Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of ? <br />formal cemeteries? <br />a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in <br />CEQA Guidelines §15064.5? <br />No Impact. The proposed project would not result in a substantial adverse change in the significance <br />of a historical resource. No known historical resources exist on-site. As stated within Section 2.0, <br />Project Description, the project includes aesthetic, drainage, water quality, and safety improvements, <br />none of which would result in the demolition or substantial alteration of any existing on-site structures. <br />Thus, no impacts would occur in this regard. <br />Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required. <br />b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant <br />to CEQA Guidelines §15064.5? <br />Less Than Slanificant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. No known archaeological resources <br />exist within the boundaries of the project site. The site has been completely disturbed through the <br />development of existing heavy industrial uses. However, minor amounts of grading and excavation <br />would be required as part of proposed project improvements. Although it is not expected that <br />archaeological resources would be encountered during the grading/excavation process, Mitigation <br />Measure CUL-1 is provided in the unlikely event such resources are discovered. Upon implementation <br />of the recommended mitigation measure, impacts would be less than significant. <br />Mitigation Measure: <br />CUL-1 In the event buried cultural resources are discovered during construction activities, an <br />Orange County-certified archaeologist shall be retained to evaluate the discovery prior to <br />resuming construction in the immediate vicinity of the find. if warranted, the archaeologist <br />shall collect the resource, and prepare a technical report describing the results of the <br />investigation. The certified archaeologist shall prepare excavated materials to the point of <br />identification, and shall offer excavated finds for curatorial purposes to the County of <br />Orange, or its designee, on a first refusal basis. The Project Applicant shall also be <br />responsible for the payment of County of Orange curatorial fees, if applicable. <br />JULY 2011 4.5-1 CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />31A-49
