2. Implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.D-3 and 4.D-4 set forth in Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP will ensure that Impact 4.D-6 would be reduced to a less than significant level and are hereby incorporated by reference and described below: 4.D-3: In the event that paleontological resources are encountered during the course of development, all construction activity must temporarily cease in the affected area(s) until the uncovered fossils are properly assessed by a qualified paleontologist and subsequent recommendations for appropriate documentation and conservation are evaluated by the Lead Agency. Excavation or disturbance may continue in other areas of the site that are not reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent or additional paleontological resources. 4.D-4: In the event that human remains are discovered during grading and construction of development facilities by the Housing Element, work shall stop immediately. There shall be no disposition of such human remains, other than in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Section 5097.98. These code provisions require notification of the County Coroner and the Native American Heritage Commission, who in turn must notify the persons believed to be most likely descended from the deceased Native American for appropriate disposition of the remains. Site(s) affected: All (Draft SEIR, p. 4.D-21.) 5. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact 4.G-2 Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezonings could accidentally release hazardous materials into the environment, creating a potentially significant hazard to the public or environment. The SEIR evaluates the impacts of the proposed project through creation of a significant hazard to the public or environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Development facilitated by the project could create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the excavation of contaminated soil or exposure of construction workers to contaminated groundwater. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the Project that would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measure 4.G-2 which is required in or incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a less than significant level.
