CR-4 <br /> <br />CR-5 <br /> <br />CR-6 <br /> <br />CR-7 <br /> <br />CR-8 <br /> <br />CR-9 <br /> <br />CR-IO <br /> <br />for the recovery and subsequent treatment of any fossil remains and associated <br />specimen and site data uncovered by these activities. <br /> <br />The paleontologist and a paleontologic construction monitor shall attend a pregrading <br />meeting to explain the monitoring program to grading contractor staff and to develop <br />procedures and lines of communication to be implemented if fossil remains are <br />uncovered by earth-moving activities, particularly when a monitor is not on site. <br /> <br />Paleontologic monitoring of earth-movir~g activities (particularly trenching) will be <br />conducted by the monitor on a full-time basis once these activities have exceeded a <br />depth 5 feet below current grade. Earth-moving activities in areas of the parcel <br />where previously undisturbed strata will be buried but otherwise not disturbed shall <br />not be monitored. Monitoring shall include the inspection of debris piles generated <br />by trenching and other earth-moving activities at depths greater than 5 feet below <br />current grade. <br /> <br />If fossil remains are found by the monitor, earth-moving activities will be diverted <br />temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have been recovered and these <br />activities allowed to proceed through the site by the monitor. <br /> <br />If too few or no fossil remains are found after 50 percent of earth-moving activities in <br />areas of the parcel underlain by a particular rock unit have been completed, <br />monitoring can be reduced or discontinued in the remaining areas of the parcel where <br />underlain by the same rock unit. <br /> <br />If fossil remains are encountered by earth-moving activities when the monitor is not <br />on site, these activities shall be diverted' around the fossil site and the monitor called <br />to the site immediately to recover the remains. <br /> <br />If fossil remains are found, up to 6,000 pounds (3 tons) of fossflfferous rock shall be <br />recovered from the fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil <br />remains. Test samples may be recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit. The <br />total weight of all processed samples fromthe parcel shall not exceed 6,000 pounds. <br /> <br />Any recovered fossil remains shall be prepared to the point of identification and <br />identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. <br /> <br /> <br />
