also to the Solano Irrigation District." Since SSWA supplies
water in accordance with the Water Code, no further regUlatory approvals are required for
service within the service area.
entitlement with other Solano County water users with access to the North Bay Aqueduct
during periods of water shortage. This would include the cities of Benicia, Fairfield,
Vacaville, and Vallejo. Solano Irrigation District, under their Implementation Agreement
with SSWA, delivers from Its Solano Project entitlement the additional water needed to
provide treated water service to the SSWA service area. Table 2 summarizes the quantity
of water received by SSWA under the existing water supply entitlements of Suisun City and
Solano Irrigation District from 1990 - 2001.
Funding and Delivery of Water Supply
Capital Outlay Program - The formation of SSWA authorized financing of any future
required expansion and/or rehabilitation of water seri/ice facilities through the issuance of
revenue bonds. A financial plan is in place addressing the ongoing costs for operation and
maintenance of water treatment and delivery facilities. The plan establishes residential and
commercial water rates and connection fees which are imposed on new development to
fund the ongoing operation, maintenance, and capital costs for certain water treatment and
delivery facilities. SSWA requires development projects to construct the water delivery
facilities needed to supply and distribute the water to the new development. Depending on
the type and size of the development, specific terms and conditions for additional needed
water supply facilities may be set forth in development agreements between the developers
and Suisun City on behalf of SSWA.

SSWA Demand Analysis
Water Code § 1090 (c) (3) requires an analysis of the projected water demand ofthe
Gentry Gateway project. In 1996 an Updated MasterPlan for the Water SUpply and
Delivery System of SSWA was prepared. In this report a water demand analysis model for
the ultimate build out of the service area was developed using projected Suisun City
General Plan population data. A review of the housing and commercial development
projects completed over the past 7 years has been made and the 1996 demand analysis
modified to estimate current water use within SSWA as of 2003 (See Table 3). The model
provides a reasonably accurate estimate of the annual water usage. In 2003 the water
delivered by SSWA was 4,778 acre-feet, and converting the estimated annual average flow
in Table 3 (2,823 gpm) to acre-feet estimates a usage of 4,553 acre-feet. A further review
of undeveloped sites within the service area was made with Suisun City staff, and using the
demand analysis model, an Ultimate build out water demand for SSWA is estimated in
Tabla 4. The additionai water demand anticipated from the proposed Gentry Gateway
Project is included in this estimate. Included in Appendix "A" is a copy of the Ultimate

Projected Development Rates
The population growth within Suisun City has been approximately 19% over the last fifteen
years. Although Table 3 indicates the existing population should be close to 28,500,
population estimates from the Association of Bay Area Governments indicate the current
popUlation is approaching 27,000, and current Suisun City estimates indicate commercial
development is at 102 acres. Table 5 summarizes the population growth since the 1990
census and the projected growth through build out in 2020. The estimated ultimate
population for Suisun City was projected at approximately 33,000 in the 1996 SSWA
Updated Mester Plan for the Water Supply and Delivery System. Significant reductions
occurred in the 1996 development estimates, but with the additional apartments proposed

in the Gentry Gateway Project, the ultimate estimated population is still projected to
approach approximately 33,000.
Projected Water Demand and Available Supplies
Assuming the future Gentry Gateway Project is completed within 5 years, and the ultimate
build out of the remaining commercial and residential areas within Suisun City are
completed by 2020, the estimated water supplies SSWA will need to meet the projected
water demand through build out in the SSWA service area are listed in Table 6. The water.
supplies will come from the existing water rights and entitlements of Suisun City and
Solano Irrigation District, as described in the SSWA Implementation Agreement.
Water Supply Reliability
In accordance with Water Code §1 091 0 (c)(3) "... the water assessment for the project
shall include a discussion with regard to whether the public water system's total projected
water supplies available during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years during a
20-year projection will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed
project, in addition to the public water system's existing and planned future uses, including
agricultural and manUfactUring uses."
The Solano Project provides a reliable water supply. The watershed includes 576 square
miles above Monticello Dam, and the Lake Berryessa reservoir provides a storage capacity
of 1,602,000 acre-feet. Flow measurements have been kept on Putah Creek since 1906.
The average annual inflow is estimated at 360,000 acre-feet. The inflow over the period of
record has varied from a maximum of 1,140,000 acre-feet in 1983 to a minimum of 35,000
acre-feet in 1941. The Lake Berryessa storage capacity allows Solano Project water users
the ability to store and carryover 440% of the project's average annual yield. A primary
reason for construction of the large reservoir was to increase the annual safe yield. With a
1,602,000 acre-foot reservoir, a pre-project operation study estimated the safe annual yield
at 262,000 acre-feet. The annual contractual entitlements of Solano Project water users
are 207,350 acre-feet. The remaining inflow covers the reservoir evaporation losses and
downstream flow requirements.

Solano Project Water Shortage Allocation
Normal Year - During a "normal year", defined as a year when the average annual runoff
for the Solano Project is available, then SSWA will be able to meet their demands using the
existing water rights mentioned above.
Management planning is still needed to help mitigate drought water supply impacts.
Solano Project water users entered into a Drought Measures and Water Allocation
Agreement in 1999 which provides a phased response and planning process to address
future drought situations. The agreement calls for mandatory curtailment of Solano Project
The historic deliveries that occurred during the 1987-92 drought show that although there
were reductions in the available Solano Project supplies, the SSWA Implementation
Agreement allows Suisun City and Solano Irrigation District to work together to meet the
SSWA water requirements. The ultimate SSWA projected water demand, listed in Table 6,
is 6,500 acre-feet per year. Suisun City and Solano Irrigation District's Solano Project
entitlements, together with the Suisun City's additional State Water Project water rights, will
provide SSWA the ability to meet their estimated water demand for the proposed Gentry
Gateway Project and for the ultimate build out of SSWA if a single or a series of four dry
years occur.
6SSWA Water Supply Assessment for the Gentry Gateway Project
DN Year(s) - Since construction of the Solano Project, the 1987 -1992 California Drought
has had the greatest impact on Solano Project water supplies. The cumulative Putah
Creek runoff into Lake Berryessa during the six year 1987-92 period was approximately
800,000 acre feet. However, due to the large storage capacity in Lake Berryessa,
mandatory curtailments in contractual entitlements did not begin until 1992, the sixth year
of the drought. Table 2, summarizing the historic water deliveries to SSWA shows the
Suisun City water entitlement was reduced from 1,600 to 1,256 acre-feet in 1992, a 21.5%
reduction. The SID-Suisun water supplies are provided to SSWA from the Solano Irrigation
District contractual entitlement, and are delivered to SSWA under their Implementation
Agreement. Solano Irrigation District was able to provide the additional supplies needed
during the drought.

water use when drought conditions on December 1 reduce storage in Lake Berryessa
below 800,000 acre-feet. When this occurs all parties are to begin developing drought
contingency plans with specific water conservation measures to further reduce demand.
When April 1 storage is between 550,000 and 800,000 acre-feet, each party agrees to
reduce their delivery by at least 5% of their annual entitlement, and the curtailed water is
carried over in Solano Project storage for use in future dry years. When April 1 storage
drops below 400,000 acre-feet, the Agreement provides that Solano Irrigation District will
begin implementing a voluntary agricultural water marketing program for growers willing to
sell their water allocations to cities for M&I use the folloWing March. A copy of the Drought
Measures and Water Allocation Agreement is included in Appendix B.
Comparison of Water Supply and Demand
All present and future deliveries, as presented in Tables 2 and 6, will be provided from the
City of Suisun and Solano Irrigation District Solano Project water supplies or the City of
Suisun State Water Project North Bay Aqueduct supplies. Per Table 6, the ultimate build
out water demand is estimated to be approximately 6,500 acre-feet per year. New water
treatment facilities and distribution pipelines will be constructed as development occurs,
and therefore, there will be sufficient treated water supplies available to meet the water
demands of new development.
Based on the analysis provided above, SSWA concludes there will be sufficient water
supply to meet the demands of the Gateway Gentry Project, as well as all other proposed
developments occurring through build out of the service area during the next 20 years.

INTRODUCTION
Project Location
The project lies in portions of Rancho Suisun and also other unsectioned lands in T4N andT5N, R2W, MDBM, and is mapped on the Fairfield South 7.5' USGS topographic quadrangle(Map I).
Project Description
The proposed Gentry-Suisun project improvements would consist of the following: I) theannexation of approximately 171.50 gross acres of land from Solano County into the City ofSuisun City; and 2) a Mixed Use Development component which consists of the subdivision anddevelopment of a mixed use project on approximately 88.82-acre mixed use site. The Mixed Usesite if comprised of Planning Area I, Planning Area 2 and Planning Area 3. The total ProjectArea of approximately 493 acres consists of five planning area comprising approximately 479acres, the Gilbert and Ardave parcels comprising approximately 5.6 acres, Pennsylvania Avenueand Cordelia Road rights of way comprising approximately 2.7 acres. Wetlands mitigation areaswould be created on Planning Area 4 and Planning Area 5 for impacts of the Mixed UseDevelopment component of the project. Planning Area 4 includes 5.11 acres that is currently inthe Suisun City limits and already zoned. Although the 5.11 acres is part of the project area, it isnot part of the annexation or zoning change request.
Melinda Peak served as principal investigator for the project. Ann Peak led the field team,completing the field survey of project area (resumes, Appendix 1).
CULTURAL mSTORY
Archaeological Background
The Central Valley region was among the first in the state to attract intensive fieldwork andresearch has continued to the present day. This has resulted in a substantial accumulation ofdata. In tlle early decades of the 1900s, E.J. Dawson explored numerous sites near Stockton andLodi, later collaborating with W.E. Schenck (Schenck and Dawson 1929). By 1933, the focus ofwork was directed to the Cosumnes locality, where survey and exploration were conducted by theSacramento Junior College (Lillard and Purves 1936). Excavation data, in particular, from thestratified Windmiller Site (CA-Sac-I 07) suggested two temporally distinct cultural traditions.Later work at other mounds by Sacramento Junior College and the University of Californiaenabled the investigators to identify a third cultural tradition intermediate between thepreviously postulated early and late horizons. The three-horizon sequence was based ondiscrete changes in ornamental artifacts and mortuary practices as well as an observeddifference in soils within sites (Lillard, Heizer and Fenenga 1939). This sequence was later
1
refined by Beardsley (1954), with an expanded definition of artifacts diagnostic of each timeperiod and was extended to parts of the central California coast. Traits held in cornmon allowthe application of this system within certain limits of time and space to other areas ofprehistoric central California.
The Windmiller Culture (Early Horizon) is characterized by ventrally-extended burials (somedorsal extensions are known), with westerly orientation of heads, a high percentage of burialswith grave goods, frequent presence of red ocher in graves, large projectile points, of which60 percent are of materials other than obsidian; rectangular Haliotis beads; Olivella shell beads(types Ala and L); rare use of bone; some use of baked Clay objects; and wellcfashionedcharmstones, usually perforated.
The Cosumnes Culture (Middle Horizon) displays considerable changes from the precedingcultural expression. The burial mode is predominately. flexed,. with . variable cardinalorientation and some cremations present. The percentage of burials with grave goods is lower,and ocher staining is common in graves. Olivella beads of types CI, F and G predominate,and there is abundant use of green Haliotis sp. rather than red Haliotis sp. Other characteristicartifacts inClude perforated canid teeth, asytmnetrical and "fishtail" charmstones, usuallyunperforated; cobble mortars and evidence of wooden mortars; extensive use of bone for toolsand ornaments; large projectile points, with considerable use of rock other than obsidian; fu'"1duse of baked-Clay.
Hotchkiss Culture (Late Horizon) -- The burial pattern retains the use of the flexed mode, andthere is widespread evidence of cremation, lesser use of red ocher, heavy use of baked Clay,Olivella beads of Types E and M, extensive use of Haliotis ornaments of many elaborateshapes and forms, shaped mortars and cylindrical pestles, bird-bone tubes with elaborategeometric designs, Clamshell disc beads, small projectile points indicative of the introductionof the bow and arrow, flanged tubular pipes of steatite and schist, and use of magnetite (theabove adapted from Moratto 1984:181-183). The characteristics noted above are not allinClusive, but cover the more important traits.
More recently, Bennyhoff and Hughes (1984) have presented alternative dating schemes for theCentral California Archaeological Sequence. The primary emphasis is a more elaboratedivision of the Horizons to reflect what is seen as cultural/temporal changes within the threehorizons and a compression of the temporal span.
Other chronologies have been proposed for this general region (Table 4.7-1, Period andDating). Fredrickson (1973) has correlated his research with Bennyhoff's (1977) work, andhas defined, based upon the work of Bennyhoff, patterns, phases, and aspects. Fredricksonalso proposed periods of time associated heavily with economic modes, which provides atemporal term for comparing contemporary cultural entities.
Various modifications have been proposed for the dates given in the table below, but itprovides a basic temporal correlation for the two main chronologies in the general projectvicinity. It is important to note that this is only a framework and that the identification of
2
regional and local vanatlons from the pattern is a major goal of current archaeologicalresearch. Nevertheless, the succession of major cultural changes at approximately the sametime period is characteristic over a large part of California.

Ethnological Background
The Patwin occupied the southern Sacramento Valley west of the Sacramento River from thetown of Princeton, north of Colusa, south to San Pablo and Suisun bays. Patwin territoryextended approximately 90 miles north to south and 40 miles east to west. Distinction is madebetween the River Patwin, who resided in large villages near the Sacramento River, especiallybetween Colusa and Knights Landing, and the Hill Patwin, whose villages were situated in thesmall valleys along the lower hills of the Vaca Mountains and Coast Range, withconcentrations in Long, Indian, Bear, Capay, Cortina and Napa valleys (Johnson 1978:350;Powers 1877:218). The term "Patwin" refers to the people belonging to the many smallcontiguous independent political entities in this area who shared linguistic and culturalsimilarities. Hill and River Patwin dialects are grouped into a North Patwin language, separatefrom South Patwin, spoken by people who live near present-day Knight's Landing and Suisun.Together, these are classified as southern Wintuan and belong to the Penutian language family
as do the languages of the Miwok and Costanoan peoples in the study corridor (Johnson1978:350, 359; Kroeber 1925:351-354).
Politically, the Patwin were organized in small tribes or tribelets, each consisting of a primaryvillage with satellite villages. Tribelets were autonomous and differed from other such units inminor cultural variations. Dialects might encompass several tribelets. Territories were vaguelydefined, but included fishing and gathering areas used by the group. In each village, a leaderor chief administered subsistence ventures, such as hunting or gathering, and presided overceremonies. Social and economic activities were divided among families within a village, withcertain families responsible for different specialties such as trapping ducks, collecting salt,making foot drums, or perfonning particular dances or shamanistic rituals (Johnson 1978:354355).

Patwin territory includes the riverine environment of tule marshes, vines and brush near theSacramento River, the flat grasslands dotted with oak groves, and the hills and small valley ofthe Coast Ranges. The villages situated on low bluffs near the river were often very large; in1848, General Bidwell estimated at least 1,000 residents at Koru, near Colusa (Powers1877:219). In the hills, the Patwin settled in the small valleys, particularly along Cache andPutah creeks, where large populations were reported. The plains were least hospitable. In theplains, villages were sparse because of the seasonal flooding in winter and lack of reliablewater sources during the dry months. As Powers described:
In winter there was too much water on them, in summer none at all, and aborigines had nomeans ofprocuring an artificial supply. Besides there was no wood on them, and the oveiflowedportions in early summer breed millions ofaccursed gnats, which render human life a burden andweariness. Hence they were compelled to live beside water-sources, except during certainlimited periods in the winter, when they established hunting-camps out on the plains (Powers1877:219).
Kroeber noted that the Patwin responded to these seasonal changes by shifting their habitationsites:
The valley people evidently had their perrftanent villages on the river itself -- that is, in the marshbelt -- but appear to have left this during the dry half of the year to live on the adjacent plains,mostly by the side of tributaries. The upland people built their winter homes where the streamsissue on these creeks; and in summer moved away from the main Water i:6itrsiFs into ihiihillsormountains (Kroeber 1925:354).
Within a village, the Patwin constructed earth-covered semisubterranean structures. The HillPatwin used a circular floor plan while the River Patwin favored an elliptical shape. Fourtypes of building occurred in a predictable pattern: 1) the ceremonial dance house was placeda short distance to the north or south of the village, 2) the sudatory or sweat house waspositioned to the east or west of the dance house, and 3) the menstrual hut was built on theedge of the village, farthest from the dance house. The fourth type, family dwellings, could beerected anywhere within the community. Family lodges were built by one's paternal relativeswhile the other structures were the product of a communal effort. They used readily availablematerials, forming a framework of saplings, and covering the walls and roof with mud andbrush (Johnson 1978:357-358; Powers 1877:220-221).
Natural resources flourished in Patwin territory. They gathered seeds and plant foods andhunted game animals on the plains, shot or netted ducks and other migratory waterfowl in thethick tule marshes, and netted salmon and other fish in the rivers and streams. Some of theseactivities were conducted by groups or families assigned to particular resource areas by avillage chief. Acorns were a staple in the Patwin diet. Two types of Valley oak and, rarely,live oak acorns were gathered at communally-owned groves (Johnson 1978:355). Commonpractice was to store abundant quantities of acorns in tall granaries to assure against hunger inyears of poor harvest. Kroeber observed a Patwin granary more than eight feet tall and threefeet in diameter (Heizer and Elsasser 1980:99). Women prepared the bitter crop bypulverizing the acorns, then leaching out the bitter tannic acid before making bread or acornsoup. At privately-owned gathering tracts on the plains, families gathered seeds, including
4
sunflower, alfilaria, clover, bunchgrass, wild oat and yellow-blossom. The Patwin alsocollected a variety of bulbs, nuts, roots and berries, including buckeye, pine nuts, juniperberries, manzanita berries, blackberries, wild grapes, brodiaea bulbs, and tule roots. Toobtain salt, the Patwin scraped off rocks that were found near Cortina, burned a grass thatgrew on the plains, or obtained it in trade from the neighboring Porno (Johnson 1978:355).
King salmon, silver salmon, and steelhead trout that run from the ocean to fresh-water riversand streams were an important diet item. Explorers observed Patwin fishing for salmon with aboom net in 1854 (Heizer and Elsasser 1980: Figure 37). The Patwin also caught smaller fishand collected mussels from the river bottom. They attracted wild ducks by setting out realisticdecoys, then drove the fowl into large nets stretched above the marshes. Hunters also nettedmud hens, geese, and quail. The Suisun tribelet pursued waterfowl in tule rafts (Powers1877:220). The Patwin hunted large game, such as tule elk, deer, antelope and bear, and tookmany varieties of small animals, reptiles, insects and birds either to eat or to use forceremonial and practical materials (Johnson 1978:355).
The ceremonial life of the Patwin was centered on the Kuksu cult system, which features oneor more secret societies, each with its own dances and rituals. The Kuksu cult occurs amongseveral north central California tribes, but the cult was more elaborate among the Patwin whopossessed three secret societies: the Kuksu, ghost, and Hesi types, each with a slightlydifferent purpose. The ghost society stressed initiation, the Kuksu emphasized curing theshamanistic functions, and the Hesi elaborated on ceremonial dancing (Johnson 1978:353). Inaddition to ritual duties, shamans were called upon to heal the sick by applying nativemedicines or by sucking out the offending spiritual cause of the illness. The Patwin generallyburied their dead, although the tribelets furthest south may have cremated the deceased. ThePatwin near Colusa bent the body, wrapped it with strings of shell money, and covered it withan animal skin secured with ropes. They interred the corpse with material goods in a gravesituated within a village or within 100 yards of a dwelling or dance house (Kroeber 1925:359361).
Historic accounts of the Patwin include the early mission registers of baptisms, marriages anddeaths of Indians taken to Mission Dolores and Mission San Jose as early as 1800. In 1823,Mission San Francisco Solano was established in nearby Sonoma and it continued the missions'work until about 1832-1836, when all the missions were secularized. During the Mexicanperiod of the 1830s and 1840s, Mariano G. Vallejo maintained military control of the area andoften negotiated with Patwin leader Chief Solano. During this time, several Mexican landgrants were awarded and large ranchos were established on Putah and Cache creeks (Johnson1978:351).
Pre-contact population is difficult to estimate, but a survey of various sources seems to indicatethat the Patwin may have numbered 4,000 before their first encounter with non-Indians.Missionization, punitive military expeditions, and fatal confrontations with ranchers took theirtoll on the populace. John Work's party of trappers from the Hudsons Bay Company camedown the Sacramento River in 1832, returning up the river in 1833. They unintentionallyintroduced a deadly disease to native California and, in their wake, a malaria epidemic swept
5
through the Sacramento Valley. Just four years later, in 1837, smallpox raged through thevillages and, as a result of these diseases, up to 75 percent of the Patwin died (Cook 1955).Those who survived these tragedies eventually settled on small reservations or worked as ranchlaborers. Throughout the1800s and 1900s,the population decreased; in 1972, the Bureau ofIndian Affairs counted only 11 Patwin in the entire territory. Three reservations -- Colusa,Cortina and Rumsey--remain active in former Patwin territory. These reservations areoccupied primarily by descendants of the Wintun and other groups (Bureau of Indian Affairs1983; Johnson 1978:352).
Historical Background
Within Solano County, five Mexican land grants were recognized by the United Statesgovernment, jncludingRancho Suisun. The land grant was given to Francisco Solano in 1837.In his petition for four leagues of land, Solano identified himself as the "principal chief of the
unconverted Indians and born captain of the Suisun." The grant was made temporarily toSolano, and later approved by Governor Pio Pico in 1845. The holding was purchased first byM.G. Vallejo, who later sold it to Archibald Ritchie. Ritchie received the federal patent forthe land in 1857 (Hoover, Rensch and Rensch 1970: 511).
In 1850, Curtis Wilson and Dr. John Baker sailed up Suisun Creek and landed at the present siteof Suisun City, described as "an island in the midst of the tule lands that form a marshy desertlying between the Potrero hills and Benicia" (Wood & Alley 1879: 290). Captain Josiah Wingbegan to run schooners and other craft to the island in the summer of 1850, and settled there in1851. In that year, he built the first building in the city, a warehouse. In 1851, the first storewas opened here.
The first post office was established at Suisun in 1854. This post office was moved to Barton'sStore in 1857, and discontinued in 1858. A post office at Suisun city was also established atSuisun city in 1857, this is the post office branch that continues to today (Frickstad 1955).
In 1868, the residents petitioned the County Board of Supervisors, and the City wasincorporated. In 1879, the town had 1,800 residents.
The California Pacific Railroad Company was incorporated in 1865. The route was built fromSouth Vallejo to Sacramento, with construction beginning in 1866. The line was leased to theCentral Pacific Railroad in 1876. The original route transected the northern section of the projectarea. The 1872 Solano County map shows the original route of the California Pacific Railroad,crossing the southern portion of Fairfield from northeast to southwest.
The 1877 County map published in the 1878 Solano County Atlas shows the California Pacificroute, crossing Ledgewood Creek to the north of the current crossing. There is an accompanyingmap showing the route of the line through City blocks, and showing the location of the depot,near the junction of Illinois and Jackson Streets. In this year, the County map also shows theroute of the Northern Railway Company, cutting through the eastern potion of Fairfield and
6
joining the California Pacific at the eastern edge of Fairfield. The Northern Railway Companyincorporated in 1871. The route was built from West Oakland to a point near Martinez between1876 and 1878. A section was built from Benicia to Suisun, completed in December 1879. Thecompany consolidated with the Southern Pacific in 1898 (Fickewirth 1990: 90).
In between 1877 and 1890, the railroad was re-routed. Instead of following the route acrossFairfield, the line followed the route of the Northern Railway southward, and turning westwardsouth of Fairfield on the west side of Suisun City. The railroad station was also moved to thejoint line of the railroads. The town was connected to nearby Fairfield by a plank road for nearlya mile in length, with the depot of the California Pacific Railroad located midway between therival towns.
The project area does not appear to ever have been occupied. In 1872, only one portion of theproject area has an owner indicated--the northeastern parcel was owned by Reeves & Payton.Reeves is apparently D.D. Reeves, considered the "father of Suisun." Reeves crossed theplains in 1852, ending up in Suisun in November of that year. He worked as a blacksmith on afarm owned by a Mr. Ledgewood. He worked there until 1857, then moved into Suisun City.He developed the canal to the bay, and was active in many local institutions.
In 1877, the land was owned by two individuals who owned large tracts in the region: LewisPierce and Joseph Cunningham. Cunningham's home was just west of the project area (SolanoCounty Atlas 1878). Lewis Pierce was also an early settler in the Suisun area, having arrivedthere in about 1860 (Wood & Alley 1879: 434).
By 1890, the major portion of the project area was owned by Lewis and William Pierce. D. D.Reeves owned the south half of the northeast section, with Mrs. Payton owning the north half(Official County Map 1890). By 1909, the pierces still owned most of the project area. Mrs.Payton still owned the northern section of the northeastern portion of the project area. The southhalf had been transferred to Haile et al. Mrs. Haile. later Mrs. Alden, was the daughter of theformer owner, D. D. Reeves (Official Map of Solano County 1909, 1915; Hunt and Gunn1926:5).
The remnant berm of the earlier railroad route lies within the project area, and has beenrecorded. The main route became the Southern Pacific line (Official County Map 1909). Thesection of the route between Sacramento and Suisun was commonly known as the "CAL-P"(Fickewirth 1990:24).
In 1925, the City of Suisun had a population of about 900, with two banks, five hotels, and threechurches (Hunt and Gunn 1926: 239).
The are no buildings within the project area through 1918 (Suisun 1:31,680). The 19491:24,000 Suisun topographic had no buildings in the project area. The photorevision of thismap in 1968 indicates the addition of a building along the western edge of the southern tract ofland.

RECORD SEARCH
Two record searches have been conducted through the Northwest Information Center of theCalifornia Historical Resources Information System to identify previously recorded sites andprevious cultural resources studies in and near the project area (Appendix 2).
The majority of the project site had not been previously surveyed. One section of the projectarea had been surveyed for the Fairfield Streams project by Sannie Kenton and Patti Johnson ofthe Corps of Engineers in 1984.· Due to the age of the survey and the lack of completeinformation on the study, the area was re-surveyed.
One site was located adjacent to project area: the extant, in-use rail line shown on the existingproject maps was recorded and assigned Primary numbers P-48-000549/P-57-000400, forsections in Yolo and Solano Counties. The line is the current Union Pacific route. The routewas formerly the part of the route of the California Pacific line, before it became the SouthernPacific route, then the Union Pacific, through acquisitions and mergers.
NATIVE AMERICAN CONSULTATIQN
The Native American Heritage Commission was contacted for a review of the Sacred Lands files.They responded on June 22, 2006, and no Sacred Lands have been reported for the project areaor vicinity. The NAHC provided a list of potential contacts for the area (Appendix 3). Letterswere sent to Bill Combs, Cortina Band of Indans; Marshall McKay, Rumsey Indian Rancheria ofWintun Indians; Elaine Patterson, Cortina band of Indians; Wintun Environmental ProtectionAgency; and Kesner Flores, Cultural resources Specialist. No replies have been received to date.
FIELD ASSESSMENT
The project site was inspected on June 2006, by a crew headed by Ann S. Peak, SeniorArcheologist. The entire project area was walked over by means of parallel transects spacednot more than 15 meters apart. In addition to the surface inspection, areas where subsurfacematerial had been brought up via rodent activity were carefully examined. Surface scrapes anda number of small holes were excavated with a trowel to examine the sediments for thepresence of artifacts.
One resource is present adjacent to the project area, and two sites have recorded by the fieldteam: PA-06-118A and PA-06-199A. Site forms will be submitted to the NorthwestInformation Center. Each site is described below.
8
Site P-48-004549/P-57-00040Q
The site lies between the northern and southern sections of the project area, and along theeastern edge of the project site. It consists of the route of an in-use railway. Although nottechnically in the project area, it is adjacent and must be considered.
Site PA-Q6-11BA
This is the site of a small group of features related to previous agricultural use of the land. It islocated near the western edge of the project area just east of ODRehr Road. The site consists offour features in a line parallel to the road.
From north to south, the features are: a concrete water tank, a collapsed wind mill, a woodplatform that once supported wooden water tanks and a collapsed barn or shed. The concretewater tank is fIfteen feet in diameter and about three feet deep and is stamped DGolden Gate.DThe windmill has a pump still present and the remains of the rest of the structure, entirelycollapsed. The wooden platform, about eight feet wide by thirteen feet long, is covered by metalhoops and wooden staves from the collapsed two tanks. The size of the barn or shed cannot beaccurately determined because it has thoroughly collapsed. It is evident that it was a wood framestructure with corrugated metal siding and roofmg, but that is about all that can be said withcertainty.
Other than the structural materials noted above, there are no historic artifacts in association withthe features.
Site PA-06-119A
The route of an abandoned railroad crosses much of the northwest comer of the project area.This is evidenced by an earthen berm with ditches on both sides. The berm averages about threefeet higher than the surrounding land and is eighteen feet wide on average. Including the slopeson the sides of the berm and the width of the ditches, the feature is twenty-eight feet wide overmost of its length. It is paralleled on both sides by modem power lines and telephone lines onwooden poles.
The feature is about 1600 feet long but there is a gap of about 300 feet where it appears thatpower equipment was used to remove the berm, possibly to use the soil as fIll. There are no railspikes or ties to be found anywhere along the feature.
RESOURCE EVALUATIONS
Site P-48-004549/P-57-0004QQ
This site is another example of the trend in cultural resource management in recent years to
9
record, at times unnecessarily, the infrastructure of the State. All rail lines and systems, bigand small, were important in the broadest sense, as they allowed goods and services to bedelivered to remote sections of the State, as well as allowing manufactured goods andagricultural products to be delivered from rural areas to wider markets. The rail routes allcontributed to the economic development of the State, and still remain important in the Statefor exactly the same reason.
It then becomes a major decision: do we apply the criteria of importance and then every railline Statewide is an eligible property? Or do we use a more rational approach, and alsoevaluate the integrity of the resource? Integrity is the authenticity of an historical resource'sphysical identity evidence by the survival of characteristics that existed during the resource'speriod of significance. This rail line has had all components replaced through routinemaintenance over the years; the setting of the rail line has been drastically changed throughover a hundred thirty years of development in the region; and the resource retains perhaps onlyintegrity of location. Using this approach, it can be concluded that the resource is notsignificant under the criteria of the California Register of Historical Resources, or for theNational Register of Historic Places.
SitePA -On-lISA
The features apparently relate to the recent land use of area, and are related to the barn thatisconstructed nearby between 1949 and 1980. The features are not associated with importantindividuals or events in history, are in no way distinctive features, and cannot yield importantinformation on the history of the local area. The site is not eligible for the California Registeror the National Register.
SitePA -Q6-119A
The site consists of the berm of the older route of the California Pacific rail line, built in themid-1860s, and re-routed between 1877 and 1890. Portions of the berm have been destroyedover the years, and there are no other features associated with the railroad use of the featurepresent. The feature lacks integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling andassociation. The site is not eligible for the California Register or the National Register.
PROJECT IMPACTS
There are no resources eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources or the NationalRegister of Historic Places within the project area. There will be no impact to cultural resourcesresulting from the development and construction of the project.
10
RECOMMENDATIONS
Although highly unlikely, there remains a very slight possibility that cultural material could bepresent in the project area. We recommend that if artifacts, exotic rock types or unusual amountsof bone, or shell are uncovered during construction activities, a qualified archeologist should beconsulted for on-the-spot evaluation. Excavation should cease in the area of the find until theevaluation is completed. If bone is uncovered that could be human, state law requires that theSolano County Coroner must be contacted. If the Coroner determines that the bone is likely tobe Native American in origin, then the Native American Heritage Commission must also becontacted.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AEI Consultants (AEI) was retained by Raney Planning & Management, Inc. to conduct a PhaseI Enviromnental Site Assessment (ESA), in conformance with the scope and limitations ofASTM Standard Practice E1527-00, for the property identified as the Gentry-Suisun Project in aunincorporated area of Solano County adjacent to the western extent of Suisun City, California.Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 1.2 of this report
Property Description
The subject property encompasses a large area bounded by Highway 12 to the north, LedgewoodCreek to the west, Southern Pacific railroad tracks to the east, and marshland to the south. Thesubject property is also intersected by Pennsylvania Avenue, Cordelia Road, and SouthernPacific railroad tracks. Two developed parcels, which were reportedly not part of the subjectproperty, are located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road. The subjectproperty is undeveloped and is zoned as agricultural. A small portion of the subject property hasbeen used as a landfill site and a staging area for construction debris by the City of Fairfield. Alarge portion of the western and south sides of the subject property is wetland/marsh land. Inaddition, a Kinder Morgan operated petroleum pipe line runs through the subject property in awest to east orientation. The property totals approximately 500 acres and is broken up into fiveproject areas (PA-l, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
Based on a review of historical sources, the subject property has always been undeveloped, and,although zoned as agricultural, has appeared never to be used for the cultivation of crops.However, the subject property does appear to be used for grazing land. Additionally, asindicated above, a small portion of the subject property has been used as a landfill formally froman undetermined time until 1979. After 1979 this landfill area has been used as a staging areafor construction debris by the City of Fairfield. The former landfill is subject to annualinspection by the county health department as per state regulations.
Based upon topographic map interpretation and site observations, groundwater flow beneath thesubject property is inferred to be to the south. The first groundwater beneath the site is expectedat a depth ofno more than several feet below ground surface (bgs).
Findings
Recognized enviromnental conditions fRECs) are defmed by the ASTM Standard PracticeE1527-00 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum productsunder conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a releaseinto structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.AEI's investigation has revealed the following recognized enviromnental conditions associatedwith the subject property or nearby properties:
• A five acre landfill site, identified as the Cordelia Road Landfill and/or the Fairfield CityDump, is located on the subject property just east ofPennsylvania Avenue and 200 feet south
of Highway 12. The landfill was in operation from an unknown time until closure in 1979.Since the early 1980s, the site has been utilized by the City of Fairfield as a staging area forconstmction debris. The landfill is subject to annual inspections. Deficiencies noted inmost inspection records include areas of exposed debris, and lack of secure fencingultimately leading to issues associated with vagrant encampments. No issues were notedrelating to hazardous materials or wastes.
Although no evidence exists that hazardous materials were ever disposed of on the site,landfills are commonly recognized sources of leachate. Leachate is the liquid producedwhen water percolates through any permeable material. It can contain either dissolved orsuspended material, or usually both. This liquid is most commonly found in association withlandfills where result of rain percolating through the waste and reacting with the products ofdecomposition, chemicals and other materials in the waste to produce the leachate. If thelandfill has no leachate collection system, the leachate can enter groundwater, and this canpose environmental or health problems as a result. As such, the landfill site on the subjectproperty qualifies as a recognized environmental condition.
• AEI identified buried Kinder Morgan petroleum pipelines entering the subject property onthe west side of PA-l and PA-2. The pipelines run in a southwest to northeast direction andexit the subject property on the north and east side of PA-4. The first pipeline carries jet fuelfrom Concord to Travis Air Force Base and was put into service in the 1970s. The secondpipeline measures 14 inches in diameter and is currently out of service. This pipeline wasput into service in the 1960s and carried multiple petroleum products to Sacramento. Thethird pipeline, put into service in December, 2004, measures 20 inches in diameter and servesto replace the out-of-service pipeline previously discussed. All three pipelines arecathodically protected, as well as being visually inspects twice a month. No leaks have everbeen reported from the pipelines in the area of the subject property, although no informationon any sampling has been made available to AE1. The pipelines were not included in theregulatory database. The pipelines appear to be in compliance with present regulations.However, to ensure that the pipelines have not released product and impacted the subsurfaceof the subject property, samples would need to be collected and analyzed.
Historical recognized environmental conditions (HRECs) are defined by the ASTM StandardPractice E1527-00 as an environmental condition which in the past would have been considereda recognized environmental condition, but which mayor may not be considered a recognizedenvironmental condition currently. AEI's investigation has revealed the following historicalrecognized environmental conditions associated with the subject property or nearby properties:
• No on-site historical recognized environmental conditions were identified during the courseof this investigation.
Environmental issues include 'environmental concerns identified by AEI that warrant discussionbut do not qualifY as recognized environmental conditions, as defined by the ASTM StandardPractice EI527-00. AEI's investigation has revealed the following environmental issuesassociated with the subject property or nearby properties:

• Railroad tracks run through and adjacent to the subject property. Oils contammgpolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and herbicides are typically associated with weed-controlactivities for railroad tracks. The railroad tracks located on and adjacent to the subjectproperty are surrounded by gravel. Based on the presence of gravel, the use of oils andherbicides associated with weed control is expected to be minimal, and therefore does notrepresent a significant environmental concern. Furthermore, no documented releases onthese railroad tracks were noted on the regulatory database. If use of the railroad tracks isplanned to be discontinued and the footprint of the railroad tracks is to be redeveloped forresidential use, the owner/user of the report should contact the local planning department todetermine whether sampling relating to the potential former herbicide application is required.
Conclusions, Opinions, and Recommendations
AEI's investigation revealed recognized environmental conditions associated with the subjectproperty/nearby properties: The presence of the landfill and the petroleum pipelines on thesubject property constitute recognized environmental conditions. The responsibility for a release,if one exists, may not lie primarily with the property owner or developer, but rather with theoperator and/or owner of the facility from which a release occurred; although this is a legal andregulatory consideration outside of the scope of the Phase 1. In any case, the developer wouldhave an obligation to ensure that a release that affects the project is appropriately addressed.AEI understands that portions of the property are in the planning process for development forcommercial and residential uses. In order to evaluate whether the property has been impacted bythese recognized- environmental conditions, AEI··· recommends performing a-Phase IIinvestigation consisting of subsurface sampling. If the development were to include the footprintof the existing railroad tracks, sampling would also be recommended.
The Phase II investigation should include soil, groundwater, and/or soil-gas sampling designedto determine whether a release exists and has impacted the property. If a release does exist, thefollowing activities will need to be performed.
1. The extent of any release is to be adequately characterized to determine its extent andwhether there is a threat or potential threat to human health and/or the environment.
2. If a release were to be identified, formal regulatory oversight from Solano County, the StateWater Resources Control Board (SWRQB), and/or the Department of Toxic SubstancesControl (DTSC) will be required. The oversight process provides guidance in performingrelease characterization, human and environmental risk evaluation, and selecting appropriateremediation measures with the ultimate goal of obtaining formal regulatory concurrence thatmitigation has been performed in accordance with applicable standards. Site cleanup goalsfor specific contaminants detected must be based on current regulatory requirements andmust consider surface water and groundwater resources, other environmental receptors, andpossible human exposure based on tbe land use of the proposed development of the impactedarea(s). Goals are to be based on the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality ControlBoard's Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) and/or the US Environmental ProtectionAgency (USEPA) Region IX Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRGs) and approved by theoverseeing regulatory agency. It should be noted that these regulatory guidelines are update

periodically; the most recent version of which available during the remediation projectshould be utilized. Site specific cleanup goals may also be established that exceed theguidance concentrations in the references above only with formal regulatory approval.
3. Implement remediation measures that have been approved by the overseeing regulatoryagency. Such remediation measures could involve one or more specific approaches,designed based on the findings of site characterization and cleanup goals. The remediationcould include active remediation of impacted soil and groundwater [excavation and disposalof contaminated soil, in-situ treatment (enhanced bio-remediation, injection of treatmentchemicals, etc.), pump and treatment of groundwater, among other approaches] orinstitutional controls [restrictions on land uses, set-backs from impacted areas, groundwateruse prohibition, requirements for engineered controls (vapor barriers, surface caps) and longterm monitoring]. Depending on the proximity of development to a release or possiblerelease area, measures required during earth work and construction could include restrictionson heavy equipment use near underground utilities, monitoring for evidence of impact, andsampling.
4. Upon completion of remediation, formal written regulatory concurrence that the release(s)have been mitigated will be obtained prior to occupancy.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report documents the methods and findings of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA) of the property located at Gentry-Suisun Project in the City of Suisun City, SolanoCounty, California (Figure 1: Site Location Map, Figure 2: Site Map, and Appendix A: PropertyPhotographs).
1.1 Scope of Work
The purpose of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is to identify potential environmentalliabilities associated with the presence of hazardous materials, their use, storage, and disposal atand in the vicinity of the subject property, as well as regulatory non-compliance that may haveoccurred at the subject property. Property assessment activities focused on: 1) a review offederal, state, and local lists that identify and describe underground fuel tank sites, leakingunderground fuel tank sites, hazardous waste generation sites, and hazardous waste storage anddisposal facility sites within the ASTM approximate minimum search distance; 2) a property andsurrounding site reconnaissance with personnel interviews to identify environmentalcontamination; and 3) a review of historical sources to help ascertain previous land use at the siteand in the surrounding area.
The goal of AEI Consultants in conducting the environmental site assessment was to identify thepresence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on the propertythat may indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of anyhazardous substance or petroleum product into the soil, groundwater, or surface water of theproperty.
1.2 Limitations
Property conditions, as well as local, state, and federal regulations can change significantly overtime. Therefore, the recommendations and conclusions presented as a result of this study applystrictly to the environmental regulations and property conditions existing at the time the studywas performed. Available information has been analyzed using currently accepted assessmenttechniques and it is believed that the inferences made are reasonably representative of theproperty. AEI Consultants makes no warranty, expressed or implied, except that the serviceshave been performed in accordance with generally accepted environmental property assessmentpractices applicable at the time and location of the study.
Considerations identified by ASTM as beyond the scope of a Phase I ESA that may affectbusiness environmental risk at a given property include the following: asbestos-containingmaterials, radon, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, wetlands, regulatory compliance,cultural and historic resources, industrial hygiene, health and safety, ecological resources,endangered species, indoor air quality, and high voltage lines. These environmental issues orconditions may warrant assessment based on the type of the property transaction; however, theyare considered non-scope issues under ASTM Standard Practice E1527-00.

If requested by the client,these non-scope issues are discussed in Section 5.2. Otherwise, thepurpose of this investigation is solely to satisfY one of the requirements to qualifY for theinnocent landowner defense under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensationand Liability Act (CE~CLA), that is, ASTM. Standard Practice E1527,00 constitutes "allappropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with goodcommercial or customary practice" as defined in 42 USC § 9601(35)(B), referenced in theASTM Standard Practice EI527-00.
The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is not, and should not be construed as, a warranty orguarantee about the presence or absence of environmental contaminants that may affect theproperty. Neither is the assessment intended to assure clear title to the property in question. Thesole purpose of investigation into property title records is to ascertain a historical basis of priorland use.

2.0 SITE AND VICINITY DESCRIPTION
2.1 Site Location and Description
The subject property encompasses a large area bounded by Highway 12 to the north, LedgewoodCreek to the west, Southern Pacific railroad tracks to the east, and marshland to the south. Thesubject property is also intersected by Pennsylvania Avenue, Cordelia Road, and SouthernPacific railroad tracks. Two developed parcels, which were reportedly not part of the subjectproperty, are located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road. The subjectproperty is undeveloped and is zoned as agricultural. A small portion of the subject property hasbeen used as a landfill site, and a staging area for construction debris by the City of Fairfield. Alarge portion of the western and south sides of the subject property is wetland/marsh land. Inaddition, a Kinder Morgan operated petroleum pipe line runs through the subject property in awest to east orientation. The property totals approximately 500 acres and is broken up into fiveproject areas (PA-l, 2, 3, 4, and 5). The assessors parcel number (APNs) associated with thesubject property are provided in the following table:

2.3 Geology lind Hydrogeology
According to information obtained from the U.S Geological Survey (USGS), the areasurrounding the subject property is underlain primarily with Quarternary Bay mud andmarshland deposits. This mud is in turn underlain with alluvial deposits that are as much as 100feet deep.
According to information obtained from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the areasurrounding the subject property is underlain by two primary soil types including soils associatedwith the Alviso Complex, and the Sycamore Complex.
The Alviso soils have gray, neutral, silty clay loam A horizons and light gray, mildly alkaline,silty clay loam and silty clay upper C horizons, and greenish gray very fine sand lower Chorizons. The water table is close enough to the surface that the upper horizons are alwaysmoist. The soil may be flooded by water at high tide or during high stream flows coincidingwith high tides. Fine stratification is absent from the upper part of the profile. Coarsestratification is common and the organic matter decreases irregularly with depth.
The Sycamore soils consist of Bomev/hat poorly drained silty clay loams on alluvial fans. Slopesare less than I percent. The soils formed in alluvium from mixed sources. This soil is similar toSycamore silty clay loam, drained, except that drainage has not been improved. The depth to thewater table ranges frorn 36 to 60 inches.
Based on a review of the USGS Fairfield South Quadrangle Topographic Map, the subjectproperty is situated from 3 to 7 feet above mean sea level, and the local topography is relativelyflat. Two branched of an unnamed creek traverse the central portion of the subject property fromnorth to south. Ledgewood Creek is located adjacent and west of the subject property. Basedupon topographic map interpretation and site observations, groundwater flow beneath the subjectproperty is inferred to be to the south. The first groundwater beneath the site is expected at adepth ofno more than several feet below ground surface (bgs).

3.0 HISTORICAL REVIEW OF SITE AND VICINITY
Based on a review of historical sources, the subject property has always been undeveloped, and,although zoned as agricultural, has appeared never to be used for the cultivation of crops.However, the subject property does appear to be used for grazing land. Additionally, asindicated above, a small portion of the subject property has been used as a landfill formally froman undetermined time until 1979. After 1979 this landfill area has been used as a staging areafor construction debris by the City of Fairfield. The former landfill is subject to annualinspection by the county health department as per state regulations. The landfill site isconsidered to be a recognized environmental concern.
3.1 Aerial Photograph Review
On July 12, 2006, AEI Consultants reviewed aerial photographs of the subject property andsurrounding area. Aerial photographs were reviewed for the following years: 1937,1957,1965,1970,1982,1987,1993, and 1998.
In the 1937 aerial photograph, the subject property appears to be undeveloped marsh land andgrazing land. The subject property is dissected by Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road, aswell as by railroad tracks and an unnamed creek. As today, the subject property surrounds twodeveloped parcels that are reportedly not part of the subject property, that are located at theintersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road. Train tracks are present to the east.Ledgewood Creek is present to the west. The adjacent area to the north appears as undeveloped.The area to the south appears to be marsh land.
The 1957 aerial photograph differs from the previous aerial, in that the a fence surrounds theparcel which is currently the closed landfill site location (just east of Pennsylvania Avenue and200 feet south of current Highway 12). Whether or not this parcel is being utilized as a landfillcan not be determined.
The 1965 aerial photograph differs from the previous aerial, in that evidence suggests that thelandfill site is being used as such.
No significant changes were noted in the 1970 and 1982 aerial photographs.
The 1987 aerial photograph differs from the previous aerial, in that Highway 12 runs along thenorthern boundary of the subject property.
No significant changes were noted in subsequent aerial photographs.
If available, high-quality copies of reviewed aerial photographs are included as Figure 3.

3.2 Local Agencies
Local agencies, such as environmental health departments, fire prevention bureaus, and buildingdepartments are contacted to identify any current or previous reports of hazardous materials use,storage, and/or l111authorized releases that may have impacted the Subjeet property'.
3.2.1 Health Department
On July II, 2006, the Solano County Environmental Health Services(SCEHS) was visited to review files on the subject property and nearby sites of concern. Files
at the SCEHS may contain information regarding hazardous materials storage, as well asinformation regarding unauthorized releases of petroleum hydrocarbons or other contaminantsthat may affect the soil or groundwater in the area.
The SCEHS maintained a file for the closed (un-permitted) landfill site located on the subjectproperty' just east of Pennsylvania Avenue and 200 feet south of Highway 12. Information in thefile indicated that the Landfill site is five acres in size and is identified as the Cordelia RoadLandfill and/or the Fairfield City Dump. The priority for an assessment for this site isconsidered to be low (as of 1995). The landfill was in operation from an unknown time untilclosure in 1979. Since the early 1980s, the site has been utilized by the City of Fairfield as astaging area for construction debris. The landfill is subject to annual inspections. Deficienciesnoted in most inspection records include areas of exposed debris, and lack of secure fencingultimatelyJeadingto issues associated with vagrant encampments, Noissueswerenotedrelatingto hazardous materials or wastes.
Although no evidence exists that hazardous materials were ever disposed of on the site, landfillsare commonly recognized sources of leachate. Leachate is the liquid produced when waterpercolates through any permeable material. It can contain either dissolved or suspended material,or usually both. This liquid is most commonly found in association with landfills where result ofrain percolating through the waste and reacting with the products of decomposition, chemicalsand other materials in the waste to produce the leachate. If the landfill has no leachate collectionsystem, the leachate can enter groundwater, and this can pose environmental or health problemsas a result. As such, the landfill site on the subject property qualifies as a recognizedenvironmental condition.
As per the remainder of the subject property', no addresses have ever been assigned to theindividual parcels, nor have these parcel ever been utilized for anything other than grazing land.As such, no further information was available from the SCEHS.

3.2.2 Fire Department
On July 11, 2006 the Suisun Fire Protection District (SCFD) and the Solano County FireDepartment (SCFD) were contacted for information on the subject property and/or nearby sitesof concern to identify any evidence ofprevious or current hazardous material usage.
Both the SFPD and the SCFD were unable to conduct file searches based on the lack addressesfor the subject property. However, representatives from both the SFFD and SCFD reported thatthey were not aware of any hazardous material incidents or significant emergency responses(other than wild fires) in the area of the subject property.
3.2.3 Building Department
On July II, 2006, the Solano County Building and Planning Department (SCBPD) was visitedfor information on the subject property in order to identify historical tenants and property use.As no street addresses are associated with subject property, AEI attempted to research theSCBPD files using APNs associated with the subject property. No information was available.The lack of information, suggests that the subject property has never been significantlydeveloped.
3.245 Other Agency
On July 11, 2006, the Solano County Assessor's Office (SCAO) was contacted. Generallyspeaking, county assessor offices are commonly a reliable source of property information, suchas property valuations, property size, and improvement details.
AEI searched the SCAO records by parcel numbers associated with the subject property.Although valuation and property size information were available, no other propertycharacteristics were available. These findings support the conclusions reached from otherhistoric resources researched, suggesting that the subject property has never been significantlydeveloped.
3.3 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps
Sanborn Fire Insurance maps were developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s for use as anassessment tool for fire insurance rates in urbanized areas. A search was made of the SeattlePublic Library's On-line collection of Sanborn Fire Insurance maps on July 12, 2006. Sanbornmap coverage was not available for the subject property.
3.4 City Directories
Given that no street addresses exist for the subject property, a search of historic city directoriescould not be performed as part of this assessment.

3.5 Client-Provided Information and Interviews
The client did not report to AEI any environmental liens encumbering the subject property orreport any information to AEI regarding previous uses or ownership of the subject property thatindicated recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property. Theclient did not provide any title records to AEI for review.
Mr. Joe Fadrowsky was interviewed for this investigation. Mr. Fadrowsky, the property owner,was not aware of any pending, threatened, or past litigation relevant to hazardous substances orpetroleum products in, on, or from the subject property; any pending, threatened, or pastadministrative proceedings relevant to hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, orfrom the subject property; or any notices from a governmental entity regarding any possibleviolation of environmental laws or possible liability relating to hazardous substances orpetroleum products. Mr. Fadrowsky verified ownership (Kinder Morgan) of the petroleumpipeline located on the subject property. This petrQleum pipelille is discussed in SectiQn 5.1.
Information obtained during interviews with local government officials is incorporated into theappropriate segments of this section.

4.2 Contaminant Migration
Migration of petroleum hydrocarbon or volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination isgenerally via. groundwater. Therefore, only those contaminant release sites locatedhydrologically upgradient relative to the subject property are expected to represent a potentialenvironmental concern to the subject property. Contaminated sites located hydrologicallydowngradient of the subject property are not expected to represent a potential threat to thegroundwater quality beneath the subject property. Sites that are situated hydrologically crossgradient relative to the subject property are not expected to represent a concern unless closeproximity allows for the potential oflateral migration. As discussed in Section 2.3, groundwaterin the vicinity ofthe subject property is assumed to flow to the south.

The western and southern portions of the subject property are marsh land. As such, AEI notedseveral locations in these areas that were covered in water. These conditions are not consideredto be an environmental concern.
Solid Waste Disposal or Evidence ofFill Materials
A portion of the subject property is a closed/un-permitted landfill site. A detailed discussion ofcondition associated with this listing was previously included in Section 3.2.1.

AEI observed buried Kinder Morgan petroleum pipelines entering the subject property on thewest side of PA-I and PA-2. The pipelines run in a southwest to northeast direction and exit thesubject property on the north and east side of PA~4. The owner of the subject propertyconfirmed that the pipelines are owned and maintained by Kinder Morgan. AEI contacted Mr.Mike Rounds of Kinder Morgan to ascertain details concerning the pipelines. Mr. Roundsreported that the three pipelines situated on the subject property are as follows:
• The first pipeline measures 8 inches in diameter and carries jet fuel from Concord to TravisAir Force Base. This pipeline was Pllt into service in the 1970s.
• The second pipeline measures 14 inches in diameter and is currently out of service. Thispipeline was put into service in the 1960s and carried multiple petroleum products toSacramento. In 2004, this pipeline failed in an area several miles to the west of the subjectproperty and contaminated the SUisun March With several million gallons of petroleumproduct. This pipeline has since been decommissioned and is currently charged withnitrogen as is required for all decommissioned pipelines.
• The third pipeline, put into service in December, 2004, measures 20 inches in diameter andserves to replace the out-of-service pipeline previously discussed.
All three pipelines are cathodically protected, as well as being visually inspects twice a month.No leaks have ever been reported frorn the pipelines in the area of thestibjeetproperty, althoughno information on any sampling has been made available to AEI. The pipelines were notincluded in the regulatory database. The pipelines appear to be in compliance with presentregulations. However, to ensure that the pipelines have not released product and irapacted thesubsurface of the subject property, samples would need to be collected and analyzed.
Railroad tracks run through and adjacent to the subject property. Oils contammgpolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and herbicides are typically associated with weed-controlactivities for railroad tracks. The railroad tracks located on and adjacent to the subject propertyare surrounded by gravel. Based on the presence of gravel, the use of oils and herbicidesassociated with weed control is expected to be minimal, and therefore does not represent asignificant environmental concern. Furthermore, no documented releases on these railroadtracks were noted on the regulatory database.

5.2 Non-ASTM Services
Asbestos-Containing Building Materials
For buildings constructed prior to 1980, the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1926.1101)states that all thennal system insulation (boiler insulation, pipe lagging, and related materials)and surface materials must be designated as "presumed asbestos-containing material" (PACM)unless proven otherwise through sampling in accordance with the standards of the AsbestosHazard Emergency Response Act.
No structures are currently located on the subject property, therefore, ACMs are not present.
Lead-Based Paint
Lead-based paint is defined as any paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that has Img/cm2 (or 5,000 ug/g by dry weight) or more of lead. Section 1017 of the Housing and UrbanDevelopment Guidelines, Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992,otherwise known as "Title X", defines a lead-based paint hazard is "any condition that causesexposure to lead that would result in adverse human health effects" resulting from leadcontaminated dust, bare, lead-contaminated soil, and/or lead-contaminated paint that isdeteriorated or present on accessible, friction, or impact surfaces. Therefore, under Title X,intact lead-based paint on most walls and ceilings would not be considered a "hazard", althoughthe paint should be maintained and its condition monitored to ensure that it does not deteriorateand become a hazard. Additionally, Section 1018 of this law directed HUD and EPA to requirethe disclosure of known infonnation on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before thesale or lease of most housing built before 1978. Most private housing, public housing, federallyowned housing, and housing receiving Federal assistance are affected by this rule.
No structures are currently located on the subject property, therefore LBPs are not present.
Radon
Radon is a naturally-occurring, odorless, invisible gas. Natural radon levels vary and are closelyrelated to geologic fonnations. Radon may enter buildings through basement sumps or otheropenmgs.
The US EPA has prepared a map to assist National, State, and local organizations to target theirresources and to implement radon-resistant building codes. The map divides the country intothree Radon Zones, Zone 1 being those areas with the average predicted indoor radonconcentration in residential dwellings exceeding the EPA Action limit of 4.0 picoCuries per Liter(pCiIL). It is important to note that the EPA has found homes with elevated levels of radon in allthree zones, and the EPA recommends site specific testing in order to detennine radon levels at aspecific location. However, the map does give a valuable indication of the propensity of radongas accumulation in structures.
Phase I Environmental Site AssessmentProject No. 117644September 15, 2006
Page 15
AEI
Radon sampling was not requested as part of this investigation. According to the USEPA, theradon zone level for the area is Zone 3, which has a predicted average indoor screening level lessthan 2 pCi/L, below the action level of 4.0 pCilL set forth by the EPA.
High Voltage Power Lines
High voltage power lines (HVPLs) traverse the subject property along the southern boundary.HVPLs produce extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields. However, electric andmagnetic fields associated with HVPLs do not travel far beyond the actual lines themselves. Ithas been speculated that ELF radiation is hannful and was thought to contribute to the risk ofcancer to those who lived adjacent to HVPLs. Numerous scientific panels have carried outcomprehensive reviews of available data on health effects of ELF fields. None have shown asignificant link between cancer and ELF fields. Nonetheless, electrical utilities commonlypractice "Prudent Avoidance" which means exercising sound judgment in attempting to keep thegeneral public out ofELF fields when that can be done at modest cost.
No residential developments are currently located adjacent to the HVPLs on the subject property.These HVPLs are not considered to be an environmental concern.

Hazardous Substances and/or Petroleum Products in Connection with Property Use
As previously indicated, the subject property surrounds two developed parcels, located at theintersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Cordelia Road. One of these parcels is utilized as andvehicle repair facility. As such, it is assumed that hazardous or regulated materials commonlyassociated with this type of operation are routinely stored and used on-site. AEI did not observeany storage of hazardous material or waste outside the building on this property. The generalhousekeeping practices at this facility appeared to be average. In addition, this facility was notlisted as a site with a known release of hazardous materials. Based on AEI's observations andthe lack of documented releases, this site is not considered to be an environmental concern.

6.0 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Findings
Recognized environmental conditions fRECs) are defined by the ASTM Standard PracticeE1527-00 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum productsunder conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a releaseinto structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.AEI's investigation has revealed the following recognized environmental conditions associatedwith the subject property or nearby properties:
• A five acre landfill site, identified as the Cordelia Road Landfill and/or the Fairfield CityDump, is located on the subject property just east ofPennsylvania Avenue and 200 feet southof Highway 12. The landfill was in operation from an unknown time until closure in 1979.Since the early 1980s, the site has been utilized by the City of Fairfield as a staging area forconstruction debris. The landfill is subject to annual inspections. Deficiencies noted inmost inspection records include areas of exposed debris, and lack of secure fencingultimately leading to issues associated with vagrant encampments. No issues were notedrelating to hazardous materials or wastes.
Although no evidence exists that hazardous materials were ever disposed of on the site,landfills are commonly recognized sources of leachate. Leachate is the liquid producedwhen watcI percolates through any permeable materiaL ltean eontain either dissolved orsuspended material, or usually both. This liquid is most commonly found in association withlandfills where result of rain percolating through the waste and reacting with the products ofdecomposiiion, chemicals and other materials in the waste to produce the leachate. If thelandfill has no leachate collection system, the leachate can enter groundwater, and this canpose environmental or health problems as a result. As such, the landfill site on the subjectproperty qualifies as a recognized environmental condition.
• AEI identified buried Kinder Morgan petroleum pipelines entering the subject property onthe west side ofPA-1 and PA-2. The pipelines run in a southwest to northeast direction andexit the subject property on the north and east side ofPA-4. The first pipeline carries jet fuelfrom Concord to Travis Air Force Base and was put into service in the 1970s. The secondpipeline measures 14 inches in diameter and is currently out of service. This pipeline wasput into service in the 1960s and carried multiple petroleum products to Sacramento. Thethird pipeline, put into service in December, 2004, measures 20 inches in diameter and servesto replace the out-of-service pipeline previously discussed. All three pipelines arecathodically protected, as well as being visually inspects twice a month. No leaks have everbeen reported from the pipelines in the area of the subject property, although no informationon any sampling has been made available to AEL The pipelines were not included in theregulatory database. The pipelines appear to be in compliance with present regulations.However, to ensure that the pipelines have not released product and impacted the subsurfaceof the subject property, samples would need to be collected and analyzed.

Historical recognized environmental conditions fHRECs) are defined by the ASTM StandardPractice E1527-00 as an environmental condition which in the past would have been considereda recognized environmental condition, but which may or may not be considered a recognizedenvironmental condition currently. AEI's investigation has revealed the following historicalrecognized environmental conditions associated with the subject property or nearby properties:
• No on-site historical recognized environmental conditions were identified during the courseof this investigation.
Environmental issues include environmental concerns identified by AEI that warrant discussionbut do not qualify as recognized environmental conditions, as defmed by the ASTM StandardPractice EI527-00. AEI's investigation has revealed the following environmental issuesassociated with the subject property or nearby properties:
• Railroad tracks run through and adjacent to the subject property. Oils containingpolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and herbicides are typically associated with weed-controlactivities for railroad tracks. The railroad tracks located on and adjacent to the subjectproperty are surrounded by gravel. Based on the presence of gravel, the use of oils andherbicides associated with weed control is expected to be minimal, and therefore does notrepresent a significant environmental concern. Furthermore, no documented releases onthese railroad tracks were noted on the regulatory database. If use of the railroad tracks isplanned to be discontinued and the footprint of the railroad tracks is to be redeveloped forresidential use, the owner/user of the report should contact the local planning department todetennine whether sampling relating to the potential former herbicide application is required.
Conclusions, Opinions, and Recommendations
AEI's investigation revealed recognized environmental conditions associated with the subjectproperty/nearby properties. The presence of the landfill and the petroleum pipelines on thesubject property constitute recognized environmental conditions. The responsibility for a release,if one exists, may not lie primarily with the property owner or developer, but rather with theoperator and/or owner of the facility from which a release occurred; although this is a legal andregulatory consideration outside of the scope of the Phase I. In any case, the developer wouldhave an obligation to ensure that a release that affects the project is appropriately addressed.AEI understands that portions of the property are in the planning process for development forcommercial and residential uses. In order to evaluate whether the property has been impacted bythese recognized environmental conditions, AEI recommends performing a Phase IIinvestigation consisting of subsurface sampling. If the development were to include the footprintof the existing railroad tracks, sampling would also be recommended.
The Phase II investigation should include soil, groundwater, and/or soil-gas sampling designedto determine whether a release exists and has impacted the property. If a release does exist, thefollowing activities will need to be performed.
Phase I Environmental Site AssessmentProject No. 117644September 15, 2006

L The extent of any release is to be adequately characterized to detennine its extent andwhether there is a threat or potential threat to human health and/or the environment.
2. If a release were to be identified, fonnal regulatory oversight from Solano County, the StateWater Resources Control Board (SWRQB), and/or the Department of Toxic SubstancesControl (DTSC) will be required. The oversight process provides guidance in performingrelease characterization, human and environmental risk evaluation, and selecting appropriateremediation measures with the ultimate goal of obtaining fonnal regulatory concurrence thatmitigation has been perfonned in accordance with applicable standards. Site cleanup goalsfor specific contaminants detected must be based on current regulatory requirements andmust consider surface water and groundwater resources, other environmental receptors, andpossible human exposure based on the land use of the proposed development of the impactedarea(s). Goals are to be based on the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality ControlBoard's Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) and/or the US Environmental ProtectionAgency (USEPA) Region IX Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRGs) and approved by theoverseeing regulatory agency. It should be noted that these regulatory gUidelines are updateperiodically; the most recent version of which available during the remediation projectshould be utilized. Site specific cleanup goals may also be established that exceed theguidance concentrations in the references above only with fonnal regulatory approval.
3. Implement remediation measures that have been approved by the overseeing regulatoryagency. Such reruediatioll rneaSUTes could irrvol"ve one or tn.ore specific approaches,designed based on the findings of site characterization and cleanup goals. The remediationcould include active remediation of impacted soil and groundwater [excavation and disposalofcoiifamiilatedsoil;iii=situtreatirieiit .(eiihiinced bio:iemeaiation; injection oftieatirieritchemicals, etc.), pump and treatment of groundwater, among other approaches] oriiistitntional controls [restrictions on land uses, set-backs from impacted areas, groundwateruse prohibition, requirements for engineered controls (vapor barriers, surface caps) and longtenn monitoring]. Depending on the proximity of development to a release or possiblerelease area, measures required during earth work and construction could include restrictionson heavy equipment use near underground utilities, monitoring for evidence of impact, andsampling.
4. Upon completion of remediation, fonnal written regulatory concurrence that the release(s)have been mitigated will be obtained prior to occupancy.
