c. The data recovery plan shall include provisions for adequately recovering all scientifically consequential information from and about any discovered archeological materials and include recommendations for the treatment of these resources. In-place preservation of the archeological resource is the preferred manner of mitigating potential impacts, as it maintains the relationship between the resource and the archeological context. In place preservation also reduces the potential for conflicts with the religious or cultural values of groups associated with the resource. Other mitigation options include, but are not limited to, the full or partial removal and curation of the resource. d. The City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department shall confirm that the project applicant(s) have retained a qualified archeologist for the preparation and implementation of the data recovery plan, which shall be conducted by prior to any additional earth-moving activities in the area of the resource. The recovery plan shall be submitted to the project applicant, the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department, and the NWIC. Once the recovery plan is reviewed and approved by the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department and any appropriate resource recovery completed, project construction activity within the area of the find may resume. A data recovery plan shall not be required for resources that have been deemed by the NWIC as adequately recorded and recovered by studies already completed. (General Plan Mitigation Measure 4.5-1a) [SDR][PLANNING] 83. Training for Cultural Resources — Prior to the issuance of grading permits within the plan area, the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department shall confirm that any development applicant has required all construction crews to undergo adequate training for the identification of federal or state-eligible cultural resources, and that the construction crews are aware of the potential for previously undiscovered archaeological resources within the plan area, of the laws protecting these resources and associated penalties, and of the procedures to follow should they discover cultural resources during project related work. To the extent that individual development projects are found to have the potential to disturb or destroy archaeological resources, subsequent environmental documentation may be required, including mitigation measures to address any identified significant impacts. (General Plan Mitigation Measure 4.5-1b) 84. Sensitive Paleontological Resources — Prior to the issuance of grading or demolition permits, the applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist to assess individual development project proposals within the plan area for the potential to destroy unique paleontological resources. The City Planning, Housing and Economic Development Department shall require development proposals entailing significant earthworks or deep foundations with the potential to penetrate sedimentary rock layers to incorporate a study by a professional paleontologist to assess the potential for damage of paleontological resources. Should the paleontologist determine that the proposal has the potential to damage resources, the study shall include detailed provisions for the protection of these resources to the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department.
