Legacy Sunflower Apartments Page 103 Mitigated Negative Declaration – March 14, 2019 Mitigation Measure No. 14 A qualified archaeologist and a Native American Monitor of Gabrieleño Ancestry shall evaluate all archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities. If the resources are Native American in origin, the Tribe shall coordinate with the developer regarding treatment and curation of these resources. Typically, the Tribe would request reburial or preservation for educational purposes. If archaeological features are discovered, the archaeologist shall report such findings to the City of Fountain Valley Planning and Building Director. If the archaeological resources are found to be significant, the archaeologist shall determine the appropriate actions, in cooperation with the City that shall be taken for exploration and/or salvage in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 (f). Implementation of the recommended mitigation measures would reduce potent ial tribal cultural resource impacts to less than significant. b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. No Impact. As discussed in Section XVII. a) above, the project would not have any impacts to any known or suspected Native American cultural resources. XIX. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project: a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunication facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact. The project would connect to the existing 12” water main that extends under the existing sidewalk along the north side of Sunflower Avenue adjacent to the site. This existing 12” water line has capacity to provide the required water supply and fire flow for the project without the need to cons truct new water supply facilities or expand existing facilities. There is an existing 78” sewer line in Sunflower Avenue adjacent to the site. The project proposes to construct a new 8” sewer lateral in the southwest area of the site to connect with the existing 78” sewer line in Sunflower Avenue. The proposed on-site 8” sewer lateral would collect all on-site wastewater and discharge the wastewater to the existing 78” sewer in Sunflower. The existing 78” sewer line has adequate capacity to serve the project. The Orange County Sanitation District has adequate capacity treat the wastewater generated by the project without the need to construct new or expand existing wastewater treatment facilities. Existing electricity, natural gas and telecommunications facilities are located in Sunflower Avenue adjacent to the site and currently serve the existing church. The utilities would have to be upgraded in order to adequately serve the project. All required utility upgrades would be completed within existing easements and none of the existing utilities would have to be relocated or upgraded that could result in significant environmental impacts. The project would have less than significant impact to existing water, sewer and wastewater facilities, storm drain, electrical, natural gas and telecommunication facilities. 6-125
