KLE/NFEL®ER Bright People.Right Solutions. Project development has the potential to unearth buried and/or previously undiscovered cultural resources. In this case, proper treatment of any resources encountered would be necessary to avoid significant environmental effects. The following mitigation measures would address this issue and reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. Level of Significance: Potentially significant Mitigation Measures: 1. The ODS shall make application for a demolition permit for existing residences located along the south side of Weber Avenue. The ODS shall abide by the decision of the Director of Community Development, including any conditions that may be imposed on the demolition permit. 2. If any subsurface cultural resources are encountered during construction of the project, all construction activities in the vicinity of the encounter shall be halted until a qualified archaeologist can examine these materials, make a determination of their significance and recommend mitigation measures. The City of Stockton Community Development Department shall be notified, and the ODS shall be responsible for implementing mitigation measures recommended by the archaeologist for any identified significant cultural resources, pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines. 3. If human remains are encountered at any time during the development of the project, all work in the vicinity of the find shall halt and the County Coroner and the Community Development Department shall be notified immediately. The Coroner must contact the Native American Heritage Commission if the remains have been identified as being of Native American descent. At the same time, the ODS shall retain a qualified archaeologist to evaluate the archaeological implications of the find and recommend any mitigation measures that may be required under CEQA; the ODS shall implement those recommendations. The CEQA Guidelines detail steps to be taken when human remains are found to be of Native American origin. Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant Implementation: The ODS will be responsible for reporting archeological or burial finds, for retaining an archaeologist to evaluate and make recommendations regarding archeological materials if encountered, and for implementing those regulations. Monitoring: If cultural resources are uncovered, the ODS shall be responsible for hiring an archaeologist to monitor compliance with archaeological mitigation 121339/ST011 8226 3-28 October 14, 2011 Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder
