Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project purposes of Chapter 905 of the Statutes of 2004."This includes both federally and non-federally recognized tribes. Section 21074(a) of the Public Resource Code defines TCRs for the purpose of CEQA as: 7) Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes (geographically defined in terms of the size and scope), sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either of the following: a. included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources; and/or, b. included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1; and/or, C. 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 Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1 for the purposes of this paragraph, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. Because criteria a and b also meet the definition of a Historical Resource under CEQA, a TCR may also require additional consideration as a Historical Resource.TCRs may or may not exhibit archaeological, cultural, or physical indicators. Recognizing that California tribes are experts in their tribal cultural resources and heritage, AB 52 requires that CEQA lead agencies provide tribes that requested notification an opportunity to consult at the commencement of the CEQA process to identify TCRs. Furthermore, because a significant effect on a TCR is considered a significant impact on the environment under CEQA, consultation is used to develop appropriate avoidance, impact minimization, and mitigation measures. In accordance with Section 21082.3(c)(1) of the PRC, "... information, including, but not limited to, the location, description, and use of the tribal cultural resources, that is submitted by a California Native American tribe during the environmental review process shall not be included in the environmental document or otherwise disclosed by the lead agency or any other public agency to the public, consistent with subdivision (r) of Section 6254 of, and Section 6254.10 of, the Government Code, and subdivision (d) of Section 15120 of Title 14 of the CCR, without the prior consent of the tribe that provided the information."Therefore, the details of tribal consultation summarized herein are provided in a confidential administrative record and not available for public disclosure without written permission from the tribes. 4.20.2.3 Local San Joaquin County General Plan Policy Document The 2035 County of San Joaquin General Plan emphasizes the importance of cultural and historic resources in the County.The County is committed to ensuring that development occurs in a manner that limits impacts to natural and cultural resources and will avoid development in areas in naturally and culturally sensitive areas whenever possible, especially in the Delta.
