4. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Harbor View Project 8-6 ESA / 170951 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2022 ATTY/RESO.0085/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA – EXHIBIT B REV: 10-28-2022 VR TABLE 8-1 (CONTINUED) HARBOR VIEW PROJECT MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Impact Mitigation Measure Implementation Responsibility Action Monitoring Party Monitoring Schedule Arborist Report. Such TPZs shall remain in place for duration of all such work. All trees to be removed shall be clearly marked. A scheme shall be established for the removal and disposal of logs, brush, earth and other debris which will avoid injury to any protected tree. 2) Where proposed development or other site work is to encroach upon the protected perimeter of any protected tree, special measures shall be incorporated to allow the roots to breathe and obtain water and nutrients. Any excavation, cutting, filing, or compaction of the existing ground surface within the protected perimeter shall be minimized. No change in existing ground level shall occur within a distance to be determined by the City’s Parks and Recreation Director or Project arborist from the base of any protected tree at any time. No burning or use of equipment with an open flame shall occur near or within the protected perimeter of any protected tree. 3) No storage or dumping of oil, gas, chemicals, or other substances that may be harmful to trees shall occur within any protected tree TPZ, or any other location on the site from which such substances might enter the protected perimeter. No heavy construction equipment or construction materials shall be operated or stored within the TPZ of any protected tree. Wires, ropes, or other devices shall not be attached to any protected tree, except as needed for support of the tree. No sign, other than a tag showing the botanical classification, shall be attached to any protected tree. 4) Periodically during construction, the leaves of protected trees shall be thoroughly sprayed with water to prevent buildup of dust and other pollution that would inhibit leaf transpiration. 5) If any damage to a protected tree should occur during or as a result of work on the site, the Project applicant shall immediately notify the Parks and Recreation Department of such damage. If, in the professional opinion of the City’s Parks and Recreation Director or Project arborist, such tree cannot be preserved in a healthy state, the Director shall require replace ment of any tree removed with another tree or trees on the same site deemed adequate by the Director to compensate for the loss of the tree that is removed. 6) All debris created as a result of any tree removal work shall be removed by the Project applicant f rom the property within two weeks of debris creation, and such debris shall be properly disposed of by the Project applicant in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. 4.4 Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources Impact CUL-2: The Project could result in significant impacts to unknown archaeological resources . Impact CUL-5: The Project could result in significant impacts to unknown tribal cultural resources. Impact CUL-1.CU: The Project, in combination with cumulative development in the vicinity of the Project site, would contribute to a significant adverse cumulative impact to cultural resources, but the contribution would not be considerable. Mitigation Measure CUL-2: Inadvertent Discovery of Archaeological Resources or Tribal Cultural Resources. If prehistoric or historic -period archaeological resources are encountered, all construction activities within 100 feet of the find shall halt and the City of Redwood City shall be notified. Prehistoric archaeological materials might include obsidian and chert flaked-stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, scrapers) or toolmaking debris; culturally darkened soil (“midden”) containing heat-affected rocks, artifacts, or shellfish remains; and stone milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, handstones, or milling slabs); and battered stone tools, such as hammerstones and pitted stones. Historic-era materials might include deposits of metal, glass, and/or ceramic refuse. A Secretary of the Interior-qualified archaeologist shall inspect the findings within 24 hours of discovery. Construction contractor(s) Qualified archaeologist Inspect the findings within 24 hours of discovery City of Redwood City – Building Division to verify construction activities within 100 feet of find are stopped City of Redwood City – Building Division to verify inspection, if resources are discovered During construction, if necessary, review and approve recommended avoidance measures, and/or suspension of construction. If it is determined that the project could damage a historical resource or a unique archaeological resource (as defined pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines) or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource (defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074), mitigation shall be implemented in accordance with PRC Section 21083.2 and Section 15126.4 of the CEQA Guidelines, with a preference for preservation in place. If preservation in place is feasible, this may be accomplished through one of the following means: (1) modifying the construction plan to avoid the resource; (2) incorporating the resource within open space; (3) capping and covering the resource before building appropriate facilities on the resource site; or (4) deeding resource site into a per manent conservation easement. Construction contractor(s) Qualified archaeologist If damage to resources is determined, implement mitigation per specified PRC and CEQA Guidelines City of Redwood City – Building Division and Planning Division to verify adherence to applicable mitigation approach.
