Hazelton Ave <br /> Stockton, CA 95201 <br /> RE: AB 52 Consultation for the North Bezley Road Storage Facility(PA-1900201 (SA)) Project <br /> Dear Project Planner Giuseppe Sanfilippo, <br /> The United Auburn Indian Community(UAIC) received a letter from the County of San Joaquin <br /> dated 9/18/2019, formally notifying us of a proposed project, the North Bezley Road Storage <br /> Facility(PA-1900201 (SA)) Project in Clements, and an opportunity to consult under AB 52. <br /> Our records indicate that there are no known tribal cultural resources in the proposed project <br /> area; therefore, UAIC does not wish to initiate consultation under AB 52 at this time. Should the <br /> project change in material ways, we request to be informed of those changes so that we may <br /> reassess the need to initiate consultation. We ask that this letter be made part of the project <br /> record. <br /> While we do not wish to consult at this time, we would like to receive copies of the drafted or <br /> completed environmental technical documents completed for the project, including <br /> archaeological reports or cultural resource assessments, with the results of the records searches, <br /> so that we have the opportunity to comment on potential impacts and proposed mitigation <br /> measures related to tribal cultural resources. <br /> Finally,please contact us if you discover any tribal and/or cultural resources within the project <br /> area. If tribal cultural resources are identified, it is UAIC's policy to preserve tribal and cultural <br /> resources in place and avoid them whenever possible, and have a tribal monitor present during <br /> any ground disturbing activities. Subsurface testing and data recovery must not occur without <br /> first consulting with UAIC and receiving UAIC's written consent. <br /> Thank you again for taking these matters into consideration, and for involving the UAIC in the <br /> planning process. We look forward to reviewing the additional documents requested. Please <br /> contact Anna M. Starkey, Cultural Regulatory Specialist, at(916) 251-1565 or email at <br /> astarkey@auburnrancheria.com if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i" <br /> Gene Whitehouse, <br /> Chairman <br /> CC: Matthew Moore, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer <br /> Tribal Office 10720 Indian Hill Road Auburn, CA 95603 (530)883-2390 FAX(530)883-2380 <br />
