CALIFORNIA hatplementatiori f Mitigation Measure CR -1 would reduce any potential impacts to previously undiscovered arcliaealogical resources to a less than signi ficant level. T7te Certified E1R also concluded that the Approved Project would result in less than significant impacts to archeological resources with hnplementation of Mitigation Measure CR -1. Therefore, the Revised Projectwotild not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Certified EIR,.No new mitigation measures are required. c) Accotding,to.the County of Orange General Plan, Resottrce_Element (2015), the Project site is not located in a general:area of paleontological sensitivity. 1'lre Project Site was historicallyused for agriculture. Previous tilling of the site for agriculture would have resulted in ground disturbance of up to no more than 2 feet in depth. According to the Certified HIR, if excavation on the Project site exceeds 5 feet in depth, the potential exists for fossil remains to be encountered at previously -unrecordedfossil sites. The Revised Project would be required to comply with Mitigation Measures CR -2 through CR -11 from the Certified E1R. 'these treasures comprise a' paleontological monitoring program in compliance with the'Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standard measures for.reducingpotential impacts to paleontological resources to a less than significant level. implementation of Mitigation Measures-C'R-2 throu;;h CR-.ltwould reduce impacts to paleontologictd resource are to a less than sibmiftcam level by ensuring the appropriate identification, treatment; and curalion of any paleontological resources that Have the potential to -yield substantial information about history or prehistory. The Certified EiR also concluded that the Approved Project would result in less than significant _impacts to paleontological resources with implementation of Mitigation Measures CR -2 through CR -1 1. Therefore, the Revised Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified.in the Certified E[R. No new 'mitigation measures are required. d) No known human remains are present oil the Project site, and there are no facts or.evidence to support the idea that Native Americans or people of European descent are buried on the Project site. However; as described above, buried and undiscovered archaeological remains; including human remains; inay be present below the mound surface in portions of the Project site. Disturbing human remains could violate.the State's Health and Safety Code, 9l,6well m destroy the resource. In the;nnlikely event that human remainsare encountered during grading, the proper authorities would be notified, and standard procedures forth respectful handling orhuman remains daring the earthmoving activities would be adhered to, Construction contractors are required to adhere to,California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 15064,5(e), PRC Section 5097, and Suction 7050.5 of the State's Health and Safely Code. To ensure proper treatment of burials, in the event of an unanticipated discovery ofa burial; human bone; or suspected human bone, the law requires that all excavation or grading in the vicinity of the find halt immediately; the area of the find be protected, and the contractor immediately notify the County Coroncr of the find: The contractor, developer, and the County Cotuncr are required to comply with lbe provisions of CCR Section 15064.5(e)JRC Section 5097.95, and Section 7050.5 of the Slate's Health and Safely'Code. Compliance with these provisions would ensure that any'powtulial impacts to unknown buried human remains would be less thin significant by ensuring. appropriate examination, treatment, and protection of human remains as required by Stalc law., No mitigation is required.
