Hire a qualified archaeologist to be present on site during the grading and <br />trenching for the foundation(s) and utility services in order to determine if any <br />bone, shell, or artifacts are uncovered. Work on the site will cease immediately. <br />The archaeologist and the Native American Heritage Commission and or their <br />representative shall be consulted to develop, if necessary, further mitigation <br />measures to reduce any archaeological impact to a less-than-significant level <br />before construction continues. The applicant shall have the archaeologist produce <br />a letter stating that they were on site during the initial construction activities and <br />the result of their observations at the site. <br /> <br />. Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the applicant shall present a contract <br />or letter indicating the archaeologist who will be on site during the initial <br />construction activities. <br /> <br />Therefore, this would be a less-than-signijicant-impact. <br /> <br />6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS <br /> <br />Environmental Setting <br /> <br />The approval of a proj ect by a city or county must be in accordance with policies and criteria <br />established by the State Mining and Geology Board. Cities and counties shall require, prior to <br />the approval of a project, a geologic report defining and delineating any hazard of surface fault <br />rupture. If the city or county finds that no undue hazard of that kind exists, the geologic report <br />on the hazard may be waived, with the approval of the State Geologist. After a report has been <br />approved or a waiver granted, subsequent geologic reports shall not be required, provided that <br />new geologic data warranting further investigations is not recorded. <br /> <br />Standards of Significance <br /> <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed <br />project would: <br />. Result in a project being built that will either introduce geologic, soils, or seismic hazard <br />by allowing the construction of the project on such a site without protection against those <br />hazards. <br /> <br />15 <br />
