CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: <br />a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the <br />significance of a historical resource as defined in <br />Section 15064.5? <br /> <br />b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the <br />significance of an archaeological resource <br />pursuant to Section 15064.5? <br /> <br />c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique <br />paleontological resource or site or unique <br />geologic feature? <br /> <br />d) Disturb any human remains, including those <br />interred outside of formal cemeteries? <br />The setting and impact analysis in this subsection is based on several resources, including a records <br />search conducted at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC), map review, historical society <br />consultation, field survey, and California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) cultural resources evaluations. Michael Baker International (2018) prepared a cultural resources <br />evaluation memo for the project, which is provided in Appendix CUL, with the results summarized <br />throughout this section. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br />CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGY FOR IDENTIFICATION OF CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />Cultural resources include historical resources and archaeological resources (as defined in Public <br />Resources Code Section 15064.5). Cultural resources are any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or <br />significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, <br />political, military, or cultural annals of California. Generally, a resource is considered by the lead <br />agency to be historically significant if the resource meets the criteria for listing in the California Register (California Code of Regulations Title 14[3] Section 15064.5[a][3]). <br />CULTURAL RESOURCES IDENTIFICATION EFFORTS <br />Northwest Information Center Records Search <br />Michael Baker staff completed a records search of the project site and a quarter-mile search radius at the NWIC. The records search (File No. 18-0235) was conducted on August 2, 2018. The <br />NWIC, as part of the California Historical Resources Information System, California State University, <br />Sonoma, an affiliate of the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), is the official state repository of cultural resource records and reports for Alameda County. No cultural resources or <br />cultural resources reports were identified on the project site. One cultural resource and cultural <br />resources study was identified in the search radius as discussed in Appendix CUL.
