Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program TABLE 4-1 (CONTINUED) TRANSIT DISTRICT DTPP AMENDMENTS MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 4-4 ESA / 202100421.00 Final EIR October 2022 MITIGATION MEASURES Monitoring Program Implementation Responsibility Monitoring and Reporting Action Monitoring Responsibility Monitoring Schedule Cultural Resources (cont’d.) Mitigation Measure CR-2 (cont’d.) cultural resource by a Native American representative, avoidance is not necessary. If the find(s) are determined by the qualified archaeologist to be a historical resource or a unique archaeological resource, the resource shall be avoided if feasible. If the City determines that avoidance is not feasible, project impacts shall be mitigated in accordance with the recommendations of the qualified archaeologist, in coordination with the City Community Development and Transportation Department, the project applicant, and in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4 (b)(3)(C), which requires the preparation and implementation of a data recovery plan. The data recovery plan shall include provisions for adequately recovering all scientifically consequential information from and about any discovered archaeological materials and include recommendations for the treatment of these resources. In-place preservation of the archaeological resource is the preferred manner of mitigating potential impacts, as it maintains the relationship between the resource and the archaeological context. In-place preservation also reduces the potential for conflicts with the religious or cultural values of groups associated with the resource. Other mitigation options include, but are not limited to, the full or partial removal and curation of the resource. The City Community Development and Transportation Department shall confirm that the project applicant has retained a qualified archaeologist for the preparation and implementation of the data recovery plan, which shall be conducted prior to any additional earth-moving activities in the area of the resource. The recovery plan shall be submitted to the project applicant, the City Community Development and Transportation Department. Once the recovery plan is reviewed and approved by the City Community Development and Transportation Department and any appropriate resource recovery completed, project construction activity within the area of the find may resume. A data recovery plan shall not be required for resources that have been deemed by the qualified archaeologist, in coordination with the City, as adequately recorded and recovered by studies already completed as per CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4 (b)(3)(D). The qualified archaeologist shall determine the need for archaeological construction monitoring in the vicinity of the find thereafter.
