Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 3-4 10. Native American Consultation: For treatment projects that are within the scope of the CalVTP PEIR, consultation for Assembly Bill 52 compliance has been completed. The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection conducted consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21080.3.1 during preparation of the PEIR. For treatment projects with impacts not within the scope of the PEIR, pursuant to PRC Sections 21080.3.1, 21080.3.2, and 21082.3, project partners preparing a new negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or EIR must notify any California Native American Tribe who has submitted written request for notification of a project in the area of the treatment site. Upon written request for consultation by a Tribe, the project partners must begin consultation before the release of the environmental document and must follow the requirements of the cited PRC sections. Pursuant to CalVTP SPR CUL-2, an updated Native American contact list and sacred lands file search was obtained from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The sacred lands data file indicated that no sacred sites occur within the project area or adjacent lands. On July 2, 2025, letters were sent via email to each of the 27 Tribal contacts provided by the NAHC that requested any additional information regarding Tribal resources and to notify the City if they wished to initiate consultation regarding the Project actions. As of the filing date, four responses have been received—two requesting consultation and two confirming receipt. As planning proceeds, the City would continue to consult with interested Tribal representatives regarding the Project and incorporate their concerns into Project planning and mitigation as warranted.
