In applying the criteria set forth ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. Impact Discussion: a) The proposed applications are for a General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification. A referral was sent to the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC), North Valley Yokuts Tribe, the California Valley Miwok Tribe, and the Buena Vista Rancheria for review. The UAIC sent a response letter dated March 11, 2021, which stated that the project area was culturally sensitive and has the potential for the presence of Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR). UAIC requested a consultation under AB 52, and the following mitigation was proposed for any subsequent commercial development projects: A Tribal Cultural Resource Awareness brochure shall be provided to all construction personnel, and a training shall be developed in coordination with interested Native American Tribes for all personnel involved in the project implementation. A minimum of seven (7) days prior to the beginning of earthwork or other soil disturbing activities, the applicant shall notify the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC) with the proposed earthwork start -date and a UAIC Tribal Representative or Tribal Monitor shall be invited to inspect the project site, including any soil piles, trenches, or other disturbed areas, within the first five (5) days of groundbreaking activity, or as appropriate for the type and size of the project. If any suspected Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) are discovered during ground disturbing construction activities, all work shall cease within 100 feet of the find. A Tribal Representative from culturally affiliated tribes shall be immediately notified and shall determine if the find is a TCR pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21074. The Tribal Representative will make recommendations regarding the treatment of the discovery. Preservation in place is the preferred alternative under CEQA and UAIC protocols, and every effort must be made to preserve the resources in place, including through project redesign. Work at the discovery location cannot resume until all necessary investigation and evaluation of the discovery under the requirements of CEQA, including AB 52, has been satisfied.
