...~ ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST step procedure described in detail in the regulations implementing Section 106 of the NHPA (36 CFR Part 800): ^ Identify and evaluate historic properties in consultation with the SHPO and interested parties; ^ Assess the effects of the undertaking on properties that are eligible for inclusion in the NRHP; ^ Consult with the SHPO, other agencies, and interested parties to develop an agreement that addresses the treatment of historic properties and notify the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; ^ Proceed with the Project according to the conditions of the agreement. An archaeological inventory report, Archeological Assessment of the Proposed San Leandro Recycled Water Master Plan, San Leandro, Alameda County, California (William Self Associates, Inc., 2004) that addressed the above issues was prepared and submitted to the SWRCB. ` c) The Project site contains artificial fill material, especially in areas of development. Moreover, the surrounding bay marsh system consists of mostly bay mud materials and some recent alluvium of stream channel, stream overflow, and alluvial fan deposits. Given the relatively young geomorphic characteristics of this area, the probability of encountering paleontological resources is substantially reduced. This notwithstanding, significant fossil discoveries can be made even in areas -designated as having low potential, and may result from the excavation activities related to the Project. This impact would be reduced to ales-than-significant level with the incorporation of Measure CR-2. d) No human remains have been identified in the Project vicinity; however, the subsurface excavation required for construction of the Project could potentially disturb or destroy previously unknown and buried human remains from both prehistoric and historic time periods. This is considered a potentially significant impact that would be reduced to ales-than-significant level by implementation of Measure CR-3. MITIGATION MEAS URES Measure CR-1: In the event that any prehistoric or historic subsurface cultural resources are discovered during ground disturbing activities, all work within 50 feet of the resources shall be halted and the City shall consult with a qualified archaeologist to assess the significance of the find. If any find is determined to be significant, representatives of the City and the qualified azchaeologist would meet to determine the appropriate course of action. All significant cultural materials recovered shall be subject to scientific analysis, professional museum curation, and a report prepared by the qualified archaeologist according to current professional standards. Measure CR-2: The Project proponent shall notify a qualified paleontologist of unanticipated discoveries, made be either the cultural resources monitor ar construction personnel and subsequently document the discovery as needed. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of a brews, true, and/or trace fossil during construction, excavation within 50 feet of the find shall be temporarily halted or diverted until the discovery is examined by a qualified paleontologist.
