Historical Resources Evaluation Report June 2019 Fairview Street Improvements and Bridge Replacement Project III. FIELD METHODS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY METHODS On March 16, 2018, a pedestrian survey of portions of the APE was completed. Because much of the project area is within Fairview Street ROW, survey did not occur in all areas. Areas of exposed ground, even if vegetated, were surveyed by walking linear transects separated by 7 to 10 meters over larger areas and opportunistically over smaller areas. Special attention was given to larger areas that exhibited exposed sediment, such as alongside the Santa Ana River bike trail. Areas within the APE that were not surveyed included the central portion of the street. Due to project access along the sidewalk, the sidewalk was surveyed, with focus being the many open areas where palm trees are planted, as well as lawns and other open areas with and without vegetative cover. ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY METHODS On April 4, 2019, architectural historians Casey Tibbet and Eugene Heck conducted an intensive -level pedestrian survey of the historic -period built environment in the APE. During the survey, Ms. Tibbet took digital photographs of the exteriors of the historic -period buildings and features and made detailed notations regarding their current conditions, integrity levels, physical characteristics, and setting. In addition, Ms. Tibbet and Mr. Heck completed a reconnaissance -level survey of the general setting, as well as the buildings and features that are exempt from evaluation pursuant to the Caltrans Section 106 PA. 5
