FIRSTCARBON Proposal441111 SOLUTIONS FCS INTERNATIONAL.INC. other pertinent historic data. FCS will also attempt to locate and contact local historical societies that may have additional information about the project site,or interest in the proposed project. A letter will be sent requesting the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC)search their Sacred Lands File and provide recommendations on any Native American concerns. From the Native American representatives list provided by the NAHC, letters will be sent to each tribal representative requesting any additional information they may have about the project site. Please note that this process is for information gathering purposes to support conclusions made within the cultural resources analysis and does not constitute government to government tribal consultation pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB)52 and Senate Bill(SB) 18.Additional tribal outreach services are available upon request. A review of the geology and paleontology of the project site, as reported in scientific literature and a records search of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County,and any other applicable institutions,will also be requested.The results of the paleontological records search will be summarized in the Geology and Soils section of the IS/MND and will include recommendations for any mitigation measures deemed appropriate. Cultural Resources Field Survey A pedestrian field survey will be conducted for the project site by an FCS Project Archaeologist utilizing standard 15-meter transect intervals and will include all portions of the project site,where possible. Initial review of historic aerials dating back to the 1940s indicate the project site does not contain buildings or structures over 45 years in age. Properties over 45 years in age are considered potential historic resources under CEQA and may require determination as to (1)whether the property is a historic resource,and (2)whether the proposed project may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource Optional Site Recordation and Stand-alone Cultural Resources Report Any archaeological sites or buildings of historic age discovered as a result of the pedestrian survey will need to be initially evaluated for significance and recorded on appropriate Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR)forms.The property may have already been evaluated for historical resources through a previous survey or analysis, however FCS cannot determine, prior to completion of the records search or field survey,the need for recordation or the number of additional sites to be recorded. If historic properties or cultural resources are found within the project site,and if completion of DPR site forms is required,the Optional Site Recordation task will be utilized. Should initial evaluation reveal that a more detailed evaluation or historic context statement is required to properly record the resources,a stand- alone cultural resources report will be written to accompany the CEQA document. It is currently assumed that no historic structures or archaeological sites will require evaluation and subsequent recordation on DPR forms. Recordation and evaluation costs are highly dependent on what is found and will be addressed in a separate Scope of Work if required.
