VAFB-1985-12: Archaeological Investigation: Northwest Lompoc / Jesus Maria Project, Union Oil Company of California, Vandenberg Air Force Base

Author(s): John M. Foster; Roberta S. Greenwood

Year: 1985

Summary

This document is a study that was conducted for Union Oil Company to identify and evaluate cultural resources which may be affected by their proposed Northwest Lompoc/Jesus Maria Project on VAFB. Union Oil proposes to construct 43 well pads with size ranging from an area of 200x200 to 200x420 feet, combined cable/pipeline corridors 10-15 feet wide, and new access roads 20 feet wide.

The inventory resulted in the discover of nine archaeological sites and nine cultural resource isolates (eight prehistoric and one historical). In addition to the newly recorded sites, 11 previously identified cultural resources were revisited and their site records updates as needed. Of the 20 sites, eight appear to be eligible for the NRHP (JM-1, 4, 5, 7, CA-SBA-593, 1026, 1027, and 1088). The remaining four sites have been evaluated as potentially eligible to he NRHP and recommendations have been made for their management so that there will be little of no adverse effect. The other 11 sites do not appear to be eligible.
