Re: SCH# 2017011046, Oakmont Hickory Warehouse Design Review DRC2016-00466 Project, City of Rancho Cucamonga;
San Bernardino County, California
Dear Ms. Cavazos:
The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project
referenced above. The review included the Introduction and Project Description, the Initial Study Environmental Checklist,
section 5 Cultural Resources, and the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist prepared by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. We have the
following concerns:
• Mitigation measures must take Tribal Cultural Resources into consideration as required under AB-52, with or without
consultation occurring. No consultation does not mean that there will be no impacts to Cultural Resources.
Mitigation language for "prehistoric" archaeological resources (such as "preserve them for study", initial Study, pg. 17)
is not always appropriate for or similar to measures specifically for handling Tribal Cultural Resources.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)', specifically Public Resources Code section 21084.1, states that a project
that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource is a project that may have a significant
effect on the environment.2 If there is substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before a lead agency, that a project may
have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report (EIR) shall be prepared 3 In order to determine
whether a project will cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, a lead agency will need to
determine whether there are historical resources with the area of project effect (APE).
CEQA was amended in 2014 by Assembly Bill 52. (AB 52) 4 AB 52 applies to any project for which a notice of preparation
or a notice of negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration Is filed on or after July 1, 2015. AB 52 created a
separate category for "tribal cultural resources" , that now includes "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 6 Public
agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource! Your project may also be subject to
Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) (Burton, Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004), Government Code 66352.3, if it also involves the adoption of or
amendment to a general plan or a specific plan, or the designation or proposed designation of open space. Both SB 18 and
AS 52 have tribal consultation requirements. Additionally, if your project is also subject to the federal National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. § 4321 at seq.) (NEPA), the tribal consultation requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 19666 may also apply.
Consult your legal counsel about compliance with AS 52 and SB 18 as well as compliance with any other applicable
laws.
Agencies should be aware that AB 52 does not preclude agencies from initiating tribal consultation with tribes that are
traditionally and culturally affiliated with their jurisdictions before the timeframes provided in AS 52. For that reason, we urge you

Pertinent Statutory Information:
Under AB 52:
AB 52 has added to CEQA the additional requirements listed below, along with many other requirements:
Within fourteen (14) days of determining that an application for a project is complete or of a decision by a public agency to
undertake a project, a lead agency shall provide formal notification to a designated contact of, or tribal representative of,
traditionally and culturally affiliated California Native American tribes that have requested notice.
A lead agency shall begin the consultation process within 30 days of receiving a request for consultation from a Califomia
Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project.e and prior to
the release of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration or environmental Impact report. For purposes of AB
52, "consultation shall have the same meaning as provided in Gov. Code § 65352.4 (SB 18).10
The following topics of consultation, if a tribe requests to discuss them, are mandatory topics of consultation:
a. Alternatives to the project.
b. Recommended mitigation measures.
c. Significant effects./l
1. The following topics are discretionary topics of consultation:
a. Type of environmental review necessary.
b. Significance of the tribal cultural resources.
c. Significance of the project's impacts on tribal cultural resources.
If necessary, project alternatives or appropriate measures for preservation or mitigation that the tribe may recommend to the
lead agency. 12
With some exceptions, any information, including but not limited to, the location, description, and use of tribal cultural resources
submitted by a California Native American tribe during the environmental review process shall not be Included In the
environmental document or otherwise disclosed by the lead agency or any other public agency to the public,
consistent with Government Code sections 6254 (r) and 6254.10. Any information submitted by a California Native
American tribe during the consultation or environmental review process shall be published in a confidential appendix to the
environmental document unless the tribe that provided the information consents, in writing, to the disclosure of some or all of the
information to the public.13
If a project may have a significant impact on a tribal cultural resource, the lead agency's environmental document shall
discuss both of the following:
a. Whether the proposed project has a significant impact on an identified tribal cultural resource.
b. Whether feasible alternatives or mitigation measures, including those measures that may be agreed to pursuant to
Public Resources Code section 21082.3, subdivision (a), avoid or substantially lessen the impact on the identified
tribal cultural resource.14
Consultation with a tribe shall be considered concluded when either of the following occurs:
a. The parties agree to measures to mitigate or avoid a significant effect, if a significant effect exists, on a tribal
cultural resource; or
b. A party, acting in good faith and after reasonable effort, concludes that mutual agreement cannot be reached.15
Any mitigation measures agreed upon in the consultation conducted pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.2
shall be recommended for Inclusion In the environmental document and In an adopted mitigation monitoring and
reporting program, if determined to avoid or lessen the impact pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21082.3,
subdivision (b), paragraph 2, and shall be fully enforceable.1e
If mitigation measures recommended by the staff of the lead agency as a result of the consultation process are not included in
the environmental document or if there are no agreed upon mitigation measures at the conclusion of consultation, or if
consultation does not occur, and if substantial evidence demonstrates that a project will cause a significant effect to a tribal
cultural resource, the lead agency shall consider feasible mitigation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21084.3
(b) 17
An environmental impact report may not be certified, nor may a mitigated negative declaration or a negative declaration be
adopted unless one of the following occurs:
a. The consultation process between the tribes and the lead agency has occurred as provided in Public Resources
Code sections 21080.3.1 and 21080.3.2 and concluded pursuant to Public Resources Cade section 21080.3.2.
b. The tribe that requested consultation failed to provide comments to the lead agency or otherwise failed to engage
in the consultation process.

This process should be documented in the tribal Cultural Resources section of your environmental document.
Under SB 18:
Government Code § 65352.3 (a) (1) requires consultation with Native Americans on general plan proposals for the purposes of
"preserving or mitigating impacts to places, features, and objects described § 5097.9 and § 5091.993 of the Public Resources
Code that are located within the city or county's jurisdiction. Government Code § 65560 (a), (b), and (c) provides for
consultation with Native American tribes on the open -space element of a county or city general plan for the purposes of
protecting places, features, and objects described in Sections 5097.9 and 5097.993 of the Public Resources Code.
• SB 18 applies to local governments and requires them to contact, provide notice to, refer plans to, and consult with tribes
prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan or a specific plan, or the designation of open space. Local
governments should consult the Governor's Office of Planning and Research's "Tribal Consultation Guidelines," which can
be found online at: https://www.opr.ca.gov/docs/09__14_05_Updated_Guidelines_922.pdf
• Tribal Consultation: If a local government considers a proposal to adopt or amend a general plan or a specific plan, or to
designate open space it is required to contact the appropriate tribes identified by the NAHC by requesting a "Tribal
Consultation List." If a tribe, once contacted, requests consultation the local government must consult with the tribe on the
plan proposal. A tribe has 90 days from the date of receipt of notification to request consultation unless a shorter
tlmeframe has been agreed to by the tribe.19
• There is no Statutory Time Limit on Tribal Consultation under the law.
• Confidentiality: Consistent with the guidelines developed and adopted by the Office of Planning and Research20 the city or
county shall protect the confidentiality of the information concerning the specific identity, location, character, and use of
places, features and objects described in Public Resources Code sections 5097.9 and 5097.993 that are within the city's or
county's jurisdiction.21
• Conclusion Tribal Consultation: Consultation should be concluded at the point in which:
o The parties to the consultation come to a mutual agreement concerning the appropriate measures for preservation
or mitigation; or
o Either the local government or the tribe, acting in good faith and after reasonable effort, concludes that mutual
agreement cannot be reached concerning the appropriate measures of preservation or mitigation.22
NAHC Recommendations for Cultural Resources Assessments:
• Contact the NAHC for:
o A Sacred Lands File search. Remember that tribes do not always record their sacred sites in the Sacred Lands
File, nor are they required to do so. A Sacred Lands File search is not a substitute for consultation with tribes that
are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project's APE.
o A Native American Tribal Contact List of appropriate tribes for consultation concerning the project site and to assist
in planning for avoidance, preservation in place, or, failing both, mitigation measures.
• The request form can be found at http //nahc ca.gov/resources/torms/.
• Contact the appropriate regional California Historical Research Information System (CHRIS) Center
(hnp Pohp parks ca gov/4page_id=1068) for an archaeological records search. The records search will determine:
o If part or the entire APE has been previously surveyed for cultural resources.
o If any known cultural resources have been already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE.
o If the probability is low, moderate, or high that cultural resources are located in the APE.
o if a survey is required to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.
• If an archaeological inventory survey is required, the final stage is the preparation of a professional report detailing the
findings and recommendations of the records search and field survey.
o The final report containing site forms, site significance, and mitigation measures should be submitted immediately
to the planning department. All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and
associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum and not be made available for public
disclosure.
o The final written report should be submitted within 3 months after work has been completed to the appropriate
regional CHRIS center.

Examples of Mitigation Measures That May Be Considered to Avoid or Minimize Significant Adverse Impacts to Tribal
Cultural Resources:
o Avoidance and preservation of the resources in place, including, but not limited to:
• Planning and construction to avoid the resources and protect the cultural and natural context.
• Planning greenspace, parks, or other open space, to incorporate the resources with culturally appropriate
protection and management criteria.
o Treating the resource with culturally appropriate dignity, taking into account the tribal cultural values and meaning
of the resource, including, but not limited to, the following:
• Protecting the cultural character and integrity of the resource.
• Protecting the traditional use of the resource.
• Protecting the confidentiality of the resource.
o Permanent conservation easements or other interests in real property, with culturally appropriate management
criteria for the purposes of preserving or utilizing the resources or places.
o Please note that a federally recognized California Native American tribe or a non -federally recognized California
Native American tribe that is on the contact list maintained by the NAHC to protect a California prehistoric,
archaeological, cultural, spiritual, or ceremonial glace may acquire and hold conservation easements if the
conservation easement is voluntarily conveyed.
o Please note that it is the policy of the state that Native American remains and associated grave artifacts shall be
repatriated.24
The lack of surface evidence of archaeological resources (including tribal cultural resources) does not preclude their subsurface
existence.
o Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and mdnitoring reporting program lan provisions for the
identification and evaluation of inadvertently discovered archaeological resources In areas of identified
archaeological sensitivity, a certified archaeologist and a culturally affiliated Native American with knowledge of
cultural resources should monitor all ground -disturbing activities.
o Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting, program plans provisions for the
disposition of recovered cultural items that are not burial associated in consultation with culturally affiliated Native
Americans.
o Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting program plans provisions for the
treatment and disposition of inadvertently discovered Native American human remains. Heafth and Safety Code

Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Proposed
Hickory Warehouse
February 21, 2017
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) staff appreciates the opportunity
to comment on the above -mentioned document. The following comments are meant as guidance
for the Lead Agency and should be incorporated into the Final MND.
The Lead Agency proposes the construction and operation of a 215,600-square-foot (so high -
cube warehouse with unknown occupants on an approximately 9.5-acre site. The MND
estimates approximately 362 total vehicle trips, including approximately 138 daily diesel truck
trips. In the Air Quality Section, the Lead Agency quantified the project's construction and
operation air quality impacts and compared those impacts with the SCAQMD's recommended
regional and localized daily significance thresholds. The Lead Agency determined that localized
and regional daily construction and operation emissions are less than significant. The Lead
Agency also conducted a health risk assessment (HRA) for the proposed warehouse project.
The SCAQMD staff has concerns about the trip lengths and HRA assumptions in the MND.
Details are included in the attachment. After revising the air quality analysis, should the Lead
Agency determine that project air quality impacts will exceed the SCAQMD recommended
significance thresholds, the identification and evaluation of mitigation measures to reduce
impacts below significance levels are required before the consideration of the MND for adoption
pursuant to the CEQA Guideline Section 15074(b). Additionally, the SCAQMD staff has
included a list of mitigation measures in the attachment to assist the Lead Agency in identifying
feasible mitigation measures which have the potential to substantially lessen such significant air
quality effects as stated in Public Resources Code Section 21002. In an event that the Lead
Agency determines that such significant air quality impacts cannot be mitigated or avoided, a
draft environmental impact report shall be prepared pursuant to the CEQA Guideline Sections
15073.5, 15086, and 15087.
Nikki Cavazos

Please provide the SCAQMD with written responses to all comments contained herein prior to
the adoption of the Final MND. The SCAQMD staff is available to work with the Lead Agency
to address these issues and any other air quality and HRA questions that may arise. Please

ATTACHMENT
Air Quality Analysis
In the Air Quality Climate Change Assessment, the Lead Agency uses an average truck trip
length of 17.41 miles according to a "study of metropolitan commercial and freight travel
conducted by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program... and data collected in
the field for the Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) region." Most
warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial land use projects would be hauling consumer
goods, often from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles as well as to destinations outside
of SCAQMD boundaries.
• Project site to Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach: 74 miles
• Project site to Banning Pass: 38 miles
• Project site to San Diego County line: 55 miles
• Project site to Cajon Pass: 24 miles
• Project site to downtown Los Angeles: 60 miles
Assuming that 50 percent of all delivery trips will travel to and from the project and the Port
of Los Angeles/Long Beach, the use of 17.41 miles as an average truck trip greatly
underestimates the air quality impacts. In order to ensure that the MND conservatively
evaluates the potential for air quality impacts, the SCAQMD staff recommends the Lead
Agency utilize a trip length that is reflective of the potential truck trips or limit the truck trip
miles allowed to levels analyzed in the MND. If higher truck trip miles are anticipated or
required, the Lead Agency should update the Air Quality Impact Analysis, Health Risk
Assessment and Final CEQA document to disclose this impact to the public.
Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Analysis
2. The SCAQMD staff is concerned that the Health Risk Assessment (HRA) has
underestimated the cancer risk from the proposed project. In the HRA, the Lead Agency
used the AERMOD dispersion model to estimate DPM concentrations from the diesel
vehicles generated by the proposed project and used the 2015 revised OEHHA guidelines to
estimate the health risks to sensitive receptors in the project vicinity. The SCAQMD staff
recommends that the Lead Agency revise the HRA based on the following comments, which
are intended to assist the Lead Agency in assessing the potential cancer risk attributable to
the proposed project.
a) In the air dispersion modeling the Lead Agency used the non -default option
"FASTALL." The SCAQMD staff recommends using the regulatory default options or
providing justification for using the non -default FASTALL option.
b) On -site idling was modeled as a single point source. On -site idling sources should span
the entire docking area. The SCAQMD staff recommends that the Lead Agency revise
the HRA using a line volume source that spans the entire docking area and include 15
minutes of idling to ensure that impacts are properly analyzed.
Nikki Cavazos 4 February 21, 2017
c) All on -site and off -site travel emissions were modeled as elevated area sources. The
SCAQMD staff recommends that the Lead Agency revise the HRA using a series of
volume source or provide a rationale to justify the assumptions.
d) The HRA analysis involved the use of a 100-meter spacing receptor grid and discrete
receptors placed over existing residential structures. Receptor locations should be placed
at the boundaries of the residential property and not the residential structure. Placing
receptors on the residential structure underestimates cancer risks to the residents. The
SCAQMD staff recommends that the Lead Agency revise the model and start the grid at
the property boundaries to ensure potential maximum concentrations are identified.
e) Light Heavy Duty (LHD) truck emissions were not included in the emission calculations
and HRA. By not including LHD truck emissions, the Lead Agency likely
underestimated health risks. The SCAQQD staff recommends that the Lead Agency
revise the HRA to include LHD truck emissions.
f) The 2015 revised OEHHA guidelines acknowledge that children are more susceptible to
the exposure to air toxics and have revised the way cancer risks are estimated to take this
into account. Since the emissions from the project -generated trucks get cleaner with time
due to existing regulations, it would not be appropriate to average out the emissions over
the 30-year exposure duration since this would underestimate the health risks to children
who would be exposed to higher DPM concentrations during the early years of project
operation. Therefore, the SCAQMD staff recommends that the DPM emissions for each
year of operation be applied to each of the corresponding age bins (i.e. emissions from
Year 1 of project operation should be used to estimate cancer risks to the third trimester
to 0 year age bin; Year 1 and 2 of project operation should be used to estimate the cancer
risks to the 0 to 2 years age bins; and so on).
g) In the HARP RES30YR—CancerRiskHRA, the Lead Agency used the "OEHHA Derived
Method" intake Rate Percentile Method. The SCAQMD staff recommends revising the
HRA using the "RMP using the Derived Method" for Intake Rate Percentile and include
"Dermal," "Mother's Milk," and "Homegrown Produce" as pathways to evaluate.
Operational Mitieation Measures — Mobile Sources
3. Should the Lead Agency determine after further analyses that project impacts will exceed the
SCAQMD recommended significance thresholds, the following mitigation measures are
recommended to assist the Lead Agency in reducing such significant impacts from mobile
source operations in addition to the mitigation measures included in the MND starting on
page 21 and 75. CEQA requires that all feasible mitigation measures that go beyond what is
required by law be utilized during project construction and/or operation to minimize any
significant impacts. In the event that the proposed project generates significant adverse air
quality impacts, information on potential mitigation measures as guidance to the Lead
Nikki Cavazos 5 February 21, 2017
Agency are available on the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook website.' Examples of
potential mitigation measures for the Lead Agency to consider may include the following:
a. Require the use of 2010 compliant diesel trucks, or alternatively fueled, delivery trucks
(e.g., food, retail and vendor supply delivery trucks) at commercial/retail sites upon
project build -out. If this isn't feasible, consider other measures such as incentives, phase -
in schedules for clean trucks, etc.
b. Have truck routes clearly marked with trailblazer signs, so that trucks will not enter
residential areas.
c. Limit the daily number of trucks allowed at the facility to levels analyzed in the Final
MND. If higher daily truck volumes are anticipated to visit the site, the Lead Agency
should commit to re-evaluating the project through CEQA prior to allowing this land use
or higher activity level.
d. Provide electric vehicle (EV) Charging Stations (see the discussion below under "f."
regarding EV charging stations).
e. Should the proposed project generate significant regional emissions, the Lead Agency
should require mitigation that requires accelerated phase -in for non -diesel powered
trucks. For example, natural gas trucks, including Class 8 HHD trucks, are commercially
available today. Natural gas trucks can provide a substantial reduction in health risks,
and may be more financially feasible today due to reduced fuel costs compared to diesel.
In the Final CEQA document, the Lead Agency should require a phase -in schedule for
these cleaner operating trucks to reduce project impacts. SCAQMD staff is available to
discuss the availability of current and upcoming truck technologies and incentive
programs with the Lead Agency and project applicant.
f. Trucks that can operate at least partially on electricity have the ability to substantially
reduce the significant NOx impacts from this project. Further, trucks that run at least
partially on electricity are projected to become available during the life of the project as
discussed in the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan. It is important to make this
electrical infrastructure available when the project is built so that it is ready when this
technology becomes commercially available. The cost of installing electrical charging
equipment onsite is significantly cheaper if completed when the project is built compared
to retrofitting an existing building. Therefore, the SCAQMD staff recommends the Lead
Agency require the proposed warehouse and other plan areas that allow truck parking to
be constructed with the appropriate infrastructure to facilitate sufficient electric charging
for trucks to plug-in. Similar to the City of Los Angeles requirements for all new
projects, the SCAQMD staff recommends that the Lead Agency require at least 5% of all
vehicle parking spaces (including for trucks) include EV charging stations.2 Further,
electrical hookups should be provided at the onsite truck stop for truckers to plug in any
onboard auxiliary equipment. At a minimum, electrical panels should appropriately sized
