Sullivan Park Fire Station Conversion <br /> Draft Environmental Assessment <br /> station was constructed in 1996 and is therefore not old enough to qualify for <br /> listing on a historic register. <br /> Environmental Consequences <br /> Development of the fire station and roadway did not result in any impacts to <br /> identified historic or cultural resources on the Conversion Site or Sullivan Park. <br /> The site of the conversion is currently developed with no planned construction <br /> activities or associated potential to encounter cultural resources. <br /> 4.10.2 Replacement Site <br /> Existing Conditions <br /> Background research indicated that there are no cemeteries, archaeological sites, <br /> or historic properties on the Replacement Site. No cultural resource <br /> investigations have been previously conducted on or adjacent to the <br /> Replacement Site. The closest previously conducted cultural resource <br /> investigation was approximately 200 feet east of the site,near I-5. Results of that <br /> investigation determined that the area was extensively disturbed as a result of <br /> prior road construction activities,and no evidence of cultural resources was <br /> encountered. <br /> The closest recorded cemetery,the Cypress Lawn Memorial Cemetery,is located <br /> approximately 1.0 mile north of the site.The nearest previously recorded <br /> archaeological site was recorded approximately 1.0 mile northwest of the site. <br /> The closest recorded historic properties are located approximately 200 feet to the <br /> west of the Replacement Site and include single family residences that were <br /> constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. <br /> A field investigation of the Replacement Site was conducted on March 9,2012 <br /> and noted that the area was composed primarily of undeveloped forested area. <br /> The south portion of the site had been recently cleared of all underbrush and <br /> several trees had recently blown over,which provided up to 2.0 feet in depth of <br /> subsurface deposit exposures. Observed subsurface deposits in these areas <br /> consisted entirely of glacial till intermixed with gravels. Considering the low <br /> probability of cultural resources(as determined by the contextual overview and <br /> extent of representative surface and subsurface exposures in the area), shovel test <br /> probes were not excavated. <br /> Vegetation on the site is largely second growth forest. In the northwest portion <br /> of the site, a springboard notch was observed in a large cedar stump,but this <br /> notch was not considered to be historically significant. <br /> Page 30 <br />
