The project contractor shall immediately notify the Coroner upon the discovery of any human remains. At the same time, a qualified archaeologist, in coordination with the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department, shall assess the situation and consult with the appropriate agencies. If the human remains are of Native American origin, the Coroner shall notify the NAHC within 24 hours of this identification. The NAHC will identify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) to inspect the site and provide recommendations for the proper treatment or disposition, with proper dignity, of the remains and any associated grave goods. Upon completion of the assessment, the qualified archaeologist shall prepare a report documenting the background to the finds, and provide recommendations for the treatment of the human remains and any associated cultural materials, as appropriate and in coordination with the recommendations of the MLD. The report shall be submitted to the project applicant, the City Planning Department, and the NWIC. Once the report is reviewed and approved by the City Planning Department, and any appropriate treatment completed, project construction activity within the area of the find may resume. If the MLD does not make recommendations within 48 hours, the project applicant(s) shall reinter the remains in an area of the property secure from further disturbance. If the project applicant(s) does not accept the MLD’s recommendations, the applicant(s) or the MLD may request mediation by the NAHC.
