Hana Japan Restaurant Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 35 May 2025 Mitigation Measure(s) Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce the above potential impact to a less-than-significant level. V-1. Prior to grading permit issuance, the developer shall submit improvement plans to the City of Pleasanton for review and approval which indicate through notation that if unknown cultural resources, including unique historical, archaeological, or paleontological resources, are encountered during site grading or other site work, all such work shall be halted immediately within 200 feet of the find and the developer shall immediately notify the City of Pleasanton Community Development Department of the discovery. If such resources are identified, the developer shall be required, at their own expense, to retain the services of a qualified archaeologist, paleontologist, or historian, as applicable, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for prehistoric and historic archaeology. The qualified professional shall record, protect, or curate the discovery as appropriate and shall submit a report of the findings and method(s) of curation or protection to the City of Pleasanton Community Development Department. Further grading or site work within the area of discovery shall not be allowed until the preceding work has occurred. V-2. If human remains, or remains that are potentially human, are found during construction, all work shall be halted immediately within 200 feet and a professional archaeologist shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance. Work shall not resume within the radius until the City of Pleasanton determines that appropriate measures have been completed to the City’s satisfaction. The archaeologist shall notify the Amador County Coroner pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the State Health and Safety Code. In addition, the provisions of Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code (PRC), and Assembly Bill 2641 shall be implemented. If the County Coroner determines the remains are Native American, then the Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the project (Section 5097.98 of the PRC). The designated MLD shall have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains. If the applicant does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (PRC Section 5097.94). If an agreement is not reached, the qualified archaeologist or MLD shall rebury the remains where they would not be further disturbed (PRC Section 5097.98) and record the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center or Alameda County (AB 2641).
