If the remains are found to be Native American, the <br /> Native American Heritage Commission will be notified with 24 hours. The <br /> most likely descendant of the deceased Native American will be notified <br /> and given the chance to make recommendations for the remains. If no <br /> recommendations are made within 24 hours, remains may be reinterred <br /> elsewhere on the property. If recommendations are made and not <br /> accepted, the Native American Heritage Commission will mediate the <br /> issue. <br /> If avoidance of important prehistoric archaeological resources is not <br /> feasible, the project sponsor will prepare an excavation plan in <br /> coordination with a qualified archaeologist or cultural resources consultant. <br /> The resources will not be disturbed until this plan is completed. An <br /> excavation plan will consist of the methodical excavation of those portions <br /> of the site(s) that would be adversely affected. The work will be <br /> accomplished within the context of a detailed research design and in <br /> accordance with current professional standards. The plan must result in <br /> the extraction of sufficient volumes of non-redundant archaeological data <br /> so as to address important regional research considerations, must be <br /> prepared and performed by qualified professionals, must be consistent <br /> with the guidelines of the Native American Heritage Commission, and <br /> must result in detailed technical reports. <br /> Current Status: Archaeological resources have not been discovered to date <br /> during excavation and construction at the site. <br /> (VISUAL QUALITY) <br /> (16) 83 (K.3) <br /> Proposed as Part of the Project: <br /> Native or drought-tolerant trees, shrubs, and grasses will be used in <br /> landscaping to conform to the natural vegetation of the area. <br /> Working faces of the landfill will be minimized to reduce their visibility. <br /> To the extent feasible, the top and side slopes of the landfill will be seeded <br /> with a mixture of native grasses and wildflowers that would visually blend <br /> with plants at the project site. <br /> Dense screening vegetation will be planted along the Austin Road <br /> boundary of the site, with sufficient height and density at maturity-to-shield <br /> residents and motorists along Austin- Road from views of landfill <br /> operations, including nighttime disposal-operations.
