082 <br /> <br />Archaeological Resources <br /> <br />Significant Effects <br /> <br />Excavation activities to remove old roadway surface and prepare the new <br />roa0way surface, could potentially disturb buried remnants of historical or <br />prehistorical artifacts. <br /> <br />Finding <br /> <br />The following measure has been incorporated into the project, which, if <br />properly implemented, will avoid or substantially lessen the potential impacts <br />on archaeological resources to a level of insignificance. <br /> <br />If potential archaeological resources are encountered during grading, <br />all work will be halted in that particular location until a qualified <br />archaeologist can evaluate the significance of the recovered materials. <br /> <br />Rationale <br /> <br />Although the potential for uncovering buried archaeological artifacts is <br />considered very low in this long-urbanized, built environment, the grading <br />contractor's awareness of this concern and direction to halt work when <br />unusual materials are uncovered, will enable a qualified specialist to examine <br />and evaluate the material and to properly dispose of it, in accordance with the <br />standards of the professional archaeological community. This will adequately <br />preserve any significant resources that may be found. <br /> <br />Light and Glare <br /> <br />Significant Effects <br /> <br />The installation of new street lighting fixtures could result in nuisance glare <br />effects onto nearby residential sites. <br /> <br />Finding <br /> <br />The following measure has been incorporated into the project, which, if <br />properly implemented, will avoid or substantially possible light and glare <br />effects, to a level of insignificance. <br /> <br />Consideration will be given to the selection of new street lighting <br />fixtures which have cut-off shields to minimize light and glare <br />nuisances for residential properties adjoining Bristol Street. <br /> <br /> <br />
