Grand Avenue Widening Project Environmental Impact Report Section 3.0 CR -3 The project specifications shall indicate that, if human remains are found during site preparation, grading or excavation, the Native American Graves Protection Act Guidelines and State law require that construction personnel: Initnediately halt work in the immediate area. Leave the remains in place. Contact the City of Santa Ana Project Manager and the Orange County Coroner. Until a representative of the Coroner's office reviews the remains in the field, they must not be removed. If the Coroner determines the remains are prehistoric, the Coroner will contact the Native American Heritage Commission and the most likely descendent from the Native American community will be informed. The final deposition of the remains must be coordinated between representatives of the property owner and the most likely descendent. CR -4 The project specifications shall indicate that if prehistoric artifacts or buried deposits are uncovered during grading, the Orange County Certified Archaeologist shall temporarily halt construction activities in the immediate area until the Archaeologist can evaluate the significance of the find. Implementation of a recovery program would follow, if the remains are determined to be potentially eligible for the California Register. CR -5 At the conclusion of the cultural resources monitoring, the recovered artifacts shall be properly collected with photographs, field notes and locations plotted on a USGS 7.5' topographic quadrangle. Artifacts will be identified, catalogued and stabilized for curation. Recovered artifacts shall be offered, on a first right -of -refusal basis, to a repository with a retrievable collection system and an educational and research interest in the materials. For example, the Anthropology Museum at California State University, Fullerton would be an appropriate repository to receive any artifacts collected in the Grand Avenue project area. CR -6 At the conclusion of the cultural resources monitoring, a final monitoring report, including an itemized inventory of collected artifacts and pertinent field data, shall be prepared and sent to the City of Santa Ana. Copies of this report will also be sent to the South Central Coastal Information Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. CR -7 During final design, the City will refine the design of the selected alterative to avoid acquisition of the residential structures at 702 and 714 North Grand Avenue, if feasible. hi the event that the design of the selected alternative cannot avoid the acquisition of these properties, the City shall offer the residences for sale and relocation to another parcel. If relocation is not feasible, the City shall prepare photo and text documentation of these structures prior to removal of the structures, in a report consistent with Historic American Buildings Survey (NABS) standards. That report shall document the significance and physical condition of the buildings proposed for demolition with photographs, written data and text, as follows: A. A brief written historic and descriptive report in narrative format, including an architectural data form. F.1PR0J-ENMGrand eirWew Text- GrandWection 3 Split&ction 3.7doc Page 3.7-11
