to paleontological resources, and it is possible that paleontological <br /> resources could be present underground within the area of the Project. <br /> 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.D-3 from the 2012 SEIR set <br /> forth in Table 5- 1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the RMMRP will ensure <br /> that Impact 4.E-2c would be reduced to a less than significant level and is <br /> hereby incorporated by reference and described below. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.D-3: In the event that paleontological resources are <br /> encountered during the course of development, all construction activity must <br /> temporarily cease in the affected area(s) until the uncovered fossils are properly <br /> assessed by a qualified paleontologist and subsequent recommendations for <br /> appropriate documentation and conservation are evaluated by the Lead Agency. <br /> Excavation or disturbance may continue in other areas of the site that are not <br /> reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent or additional paleontological resources. <br /> Site(s) affected: All sites within the Project. <br /> (Draft SEIR,pp. 4.E-17 to 4.E-19.) <br /> Impact 4.E-2d <br /> Development facilitated by the Project has the potential to disturb human remains, <br /> including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. <br /> The Revised Final SEIR evaluates the impacts of the Project related to the disturbance of <br /> human remains. <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Significant <br /> Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant <br /> Finding: Changes have been incorporated into the Project that would avoid the <br /> significant environmental effect as identified in the Revised Final SEIR. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.E-6, which has been incorporated into the Project, will <br /> reduce the significant environmental impact to a less than significant level. <br /> Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measure indicate <br /> that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. <br /> 1. Subsurface ground-disturbing activities within the Project could <br /> inadvertently disturb previously unknown human remains. <br /> 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.E-6 set forth in Table 5-1 of the <br /> Final SEIR and listed in the RMMRP will ensure that Impact 4.E-2d <br /> 27 <br />
