Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.H-2 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project part of this SEIR(Solan Archaeological Services [SAS],August 28,2018). This evaluation included a records search, field survey, and consultation with local tribal representatives. As with the 2014 project,the 2018 Expansion Project still has the potential to affect ' unknown cultural resources in the area to the south of the current landfill footprint.The currently proposed Project eliminates the potential for impacts to cultural resources on the Brocchini property. The records search at the CCIC was negative for cultural resources within a half mile radius of the project area.The NAHC SLF search,however, identified a Sacred land in the project area that was later defined by Ms. Kathy Perez of the Northern Valley Yokuts ' Tribe to be an unrecorded prehistoric habitation site situated approximately at the location of the proposed southern landfill expansion site, and possibly along the proposed site of the Littlejohns Creek South Fork realignment. During survey no cultural materials were identified,but observation of actual native soil was greatly limited by factors such as vegetation and compost spreading. The project area is also located in close proximity to Littlejohns Creek South Fork. Past Native Americans commonly inhabited the banks of such waterways to exploit the natural resources typically abundant in such areas. Given the site's location with respect to the creek channel, and the input from Ms. Perez that an unrecorded habitation site existed on the southern project site, it is possible that unknown cultural resources may be encountered during project excavation. Therefore,Impact J.1 from the 2013 EIR would continue to apply to the current Project. In 2014, representatives of the Yokuts tribe reviewed the previous Mitigation J.1 and recommended some minor changes to that measure. In addition, the 2018 Cultural Resources Evaluation further strengthened to the 2014 EIR's mitigation. All of these changes are shown in underline and strikethrough below: Mitigation J.1:An archaeological monitor and a Native American monitor shall be retained to observe project-related ground disturbing activities in order to identify potentially buried resources. In the event that any of the archaeological site indicators described above are found,work should be halted within a zone established by the project archaeologist and Native American monitor until a plan for the evaluation of the resource under CEQA guidelines has been submitted to the appropriate permitting agency for approval. If any potential cultural resources are encountered during any ground disturbing activities, the following measures shall be implemented: (a). If prehistoric archaeological resources are discovered during excavation and ' construction of the proposed project, the project sponsor along with a qualified archaeologist and Native American monitor shall suspend all work in the immediate vicinity of the find pending site investigation by a qualified archaeologist and a Native American monitor to assess the materials and determine their significance. If the qualified archaeologist and Native American monitor determine that the find has the
