The studies for this undertaking were carried out in a manner consistent with Caltrans' regulatory responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR Part 800) and pursuant to the January 2014 First Amended Programmatic Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106 PA), as well as under Public Resources Code 5024 and pursuant to the January 2015 Memorandum of Understanding Between the California Department of Transportation and the California State Historic Preservation Office Regarding Compliance with Public Resources Code Section 5024 and Governor's Executive Order W-26-92 (5024 MOU) as applicable. Project Description: The City of Santa Ana (City), in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 12, proposes to widen Fairview Street between 9th Street and 16th Street, including replacing the Fairview Street Bridge over the Santa Ana River in Santa Ana, California. The proposed Project would widen Fairview Street from two lanes in each direction to three lanes in each direction. Fairview Street bridge would be replaced with a new six -lane bridge (three lanes in each direction), including a complete bridge deck with barrier rails, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, a raised median, and lighting. The proposed bridge would have the same roadway profile as the existing bridge. The existing four -lane bridge is the only constraint in the Project Area for Fairview Street to be built out to its master -planned width of six lanes. Fairview Street is designated as a six -lane Major Arterial, as shown in the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways and the City's General Plan Circulation Element. For further details of the project, please see the attached Archaeological Survey Report (ASR; Attachment D). 2. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS In accordance with Section 106 PA Stipulation VIII.A, the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project was established in consultation with Jonathan Wright, PQS Lead Archaeological Surveyor, and Tifini Tran, District 12 Local Assistance Engineer, on June 20, 2019. The APE map is in this Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) as Attachment A, Map 3. The 11.93-acre APE was established as the area encompassing all places in which the project has the potential to directly or indirectly affect historic properties if any such properties exist. The vertical APE within the APE will extend to a maximum depth of 15 feet for bridge abutments. 3.
