<br />Draft Findings of Fact and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (applies to CEQA only) <br /> <br />7.11 CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> <br />Potentially Significant Effects <br /> <br />Permanent Impacts <br /> <br />. There were no archaeological, historic or cultural resources found within the Area of <br />Potential Effects (APE) that were eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic <br />Places (NRHP) or the California Inventory of Historic Resources, as documented in the <br />Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR): Negative Findings. The survey involved <br />evaluation of archaeological resources, bridges, and architectural structures, as well as <br />coordination with Native American institutions. <br /> <br />Temporary Impacts (Construction) <br /> <br />. No known impacts, direct or indirect, on cultural resources would result from the <br />construction of the Preferred Alternative. However, as in all construction requiring grading <br />and demolition, there is the potential to discover unrecorded archaeological artifacts. If <br />undocumented and unknown archaeological resources are unearthed during construction, <br />Caltrans policy states that work must be halted in the vicinity of the find until a qualified <br />archaeologist can assess its significance. <br /> <br />Mitigation: Mitigation is not required unless undocumented or unknown archaeological <br />resources are unearthed during construction. If any undocumented or unknown archaeological <br />resources are unearthed during construction, the City shall implement the following mitigation <br />measure: <br /> <br />CUL-I <br /> <br />Any archaeological resources encountered must be evaluated by a qualified <br />archaeologist for eligibility for the NRHP or the California Register of Historic <br />Places (CRHP). If such resources are determined eligible, they must be preserved or <br />a data recovery program must be developed and implemented. <br /> <br />With Mitigation the Effects are Found to be: <br /> <br />( ) Significant (x) Not Significant <br /> <br />Finding: <br /> <br />I. (x) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid <br />the significant environmental effect. (Subd. [a][I].) <br /> <br />2. ( ) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public <br />agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other <br />agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (Subd. [a][2].) <br /> <br />3. ( ) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision <br />of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures <br />or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR/EA (Subd. [a][3].) <br /> <br />Res9lMMPJlJ.lllk-tWo!il:M~.#ng al SR-55 <br />Page 42 of 49 <br /> <br />K-30 <br /> <br />April July 2005 <br />
