136 Road and another near the Union Cemetery, although both have since been leveled and built upon (Focused GPU program EIR, p. 4.18-1). A NWIC records search determined no cultural resource studies have been conducted specifically for the Housing Component site. Because the potential for encountering unrecorded Native American resources within the subject site is “moderate to high,” the NWIC recommends as suggested protocols further archival and field study by a qualified archaeologist prior to demolition or other ground disturbance activities on the project component site (NWIC, p. 2). The Housing Component would be required to comply with the following Focused GPU program EIR mitigation measures: Mitigation Measure TCR-2a regarding encountering human remains during ground-disturbing activities and Mitigation Measure TCR-2b regarding construction crews training for identifying federal or state-eligible cultural resources (similar to Mitigation Measure TCR-1b noted previously). As discussed earlier in item V, Cultural Resources, of this checklist, the proposed Housing Component would not cause a potentially significant impact to any known (recorded) archaeological or cultural resources in the vicinity of the subject site. Project compliance with Mitigation Measure TCR-2(a) and (b) would ensure that impacts related to the Housing Component on tribal cultural resources would be less-than-significant and shall be required as a condition of approval for the Housing Component. No new or more severe impacts are anticipated than what was analyzed in the Focused GPU EIR, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. CONCLUSION With regards to the issue area of Tribal Cultural Resources, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the Housing Component or its site have been identified, (2) there are no potentially significant effects or off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the Focused GPU EIR, (3) no substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Focused GPU EIR, and (4) feasible mitigation measures contained within the Focused GPU EIR would be applied to the Housing Component and render its specific impacts less than significant. For these reasons, the tribal cultural resources impacts of the Housing Component would be consistent with the impacts identified in the Focused GPU EIR and this Housing Component does not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15183.
