State of California — The Resources Agency Primary # P-30-100233 <br />DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # <br />CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial <br />Page 2 of 3 *Resource Name or #: (Assigned by recorder) LSA-WKE1702-IS-1-1 <br />fiKecordecl <br />'Date <br />u Uontmuation u U <br />*P2e. Other Locational Data: <br />... was found in an open greenbelt area approx. 8 m west of the pavement on Fairview Street. This location is 60 m SE of <br />the south edge of the Santa Ana River and even closer to the Santa Ana River trail, a paved trail following the south bank of <br />the river. The survey was conducted for the Fairview Bridge replacement project. <br />*P3a. Description: <br />... of the pavement along the west side of Fairview Street at an elevation of 95 ft. The greenbelt area where the shell was <br />found is a 1-1.5 acre triangularly -shaped area with benches, a water fountain, and trash bins that serves as a rest area for <br />those using the adjacent river trail. Most of the greenbelt area contains pathways of recently introduced decomposing <br />granitic (DG) material and recently planted endemic plant species. Although ground visibility is 30-100 percent in this area, <br />the DG and vegetation obscures much of the native sediment, which is a sandy alluvium with gravel. The area was <br />intensively surveyed after the shell was found but no other material was observed. It is difficult to know if the shell was left <br />here prehistorically by an individual, or if it washed to this location from a prehistoric site upstream during a flood episode. <br />Venus shell (Chione spp.) inhabit the substrate of sandy mudflats in bays and could have been obtained near the mouth of <br />the Santa Ana River approx. 8 miles downstream, or in Upper Newport Bay, located just over 7.0 miles to the SSE. <br />DPR 523L (1/95) *Required Information <br />
