LSA <br />If human remains are encountered at the project areas, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 <br />and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e)(1) state that no further disturbance shall occur to the <br />area of the find until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition of the <br />human bone pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find <br />immediately and shall make a determination within two working days of being notified. If the <br />remains are determined to be Native American, the County Coroner shall notify the NAHC by phone <br />within 24 hours, and the NAHC shall then immediately determine and notify a Most Likely <br />Descendant (MLD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the <br />MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection and make <br />recommendations or preferences for treatment of the remains within 48 hours of being granted <br />access to the site. The MLD's recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive <br />analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials, preservation of <br />Native American human remains and associated items in place, relinquishment of Native American <br />human remains and associated items to the descendants for treatment, or any other culturally <br />appropriate treatment. <br />If you have any questions concerning the content or intent of this letter, please contact me at <br />(949) 553-0666 or ivan.strudwick@lsa.net. <br />Sincerely, <br />LSA Associates, Inc. <br />Iv Strudwick, RPA <br />Ass ciate/Archaeologist <br />cc: Justin Jenson, Plant Manager, City of San Leandro <br />Lucas Paz, Principal Hydrologist, Terraphase Engineering, Inc. <br />Dan Sidle, Associate/Senior Biologist, LSA <br />Attachments: A: References <br />B: Survey Photographs <br />C: Results of Record Search: Confidential — Not for Public Distribution <br />D: Native American Consultation <br />1/7/21 aC:\Users\ivan\OneDrive - LSA Associates\Documents\7ER2001- San Leando WPCP\Report\202101-08 San Leandro WPCP Svy Rpt.docx» <br />
