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