Andrew Salas, Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation sent a response letter via email on March 29, 2018, to request consultation. That same day, a response was sent to him, requesting additional and more specific information regarding the sensitivity of the project area. Mr. Salas responded with an invitation to meet at the Tribal office, to which a response was sent that the Tribal office is too far and instead offering a teleconference option. On March 30, 2018, an additional email response was received from Mr. Salas. In this email, Mr. Salas requested contact from the lead agency and copied the NAHC on the message. This request was forwarded to Caltrans, who responded on April 4, 2018. The response from Caltrans (which copied the NAHC) was an effort to reach out and request any information about knowledge of specific resources in the project area. Caltrans also reiterated that a teleconference is an option and offered to schedule a time for the teleconference if the group was interested. On April 12, 2018, Caltrans sent another follow-up email to Mr. Salas to offer a teleconference option to discuss the project and address any questions or concerns that the group may have. No further response from Mr. Salas' group was received. On April 11, 2018, a response letter dated April 2, 2018, was received from Ray Teran, Resource Manager for the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians. This letter stated that the project has little cultural significance or ties to Viejas, and requested that they be informed of any inadvertent discoveries.
