and legal basis for the protection of significant archaeological resources. The Native American monitor shall be invited to participate in this training. In the event that archaeological resources (artifacts or features) are exposed during ground- disturbing activities, construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery shall be halted while the resources are evaluated for significance by an archaeologist who meets the Secretary's Standards. This will include tribal consultation and coordination with the Native American monitor in the case of a prehistoric archaeological resource or tribal resource. If the discovery proves to be significant, the long-term disposition of any collected materials should be determined in consultation with the affiliated tribes), where relevant; this could include curation with a recognized scientific or educational repository, transfer to the tribe, or respectful reinternment in an area designated by the tribe. Project Specific MM CR-1: If a resource is determined significant, the Project Applicant, qualified archaeologist, and tribal monitors (as included in MM TCR-1 ) Native American tribal representative shall meet and confer regarding the treatment measures and mitigation for such resources. Pursuant to PRC Section 21053.2(b), avoidance is the preferred method of preservation for archaeological resources and may include deeding archaeological resources into permanent conservation easements or planning parks, greenspace, or other open space to incorporate archaeological resources. If preservation in place or avoidance is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis of the artifacts that are recovered. The methods and results of the data recovery excavations shall be included in the monitoring report that is described in MM CR-2. The report shall include a description of resources recovered, treatment of the resources, results of the artifact processing, analysis, and research, and evaluation of the resources with respect to the California Register of Historical Resources and CEQA. Construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery can resume once the fieldwork component of the treatment measures has been implemented. These treatment measures and mitigation shall reduce any significant impacts by ensuring that either the resource is preserved in place or is removed prior to its destruction by construction activities. Project Specific MM CR-2: After monitoring has been completed, the qualified archaeologist shall prepare a monitoring report that details the results of monitoring activities, which shall be submitted to the City and to the SCCIC at the University California, Fullerton. C. Geology and Soils Impact Finding: The Project would not be located on a geologic unit or soils that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.4-1 1 ). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Draft Supplemental EIR. Facts in Support of Findings: The elevation of the site is approximately 34 feet above msl and the site is not located on or adjacent to a hillside or slope. Based on the relatively flat topography of the site, lack of a free face nearby and low liquefaction potential, the G eotechnical Report determined that the potential for lateral spreading on the site is low (Included as Appendix G to
