4855-3069-9660 v1 o Procedures for reporting discoveries. •Procedures for Resources Encountered During Construction. The project applicant shall provide an Archaeological Monitoring and Data Recovery Program prepared by a qualified archaeologist and outlining procedures for resources encountered during construction. The Archaeological Monitoring and Data Recovery Program shall include specific measures to ensure compliance with State Public Resources Code section 5097.98 and CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(d) and (e) in the event that human remains are encountered. •A qualified archaeological monitor will visit the site for spot-checks during excavations exceeding five feet in depth below current grade. •If subsurface archaeological resources are encountered, excavation shall halt in the vicinity of the resources, and the archaeological monitoring shall evaluate the resource and its stratigraphic context. The monitor shall be empowered to temporarily halt or redirect construction activities to ensure avoidance of adverse impacts to archaeological resources. •If disturbance of an archaeological resource cannot be avoided, the mitigation program described in the Archaeological Monitoring and Data Recovery Program, including measures set forth in the City’s Cultural Resources Management Plan and in compliance with sections 15064.5 and 15126.4 of the CEQA Guidelines, shall be implemented. •If subsurface paleontological resources are encountered, excavation shall halt in the vicinity of the resources and the project paleontologist shall evaluate the resource and its stratigraphic context. The monitor shall be empowered to temporarily halt or redirect construction activities to ensure avoidance of adverse impacts to paleontological resources. During monitoring, if potentially significant paleontological resources are found, “standard” samples shall be collected and processed by a qualified paleontologist to recover micro vertebrate fossils. If significant fossils are found and collected, they shall be prepared to a reasonable point of identification. Excess sediment or matrix shall be removed from the specimens to reduce the bulk and cost of storage. Itemized catalogs of material collected and identified shall be provided to a museum repository with the specimens. Significant fossils collected during this work, along with the itemized inventory of these specimens, shall be deposited in a museum repository for permanent curation and storage. A report documenting the results of the monitoring and salvage activities, and the significance of the fossils, if any, shall be prepared. •The report and inventory, when submitted to the lead agency, shall signify the completion of the program to mitigate impacts on paleontological resources. Precise Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 15-1: As recommended by the project's preliminary geotechnical investigations, prior to City issuance of grading permits for individual project construction phases, the applicant shall be required to retain a registered engineering geologist or geotechnical engi neer to prepare detailed, design-level geotechnical investigations to guide the design of all project grading and excavation activities. The detailed, design-level geotechnical investigations shall be performed for each of the structures proposed for the development site. Subsurface conditions shall be explored and laboratory tests conducted on selected soil samples to establish strength parameters for the design of excavations, retained slopes and fill placement, and to determine the corrosive potential of both Bay mud and imported fill on foundation elements and buried utilities.
