• - Mitigation Measures ~ <br />The mitigation measures below would be required if plans <br />indicate that excavation activities-for the proposed project <br />would exceed 5 feet in depth. <br />• Prior to any earth-moving activity in the parcel, a <br />vertebrate paleontologist retained by the developer and <br />approved by the City of Santa Ana shall develop a storage <br />agreement with the LACMVP, the County of Orange <br />paleontologic collection storage facility, or another <br />acceptable museum repository to allow for the permanent <br />storage and maintenance of any fossil remains recovered in <br />the parcel as a result of the monitoring program, and for <br />the archiving of associated specimen data and corresponding <br />geologic and geographic site data at the museum repository. <br />• The paleontologist shall develop a mitigation plan and a <br />discovery clause/treatment plan that, when implemented <br />during earth-moving activities in the parcel, shall allow <br />for the recovery and subsequent treatment of any fossil <br />remains and associated specimen and site data uncovered by <br />• these activities. <br />• The paleontologist and a paleontologic construction monitor <br />shall attend a pregrading meeting to explain the monitoring <br />program to grading contractor staff and to develop <br />procedures and lines of communication to be implemented if <br />fossil remains are uncovered by earth-moving activities, <br />particularly when a monitor is not on site. <br />• Paleontologic monitoring of earth-moving activities <br />(particularly trenching) will be conducted by the monitor <br />on a full-time basis once these activities have exceeded a <br />depth 5 feet below current grade. Earth-moving activities <br />in areas of the parcel where previously undisturbed strata <br />will be buried but otherwise not disturbed shall not be <br />monitored. Monitoring shall include the inspection of <br />debris piles generated by trenching and other earth-moving <br />activities at depths greater than 5 feet below current <br />grade. <br />• If fossil remains are found by the monitor, earth-moving <br />activities will be diverted temporarily around the fossil <br />site until .the remains have been recovered and these <br />• activities allowed to proceed through the site by the <br />monitor. <br />lu ~~e~~L v <br />
