If fire protection is required, the customer will need to contact RCWD for fees and
requirements.
Water mTailability would be contingent upon the property owner signing an

Dear Mr. Preisendanz:
It has come to our attention that Spring Pacific Properties, LLC plans to construct a
residential development (PA02-0339) near the intersection of Pala Road and Wold Valley Road
in the City of Temecula, Riverside County, California. This activity may require a U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers permit.
A Corps of Engineers permit is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material into,
including any redeposit of dredged material within, "waters of the United States" and adjacent
wetlands pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972. Examples include, but are not
limited to,
1. creating fills for residential or commercial development, placing bank protection,
temporary or permanent stockpiling of excavated material, building road crossings, backfiAling
for utility line crossings and constructing outfall structures, dams, levees, groins, weirs, or other
structures;
2. mechanized landclearing, grading which involves filling low areas or land leveling,
ditching, charmelizing and other excavation activities that would have the effect of destroying
or degrading waters of the United States;
3. allowing runoff or overflow from a contained land or water disposal area to reenter a
water of the United States;
4. placing pilings when such placement has or would have the effect of a discharge of fill
material.

Dear Mr: Preisendanz:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the site plan for the 832 dwelling units
within the Wolf Creek Specific Plan. RTA has recently extended Route 24 to
serve the Pechanga Resort. It is recommended that as part of the development
review, conditions are placed on the project to insure that there will be pedestrian
and bicycle access from the project out to Loop Rd. and Pala Rd. For example, if
a 6 ft. high wall is required around the project boundary, then there shouid be
breaks in the wall to allow for transit accessibility. It is also recommended that
bus turnouts be placed at intervals of two - tenths of a mile along Pala Rd.
between Wolf Valley Road and Deer Hollow Road. Bus stops along Loop Road
are also requested for future shuttle service as the development builds out.
If you needfurther clarification please do not hesitate to call me at (909) 565-

RE: Cultural Resource Review
Case: PA02-0339/Wolfe Creek Specific Plan
Records at the Eastern information Center of the California Historical Resources Information
System have been reviewed to determine if this project would adversely affect prehistoric
or historic cultural resources:
__ The proposed project area has not been surveyed for cultural resources and contains or is adjacent to
known cultural resource(s). A Phase I study is recommended.
V' Based upon existing data the proposed project area has the potential for containing cultural resources.
A Phase I study is recommended.
A Phase I cultural resource study (MF # ) identified one or more cultural resources.
The I~roject area contains, or has the possibility of containing, cultural resources. However, due to the
nature of the project or prior data recovery studies, an adverse effect on cultural resources is not
anticipated. Further study is not recommended.
!/ A Phase I cultural resource study iMF #475 [part of a larger project] and MF #2746) identified no cultural
resources within the project boundaries.
There is a Iow probability of cultural resources. Further study is not recommended.
If, during construction, cultural resources are encountered, work should be halted or diverted in the
immediate area while e qualified archaeologist evaluates the finds end makes recommendations.
. Due to the archaeological sensitivity of the area, earthmoving during construction should be monitored
by a professional archaeologist.
V' The submis, sion of a cultural resource management report is r.e, commended following guidelines for
Archaeological Resource Management Reports prepared by the Cahfornia Office of Historic Preservation,
Preservation Planning Bulletin 4fa), December 1989.
V~ Phase I Records search and field survey
-- Phass II Testing [Evaluate resource signifioance; propose mitigation measures for 'significant" sitea.l
_ Phase III Mitigation [Date recovery by excavation, preservation in place, or a combination of the two.]
_ Phase IV Monitor earthmovlng activities
COMMENTS: The majority of the project area was examined in a non-systematic manner.
It is recommended that the project area be surveyed systematically.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
