A Sacred Lands File search. Remember that tribes do not always record their sacred sites in the <br /> Sacred Lands File, nor are they required to do so. A Sacred Lands File search is not a substitute for <br /> consultation with tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the <br /> project's APE. <br /> b. A Native American Tribal Consultation List of appropriate tribes for consultation concerning the <br /> project site and to assist in planning for avoidance, preservation in place,or,failing both, mitigation <br /> measures. <br /> 4. Remember that the lack of surface evidence of archaeological resources (including tribal cultural resources) <br /> does not preclude their subsurface existence. <br /> a.

In areas of identified archaeological sensitivity,a <br /> certified archaeologist and a culturally affiliated Native American with knowledge of cultural resources <br /> should monitor all ground-disturbing activities. <br /> b. Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting program plans provisions <br /> for the disposition of recovered cultural items that are not burial associated in consultation with culturally <br /> affiliated Native Americans. <br /> c. Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting program plans provisions <br /> for the treatment and disposition of inadvertently discovered Native American human remains. Health <br /> and Safety Code§7050.5, Public Resources Code§5097.98,and Cal.Code Regs.,tit. 14,§15064.5, <br /> subdivisions (d) and (e) (CEQA Guidelines§15064.5,subds.
