8.A. - Page 34 <br />Impact 3.4-2 <br />Impact: The project would have the potential to cause a substantial adverse change in the <br />significance of archaeological resources as defined in § 15064.5. <br />Mitigation: Mitigation Measure Cultural Resources -1: Excavation contracts shall include <br />warning language in the General Specification section to alert the contractor to the <br />potential for subsurface cultural resources. <br />Mitigation Measure Cultural Resources -2: In the event that cultural materials <br />are exposed or discovered during site preparation or subsurface construction <br />activities, operations shall stop all work within 30 feet of the find and a qualified <br />professional archaeologist would be contacted for evaluation and further <br />recommendations. If a discovery is determined to be a historical or unique <br />archaeological resource, and if avoidance of the resource is not possible, the <br />archaeological or cultural resource consultant shall prepare and implement a <br />Cultural Resources Management Plan acceptable to the City of Redwood City to <br />treat the resource. Potential recommendations could include evaluation, <br />collection, recordation, and analysis of any significant cultural materials followed <br />by a professional report. The applicant shall comply with all recommendations <br />presented in the approved Cultural Resources Management Plan at all times. <br />Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measures Cultural Resources -1 and Cultural <br />Resources -2 would reduce impacts to unknown buried archaeological resources to <br />a less -than -significant level. <br />Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure Cultural Resources -1 <br />would reduce impacts to unknown archaeological resources if encountered during <br />ground disturbing construction activities by informing construction personnel <br />involved with site clearing and grading that there is a potential for discovery' of <br />archaeological materials. Mitigation Measure Cultural Resources -2 reduces <br />impacts to previously undiscovered archaeological resources by halting grading <br />and excavation work within 30 feet of the find(s) to allow the qualified <br />archaeologist to evaluate the find and make sure impacts to the cultural <br />resource(s) are avoided and a Cultural Resources Management Plan is prepared. <br />Impact 3.4-2 is described on page 3.4-7 of the Draft EIR and page 4-16 of the <br />Revised Final EIR, which are hereby incorporated by reference. <br />Impact 3.4-3 <br />Impact: The project would have the potential to directly or indirectly destroy a unique <br />paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. <br />Mitigation: Mitigation Measure Cultural Resources -3: In the event that paleontological <br />resources or unique geologic features are discovered, construction shall cease in <br />18 <br />
