EXHIBIT A
HELLMAN PROPERTY ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION
SCOPE OF WORK
RESEARCH DESIGN AND SITE SURVEY
MAY 2, 1997
The first task in the archaeological investigation for the Hellman property will be the preparation of
a Research Design and Site Survey. KEA Environmental, Inc. (KEA) will conduct this task in
conformance with the "Archaeological Element of the Seal Beach General Plan," the Hellman
property Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) mitigation measures, and California Office of
Historic Preservation guidelines. Because a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit will be
necessary for the project, KEA will conduct its work in accordance with regulations implementing
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as well as the CEQA guidelines. KEA will
undertake four subtasks in completing the Research Design and Site Survey.
Subtask la - Background Research and Site Survey
An intensive archaeological survey of the Hellman Ranch has recently been completed (Stickel
• 1996a). This work included close interval pedestrian examination of the ground - surface. The field
methods appear to be adequate by current professional standards and have been incorporated into the
Draft EIR. However, the Draft EIR raises questions regarding the site number designations
(trinomials) and the boundaries of sites in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). In order to address
these concerns, KEA will visit each previously recorded site that would be affected by the project.
In accordance with the EIR this would include the following seven sites: CA -ORA -260, 261, 262,
263, 264, 850, and 851). The field visit would be conducted by the Principal Investigator and the
Field Director. The goal would be to familiarize ourselves with field conditions at each site, verify
previous descriptions, assess the validity of site boundaries, and develop field sampling approaches
to be proposed in the Research Design.
Prior to conducting the site visits, KEA will obtain the site overlay maps prepared by SRS for the EIR
and Stickel's field data on surface shell density. KEA's field team will use these data in verifying the
accuracy of SRS' reconstruction of previous survey and testing efforts and in assessing the validity
of current site boundary determinations. KEA will also use these data and other existing information
15

Archaeological Investigation Agreement —

in attempting to verify previously excavated trench locations. Should site boundaries appear to need
modification, KEA will discuss the situation with representatives of the City and take this into
account in developing the sampling program for the test phase. The appropriate time to prepare new
maps of site boundaries would be after completion of the testing program.
Also prior to the site visits, KEA will examine previous collections from the project sites and from
the Bolsa Chica and Bixby Hill collections as required by mitigation measures in the EIR. Similarities
and differences in assemblage composition relevant to regional research questions will be noted and
discussed in the Research Design.
Subtask lb - Native American Coordination
In conjunction with preparing the research design, the KEA team will consult closely with Native
American groups with heritage concerns for the project area. We understand that representative of
the Gabrielino and Juaneno groups have expressed concerns regarding cultural resources in the
project area. In addition, Luiseno groups may express concerns as well. The goals of this effort will
be to establish and maintain communication on cultural resource issues. We will gather information
on Native American concerns and establish a program for ongoing Native American participation in
the archaeological program.
The contact program will be initiated by contacting the Native American Heritage Commission
regarding groups that may be interested and most likely descendants. We will also review previous
project documentation and our in -house files. Based on this information, a Native American mailing
list will be prepared for City approval. We will also prepare an initial contact letter for approval.
Following approval, we will send the contact letter to interested groups and conduct follow -up phone
calls to discuss the project and any potential concerns they may have. These contacts will
documented in the Research Design.
Because there is evidence that Native American burials and other highly sensitive resources may be
present, we expect that treatment of human burial remains will be a very important topic. In the past
we have found formal pre- excavation agreements helpful in planning for the contingencies that may
occur with respect to human burials and other items of cultural patrimony. We have included the
preparation of a review draft of such an agreement in the Research Design task. The actual
negotiation and finalization of this document would be done during the subsequent Testing/
Evaluation task.

The research design will draw on and substantially supplement previously prepared research designs
for the Hellman property. In conformance with applicable regulations and guidelines, KEA will
prepare a research design that will meet the following goals:
1. Lay out "important" research questions that the sites in question may have a reasonable
expectation to address.
2. Explain why these research questions are indeed important by reviewing the regional literature
and discussing existing data in the context of an interpretive framework.
3. State what sorts of data would have to be found at the sites in question in order for them to
cross the threshold of significance. In other words, indicate what quality and quantity of data
would be necessary to address the stated research questions. The testing program does not
actually attempt to answer all of the research questions, but rather to determine whether the
sites have the ability to add substantial information in answering the questions.
4. Lay out a field program to determine site parameters including horizontal and vertical extent,
site chronology, relevant formation processes, and data content. This is usually accomplished
through surface observation/collection and subsurface testing. The latter may include small
exploratory units such as shovel test probes, augers, and surface scrapes and larger sampling
units such as 1 x 2 meter, 1 x 1 meter, or 1 x 0.5 meter units for assemblage sampling and
feature delineation.
5. Assess the integrity of each site. For archaeological sites, we need to estimate how much
natural and man -made disturbance has disrupted the horizontal and vertical associations of
the archaeological materials.
6. Propose sufficient laboratory analyses to assess the data content. Artifact identification,
classification, and comparison, chronometric investigations such as C -14 dating and obsidian
hydration, and ecofact identifications will probably be proposed.
7. Discuss how the data are to be presented in the final report.
8. Include consideration of cultural as well as scientific factors in the significance evaluation.
For example, determine whether Native American groups place traditional or heritage values
in the sites.
A draft research design will be prepared for City review. Following receipt of City comments, a final
research design will be prepared for public and agency review.

Subtask ld - Project Management and Meetings
KEA will coordinate closely with the City's representative and Archaeological Advisory Committee.
We will prepare monthly progress reports to be submitted with our invoices. KEA understands that
a kick -off meeting and three additional meetings will be necessary during the Research Design task.
We assume that the project manager will attend all of these meetings and that the ethnographic
consultant may be needed at two meetings.
Schedule
KEA will submit the draft research design within 45 calendar days after receiving a notice to proceed.
KEA will submit the final research design within 15 days after receiving the City's comments on the
draft.
