B. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5? D. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. C. Directly or indirectly disturb or destroy a unique pa1eontogical resource or site? Less than Significant Impact According to the Updated General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no known cultural resources on the project site. Additionally, the project site is located within an urbanized area and chance for the discovery of unknown cultural resources would be low. VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS A-l. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Less Than Significant The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1991 established a statewide seismic hazard mapping and technical advisory program to assist cities and counties in protecting the public health and safety from the effects of strong ground shaking, liquefaction, and other seismic hazards caused by earthquakes. Additionally, the Alquist-Priolo Act directs the State Geologist to delineate regulatory zones that encompass surface traces of active faults that have the potential for future surface fault rupture. The Tustin, California Quadrangle Official Map of Seismic Hazard Zones dated January 17, 2001 was reviewed to evaluate potential seismic impacts on the proj ect site. According to the Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the project site is not located within a designated Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone. Additionally, the surface traces of any active or potentially active faults are not known to pass directly through or extend towards the proj ect site. Therefore, the potential for surface rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the project site during the design life of the proposed project is considered low. 11 3~A-~5
