Cordially,
#The Agua Caliente THPO has identified Tribal Cultural Resources and Cultural
Landscape within the proposed project boundary. We request redesign of the
project to avoid the identified Tribal Cultural Resources, and prefer "preservation in
place". These resources are eligible for the Californian Register Historic Properties
and may also be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as Traditional
Cultural Properties.
#Due to the complexity of the resources we need more information for assessing
impacts. Please provide GIS data for the project plans, the record search, and the
cultural survey results. We also request copies of all site records, reports, archival
information, and maps associated with the project area.
#Additionally, we request continued consultation on defining an adequate
preservation area. In consultation with the THPO, we request development of an
exploratory trenching program for the areas of the project outside of the future
preservation area. We also want a commitment from the City to condition the
project with adequate curation measures.
