5 LESS -THAN -SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
<br />WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED
<br />would be less than significant. Therefore, the Project's contribution to cumulative impacts on noise
<br />would not be cumulatively considerable, and therefore, would be less than significant with
<br />mitigation incorporated.
<br />5.5 TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
<br />Threshold TCR-1: The Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the
<br />significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code
<br />Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is
<br />geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape,
<br />sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American
<br />tribe, and that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of
<br />Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined
<br />in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k), with the implementation of
<br />mitigation.
<br />Findings: The City finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,
<br />the Project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified
<br />in the Final Supplemental EIR. Specifically, the City finds that the following mitigation measures
<br />shall be implemented to reduce potentially significant tribal cultural resource impacts resulting
<br />from the Project (Final Supplemental EIR, p. 3-9 — 3-11):
<br />GPU PEIR MM CUL-6, listed previously.
<br />Project -Specific MM TCR-1: Native American Monitor - Gabrieleno Band of Mission
<br />Indians-Kizh Nation:
<br />a. The project applicant shall retain a Native American monitor from or approved by
<br />the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation. The monitor shall be retained
<br />prior to the commencement of any "ground -disturbing activity" for the subject
<br />project at any project locations (i.e., both onsite and any offsite locations that are
<br />included in the project description/definition and/or required in connection with the
<br />proposed project, such as public improvement work). "Ground -disturbing activity"
<br />shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing,
<br />auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and
<br />trenching.
<br />b. A copy of the executed monitoring agreement shall be submitted to the Lead
<br />Agency prior to the earlier of the commencement of any ground -disturbing activity,
<br />or the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground -disturbing activity.
<br />c. The monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the
<br />relevant ground -disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed,
<br />locations of ground -disturbing activities, soil types, cultural -related materials, and
<br />any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe.
<br />Monitor logs will identify and describe any discovered tribal cultural resources,
<br />including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts,
<br />remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, tribal cultural resources, or
<br />"TCR"), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains
