12/17/2007 XI. CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES A. Disturbance of Prehistoric Cultural Resources Potential Impact 14-1: Implementation of the proposed project grading plan, including subsurface foundations, dredging, roads and infrastructure, could disturb as yet unidentified sensitive, on-site, subsurface, cultural resources. This potential represents a potentially significant impact. Mitigation 14-1: Require that a qualified archaeologist be retained at applicant expense to monitor project-related on-site building foundation, marina, infrastructure, and other excavations. In the event that subsurface cultural resources are encountered during approved ground-disturbing activities, work in the immediate vicinity must be stopped and the retained archaeologist shall evaluate the finds. The discovery or disturbance of any cultural resources shall also be reported to the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and the Native American Heritage Commission. Identified cultural resources shall be recorded on State Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) form 422 (archaeological sites). Mitigation measures prescribed by these groups and required by the City shall be undertaken prior to resumption of construction activities. If disturbance of a project area cultural resource cannot be avoided, a mitigation program, including measures set forth in the City's Cultural Resources Management Program and in compliance with sections 15064.4 and 15126.4 of the CEQA Guidelines, shall be implemented. In the event that any human remains are encountered, earthmoving shall be stopped until the County Coroner's office has been contacted. Findings: Implementation of Mitigation 14-1 will reduce the significance of the Project's potential impact to cultural and historic resources to a less-than-significant level. XII. AIR QUALITY A. Construction Emissions Potential Impact 15-1: Project construction activities, including proposed building demolition, excavation and grading operations, and filling and dredging, associated construction vehicle traffic, and wind blowing over resultant exposed earth, would generate exhaust emissions and fugitive particulate matter emissions that would affect local air quality. These possible effects represents a potentially significant impact. Mitigation 15-1: Dust emissions from demolition and construction activities can be greatly reduced by implementing fugitive dust control measures. The significance of construction impacts is, according to the BAAQMD Guidelines, determined by whether or not appropriate dust control measures are implemented. Implementation of the following conventional BAAQMD-recommended dust control measures would be expected to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level: 1. Demolition Period. Require implementation of the following dust control measures by contractors during demolition of existing structures: Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 121707 41 14829 Muff# 613
