Santa Clara University is built upon a number of cultural resources, including a Native American
burial site, a California Spanish Mission, a Mexican Period rural town, and a diverse neighborhood
of American immigrant families dating back to the 1850s. The University seeks to meet the needs
of their growing student body and expand their campus through new construction. Given the
extensive history of the site, any development on campus has a high potential to impact significant
cultural resources. Since 2001, Albion has worked with the City of Santa Clara and the University to
develop a Cultural Resource Management proactive planning process. This proven model allows
projects to be completed on time and within budget. Albion was involved in the development of the
Master Plan and updates and has written multiple project-specific management plans. We are also
working on interpretation of one of the University projects through the use of archaeological data to
create avenues for dialog between the University, tribal communities, and the general public, and to
engage with scholars in professional archaeological and historical societies. The first art exhibit in
the new Art and Art History building displays sketches of artifacts Albion recovered beneath the
buildings footprint. All Projects Cost: $6,264,668.64 to date

The City of Monterey started rehabilitating their sewer system in 2016, requiring the replacement or
repair of sewer pipes and man holes across the entire City. The chance for encountering known or
previously unrecorded archaeological sites is very high throughout the Project Area. In accordance
with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program developed by the City, Albion was
subcontracted by SWCA Environmental Consultants to monitor ground disturbing activities that
intersect or fall within 300 ft of known cultural resources. The Project Area includes approximately
258 locations that require monitoring. Our on-call archaeologists monitored these archaeological
sensitive areas during day and evening shifts. The Project often required several teams working at
multiple locations simultaneously to support construction goals.

Besides providing cultural resource management training for construction crews, Albions
archaeological monitors carefully observed ground disturbing activities to detect in-tact resources,
conducted initial investigations when cultural deposits are uncovered, and communicated with
Albion senior staff when a potential resource has been identified. Albion senior staff expediently
responded to discoveries, and made in-field assessments of significance under Section 106
guidelines for precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial archaeological deposits.

To date, we have re-identified four known sites and discovered one previously unrecorded site; we
updated and created site records for these sites. We also consulted with the City and the Projects
Native American Most Likely Descendent (MLD) regarding data recovery required within one of the
identified sites (CA-MNT-298). Albion provided a team of archaeological monitors, senior
archaeologists, and Native American consultants to assess all types of archaeological discoveries
encountered during the Project, to assist the City of Monterey in managing impacts to cultural
resources, and to meet Project timelines within budget. Costs: $166,207.34 to date

Albion conducted a power structure survey and risk assessment, and developed an Avian
Protection Plan for Camp San Luis Obispo. We assessed all power structures on the base,
searched for avian fatalities along the power lines, and delineated Avian Concentration Areas
based on point-count surveys and landscape features. We assessed the relative risk of power
structures and included the results in an Avian Protection Plan. Our work supported CA ANGs
commitment to environmental stewardship and compliance with federal and state regulations by
providing recommendations for minimizing the impacts of power poles and power lines on birds and
thereby also improving the safety and efficiency of Camp San Luis Obispos infrastructure.

Incorporated in 1997, Albion Environmental, Inc. (Albion) offers expertise and experience in natural and cultural
resource management. We specialize in resource inventories and assessments, impact analyses, mitigation planning, and
compliance monitoring. Our knowledge of the regulatory frameworks allows us to competently guide clients through the
full environmental review process. Over the past 20 years, Albions staff has been committed to working closely with our
clients, efficiently planning and managing projects, and conducting reputable scientific studies. As a local small business,
we know the resources, communities, and environmental regulations.

Our purpose is to assist clients in meeting federal, State, and local environmental regulatory requirements that protect
natural and cultural resources. We are proficient working under the guidelines of the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA),
Assembly Bill (AB) 52, Senate Bill 18, and the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). We are experts
in consulting with agencies and developers about the impacts of projects on the resources and negotiating the best
possible outcome for all stakeholders. Our team conducts scientific field studies and develops mitigation plans to manage
potential impacts. We implement mitigation measures, such as compliance monitoring, to ensure that our clients are
compliant with regulations and that their projects are successfully completed on time and within budget.

Albion is a Women-Owned Business and presently employs 38 individuals, including principals, senior scientists,
technicians, and administrative personnel. We routinely manage between 30 and 40 concurrent project and task
assignments, and employ a comprehensive business management system, Deltek Vision, which is designed for the
management of complex, multi-task assignments. At Albion, we prioritize early planning and good communication,
getting the job done quickly and correctly, thus minimizing unnecessary scrutiny and potential project delays.

Albion staff is headquartered in Santa Cruz and routinely works with clients throughout Monterey Bay and San Francisco
Bay areas, including City and County agencies, Caltrans, California State Parks at Point Lobos and Asilomar, and private
developers. In addition, we have a long record of successful work with environmental compliance for federal agencies such
as the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Bureau of Land Management. Albion recently completed
construction monitoring services to the City of Monterey for their Sewer Rehabilitation Project and are starting work for
the County of Monterey in Moss Landing. Each of our principal scientists has years, often decades, of hands-on experience
with the local resources, and Albions team works diligently with our clients and stakeholders to assist in making each
project a success.
As a small business, Albion provides direct Principal participation in all projects. This is the basis for our Quality Control/
Quality Assurance Measures (QA/QC) program and has resulted in high quality products, efficient project management,
and cost control. A benefit of our small business is that any corrections in the execution of a project can occur almost as
soon as a problem is identified. Over the past 20 years, Albion has built and maintained a strong reputation for successfully
executing projects under complex regulatory contexts. Our broad range of projects and clients, in concert with our strong
local experience, makes Albion especially qualified to perform cultural and natural resource services for the City of Carmel.
