Potentially Less Than Less Than Analyzed Si nificant Significant with Si nificant No In The 9 Mitigation 9 Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Prior EIR XVIII.TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES. a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe,and that is: i) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources,or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code ❑ ❑ ❑ ® ❑ section 5020.1(k),or ii) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. 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) This project has two components.The first is a General Plan designation change from I!f(Truck Terminal)to A/G (General Agriculture).The second is a Conditional Use Permit Application for an agricultural processing facility(Use Type: Industry-Agricultural)to include the construction of a 96,959 square foot two-story building. A referral was sent to the United Auburn Indian Community(UAIC), North Valley Yokuts Tribe,and the Buena Vista Rancheria for review related to potential Tribal Cultural Resources(TCR). If any suspected 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. The contractor shall implement any measures deemed by the lead agency to be necessary and feasible to preserve in place,avoid, or minimize impacts to the resource, including but not limited to, facilitating the appropriate tribal treatment of the find,as necessary.This has been incorporated into the project's Conditions of Approval. Additionally,if human remains are discovered during any ground disturbing activities,all work shall stop immediately in the vicinity (e.g. 100 feet) of the finds until they can be verified. The County Coroner shall be immediately contacted in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 7050.5(b). Protocol and requirements outlined in Health and Safety Code sections 7050.5(b)and 7050.5(c)as well as Public Resources Code section 5097.98 shall be followed. As a result of the Conditions of Approval for the discovery of TCRs and meeting the existing Health and Safety Code regulations,the impact to tribal cultural resources is anticipated to be less than significant. 24 Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-2100295 (GP, SA) 27 Environmental Review
