MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD' 'PROJECT INITIAL STUDY <br /> O. CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> The Final EIR for the Master Plan and Specific Plan 1 required additional site specific surveys of the Old <br /> River industrial area and Mountain House Creek based on findings from earlier,more preliminary surveys. <br /> The results of these surveys in 1997 confirmed that there were no significant prehistoric or historic <br /> resources within the boundaries of Specific Plan I. This project would be entirely within the boundaries of <br /> Specific Plan 1. New water and wastewater lines would be constructed in the vicinity of Mountain House <br /> Creek and originally were thought to require monitoring by an archaeologist during construction of such <br /> lines(as described in Finding L.1 for the Findings on the 1994 EIR [page 33]). This monitoring was <br /> recommended because of the possibility that a buried site, Ca-Sjo-136,may be located in the vicinity of <br /> the creek. However, further analysis concluded that the location of the buried site may have been incorrect <br /> and that the standard mitigation measure regarding findings, as described below, during construction <br /> would be adequate(Peak and Associates, Inc., 1997). <br /> Environmental Checklist <br /> Potentially <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Unless Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> impact Incurpurateu impact impact <br /> CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: <br /> a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a <br /> historical resource as defined in § 15064.5? <br /> b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an <br /> archaeological resource pursuant to§ 15064.5? <br /> c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or <br /> site or unique geologic feature? <br /> d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of <br /> formal cemeteries? <br /> Environmental Checklist Explanations <br /> a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5? <br /> No historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5 would be significantly impacted by the project. <br /> Cultural Resources Studies were completed for the project site in 1997. <br /> b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to§ 15064.5? <br /> No known archaeological resources would be impacted at the project site. However, unknown <br /> archaeological resources could be impacted during construction. Given the requirements of the County's <br /> Development Title, this potential impact would be less than significant. <br /> CUOMMMMAL snmY\RNAL[NrnALSRIDY-PART2.DOC(7120100) 116 V.O.CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />
