Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measure indicate that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. 1. Subsurface ground -disturbing activities within the proposed Zone could inadvertently disturb previously unknown human remains. 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.E-6 set forth in Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP will ensure that Impact 4.E -2d would be reduced to a less -than -significant level and is hereby incorporated by reference and described below. Mitigation Measure 4.E-6: Human Remains. In the event that human remains are discovered during ground disturbing activities for a project under construction within the EDZ, the construction contractor shall stop work immediately. No disposition of such human remains shall take place, 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. Per these code provisions, the project developer shall ensure appropriate 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 sites within the proposed Zone. (Draft SEIR, pp. 4.E-17 to 4.E-19.) 6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact 4.E -5b Development facilitated by the proposed Zone could create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The SEIR evaluates the impacts of the proposed Zone related to disturbance of unknown hazardous materials in soil or groundwater during construction activities. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant Finding: Changes have been incorporated into the proposed Zone that would avoid the significant environmental effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measures 4.E-7 and 4.E-8 which are incorporated into the proposed Zone, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a less -than -significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. 1. Remaining and/or previously unidentified contamination may be present on or 34
