ATTY/RESO.0035/CC RESO CERTIFYING FINAL EIR – 1548 MAPLE REV: 04-30-18 PR Page 8 of 49 • Reconstruction or repair of the Water Tank shall not materially impair or visually obscure the historic features of the structure. • A qualified preservation architect and structural engineer/contractor shall oversee reconstruction of the Water Tank at its new location to ensure that the work is done in accordance with the Relocation Plan. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would reduce the project- related impact related to the removal or relocation of the Water Tank, which qualifies as a historical resource, as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, to a less-than-significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: This mitigation measure establishes tasks to be completed prior to, during, and after relocation to ensure the Water Tank would not be materially altered or impaired during or after the relocation process. Impact CUL-2: Ground-disturbing activities occurring with development of both the proposed project and the project variant could have a substantial adverse change on archaeological deposits that qualify as historical resources, as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, and could materially impair historic-period archaeological deposits. Mitigations CUL-2a: Prior to project ground disturbance, all construction contractor(s) responsible for overseeing and operating ground-disturbing mechanical equipment (e.g., on- site construction managers and backhoe operators) shall be alerted to the sensitivity of the project site for buried archaeological deposits. A qualified archaeologist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Historic Archeology shall conduct a “tailgate presentation” to alert relevant construction personnel of the appropriate procedures that should be undertaken if archaeological deposits are encountered during construction. CUL-2b: All ground disturbance activities at the project site shall be monitored by an archaeologist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Historic Archaeology. Monitoring shall continue at this location until the archaeologist determines that there is a low potential for subsurface archaeological deposits. Should an archaeological deposit be encountered during project subsurface construction, all ground-disturbing activities within 25 feet shall be redirected and the on-site archaeologist shall assess the deposit, consult with agencies as appropriate, and make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. The City shall be notified by the construction contractor within 24 hours of the encounter. If found to be significant by the on-site archaeologist (i.e., eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources), the archaeologist shall prepare a Treatment Plan that describes the measures proposed for reducing impacts to the archaeological deposit. The City of Redwood City Planning and Housing Division shall review the Treatment Plan for adequacy prior to its implementation. Mitigation measures proposed in the Treatment Plan may include, but would not be limited to, recording the archaeological deposit, data recovery and laboratory analysis of recovered archaeological materials, and public outreach. No project ground disturbance shall occur within at least 25 feet of an archaeological historical resource until a qualified archaeologist records and removes the deposit, consistent with the provisions of the Treatment Plan. The applicant shall be responsible for funding implementation of 7.A. - Page 45
