Section 5 <br />Level of Impact <br />Alternative 1: No adverse impact <br />Alternative 2! Less than significant adverse impact with Mitigation Measure CR-1. <br />Alternative 31 Less than significant adverse impact with Mitigation Measure CR-1. <br />Alternative 4: Less than significant adverse impact with Mitigation Measure CR-1. <br />IMPACT CR-3: Would the project disturb any human remains, including <br />those interred outside of formal cemeteries? <br />Alternative 1: No Federal Action/No Project <br />Under Alternative 1, the project would not be implemented. The project area <br />would continue to have low potential to encounter lands that contain recorded <br />Native American sacred burial remains. There would be no construction activity <br />and no potential to encounter unknown Native American sacred burial remains. <br />Alternative 2: Proposed Project <br />A Native American record search was conducted by Native American Heritage <br />Commission (NAHC) to determine if there were any known Native American <br />sacred burial grounds on or near the project area. The NAHC review of the <br />Sacred Lands Files did not show the presence of cultural resources on or near <br />the project area, The NAHC acknowledged that their records might not contain all <br />information relevant to Native American sites in the project area and advised <br />BonTerra/ Psomas to contact various local tribes. The NAHC provided a list of <br />tribes affiliated with the project site. Each tribe on the list was notified in writing <br />an June 8, 2015, of the Proposed Project and invited to provide any information <br />they may have regarding cultural resources on or near the project site. No <br />responses were provided indicating the potential presence of Native American <br />scared burial grounds, <br />Even though there its low potential for discovery of Native American sacred burial <br />grounds, there would be some potential that unknown Native American sacred <br />burial grounds could be encountered during earthwork activities. With the <br />implementation of Mitigation Measure CR-2 potential adverse impacts to <br />unknown Native American sacred burial remains would be reduced to a less than <br />significant level. <br />Alternative 3: Reduced Intensity Alternative <br />Under Alternative 3, the project would be implemented within the same Area of <br />Potential Effect. Similar to the proposed project, no adverse impacts would occur <br />to lands that contain recorded Native American sacred burial grounds. Under <br />Alternative 3, there would be a reduced amount of earthwork activity. Therefore, <br />wo �1 <br />Mid Basin Centennial Park Project Final EIR 5-74 <br />k"L,66' 1114� 6 <br />
