In this instance, once project- <br />related earthmoving begins and if there is accidental discovery or recognition of any <br />human remains, the following steps shall be taken: <br />1. There shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area <br />reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the Alameda <br />County Coroner is contacted to determine if the remains are Native American <br />and if an investigation of the cause of death is required. If the Coroner <br />determines the remains to be Native American, the Coroner shall contact the <br />Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 hours, and the NAHC <br />shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the “most likely descendant” <br />of the deceased Native American. The most likely descendant may make <br />recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation <br />work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human <br />remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code <br />Section 5097.98, or <br />2. Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his/her authorized <br />representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and associated <br />grave goods with appropriate dignity either in accordance with the <br />recommendations of the most likely descendent or on the project area in a <br />location not subject to further subsurface disturbance: <br />• The NAHC is unable to identify a most likely descendent or the most likely <br />descendent failed to make a recommendation within 48 hours after being <br />notified by the commission; <br />• The descendent identified fails to make a recommendation; or <br />• The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of <br />the descendent, and the mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures <br />acceptable to the landowner. <br />
