If archaeological cultural resources are encountered during construction, the Construction Contractor shall ensure that work within 50 meters (165 feet) of the area of the discovery is stopped and will notify the City of Santa Ana (City) Public Works Director or designee. A professional archaeologist (i.e., an archaeologist registered with the Register of Professional Archaeologists) will be contacted and will visit the site to assess the nature and significance of the find. The archaeologist will then develop proper mitigation measures for the discovery. Work could continue on other parts of the Project while cultural resources mitigation takes place. Mitigation Measure CULT-2 Human Remains. The City Public Works Director or designee shall verify that all construction plans specify the requirements of California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 15064.5(e), State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, and Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5097.98. In the event that human remains are encountered in the Project area during construction activities, work within 50 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and the County Coroner notified immediately consistent with the requirements of CCR Section 15064.5(e). If the remains are determined to be Native American, the County Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which shall determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection and make recommendations or preferences for treatment within 48 hours of being granted access to the site. The MLD recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials, preservation of Native American human remains and associated items in place, relinquishment of Native American human remains and associated items to the descendants for treatment, or any other culturally appropriate treatment. Consistent with CCR Section 15064.5(d), if the remains are determined to be Native American and an MLD is notified, the City Public Works Director or designee shall consult with the MLD, as identified by the NAHC, to develop an agreement for treatment and disposition of the remains.
