Joseph,

By looking in my epsg file (which comes with the proj4 install, on my
freeBSD system: /usr/local/share/proj it looks like your shape file has
an EPSG code of 26942.(California Zone 2)  You can use the following
PROJECTION:

PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:26942"
END

For UNITS you would use "feet" not DD.

HTH.
