Impact Mitigation Measure(s) Residual Impact <br />CRHR. Phase 2 evaluation shall include any necessary archival research to identify <br />significant historical associations as well as mapping of surface artifacts, collection of <br />functionally or temporally diagnostic tools and debris, and excavation of a sample of <br />the cultural deposit to characterize the nature of the sites, define the artifact and <br />feature contents, determine horizontal boundaries and depth below surface, and <br />retrieve representative samples of artifacts and other remains. <br />Excavation at Native American sites shall be monitored by a geographically affiliated <br />tribal representative. as agreed upon in any formal consultation proceedings with the <br />geographically affiliated tribe or as indicated by the NAHC. Cultural materials <br />collected from the sites shall be processed and analyzed in the laboratory according <br />to standard archaeological procedures. The age of the remains shall be determined <br />using radiocarbon dating and other appropriate procedures; lithic artifacts, faunal <br />remains, and other cultural materials shall be identified and analyzed according to <br />current professional standards. The significance of the sites shall be evaluated <br />according to the criteria of the CRHR. The results of the investigations shall be <br />presented in a technical report following the standards of the California Office of <br />Historic Preservation publication “Archaeological Resource Management Reports: <br />Recommended Content and Format (1990 or latest edition)” <br />(http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/pages/1054/files/armr.pdf). Upon completion of the work, <br />all artifacts, other cultural remains, records, photographs, and other documentation <br />shall be curated an appropriate curation facility. All fieldwork, analysis, report <br />production, and curation shall be fully funded by the applicant. <br />If the resources meet CRHR significance standards, the City shall ensure that all <br />feasible recommendations for mitigation of archaeological impacts are incorporated <br />into the final design and permits issued for development. Necessary data recovery <br />excavation shall be carried out by a qualified archaeologist meeting the SOI <br />standards for archaeology according to a research design reviewed and approved by <br />the City prepared in advance of fieldwork and using appropriate archaeological field <br />and laboratory methods consistent with the California Office of Historic Preservation <br />Planning Bulletin 5 (1991), Guidelines for Archaeological Research Design, or the <br />latest edition thereof. <br />As applicable, the final Phase 1 Inventory, Phase 2 Testing and Evaluation, or Phase 3 <br />Data Recovery reports shall be submitted to the City prior to issuance of construction <br />permit. Recommendations contained therein shall be implemented throughout all <br />ground disturbance activities. <br />Impact CR-2. Ground-disturbing activities associated with <br />development facilitated by the proposed Specific Plan could result <br />in damage to or destruction of paleontological resources. Impacts <br />would be less than significant with mitigation. <br />MM CR-3 Paleontological Resources Assessment <br />For projects in the Specific Plan Area that would involve ground disturbance below <br />five feet in undisturbed sediments, the City shall require a paleontological <br />assessment, and avoidance and/or mitigation for potential impacts to <br />paleontological resources. Specific requirements include: <br /> <br />78
