5.0 Environmental Setting 5.3 Cultural/Historical Resources <br />Avion Project SEIR <br />Page 5.3-16 <br /> B. Discovery Notification Process <br />1. In the event of a discovery, the Archaeological Monitor shall direct the contractor to <br />temporarily divert all soil disturbing activities, including but not limited to digging, <br />trenching, excavating or grading activities in the area of discovery and in the area <br />reasonably suspected to overlay adjacent resources and immediately notify the RE or <br />BI, as appropriate. <br />2. The Monitor shall immediately notify the PI (unless Monitor is the PI) of the <br />discovery. <br />3. The PI shall immediately notify MMC by phone of the discovery, and shall also submit <br />written documentation to MMC within 24 hours by fax or email with photos of the <br />resource in context, if possible. <br />4. No soil shall be exported off-site until a determination can be made regarding the <br />significance of the resource specifically if Native American resources are <br />encountered. <br /> C. Determination of Significance <br />1. The PI and Native American consultant/monitor, where Native American resources <br />are discovered shall evaluate the significance of the resource. If Human Remains are <br />involved, follow protocol in Section IV below. <br />a. The PI shall immediately notify MMC by phone to discuss significance <br />determination and shall also submit a letter to MMC indicating whether <br />additional mitigation is required. <br />b. If the resource is significant, the PI shall submit an Archaeological Data Recovery <br />Program (ADRP) which has been reviewed by the Native American <br />consultant/monitor, and obtain written approval from MMC. Impacts to <br />significant resources must be mitigated before ground disturbing activities in the <br />area of discovery will be allowed to resume. Note: If a unique archaeological site <br />is also an historical resource as defined in CEQA, then the limits on the amount(s) <br />that a project applicant may be required to pay to cover mitigation costs as <br />indicated in CEQA Section 21083.2 shall not apply. <br />c. If the resource is not significant, the PI shall submit a letter to MMC indicating <br />that artifacts will be collected, curated, and documented in the Final Monitoring <br />Report. The letter shall also indicate that that no further work is required.
