If too few or no fossil remains are found after 50 percent <br />of earth-moving activities in areas of the parcel underlain <br />by a particular rock unit have been completed, monitoring <br />can be reduced or discontinued in the 'remaining areas of <br />the parcel where underlain by the same rock unit. <br /> <br />If fossil remains are encountered by earth-moving <br />activities when the monitor is not on site, these <br />activities shall be diverted around'the fossil site and the <br />monitor called to the site immediately to recover the <br />remains. <br /> <br />If fossil remains are found, up to 6,000 pounds (3 tons) of <br />fossiliferous rock shall be recovered from the fossil site <br />and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil <br />remains. Test samples may be recovered from other sampling <br />sites in the rock unit. The total Weight of all processed <br />samples from the parcel shall not exceed 6,000 pounds. <br /> <br />Any recovered fossil remains shall be prepared to the point <br />of identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic <br />level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. The <br />remains then shall be curated (assigned and labeled with <br />museum repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding <br />fossil site numbers, as appropriate; placed in specimen <br />trays and, if necessary, vials with completed specimen data <br />cards) and catalogued, and associated specimen data and <br />corresponding geologic and geographic site data shall be <br />archived (specimen and site numbers and corresponding data <br />entered into appropriate.'museum repository catalogs and <br />computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a <br />laboratory technician. The remains then shall be <br />accessioned into the museum repository fossil collection, <br />for permanent storage, maintained, and, along with <br />associated specimen and site data, made available for <br />future study by qualified scientific investigators. <br /> <br />A final report of results and findings shall be prepared by <br />the paleontologist for submission to the City of Santa Ana <br />and the museum repository following accessioning of the <br />proposed project fossil collection into the museum <br />repository fossil collection. The report shall describe <br />the geology and stratigraphy of the parcel, summarize field <br />and laboratory methods used, include a faunal list and an <br />inventory of catalogued fossil specimens, evaluate the <br /> <br />31,A. <br /> <br />Page 72 <br /> <br /> <br />
