Jenny Soo May 8,2015 Page 7 Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure 4.D-3:In the event that paleontological resources are encountered during the course of development, all construction activity must temporarily cease in the affected area(s) until the uncovered fossils are properly assessed by a qualified paleontologist and subsequent recommendations for appropriate documentation and conservation are evaluated by the Lead Agency. Excavation or disturbance may continue in other areas of the site that are not reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent or additional paleontological resources. Mitigation Measure 4.D-4:The site has no known human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. However, it is impossible to be sure about the presence or absence of human remains on a site until site excavation and grading occurs. As required by State law, in the event that such remains are encountered,there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains. The County Coroner would be contacted and appropriate measures implemented. These actions would be consistent with the State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5,which prohibits disinterring, disturbing,or removing human remains from any location other than a dedicated cemetery. Similar to the 2014 project,the 2015 project's ground disturbance has the potential to encounter previously unknown paleontological resources or human remains. The level of ground disturbance resulting from the 2015 project is expected to be similar to that of the 2015 project. As noted in the 2014 Addendum, in the event that paleontological resources or human remains are found, implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.D-3 and 4.D-4 would require construction activities to temporarily stop and the implementation of appropriate actions to mitigate impacts. As such,with the implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.D-3 and 4.D-4,cultural resource impacts related to the 2015 project would continue to be less than significant. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Mitigation Measure 4.G-5:c.The following condition shall be included in any PUD development approval for all the potential sites for rezoning: Prior to the issuance of a grading permit or building permit,whichever is sooner,the project Applicant shall submit verification from the FAA, or other verification to the satisfaction of the City Engineer or Chief Building Official,of compliance with the FAA Part 77(Form 7460 review) review for construction on the project site. The 2015 project is located on the same site and at the same distance from the Livermore Municipal Airport as the 2014 project. The project site is not located within the airport's Airport Protection Area, Airport Influence Area, or Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 height restriction space. Nonetheless,similar to the 2014 project,the 2015 project would be required to verify compliance with FAA Part 77 with regards to building height, in compliance with Mitigation Measure 4.G-5. As such, potential aviation hazard impacts related to the 2015 project would continue to be less than significant.
