aA -33 <br />X. CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />A. Archaeological Resources <br />Potential Impact: There is a potential to discover currently unknown <br />archaeological resources during excavation activities for the proposed project. <br />(Potentially Significant) <br />Mitigation: The following mitigation measure, as set forth in the Initial <br />Study and the FEIR, is hereby adopted and will be implemented as provided in the <br />Mitigation Monitoring Program: <br />The project sponsor shall prepare a Cultural Resources Management Plan <br />that will take into account the following: <br />Monitoring by Qualified Archaeologist. Due to the high potential for the <br />discovery of cultural resources, a qualified archaeologist (hired by the project sponsor) <br />shall be present prior to and during site preparation stages to monitor all excavation <br />activities. If any resources are discovered, the work shall be halted or deferred, as <br />directed by City staff and for such periods as directed by City staff (e.g., disturbances of <br />the soil during the excavation activities). <br />Donation of Artifacts. Any artifacts found during excavation shall be turned <br />over by the project sponsor immediately to a designated repository to ensure that they <br />will be made available for public display. Identified cultural resources shall be recorded <br />on DPR 422 forms (for archaeological sites) and DPR 523 forms (for historic resources). <br />Similar forms acceptable to the State Office of Historic Preservation can also be used. <br />Cessation of Excavation Work. The following instructions shall be followed <br />if, during excavation or site preparation, any human remains are discovered: <br />The project sponsor shall stop work immediately and contact the <br />San Mateo County Coroner. <br />The Coroner has two working days to examine the remains after <br />being notified by the person responsible for the excavation. If the <br />remains are Native American, the Coroner has 24 hours to notify <br />the Native American Heritage Commission. <br />Designation of Qualified Observers. Designated observers by staff, taking <br />into consideration the recommendations of the Redwood City Historic Resources <br />Advisory Committee (HRAC), utilizing a member of the HRAC, when possible (as <br />appointed by the HRAC) shall be authorized onsite by the project sponsor (prior to and <br />during excavation activities) to observe, record, and recommend to the site <br />archaeologist and help retrieve (if applicable) any artifacts identified onsite. The project <br />sponsor shall accordingly prepare a hold harmless agreement. <br />22 <br />
