Based on feedback received, the City incorporated the following mitigation measure into the CEQA document, pertaining to tribal monitoring: Prior to the commencement of any ground disturbing activity at the project site, the City of Diamond Bar shall retain a Native American monitor. The Native American monitor shall be selected from a tribe that has requested that a monitor be present, and in which the project site is within their ancestral region of occupation. The Native American monitor shall only be present on-site during the construction phases that involve ground-disturbing activities. Ground disturbing activities are defined as activities that may include, but are not limited to, grubbing, tree removals, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching. The Native American monitor shall complete daily monitoring logs that shall provide descriptions of the day’s activities, including construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The on-site monitoring shall end when all ground-disturbing activities on the project site are completed, or when the Native American monitor has indicated that all upcoming ground-disturbing activities at the project site have little to no potential for impacting tribal cultural resources. The City would like to explore having a tribal monitor from your tribe involved. Can you please provide some specifics regarding bringing your tribal monitor on board, your contracting process, and also availability (the City intends to initiate ground-disturbing activities within the next 2 weeks). We are working under a pressing construction schedule and are hoping to have a monitor on board as soon as possible.

The information provided will be kept confidential and will not be included in the Initial Study or any public records. We have carefully reviewed the proposed mitigation measures, and generally find them appropriate for inclusion in the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The attached redline was prepared to be consistent with all of your recommended mitigations, while meeting the following objectives: * Maintain Diamond Bar’s neutrality among and respect for all Native American tribal organizations that have submitted AB52 letters directly to the City, or have been placed on the latest AB52/SB18 list provided by the NAHC. By doing so, the attached redlines avoid deference to the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation or any other tribal agency that has asserted ancestral ties to the lands in question. * Eliminate redundancies between different mitigation measures, so that the document as a whole appears cohesive. * Ensure that the to make the language is appropriate for CEQA, and the writing style is consistent with other portions of the Initial Study through general/miscellaneous wording updates. If you have further questions or comments after reviewing the attached, please do not hesitate to call or email me. Because I am working remotely for the most part, the best number to reach me is (909) 524-8274.

The information provided herein is to be kept confidential as part of AB52 which requires that any information – not just documents – submitted by a California Native American tribe during the environmental review process to not be included in the environmental document or otherwise disclosed by the lead agency or any other public agency to the public consistent with Gov. Code Sections 6254, subd.(r) and 6254.10. (Pub. Resources Code § 21082.3, subd. (c)(1)). We ask that the information be included and kept in a confidential appendix to be mentioned in the public document but not included. This confidential appendix shall be available for use to those associated to the project but no entity outside of the project. As stated in the Public Resource Code section 21080.3.1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with a geographic area may have expertise concerning their tribal cultural resources and an area that has cultural value. We are a California Native American tribe with an ancestral connection (higher degree of connection than traditionally and culturally affiliated) to the project area as we are lineal descendants to the village(s) within and around the project area. Since subsurface activities are planned to occur for this project that have potential to impact TCRs, we are providing tribal archive information to your agency to identify the high cultural sensitivity of the project location and to explain our concerns with specific subsurface ground disturbance activities that have impacted and destroyed our tribal cultural resources in the past. Attached are documents from historic books, screenshots of historic maps and some explanatory text that was also verbally explained in the phone consultation for your project location to explain the cultural significance of the area and the high amount of pre-historic human activity that occurred there.

All of our mainland villages (sans our island villages) overlapped each other to help facilitate the movement of tribal cultural resources throughout the landscape and also to our sister tribes outside of our traditional ancestral territory. Village use areas were usually shared between village areas and were commonly used by two or more adjoining villages depending on the type, quantity, quality, and availability of natural resources in the area. Therefore, human activity can be pronounced within the shared use areas due to the combined use by multiple villages and TCR’s may be present in the soil layers from the thousands of years of human activity within that landscape.

Trade routes were heavily used by our Tribe for movement of trade items, visiting of family, going to ceremony, accessing recreation areas, and accessing foraging areas. Within and around these routes contained seasonal or permanent ramadas or trade depots, seasonal and permanent habitation areas, and often still contain isolated burials and cremations from folks who died along the trail. These isolated burials are not associated with a village community burial site or ceremonial burial site, rather the location is simply where the person died and was buried where they died. Therefore, isolated burials are more concentrated and likely to occur in proximity to our trade routes, especially the major trade routes. Trade routes are considered a “cultural landscape”, as stated in section 21074. (a) and are protected under AB52 as a tribal cultural resource.

All water sources were used by our Tribe for life sustenance. Along these watercourses and water bodies occurred seasonal or permanent hamlets, seasonal or permanent trade depots, ceremonial and religious prayer sites, and burials and cremation sites of our ancestors. These activities occurred around water, both inland and coastal, because these water areas create unique habitats and riparian corridors that provide an abundance of food and medicine resources along with aesthetically peaceful areas with running water, shade trees, and shelter. Larger water bodies were high attractants for human activity and the banks and shores of these water bodies have a higher than average potential for encountering Tribal Cultural Resources of artifacts and human remains during ground disturbing activities. Waterways are a “cultural landscape”, as stated in section 21074. (a) and are protected under AB52 as a tribal cultural resource. Due to the project site being located within and around a sacred village (Wapijanga/ Toibingna), adjacent to sacred water courses and major traditional trade routes, there is a high potential to impact Tribal Cultural Resources still present within the soil from the thousands of years of prehistoric activities that occurred within and around these Tribal Cultural landscapes. Therefore, to avoid impacting or destroying Tribal Cultural Resources that may be inadvertently unearthed during the project's ground disturbing activities and pursuant to our consultation, we have provided to the Lead Agency substantial evidence that the proposed project may have a significant impact on our TCRs. . . "tribal cultural resources" are defined as (1) "sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe" that are included in the state or local register of historical resources or that are determined to be eligible for inclusion in the state register; and (2) resources determined by the lead agency, in its discretion, to be significant on the basis of criteria for listing in the state register of historical resources. Pub Res C §21074(a). A lead agency's determination whether a resource meets the criteria for listing in the state register must be supported by substantial evidence and must consider the significance of the resource to the tribe. Pub Res C §21074(a)(2). A "cultural landscape" may qualify as a tribal cultural resource to the extent it is "geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape." Pub Res C §21074(b)Moreover, Public Resources Code (“PRC”) Section 21084.2 states that “[a] project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.” A project that may have a significant effect on the environment requires appropriate mitigation. (PRC § 21082.3(b).) Through the consultation process, AB 52 authorized California Native American tribes to assist lead agencies in identifying, interpreting, and determining the significance of TCRs. (See AB 52, Legislative Digest.) Unless the environmental document includes mitigation measures agreed on during the consultation process, "if substantial evidence demonstrates" the project "will cause" a significant effect to a TCR, the agency must "consider" feasible mitigation measures "pursuant to" Pub Res C §21084.3(b). As well, Consultation is not deemed concluded for purposes of CEQA until the parties agree to measures to mitigate or avoid a significant effect on a tribal cultural resource, or when a party concludes, after a reasonable effort, that mutual agreement cannot be reached. (PRC §21080.3.2(b).) Any mitigation measures agreed on during the consultation process must be recommended by lead agency staff for inclusion in the environmental document and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program for the project pursuant to section 21082.3(a) of the PRC. Moreover, now that consultation has begun, as the lead agency, you may certify an EIR or adopt a mitigated negative declaration for the subject project (which may have a significant impact on a tribal cultural resource ) only after consultation has concluded. (PRC §21082.3(d).) As part of the consultation, we have requested any and all information that the lead agency may possess or has access to attain regarding the history of the subsurface soils that will be impacted as part this project’s ground disturbance activities. The key information we are requesting is information about whether the “original” soils of the project location have been “removed” and “replaced” by new soils (e.g. engineered, cleaned, imported) or have the original soils just been “removed”, placed onsite and then “backfilled” or “amended” with new soils into the same location. If documents exists about the soils for the prior scenario of the project’s footprint not containing the original soils, our concerns for ground disturbance activities in soils are reduced, but if the scenario is the latter or there is an absence of any information about the soils, we recommend protective measures to be created and implemented. Please find attached the proposed mitigation measures for the subject project. Once you have reviewed them, please provide written notification to the Tribe stating whether and to what extent you will include and require the proposed mitigations for TCR for the subject project so that we may conclude our consultation, and if you do not agree with the mitigations as proposed, so that we may continue our consultation discussions in an effort to reach an agreement.
