STATE C. -CALIFORNIA PETE WILSON, Governor <br /> NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE COMMISSION <br /> 915 CAPITOL MALL, ROOM 288 cz <br /> SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 <br /> ,16) � <br /> February 20, 1991 1.9 <br /> Ms. Kerry Sullivan <br /> Community Development Department <br /> San Joaquin County Y <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue V" <br /> Stockton, California 95205 <br /> re: SCH# 91 01 21 03-Buckeye Ranch <br /> Dear Ms. Sullivan: <br /> The Native American Heritage Commission has responded to reports of Native <br /> American cultural resources, including burials, being impacted by both development <br /> and through vandalism, in the greater Jahant Slough region. San Joaquin County has <br /> been one of the most active in the discovery of previously undetected archeological <br /> resources. <br /> In a multi-use facility as described in the Buckeye Ranch document, the <br /> inadvertent discovery of previously undetected cultural resources has been <br /> recognized and addressed. One recommendation would be to use the language <br /> found in CEQA, Appendix K, in future documents on the project. <br /> The California Environmental Quality Act provides directions in the event <br /> archeological resources are discovered during any phase of development. Use of the <br /> guidelines provided helps to eliminate confusion and costly delays, and provides more <br /> adequate protection of such cultural resources. The procedure to follow in the event <br /> human skeletal remains are discovered is included as well. The Native American <br /> Heritage Commission has prepared a brochure which simplifies the steps which shall <br /> be followed, the parties involved and the time frame which shall be adhered to when <br /> human remains are discovered anywhere outside of a dedicated cemetery. I have <br /> included a copy of this brochure for your study and use. <br /> If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact this <br /> office at any time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i) <br /> William Anthony 4ol <br /> Associate Analyst <br /> enclosure <br /> cc: John Keene, OPR / SCH <br />
