To ensure recovery of fossil remains before <br />they are lost or destroyed, the following additional measures shall be <br />implemented for the Elan Project and for any projects within the MEMU Overlay <br />Zone Expansion Area that have potential to disturb sediments with high <br />paleontological sensitivity below the uppermost few feet of surface sediments: <br />• All construction activities with potential to disturb sediments below the <br />uppermost few feet of surface sediments shall be monitored by an Orange <br />t <br />County -certified professional paleontologist (qualified paleontologist). <br />• A qualified paleontologist shall attend preconstruction meetings to consult <br />with the grading and excavation contractors concerning excavation <br />schedules, paleontological field techniques, and safety issues.
