Less Than Significant Impact. Impacts to archaeological resources are not anticipated because the entire Site has been previously disturbed. However, it is possible that buried or otherwise previously unobserved resources may be discovered during excavation. The RAP requires that, if previously unidentified archaeological resources are discovered during excavation, the project sponsor is required to cease work in the immediate area until a qualified archaeologist and the County of San Joaquin can assess the significance of the find and make conservation recommendations, if warranted (OHP 1995 and CNAHC 2003). To achieve this goal, the contractor shall instruct excavation personnel about the need for proper and timely reporting of such finds, and the consequence of any failure to report them. The implementation of this conservation measure would reduce the impacts associated with archaeological resources to a less-than-significant level. This process has been integrated into the overall project plan. C. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. Less Than Significant Impact. As the entire Site has been previously disturbed, impacts to significant paleontological resources are not anticipated. However, it is possible that buried or otherwise previously unobserved resources may be discovered during excavation. The RAP requires that, if previously unidentified paleontological resources are discovered during excavation, the project sponsor is required to cease work in the immediate area until such time as a qualified paleontologist and the County of San Joaquin can assess the significance of the find and make conservation recommendations. To achieve this goal, the contractor shall instruct excavation personnel to understand the need for proper and timely reporting of such finds, and the consequence of any failure to report them. The implementation of this conservation measure would reduce the impacts associated with paleontological resources to a less-than-significant level. d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. No Impact. As the entire Site has been previously disturbed, impacts to human remains are not anticipated. However, it is possible that such remains may be discovered during excavation. However, as part of conservation measures incorporated into the project description, the project sponsor would designate a qualified person to monitor areas of foundation excavations for the presence of human remains. If human remains are encountered, the County Coroner will be contacted. If the Coroner determines that the remains are Native American, then local Native American organizations will be consulted.
