Hazelton Ave Stockton,CA 95201 Subject: Early Consultation for the General Plan Amendment and Zone Reclassification at 1026 East Mokelumne Street,Woodbridge Dear Alisa Goulart, Thank you for requesting information regarding the above referenced project. The United Auburn Indian Community(UAIC) of the Auburn Rancheria is comprised of Miwok and Southern Maidu(Nisenan) people whose tribal lands are within Placer County and whose service area includes El Dorado,Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter,and Yuba counties. The UAIC is concerned about development within its aboriginal territory that has potential to impact the lifeways, cultural sites, and landscapes that may be of sacred or ceremonial significance. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this and other projects. The UAIC would like to consult on this project. In order to ascertain whether the project could affect cultural resources that may be of importance to the UAIC,we would like to receive copies of any archaeological reports that are completed for the project. We also request copies of environmental documents for the proposed project so that we have the opportunity to comment on appropriate identification, assessment and mitigation related to cultural resources. Finally, we request and recommend that UAIC tribal representatives observe and participate in all cultural resource surveys. To assist in locating and identifying cultural resources,UAIC's Preservation Department offers a mapping, records and literature search services program. This program has been shown to assist project proponents in complying with applicable environmental protection laws and choosing the appropriate mitigation measures or form of environmental documentation during the planning process. If you are interested in the program,please let us know. The UAIC's Preservation Committee would like to set up a meeting or site visit, and begin consulting on the proposed project. Based on the Preservation Committee's identification of cultural resources in and around your project area,the UAIC recommends that a tribal monitor be present during any ground disturbing activities. Thank you again for taking these matters into consideration,and for involving the UAIC in the planning process. We look forward to reviewing the additional documents requested Please contact Anna M. Starkey, Cultural Regulatory Specialist, at(916)251-1565 or email at astarkey@auburnrancheria.com if you have any questions.
