Page 62 of 65 Optional Task 11.O Cultural Resources CHRIS Search. As an Optional Task MIG would commission a records search for cultural resources through the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) at Sonoma State University, which will include a review of all previously recorded cultural resource studies, including archaeological and historical resources in and within a half-mile radius of the Specific Plan area. This new records search would update the one conducted for the 2017 Specific Plan EIR. Results of the NWIC record searches will indicate whether there are new recorded archaeological or historic resources in the Plan area not analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR that require recordation, evaluation, and inclusion in the Supplemental EIR impact analysis. The results will also provide a basis for assessing the sensitivity of the Plan area for buried (prehistoric and historic) resources. For the purposes of the SEIR, MIG also will commission a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search through the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and send out letters to Native American tribes or individuals identified by the NAHC as having affiliation with the Specific Plan area and vicinity to notify of the proposed Development Plan and seek information on any known tribal resources that may not be in the NAHC database. Additionally, MIG will assist the City with compliance with the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 18 by preparing one letter to identify tribes that meet both SB 18 and CEQA notification requirements. The notification and scoping will be in the form of a letter that describes the Specific Plan area and the nature of the Specific Plan, and that requests for information regarding additional prehistoric or Native American tribal cultural resources, properties, or archaeological sites that may be impacted by the Specific Plan Update. Tribal notification will be performed under the guidance and direction of the City of San Leandro and will comprise the following process: ● Prepare tribal notification letter(s); ● Mail and document tribal notification letter(s); ● Create and update (as needed) SB 18 compliance checklist; ● Compile the administrative record that documents SB 18 compliance. This process does not include AB 52 tribal consultation should the city receive a request from a tribe for consultation under the requirements of AB 52. It is assumed that the lead agency will facilitate any government-to-government meetings between the City and tribal representatives to discuss tribal cultural resources and Native American cultural resources, potential impacts to those resources, and, if necessary, mitigations. MIG will document the information for inclusion in the administrative record. 11.2. CEQA Noticing and Notice of Preparation. MIG would prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) to identify the CEQA topics that would be evaluated in the Supplemental EIR, based on both the certified 2017 Specific Plan EIR and CEQA Guidelines Appendix G (Environmental Checklist Form). A CEQA Initial Study environmental checklist will not be attached to the NOP because: (1) the Supplemental EIR will be formatted with a one-to-one correspondence to the Specific Plan EIR chapters in order to Docusign Envelope ID: 885601F4-01B5-4FAB-A341-08EBC29876AA
