Providing proactive biological solutions throughout southern California

Date:     November 24, 2012

Client:   Mr. Jeff Thachuck

Coronus Energy Corp.

#1100-1200 West 73rd Avenue

Vancouver, BC Canada V6P 6G5

Phoenix Job Name(s): CUL-COR-12.01

Services to be provided: Phoenix Biological Consulting (Phoenix; consultant) will provide preliminary cultural resource assessment consulting services for Coronus Energy Corp (Client) for seven project sites listed on page 2-3:

Background: State law, as set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) §21083.2(a) and §15064.5, requires that a cultural resources evaluation of the project area be completed before construction work can proceed. In compliance with CEQA, the archaeologist will perform a records/literature review of cultural resources known to exist on or near the seven project areas, as well as an archaeological field survey to identify any previously unrecorded cultural resources that may exist there.  The  cultural  evaluation  would  also  be  conducted  in  compliance  with  Section  5024.1  of  the California Public Resources Code (PRC). The Phase I pedestrian survey would determine the project’s potential effects on significant prehistoric and historical cultural resources. Any resource greater than 50 years in age would be documented, photographed, and recorded on California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms. Specific tasks include the following:

Task 1: Cultural Records Search. A cultural records search is proposed to first identify existing documentation of both historical and pre-historical resources throughout the seven proposed project areas.  This  information  will  be  obtained  from  the  Archaeological  Information  Center  at  the  San Bernardino County Museum. A one-mile buffer around the project site will be included in the records search.

Task 2: Phase I Survey. A Phase I pedestrian survey is proposed for the project impact areas, in order to both identify the existence of prior records and search for (and record) undocumented cultural resources. Survey transects will traverse the entire proposed project areas and not exceed 20 meters in width.

Task 3: Report. A final technical report adhering to professional standards will be developed for each of the seven sites. The reports will include an introduction, location and environmental setting, cultural background (prehistoric, Ethnohistory, and historic), methodology, research design, cultural resources records search results, survey results, and conclusions and recommendations.

If applicable, consultant shall also complete a CNDDB form for each special status species encountered on or adjacent to the project site and submit these to the California Department of Fish and Game.
