2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLLST <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Lrwact Incorporation Impact Impact <br />V. CULTURAL RESOURCES -- Would the project: <br />a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the <br /> significance of a historical resource as defined in <br /> § 15064.5? <br />b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the <br /> significance of a unique archaeological resource <br /> pursuant to § 15064.5? <br />c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique <br /> paleontological resource or site or unique <br /> geological feature? <br />d) Disturb any hunnan remains, including those <br /> interred outside of formal cemeteries? <br />DISCUSSION <br />a,b) A records search of all pertinent survey and site data wa`s conducted at the Northwest Information <br />Center at Sonoma State University. The records were accessed by utilizing the San Leandro <br />USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle map, Township 3 South, Range 3 West, in Alameda County. The <br />review encompassed the Project area and a 1,000-foot Area of Potential Effect (APE) buffer. <br />Previous surveys and studies and archaeological site records were examined as they pertained to <br />the APE. In addition, the following resources were examined: Directory of Properties in the <br />Historic Property Data File (pages for the City), the National Register of Historic Places, the <br />California Register of Historic Resources, the California Inventory of Historic Resources, the <br />California Historical Landmarks, and Historic-period maps (1857 GLO Rancho San Antonio <br />[Peralta]). Afield reconnaissance of the proposed alignment was also conducted by William Self <br />Associates, Inc. <br />The records and information search indicated that no archaeological or historical resources have <br />been previously identified within the footprint of the alignment or recorded within t/a mile of the <br />Project area. Segments of the alignment have been surveyed before (see Table 2-2}; the surveys <br />were negative, indicating that no archaeological sites were identified in the Project area. <br />Survey Findings <br />Ground visibility within the Project area varied from good to very poor depending on the <br />vegetation and ground cover. Paved roads and park lawns offered no ground visibility, while the <br />best ground visibility was afforded by bare areas next to sloughs. No evidence of archaeological <br />resources was observed during the field survey, nor were any extant historical resources observed <br />in the Project area. No evidence of prehistoric or historic artifacts or features was observed <br />within or immediately adjoining the Project APE. <br />San Leandro RecyGcd Water Project 2-19 FSA / 203193 <br />Draft IS/IvIND <br />
