Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 4-19 resources and the avoidance of built-environment structures that have not yet been evaluated for historical significance, and SPR CUL-8 requires worker training regarding protection of historical resources. The inclusion of land that is outside the CalVTP treatable landscape in the proposed treatment area constitutes a change to the geographic extent presented in the PEIR. However, within the boundary of the treatment area, the potential to encounter built-environment structures that have not yet been evaluated for historical significance in areas outside the treatable landscape is essentially the same as within the treatable landscape; therefore, the potential impact to historical resources is also the same, as described above. This impact of the proposed project is consistent with the PEIR and would not constitute a substantially more severe significant impact than what was covered in the PEIR. 4.4.1.2. Impact CUL-2 Vegetation treatment activities will include mechanical treatments that use heavy equipment that could result in ground disturbance as vegetation is removed, which may result in adverse impacts to unknown historical resources (archaeological sites) or unique archaeological resources if present within a treatment area. According to the NWIC records search, no previously recorded resources are located within the project area. Consequently, no impact to previously recorded resources is expected to occur from the program actions. However, subsurface components of unknown archaeological sites may exist within the areas of proposed activity. The potential for treatment activities to result in disturbance to, damage to, or destruction of archaeological resources was examined in the PEIR and found to be significant but would be less than significant for the proposed project with implementation of SPRs and mitigation. This impact is within the scope of the PEIR because the treatment activities and the intensity of ground disturbance that would occur under the proposed project are consistent with those analyzed in the PEIR. SPRs applicable to this impact are CUL-1 through CUL-5 and CUL-8. As described above, methods consistent with SPR-1 through SPR-4 have been implemented for the purposes of this PSA. Further, SPR CUL-8 shall be implemented, which requires worker training regarding the protection of sensitive archaeological, historical, and Tribal cultural resources. The inclusion of land that is outside the CalVTP treatable landscape in the proposed treatment area constitutes a change to the geographic extent presented in the PEIR. However, within the boundary of the treatment area, the potential for discovery of archaeological resources is essentially the same within and outside the treatable landscape; therefore, the potential impact to unique archaeological resources or subsurface historical resources is also the same, as described above. This impact of the proposed project is consistent with the PEIR and would not constitute a substantially more severe significant impact than what was covered in the PEIR.
