Abstract
"Proposed construction of a Price Costco store at the northeast corner of Wabash and Railroad Avenues in Eureka prompted the recovery and assessment of a portion of a historic dump located on the property. In recent years. ground-disturbing activities for road and building construction and the reestablishment of wetlands, known as the PALCO Marsh at the end of Del Norte Street, revealed the location of historic archaeological resources. The size of the dump area is unknown, but, at the least, it extends underneath and along both sides of Railroad Avenue from Del Norte Street northward to 14th Street and eastward along 14th to Broadway and includes a 16,600 square foot area south of the intersection of Del Norte and Railroad Avenue." This report includes information on the physical properties of the area as well as the history of who owned it and the different ways it has been used.
