SUMMARY
The South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD or District) is engaged in an on-going
program to restore and upgrade aging water infrastructure in the City of South Lake Tahoe,
California (El Dorado County). As part of this effort, in 2020 the STPUD initiated a comprehensive
water line and sewer line replacement project covering numerous neighborhoods within STPUD
area. In preparation for this project, an initial cultural resource investigation was completed in
2020 to conduct prefield records searches to identify any known cultural resources within the overall
service area. The 2020 cultural report was intended to serve as a baseline study and complementary
companion piece to aid in the preparation of subsequent cultural resource field investigations as
the District moved forward to year-to-year project implementation of future pipeline
rehabilitation/replacement projects. Because pipeline upgrades were in the early stages of planning,
archaeological field surveys were deferred until specific pipeline replacements were delineated.
The STPUD has now delineated three new water line projects involving
replacement/installation of approximately 6.3 miles of water lines. All pipelines are to be installed
within the road right-of-way under existing pavement or compacted road shoulder encompassing
up to 10 feet out from the edge of pavement.
Pioneer Trail Area. Install ~9,300 feet of new pipeline on Pioneer Trail and 2,000 feet of
pipeline replacement, including relocation of two PRV stations and one new pressure
regulating station within the Pioneer Trail right-of-way
Bijou Area. Replace ~12,000 feet of existing pipeline in the Bijou neighborhood
Herbert-Walkup Area. Replace ~10,000 feet of existing pipeline in Herbert-Walkup
neighborhood.
All three new project areas fall within the record search radius of the 2020 baseline cultural report.
As such, the current study serves as an addendum to the that cultural assessment. Since detailed
discussions of project background and authority, cultural and environmental context, and
archaeological methods appeared in the 2020 report, these topics are only briefly summarized in
this study addendum, with the present focus intended to apply results of the 2020 records search
to the 2021 archaeological field investigations.
Areas subject to project ground disturbing activities within and surrounding the proposed
6.31 miles of water service improvements constitute the project “area of potential effect” or APE.
The horizontal APE for the work area is the roadway (averaging 20 feet wide) plus a 10-foot-wide
buffer zone along each road shoulder for a total width of 40 feet. The horizontal APE totals 33,300
lineal feet (6.31 miles), 1,332,000 square feet or 30.58 acres. The vertical APE encompasses a
pipeline excavation depth of approximately five feet, except for the pressure regulating valves
where over-excavation for supports would extend the maximum depth to eight feet.
As part of the planning process, a set of environmental studies are required, including a
cultural resource inventory. Since the project is situated in El Dorado County in the Lake Tahoe
Basin, a cultural resource study needs to comply with El Dorado County mandates under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Section 5024, Public Resource Code) and Tahoe
Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) guidelines under the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 67. The
project is being funded through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) program, which

Consulting Archaeologist
is under the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The SRF program involves federal
money from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the SWRCB distributes.
Accordingly, the SWRCB requires environmental compliance with CEQA as well as federal
statutes involving cultural resources management under Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act.
Within this regulatory context, cultural resource studies are customarily performed in a series
of phases, each one building upon information gained from the prior study. The inventory phase
(Phase 1) involves prefield research and Native American contact (Phase 1A), field reconnaissance
(Phase 1B), and documentation of any cultural resources located within the project area (Phase 1C).
If cultural properties are present and subject to project-related impacts, their significance is evaluated
according to eligibility criteria established in the National Register of Historic Places and/or
California Register of Historical Resources (Phase 2). If project redesign to avoid impacts to eligible
resources is unfeasible, then mitigation measures are implemented (Phase 3). Mitigation (or data
recovery) typically involves supplemental archival research, field excavation, photo documentation,
mapping, archaeological monitoring, interpretation, etc. The objectives of this study are designed to
satisfy cultural guidelines pertaining to Phase 1A and Phase 1B. To accomplish this work, the
STPUD retained consulting archaeologist Susan Lindström, Ph.D. Tasks included:
review historical and archaeological background research of the project area
review and apply 2020 record search results from the California Historical Resources
Information System, North Central Information Center at California State University
Sacramento
as per CEQA guidelines and mandates under California Assembly Bill 52, request a records
search of the Sacred Lands File by the Native American Heritage Commission and initiate
contacts with local tribal organizations identified by the Commission (accomplished by
the STPUD)
conduct systematic reconnaissance level cultural resource field survey of the project APE
present findings in a technical report.
The 2020 NCIC results disclosed that portions of the current project APE have been subject
to at least one prior archaeological study, the 2020 STPUD Water Line Replacement initial study.
Nineteen other projects have been conducted within the 1/16-mile search area radius. Four cultural
resources occur within or adjoining the APE:
Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway (P-09-809) – Pioneer Trail and Herbert-Walkup
project areas
Lake Valley Railroad (P-09-1917) – Pioneer Trail and Bijou Project Area
historic trash scatter (P-09-3485) – Herbert-Walkup Project Area
Woodburn Mill (P-09-3486) – Pioneer Trail Project Area

An archaeological field survey was conducted by Dr. Lindström on October 15, 2021. The
field survey employed a mixed archaeological reconnaissance strategy, incorporating intensive,
general and cursory coverage.
No evidence of cultural resources previously recorded within or adjacent to the project
APE was relocated during the field survey and no new cultural resources were discovered. Multiple
residences over 50 years old occur within viewshed of the project APE, however, and they are
treated as historic properties for the purposes of this project. Since these historical buildings are
outside the direct project APE, they will not be physically impacted. Nor will the project introduce
any indirect visual elements that would have an adverse effect on the setting or viewshed of these
historic properties. Infrastructure development is part of the historic context of these residential
neighborhoods and replacement of an existing buried pipeline will not alter the current
neighborhood landscape character. Other potential indirect impacts associated with project activities
(e.g., audible, air quality, etc.) will be temporary and limited to the duration of construction activities.
Native American outreach initiated by the STPUD involved mailed certified letters and
follow-up phone calls/emails/fax. No response was received. Since the overall project may receive
funding from the federal government, any additional consultation with Native American groups
would be accomplished by the appropriate federal agency and in coordination with the STPUD.
In terms federal Section 106 guidelines, the study concludes there will be no impacts to
cultural resources within the direct project APE or its viewshed and a finding of “no historic
properties affected” is recommended. In terms of state CEQA and regional TRPA guidelines, the
project will not alter or adversely affect the physical or aesthetic properties of any cultural
structure, site, feature, or object. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change
that would affect unique ethnic (including Native American) cultural values or restrict religious or
sacred uses. The potential effects of this project on cultural resources are not considered to be a
significant effect on the environment.
The archival research methods and archaeological techniques employed during this
investigation have been comprehensive such that existing cultural materials in the project area visible
to surface examination would have been identified. Given the project’s prior subsurface disturbance,
it is doubtful that intact buried cultural deposits would be present. No further study or special
operational constraints need be imposed upon the project sponsor. However, consultant’s
statements regarding potential project impacts on cultural resources (i.e., “finding of effect”) are
considered provisional pending concurrence by the state reviewing agency(s).
In the event of unanticipated discoveries, project activities should cease near the find and
a qualified archaeologist should be consulted to evaluate the cultural resource in accordance with
federal, state and TRPA guidelines. Measures to mitigate project impacts (if appropriate) should
be implemented before ground-disturbing work near the resource continues. In the unlikely event
that human remains are encountered, all project activities should be stopped immediately, and the
County Coroner’s Office should be contacted. If the remains are determined to be of Native
American origin, the designated Most Likely Descendants should be notified and provide
recommendations for the proper treatment of the burial remains within 24 hours.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
In 2020 the South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) initiated a waterline replacement
project throughout their 23-square-mile service area involving the replacement of over 39,000
linear feet of existing water main and rehabilitation or replacement of over 42,000 linear feet of
existing sewer main over a 10-year period. In preparation for this District-wide project, an initial
cultural resource study was completed in 2020 (Lindström 2020). Although the scope of work was
limited to performing an archaeological records search to identify any known cultural resources
within the service area, the report was intended to have wider applications, serving as a baseline
study and complementary companion piece to subsequent cultural resource field investigations
conducted on a project-specific basis. As a continuation of the 2020 District-wide water line
improvement project, the STPUD has now delineated three new water line projects involving
replacement/installation of approximately 6.3 miles of water lines and fire hydrants and pressure
regulating stations (figures 1-2).
Pioneer Trail Area. Install ~9,300 feet of new pipeline on Pioneer Trail and 2,000 feet of
pipeline replacement, including relocation of two PRV stations currently within the Pioneer
Trail right-of-way near the intersections of Marshall Trail and Jicarilla Drive. The PRV
station to be located on Marshall Trail, will have three sets of PRVs in three separate
enclosures. One set of PRVs will provide water to the Golden Bear Zone, one to the
Kokanee Zone and the other to the Stateline Zone. The new PRV station located at Pioneer
Trail and Jicarilla will have two sets of PRVs in two separate aboveground enclosures. One
set of PRVs will provide water to the Pine Valley Zone, and one will provide water to the
Susquehana Zone to mitigate fire flow deficiencies and provide a secondary feed of water
to each of the zones.
Bijou Area. Replace ~12,000 feet of existing pipeline in the Bijou neighborhood.
Herbert-Walkup Area. Replace ~ 10,000 feet of existing pipeline in Herbert-Walkup
neighborhood.
The majority of STPUD water and sewer mains are small diameter pipelines (8-inches and
under) installed in trenches generally three to five feet wide. Waterline trenches are typically five
feet deep and sewer line trenches vary from four feet to over 15 feet deep, depending on terrain.
The pressure regulating stations may be belowground in a precast concrete vault or they may be
aboveground contained within a prefabricated aluminum heated enclosure. Each enclosure will
house two pressure regulating valves (PRV) and the enclosure size is planned to be 58 inches wide
by 106 inches long by 54 inches high. The PRV stations whether built belowground or
aboveground will have an aboveground instrumentation and communications panel as well as an
electrical service. Construction work entails saw-cutting and removal of existing pavement,
excavation, pipefitting, backfilling and compaction, paving, striping, landscape repair, and short-
term erosion controls. It is anticipated that all water lines and associated improvements will be
installed in previously disturbed areas within the road right-of-way under existing pavement or
compacted road shoulder encompassing up to 10 feet out from the edge of pavement.

The Pioneer Trail Project area falls within Township 12 North, Range 18 East, sections 10,
11 and 15, M.D.M., USGS South Lake Tahoe 7.5 Quad (Figure 1). It extends along Pioneer Trail
between its intersections with Marshall Trail on the north and Susquehana Drive on the south. The
Bijou Project area falls within Township 13 North, 18 East, Section 33 M.D.M., USGS South Lake
Tahoe 7.5 Quad (Figure 1). The project area is roughly bounded by U.S. Highway 50 on the north,
Cape Horn Road on the south, Rufus Allen Boulevard on the west and Oak Avenue and Takela
Drive on the east. The Herbert-Walkup Project area falls within Township 12 North, Range 18
East, Section 2, M.D.M., USGS South Lake Tahoe 7.5 Quad (Figure 1). Herbert Avenue borders
the project on the northeast, Walkup Road on the southwest, Woodland Road on the northwest,
and Warr Road and Pioneer Trail on the southeast.
These three new projects were included within the record search radius of the 2020 baseline
cultural report. As such, the current study is intended to serve as an addendum to that cultural
assessment. Since detailed discussions of project background and authority, cultural and
environmental context, and archaeological methods appeared in the 2020 report, these topics are
only briefly summarized in this study addendum, with the present focus intended to apply results
of the 2020 records search to the 2021 archaeological field investigations.
Areas subject to ground disturbing activities within and surrounding the three proposed
water service improvements constitute the project “area of potential effect” or APE. The horizontal
APE for the work area is the roadway (averaging 20 feet wide) plus a 10-foot-wide buffer zone
along each road shoulder for a general APE width of about 40 feet. The total project horizontal
APE is 33,300 lineal feet/6.31 miles/1,332,000 square feet/30.58 acres. The horizontal APE for
the Pioneer Trail Project area is 11,300 lineal feet/2.14 miles/452,000 square feet/10.37 acres. The
horizontal APE for the Bijou Project area is 12,000 lineal feat/2.27 miles/480,000 square feet/11.02
acres. The horizontal APE for the Herbert-Walkup Project area is 10,000 lineal feet/1.89
miles/400,000 square feet/9.18 acres. The vertical APE for all three project areas encompasses a
pipeline excavation depth of approximately five feet, except for the pressure regulating valves
where over-excavation for supports would extend the maximum depth to eight feet.
PROJECT AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
The project calls for the approval from several regulatory agencies and the acquisition of
various project permits. The proposed project action therefore requires that environmental review
include a cultural resource inventory in compliance with El Dorado County mandates under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Section 5024, Public Resource Code) and Tahoe
Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) guidelines under the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 67. The
project is being funded through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) program, which
is under the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The SRF program involves federal
money from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the SWRCB distributes, triggering
compliance for cultural resources management under the National Historic Preservation Act.
Section 106 of this act requires the federal government to take into consideration the effects of an
undertaking on cultural resources listed on or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places, as outlined in the Federal Register at 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 800. The
project proponent must identify the “area of potential effect” or APE, determine if historic properties
are present within that APE, determine the effect that the undertaking would have on historic
properties, and consult with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to seek concurrence on the
STPUD Water & Sewer Line Replacement Project 2020-Addendum (Pioneer Trail/Bijou/Herbert-Walkup)

findings. In addition, a project sponsor is required through the Section 106 process to contact Indian
tribes concerning the identification of sites of religious or cultural significance and consult with
individuals or groups who are entitled to be consulting parties or have requested to be consulting
parties. Under guidelines developed by CEQA (Pub. Res. Code SS5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section
4850 et seq.) and TRPA (Chapter 67, Code of Ordinances, Sections 67.3.2, 67.4 and 67.5), project
proponents are directed to do the same, identify cultural resources within a project area, evaluate their
significance according to criteria established in the California Register of Historical Resources, and
consult with the Native American Heritage Commission and tribes on the Commission’s contact list
to incorporate their opinions, knowledge and sentiments regarding the project (California Assembly
Bill 52, AB 52).
Within this regulatory context, cultural resource studies are customarily performed in a series
of phases, each one building upon information gained from the prior study. The inventory phase
(Phase 1) involves prefield research and Native American contact (Phase 1A), field
reconnaissance/resource discovery (Phase 1B), and documentation of any cultural resources located
within the project area (Phase 1C). If cultural properties are present and subject to project-related
impacts, their significance is evaluated according to eligibility criteria established in the National
Register of Historic Places and/or California Register of Historical Resources (Phase 2). If project
redesign to avoid impacts to eligible resources is unfeasible, then mitigation measures are
implemented (Phase 3). Mitigation (or data recovery) typically involves supplemental archival
research, field excavation, photo documentation, mapping, archaeological monitoring, interpretation,
etc. The objectives of this study are designed to satisfy cultural guidelines pertaining to Phase 1A
and Phase 1B.
SETTING
The physical and cultural setting of the general project area has been outlined in the 2020
companion report and only historical background specifically relevant to the Pioneer Trail, Bijou and
Herbert-Walkup project areas is summarized.
NATIVE AMERICAN PERIOD
The project area has a rich and long legacy of human history, with pre-Archaic remains
suggesting occupation by at least 9,000 years ago. In broadest terms, the archaeological signature
marks a trend from hunting-based societies in earlier times to more dispersed populations that were
increasingly reliant upon diverse resources by historic contact. The change in lifeways may be
attributed partially to factors involving paleoclimatic fluctuations, a shifting subsistence base, and
variable demographics.
Lake Tahoe lies at the heart of Washoe Indian territory and was both the spiritual and
physical center of the Washoe world. The Washoe once embodied a blend of Great Basin and
California in their geographical position and cultural attributes. During the mild season, small groups
traveled through high mountain valleys fishing and collecting edible and medicinal roots, seeds and
marsh plants. In the higher elevations, men hunted large game and trapped smaller mammals.
Archaeological evidence of these ancient subsistence and trekking activities is found along the
mountain flanks as temporary small hunting camps containing flakes of stone and broken tools. In
the high valleys semi-permanent base camps are represented by stone flakes, tools, grinding
implements, and house depressions.

By the l850s mining, lumbering, grazing, commercial fishing, tourism, and the growth of
settlements disrupted traditional Indian relationships to the land. Washoes survived by trading goods
and services to the dominant Euroamerican population (selling baskets, catching fish and game,
and working as domestic laborers, wood cutters, ice harvesters, caretakers, game guides, etc.) in
exchange for camping privileges on traditional lands with access to what resources remained. One
of these Washoe camps was established into the turn of the 18th and 19th century northeast of the
Bijou project area. Beginning in 1917 the Washoe Tribe began acquiring back a small part of their
traditional lands, remaining as a recognized tribe by the U.S. government with an established land
base. Today, the Washoe have developed a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that includes goals of
reestablishing a presence within the Lake Tahoe Basin and re-vitalizing Washoe heritage and cultural
knowledge, including the harvest and care of traditional plant resources and the protection of
traditional properties within the cultural landscape.
EUROAMERICAN PERIOD
Historic events within the project area involve heritage themes of transportation, logging,
grazing, and recreation and community development.
Transportation
The project APE is situated near the historic Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway/U.S. Highway
50 and associated way stations and resorts that sprang up in the project vicinity. The opening of the
Comstock mining boom in Nevada, beginning in mid-1859, prompted a sudden surge of heavy wagon
and freight traffic through the Tahoe Basin and quicker routes were sought across the Tahoe Sierra.
The general project area is accessed on the south by the historic Pioneer Trail and by U.S. Highway
50 on the north. Both comprise the earliest road components that made up the Bonanza Road System,
a major historic route over the Sierra between Placerville and the mines of the Comstock. Laid out
in l852, it was passable for wagons before 1854. The route was also known as the Johnson Cutoff,
the original dirt "Lake Road", the Placerville/Lake Tahoe Road, and the Lake Bigler Toll Road.
The expanding state and national highway system during the early part of the 20th century was
pioneered by the Lincoln Highway, the nation’s first transcontinental auto road. Unpublished
manuscripts and correspondence on file with the El Dorado County Department of Transportation,
indicate that the Pioneer Trail was part of the State Highway System from 1909 until 1917. The
Lincoln Highway concept was conceived in the fall of 1913 by the Lincoln Highway Association, in
concert with the fledgling auto industry and its support enterprises. Communities were encouraged
to build stretches of new road and/or improve existing roads to complete a continuous road from coast
to coast. Motorists traveling west along the Lincoln Highway, upon reaching Reno, had a choice of
routes over the Sierra Nevada. The southern branch of the Lincoln Highway headed south to Carson
City and then west via South Lake Tahoe along Pioneer Trail, over to Placerville and on into
Sacramento. The northern portion of the Lincoln Highway crossed the Sierra by way of Truckee and
Donner Pass and then on to Auburn and Sacramento. In 1925 the federal government adopted a
numbering system for its highways; as a result, named highways gradually fell out of fashion. In
1927 the Lincoln Highway Association disbanded as a business association.
Along the historic roadway, hostelries, way stations, and inns were established to provide the
services required by travelers. Hay and grain were raised in the meadows and small-scale ranching
and farming endeavors also developed in support of the local economy. The Sierra House, once

located near the northern extension of the Pioneer Trail Project area, was one of the more popular
way stations along the route. The inn was operated by lumberman, George Washington Chubbuck,
during the early 1880s.
Logging
Nineteenth-century lumbering in the Lake Tahoe Basin furnished timber, lumber and cord
wood for the Comstock mines. In the project vicinity, limited logging was carried out during the
1860s by individual small-scale operators on wood ranches and wood lots. Woodburn’s Mill,
located on Trout Creek (near where it crosses through the Pioneer Trail Project Area and due east of
the project APE) was in operation by 1860 with a daily output of between 6,000 and 10,000 board
feet. Woodburn expanded his milling activities, acquiring 560 acres of timber tract around his mill
in 1873, increasing his timber holdings to 2,200 acres in 1888. A shift in patterns of land ownership
began in the mid-1870s when highly capitalized Comstock lumber companies such as the Carson
Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Company (CTLFC) and their “shadow” affiliate company the El
Dorado Wood and Fluming Company (EDWFC), began buying up smaller parcels to gain control
of vast timber tracts. Woodburn sold his timber tracks to the CTLFC in 1888.
In 1873 D. L. Bliss and H. M. Yerington established the CTLFC, which was headquartered at
Glenbrook. The EDWFC, which was incorporated in 1875, shared investments and corporate
personalities with the CTLFC. Timber was moved from the forest to the mill through an elaborate
and impressive network of flumes, logging roads and wood camps. The company(s) subcontracted
out much of their logging to independent operators such as G. W. Chubbuck (once proprietor of
the Sierra House way station), who acquired land near Bijou for the EDWFC in 1884. Chubbuck
constructed a four-mile logging railroad from the lake up Cold Creek, which was incorporated into
the CTLFC's Lake Valley Railroad in 1886. The years between 1888 and 1891 were the most
productive for railroad operations. By 1890, 184,000 board feet were produced from the railroad
operation, comprising 44 per cent of the total lumber shipped by the CTLFC. The Lake Valley
Railroad logging system comprised at least 13 miles of grade, 16 miles of wagon haul roads, two
miles of V-flume, and 28 associated railroad/wood camps (Lindström 1997; Lindström and Hall
1998). The line was dismantled in 1898 when timber stands were depleted. The railroad’s main line
crossed Pioneer Trail through the project APE and traversed the modern-day Bijou neighborhood
west of the project APE.
Grazing
During the mid-1850s to 1860s markets created by teamsters traveling through Lake Valley
prompted the development of seasonal farming and ranching and meadowlands were quickly
preempted. By 1880 Lake Valley afforded pasturage for 1,800 cows and during the summer of
1862 over 400 tons of hay had been cut in the valley's meadowlands, a figure that increased to 800
tons in 1875. After the demise of logging at the turn of the century, cut-over lands were leased
and/or sold for grazing purposes. In 1908 Chris and Knox Johnson were running cattle around
Bijou Meadows (due east of the Bijou Project APE and now occupied by the Bijou Golf Course),
and leasing other lands within a radius of Bijou, Lake Christopher, Fountain Place, and Meyers.
Members of the Johnson family were pioneer irrigators and developed a ditch system and a series
of small dams on Trout, Cold and Heavenly Valley creeks to water Bijou and Trout Creek
meadowlands during the summer.

Recreation and Community Development
Grazing and timber production ultimately gave way to tourism and community development,
and recreation and allied services became the major economic forces shaping growth in the Lake
Tahoe Basin. By the late l890s, the demand for lumber dropped sharply with the close of the
Comstock mining boom. As the Tahoe Basin attracted more interest and more tourists, diverse
resorts appeared along the shores of the lake. Growing numbers of eastern visitors joined the
members of San Francisco's elite and the wealthy mining and business interests of the Comstock
at the lake's best hotels, such as Tallac and Glenbrook. People of more modest means camped or
vacationed in rustic hotels and cottages. Tahoe's backwoods became increasingly populated by
recreationists. The U.S. Forest Service initiated patrols for visitor safety and to respond to the
increased fire danger. Thereafter, the legalization of gambling in Nevada in 1931 and the
emergence of the ski industry during the 1950s became significant factors in the economic structure
of the Tahoe Basin and prompted the movement toward year-round use of the Tahoe Basin. Budding
developments at Heavenly Ski Resort in 1954, followed by the 1960 Winter Olympics prompted
an irreversible trend that established the demand for year-round residency, which brought real
estate development along Tahoe’s southeast shore, along with the growing demands for water and
waste management infrastructure currently provided by the STPUD.
METHODS
To perform the archaeological work, the STPUD contracted with Susan Lindström, Ph.D.,
Consulting Archaeologist. With nearly five decades of professional experience in regional prehistory
and history, Dr. Lindström exceeds the Secretary of Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards
in archaeology, history and related disciplines (48 FR 44738-44739). She holds a doctoral degree in
anthropology/archaeology and has maintained certification by the Register of Professional
Archaeologists (RPA, former Society of Professional Archaeologists) since 1982 (resume in
Appendix 1). Adrian Combes, P.E. and Senior Engineer for the STPUD provided helpful project
background, maps and project descriptions.
RECORDS SEARCH
Phase 1A prefield research typically entails a request for an archaeological records search at
the California Historical Resources Information System, North Central Information Center (NCIC) at
California State University Sacramento. The NCIC serves as the archaeological clearing house and
maintains records of prior surveys and cultural properties located in El Dorado County and listed in
the National Register, California Register and other data bases. A records search was conducted on
October 6, 2020 (NCIC No.: Eld-20-98). as part of the initial 2020 cultural study (Lindström 2020).
Since the current project encompassing Pioneer Trail, Bijou and Herbert-Walkup project areas was
covered under the 2020 records check, and since the prior records review is only about one year old,
the NCIC records search was not updated. The 2020 results were applied to the 2021 study addendum
and augmented by a review of pertinent published and unpublished literature specific to the Pioneer
Trail, Bijou and Herbert-Walkup project areas. Other references checked include archaeological sites
and surveys in El Dorado County and other official inventories to include:

Relevant sections of the 2020 NCIC records search, including cultural resource maps and
listings of prior archaeological survey reports and known cultural resources within a 1/16-mile-radius
of the project APE, have been extracted, reconfigured and modified for inclusion in the current report.
Results are summarized in Table 1 with more detail contained in Appendix 2. The 2020 NCIC results
disclosed that portions of the current project APE have been subject to at least one prior archaeological
study, the 2020 STPUD Water Line Replacement initial study (Lindström 2020). Nineteen other
projects have been conducted within the 1/16-mile search area radius. Most archaeological work has
been conducted in advance of other infrastructure upgrades by the STPUD, as well as timber harvest
projects, road improvements along U.S. Highway 50 and Pioneer Trail, and miscellaneous Bijou
community planning projects. Also, an extensive federal urban lot survey was conducted by the
U.S. Forest Service in the general project area, but locations of individual undeveloped parcels are
not available. Four cultural resources occur within the project APE and/or its 1/16-mile radius:
Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway (P-09-809) – Pioneer Trail and Herbert-Walkup
project areas
Lake Valley Railroad (P-09-1917) – Pioneer Trail and Bijou Project Area
historic trash scatter (P-09-3485) – Herbert-Walkup Project Area
Woodburn Mill (P-09-3486) – Pioneer Trail Project Area
Copies of archaeological site records were obtained from the NCIC for field reference and relevant
sections are reproduced under separate cover in the accompanying Confidential Appendix. Extensive
linear features such as the Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway (P-09-809) spanning state-wide have
been recorded multiple times. Site records for only those segments that are geographically relevant
to the project APE are included in the accompanying Confidential Appendix (especially see
Berrien 1991 and 1992). A contextual history of the Lake Valley logging railroad (Lindström 1997)
and comprehensive recordings of the Lake Valley Railroad’s main line and associated spurs,
wagon roads, flumes, logging camps, etc. (P-09-1917), first presented in an 85-page site record
(Lindström and Hall 1996), have also been inventoried on several occasions. As such only the
initial Primary Record has been reproduced in the accompanying Confidential Appendix.
Similarly, the extensive site of Woodburn’s sawmill (P-09-3486), which has been meticulously
documented in a 78-page site record (Berrien 1991), is only abstracted in the Confidential
Appendix. The brief site record for the sparse historic can scatter (P-09-3485, Napton 2003)
appears in full in the Confidential Appendix. Because no artifacts or features associated with any
of these sites were encountered within the project APE, no archaeological site record updates were
prepared.

NATIVE AMERICAN OUTREACH
Mandates under State of California Assembly Bill (AB) 52 specify that a project with an
effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource
is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. AB52 directs a lead agency (or
their designated representative) to consult with the Native American Heritage Commission
(NAHC) and request a search of the Sacred Lands Files. To complete the AB52 requirements,
follow-up communications with all groups/individuals on the Commission’s contact list are
STPUD Water & Sewer Line Replacement Project 2020-Addendum (Pioneer Trail/Bijou/Herbert-Walkup)
December 2021 16 Susan Lindström, Ph.D.

generally recommended to incorporate tribal opinions, knowledge and sentiments regarding the
project.
Consultations with the NAHC to request an updated search of the Sacred Land Files were
initiated by the STPUD on August 27, 2021. When no response was received, a second request
was sent on September 8th, followed by an email on October 22nd and two phone calls in which the
NAHC stated that although they had received the STPUD requests, short staffing was delaying a
response. The STPUD then proceeded to contact individual Tribes on the Commission’s contact
list in a prior records search provided on November 19, 2018 to the following tribes:
Clyde Prout, Chairperson and Pamela Cubbler, Treasurer of the Colfax-Todds Valley
Consolidated Tribe
Sara Dutschke Setchwaelo, Chairperson of the Ione Band of Miwok Indians
Cosme A. Valdez, Chairperson of the Nashville Enterprise Miwok-Maidu-Nishinam Tribe
Regina Cuellar, Chairperson of the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians
Don Ryberg, Chairperson, and Grayson Coney, Cultural Director for the Tsi Akim Maidu
Gene Whitehouse, Chairperson of the United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn
Rancheria
Darrel Cruz, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and
California
Certified letters containing a project description and map were mailed on October 29, 2021, with
follow-up emails/fax sent on December 16th. No response was received. Since the overall project
may receive funding from the federal government, any additional consultation with Native American
groups would be accomplished by the appropriate federal agency and in coordination with the
STPUD. (Note at that time of these communications, the STPUD was anticipating five water line
upgrades as part of their overall water line improvement project. The District has since divided
the single project comprising the five water line upgrades into two water line improvement
projects, one comprising three water line upgrades (the Pioneer Trail, Bijou and Herbert-Walkup
areas and the subject of this report) and a second comprising two water line upgrades (the Apache
and Lake Tahoe Boulevard areas and the subject of a subsequent report). Correspondence
documenting Native American out-reach for all five water line upgrades is duplicated in both
reports.
FIELD SURVEY
An intensive Phase 1B archaeological field survey was conducted by Dr. Lindström on
October 15, 2021. A USGS topographic map (7.5’ quadrangle) and expanded scale project maps
and aerial photos were used to structure the field work phase. Locational information was
monitored by compass and pacing.
All project activities are anticipated along roadways and/or disturbed shoulders within the
road right-of-way where the entire project APE has been subject to residential and commercial
development. Utility infrastructure passes beneath paved roads and shoulders within the
subdivisions. In many cases subsurface disturbance extends to a considerable depth and likely
below any potential archaeological surface or subsurface deposits that could once have been
present or remain intact. Road shoulders largely comprise compacted dirt, mud or gravel that
exhibit ground disturbance from road construction/maintenance activities, buried utilities, erosion

control features, and/or ornamental landscaping. Driveways are both dirt and asphalt. Concrete
curbs/gutters are generally absent from these residential neighborhoods but front certain commercial
buildings. General disturbance types are listed below:
(1) disturbed interface between road shoulder and residential developed lot, ground surface
not obscured
(2) disturbed interface along road shoulder and/or between road shoulder and residential
developed lot, ground surface obscured by duff, brush and/or landscaping
(3) waterlines and other utilities buried within road shoulder
(4) drainage ditches and other erosion control features excavated into road shoulder
(5) paved over roadways, driveways and gutters across road shoulder.
The field survey employed a mixed archaeological reconnaissance strategy, incorporating
intensive, general and cursory coverage (figures 3-8). Overall, ground surface visibility varied from
completely obscured (in the case of hardscape and the built environment) to clearly exposed road
shoulders. To gain an overview of the entire project APE, each project area was subject to an initial
cursory “windshield” survey covering all surfaces where the roadway hardscape completely obscured
the native ground surface. Any relatively undisturbed exposed ground along road shoulders was
targeted for intensive and/or general pedestrian coverage. Undisturbed areas on undeveloped lots
adjoining the project APE were cursorily inspected.
Intensive Coverage. The intensive reconnaissance entailed systematically walking the area
up to 10 feet from either edge of the road paving in transects no greater than three feet
(approximately one meter) apart, looking for all evidence of prior human activity. In many
cases it was necessary (and possible) to perform some ground cover modification to allow
for the detection of the smallest of archaeological remains likely to occur in the area under
study. The four locales previously known to contain cultural resources (and their immediate
surroundings) and relatively undisturbed road shoulders fronting undeveloped lots were most
carefully examined.
General Coverage. Although most cleared and compacted road shoulders were systematically
transected, in many cases ground surfaces were partly obscured affording only general
coverage (in the case of pine duff, shrubs such as wild rose, manzanita, bitterbrush, currant,
service berry, willow, and assorted grasses).
Cursory Coverage. Much of the project area is covered by hard surface overlays and the
built environment where the native ground surface is no longer visible, i.e., the paved
roadway and adjoining driveways, concrete curbs and gutters and paved bike trails. All
hardscape was subject to a cursory “windshield” survey. Empty lots adjoining the project
APE were subject to a brief and intuitive cursory reconnaissance.
Pioneer Trail Project Area
Much of modern-day Pioneer Trail follows the historic alignment of Pioneer Trail/Lincoln
Highway (P-09-809) once a component in a major trans-sierran road system dating from the 1850s.

The Lake Valley Railroad (P-09-1917) once crossed Pioneer Trail near Trout Creek approximately ¼
mile south of the northern APE boundary at Marshall Trail. In addition, the historic Woodburn Mill
(P-09-3486), dating from 1860, was once located on Trout Creek near where it crosses Pioneer Trail
and due east of the project APE. Because of Pioneer Trail’s legacy in regional transportation and
logging history, the entire project APE was intensively examined. Both shoulders of Pioneer Trail
were walked to inspect any exposed (although disturbed) ground surface (figures 3-5). Excepting the
area on the north side of the road between Susquehana and Jicarilla drives that has been improved
with an asphalt bike trail and curbing, and curbing near Marshall and Kokanee trails, most of the north
side of the road remains undeveloped (photos 1-2). All the area along the south side of Pioneer Trail
also remains undeveloped, except for a short section of guardrail (Photo 9) and an erosion control
wooden barrier in the northern portion of the APE where the slope steepens between Kokanee and
Marshall trails (photos 5-7). Underground utilities are buried along both road shoulders, however.
No evidence of the historic route and grade of Pioneer Trail (P-09-809) or the Lake Valley
Railroad (P-09-1917) remains and there are no traces of Woodburn’s Mill (P-09-3486) within the
project APE.
A section of abandoned bridge was observed paralleling the north side of the road between
Golden Bear Trail and the Trout Creek crossing (photos 3-4). The foundations are outside the APE
and exposed below the fill that now carries Pioneer Trail across the creek. Note that Berrien (1992)
in her site recording of the Lincoln Highway near Trout Creek referenced a possible bridge remnant
across the creek (USFS 05-19-28).
A fence line parallels a short section of roadway midway along its south side and outside the
APE. Seven fence posts (wooden and metal “T-bar”) are still standing, and barbed wire is unstrung
(Photo 8).
A few historic cut stump remnants from historic logging occur in open space areas outside
APE.

Bijou Project Area
Archaeological coverage employed a mixed reconnaissance strategy (figures 6-8). The entire
area was first subject to a cursory “windshield” survey. The northern section surrounding Treehaven
Drive is a mix of commercial and single and multi-family residential buildings dating from the ca.
1960s-1980s. Concrete curbing fronts commercial enterprises and residential frontage is compacted
dirt (photos 10-17). The southern section of the project area is a much older subdivision with many
residences dating ca. 1920s-1930s. Given the age of the buildings and presence of several
undeveloped lots with relatively undisturbed road shoulders, the entire area bounded by Deer Park
Avenue on the north, Cape Horn Road on the south, Craig Avenue on the west and Oak Avenue on
the east was intensively examined by walking systematic transects along both sides of all roadways.
The route of the historic Lake Valley logging railroad (P-09-1917) in operation from 1886 to 1898,
once traversed the Bijou neighborhood on a northwest-southeast trend and areas that may have
contained its former alignment were carefully examined. No remnants of the historic alignment were
encountered.

Herbert-Walkup Project Area
Archaeological coverage employed a mixed reconnaissance strategy (figures 6-7 and 9). The
entire area was first subject to a cursory “windshield” survey. Road shoulders bordering open space
areas were intensively examined by walking systematic transects, including Herbert Avenue, Walkup
Road, Red Lake Road, and the southwestern extension of Woodland Road. Road shoulders fronting
several undeveloped lots along Hobart Road were given general coverage. A paved bike trail (part of
the “South Tahoe Greenway”) crosses through the subdivision in the vicinity of Aloha Road. Overall,
this subdivision is newer with residences dating ca 1960s-1990s and new construction is ongoing.
Considerable open space remains throughout the subdivision and wetlands are preserved along
Herbert Avenue. The ground is level, streets are wider and dirt road shoulders are often bounded by
landscaping and parking areas. Concrete curbing is present along Herbert Avenue (photos 18-23).
The eastern extensions of Herbert Avenue, Walkup Road and Janet Drive intersect the historic
Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway (P-09-809). A historic trash scatter (P-09-3485) has been recorded
near the Pioneer Trail’s intersection with Herbert Avenue (Napton 2003), described as eight small,
rusted metal food cans. No historic artifacts were observed in the vicinity of the project APE.
A few historic cut stump remnants from historic logging occur in open space areas outside
APE.

RESULTS
Four cultural resources have been reported within the project APE and/or its 1/16-mile radius:
Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway (P-09-809) – Pioneer Trail and Herbert-Walkup
project areas
Lake Valley Railroad (P-09-1917) – Pioneer Trail and Bijou Project Area
historic trash scatter (P-09-3485) – Herbert-Walkup Project Area
Woodburn Mill (P-09-3486) – Pioneer Trail Project Area
None of these known cultural resources were relocated, and no new cultural resources were
discovered within the project APE during the field reconnaissance.
The Pioneer Trail Project APE follows modern-day Pioneer Trail and the basic
alignment of the historic Pioneer Trail/Lincoln Highway (P-09-809). Although the
general alignment remains, its original grade and bed have been considerably
altered and integrity has been badly compromised. No remains of the original
roadbed or historic artifacts/features associated with its historic use were
encountered within the project APE.
The alignment of the historic Lake Valley Railroad (P-09-1917) that once crossed
Pioneer trail and traversed through the Bijou neighborhood has been obliterated
within the project APE by modern transportation and residential development. No
remnants of the railroad grade or associated artifacts/features were encountered.
Likewise, remnants of the historic Woodburn Mill (P-09-3486), which once
adjoined Pioneer Trail on the east in the vicinity of Trout Creek are absent within
the APE.
None of the eight cans inventoried as part of the sparse historic trash scatter (P-09-
3485) near the intersection of Herbert Avenue and Pioneer Trail could be found
within the project APE.
Although no historic buildings are situated within the project APE, multiple residences
over 50 years old occur within viewshed of the project APE, especially in the southern half of the
Bijou neighborhood. Nonetheless, these buildings within the project “visual APE” are treated as
historic properties for the purposes of this project even though they will be subject to no direct or
indirect project impacts. Since these historical buildings are outside the direct project APE, they
will not be physically disturbed. The project will not introduce any visual components that would
have an adverse effect on the setting or viewshed of these historic properties. Infrastructure
development is part of the historic context of these residential neighborhoods and replacement of
an existing buried pipeline will not alter the current neighborhood landscape character. Potential
indirect impacts associated with project activities (e.g., audible, air quality, etc.) will be temporary
and limited to the duration of construction activities.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Neither prefield research nor archaeological field survey identified any cultural resources
within the project APE. Although multiple residences over 50 years old were identified within
viewshed of the project APE, ones that meet the National and California Register age criteria and
are treated as historic properties for the purposes of this project, these historic buildings will not
be physically and directly impacted by project activities, nor will visual components introduced
by the project have an indirect impact on the viewshed of the APE. Replacement of an existing
buried pipeline will not alter the current neighborhood landscape character and any potential
impacts associated with project activities (e.g., audible, air quality, etc.) would be temporary and
limited to the duration of construction activities.
In terms of CEQA and TRPA guidelines, it is recommended that the project will not alter
or adversely affect the physical or aesthetic properties of any significant heritage structure, site,
feature, or object. The project will not have the potential to cause a physical change that would
affect unique ethnic cultural values or restrict religious or sacred uses. The potential effects of this
project on cultural resources are not considered to be a significant effect on the environment.
Initial Native American outreach has been accomplished by the STPUD according to CEQA
guidelines and mandates under California Assembly Bill 52 (pursuant to PRC 21080.3.1). Native
American groups did not respond to STPUD communications. Any follow-up Native American
consultation will be accomplished by the appropriate federal agency and in coordination with the
STPUD.
In terms Section 106 guidelines, there will be no impacts to significant cultural resources
and a finding of “no historic properties affected” is recommended.
The archival research methods and archaeological techniques employed during this
investigation were comprehensive such that existing cultural materials in the project area visible to
surface examination would have been identified. Given the project’s prior subsurface disturbance, it
is doubtful that intact buried cultural deposits would be present. Although the project area has been
subject to systematic surface archaeological investigations, it is remotely possible that buried or
concealed cultural resources could be present and detected during project ground disturbance
activities. If cultural resources are discovered, project activities should cease near the find and the
project sponsor should consult a qualified archaeologist for recommended procedures. A qualified
registered professional archaeologist (RPA) should be on-call during project ground-disturbance
activities.
In the unlikely event that human remains are encountered during the proposed project, all
activities should be stopped immediately, and the County Coroner’s Office should be contacted
pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 7050.5. If the remains are determined to be of
Native American origin, the NAHC should be notified within 24 hours of determination, as
required by PRC Section 5097.94, 5097.98 and 5097.99. The Native American Heritage
Commission should notify designated Most Likely Descendants (in this case the Washoe Tribe),
who should provide recommendations for the treatment of the remains within 24 hours.

With the completion and submittal of this report, federal, state and county requirements for
a cultural resource inventory have been accomplished. No further study or special operational
constraints need be imposed upon the project sponsor. However, until concurrence by the state
reviewing agency has been confirmed, statements regarding potential project impacts on cultural
resources (i.e., “finding of effect”) are considered consultant’s recommendations and not final
conclusions.
