Tribal Cultural Resources. The proposed Agreement will not have any impact on tribal cultural resources, and will not change the impacts identified in the City’s CEQA documents.
Tribal Cultural Resources. As a result of archival review, field survey, distribution of nearby archaeological sites, and the geologic and environmental setting, the archaeological sensitivity of the project site is considered low. While unlikely, given the general sensitivity of the project vicinity, the inadvertent discovery of redeposited archaeological resources cannot be entirely discounted, including in areas of artificial fill. Impacts to archaeological resources would be potentially significant. In the event that archaeological resources are encountered during ground disturbing activities, Mitigation Measure CUL-1, Inadvertent Discovery of Archaeological Resource, will reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. If prehistoric or historic-era archaeological resources are encountered by construction personnel during project implementation, all construction activities within 100 feet shall halt until a qualified archaeologist, defined as one meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology, can assess the significance of the find. There is no indication that the project site has been used for burial purposes in the recent or distant past. While unlikely, the inadvertent discovery of redeposited human remains cannot be entirely discounted, including in areas of artificial fill. Impacts to human remains would be potentially significant. In the event that human remains are encountered during ground disturbing activities, Mitigation Measure CUL-2, Inadvertent Discovery of Human Remains, will reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. Noise Noise Reduction Techniques for Equipment Used in Nighttime Construction Activity will reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. With mitigation, project construction will not result in the generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. Therefore, construction-related impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. There will be no permanent project components added to the environment with the ability to produce noise. Therefore, no operational impact would occur. Less than Significant with Mitigation. As described in the preceding sections, the project has the potential to cause significant impacts related to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, tribal cu...
Tribal Cultural Resources. 3.2.19 Utilities and Service Systems (CEQA) and Energy and Utilities (TRPA) • 3.2.20 Wildfires
Tribal Cultural Resources. Consultant shall base the section on the results of AB 52 Tribal Consultation between the City agency and any consulting Tribes. Consultant shall include ethnographic and tribal cultural contexts for the Project region and document the consultation efforts with the Tribes for identification efforts of Tribal Cultural Resources under AB 52.
Tribal Cultural Resources. Consultant will request a search of the Sacred Lands File be conducted by the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in order to identify any areas of Native American heritage significance under SB 18. Using the City’s California Native American tribal contacts list, Consultant will draft AB 52 letters for use by the City. Should a request for consultation be received, the City will be required to enter into a consultation process. The City should anticipate a request for consultation by one or more Native American tribes. Under AB 52, tribal representatives have 30 days to request consultation. Under SB 18, tribal representatives have 90 days to request consultation. The result of the City’s communication will be addressed in the Initial Study. Participation is one conference call meeting is assumed.
Tribal Cultural Resources. General information on cultural resources, historical sites and landmarks will be compiled and reported in this section. No fieldwork is anticipated. County Staff will provide a consultation request to the tribes with ancestral territory over the provide area consistent with AB52 protocol. (County will conduct the AB52 consultation.)
Tribal Cultural Resources. The Section 106 report prepared by Ascent will be relied upon to provide the basis for setting and impact information in the EIR/EIS related to tribal cultural resources. Potentially significant direct and indirect impacts on tribal cultural resources that could result from implementation of the project will be described. Feasible and practical mitigation measures that would minimize or eliminate potential adverse impacts on cultural resources will be provided. It is assumed that tribal cultural resource consultation, as required by SB 18 and AB 52, will be conducted by the Town (as recommended under SB 18 and AB 52 guidance), and Ascent will assist the Town as described above under Task 4.4.
Tribal Cultural Resources. The United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC) contacted the County on February 26, 2019 requesting formal notification and information on proposed projects for which the County will serve as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act. On February 26, 2019, Yuba County provided formal notification to UAIC, including project information and Cultural Resources Investigation. Following the provision of information to UAIC, Yuba County has not received any request for Consultation from the UAIC. Thus, the County concluded that the UAIC does not want to consult on this project. In addition to mitigation measures proposed under Cultural Resources, mitigation measures include ceasing excavation or disturbance of the site in the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of tribal cultural resources in an area subject to development activity, and contacting the Native American Heritage Commission as well as the UAIC within 24 hours.
Tribal Cultural Resources. The proposed Agreement will a have less than significant on tribal cultural resources, and will not change the impacts identified in the SMWD CEQA documents.
Tribal Cultural Resources. Utilities and Service Systems All project impacts will be compared to established thresholds of significance and will be quantified as appropriate and feasible. Air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions and associated health risks will be modeled using industry standard methodologies. The tribal cultural resources analysis will include compliance with the requirements of SB 18 and AB 52. Xxxx and Peers will prepare the transportation section of the EIR, including VMT and LOS analyses (refer to Additional Data section for their scope of services), with all other technical work prepared by Xxxxxx staff. Upon incorporation of comments from City staff on the administrative Draft EIR, Xxxxxx will provide a Screencheck Draft EIR for staff review to confirm all comments have been addressed. Deliverables for Task 4.3: Administrative Draft EIR, including all required technical studies (Air Quality/HRA, Greenhouse Gases, Transportation) followed by a Screencheck Draft EIR.
