4 Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.G-3 Forward Inc.Landfill 2014 Expansion Project w (c) The project sponsor shall allow only a qualified archaeologist, and a Native American monitor to collect any prehistoric cultural resources (except L human remains and burial associated grave goods) discovered on the site. (d) If prehistoric archaeological deposits that include human remains are discovered by the project sponsor, archaeologist, af4 Native American �' monitor, and any construction contractors during development of the project site, the project sponsor shall along with the archaeologist and Native American monitor to notify the County Coroner immediately and not allow the removal of human remains until it is determined by the Coroner if the remains are Native American. If the remains are found to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission shall be notified ` within 24 hours. The most likely descendant (MLD) of the deceased Native American shall be notified and given the chance to make recommendations for the remains. If no recommendations are made within 24 hours, remains may be reinterred elsewhere on the property. If recommendations are made and not accepted, during the mediation period, the Native American Heritage Commission shall mediate the issue and the Human Remains shall remain in the possession of the MLD. E.Visual Quality The currently proposed Project eliminates the large mound of waste previously ,. proposed for the Brocchini property. However, it would continue to include the creek relocation, expand the existing landfill mound to the south, and add additional bulk to the northeastern landfill mass. It also would replace the existing composting facility y10 with a landfill mound. The potential for off-site litter generation would continue, although over a shorter landfill life compared to the 2013 Project. Therefore, 2013 EIR's Impacts K-1 through K-7 would continue to apply to the currently proposed Project. All measures identified in the 2013 EIR as Proposed as Part of the Project would be included in the current Project. Therefore impacts to visual quality from the 2014 Expansion Project would be similar to those described in the 2013 EIR. Visual impacts associated 'F with the increased landfill mass would continue to be significant and unavoidable. All �• other visual impacts would be less than significant with implementation of measures proposed as part of the Project identified in the 2013 EIR. 'low F. Growth Inducement The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15125(g)) require that an EIR evaluate the growth- inducing impacts of a proposed action. A growth-inducing impact is defined by the 1. Guidelines as "the way in which a proposed project could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. Included in this definition are public works projects which remove obstacles to population growth." The environmental effects of induced growth are secondary, or indirect, impacts of the i proposed action. Secondary effects of growth include increased demand on community L. services and infrastructure, increased traffic and noise, and conversion of agricultural and open space to development use. Inducement of disorderly growth that is inconsistent with local land use plans generally causes significant environmental impacts. L
