a,7.A. - Page 81 and appendix 21.7 (Peer Review of Ampex Property), which are hereby incorporated by reference. Impact: Impact 14-2: Potential Disturbance of Archaeological or Paleontological Resources. Project construction (e.g., excavation for underground parking and utilities) could disturb existing unrecorded sensitive archaeological or paleontological resources at the development site. Mitigation: Mitigation 14-2. The project applicant shall carry out the following measures, which shall be at least as protective as those listed in the City's Cultural Resources Management Plan: (1) Construction Personnel Education Program. The project applicant shall implement an education program, prepared by a qualified archaeologist and a qualified paleontologist, for construction personnel that includes the following elements: ■ Resource identification training procedures for construction personnel; ■ Procedures for coordinating work with the archaeological monitor (see below); and ■ Procedures for reporting discoveries. (2) Procedures for Resources Encountered During Construction. The project applicant shall provide an Archaeological Monitoring and Data Recovery Program (AMDRP) prepared by a qualified archaeologist and outlining procedures for resources encountered during construction. The AMDRP shall include specific measures to insure 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. (3) 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 AMDRP, including measures set forth in the City's CRMP 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 ATTY/RES0.2901/STANFORD EIR CERTIFICATION REV:08-29-13 VR Page 15 of 55
