SFPUC 2001 Alameda Watershed Management Plan

III. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND IMPACTSH. CULTURAL RESOURCESprepared for SMP-32. Pertinent measures adopted by Alameda County as conditions of approvalfor SMP-32 include requirements for landscape plan approval and berming to provide a visualbarrier to the Sunol Water Temple. In addition, the Alameda Watershed Management Planincludes backfilling of an additional quarter-mile buffer after mining on the east side of SunolWater Temple, which is closest to mining activity, to provide additional mitigation for culturalresources impacts. Amendment of the existing permit, if required, would be subject to projectlevelenvironmental review by Alameda County.Options presented under Actions sun2a and sun2b would require amendments to existing permitssouth of I-680. The increase in mining depths proposed in both Actions sun2a and sun2b wouldnot be likely to impact cultural resources beyond levels previously analyzed and mitigated inprevious environmental documentation. It may be reasonably assumed that Alameda Countywould apply conditions of approval to the permit modifications consistent with those applied toSMP-24, SMP-30. These mitigation measures include requirements that dictate actions that mustbe taken if cultural resources are uncovered during earth removal. Amendment of the existingpermits would be subject to project-level environmental review by Alameda County._________________________REFERENCES – Cultural ResourcesExcept where indicated, references are on file at the San Francisco Planning Department.Alameda County Planning Department, Mission Rock Company SMP-24 Initial Study, 1985.(Available at Alameda County Community Development Agency Planning Department,Hayward, California)Alameda County Planning Department, Resolution R-86-62 conditionally approving SMP-24,1986.
