should be stopped within 50 feet of any discovery until a proposal for the evaluation of the resource as required by CEQA guidelines has been submitted to the lead agency for approval. If evaluation of the resource through a program of hand excavation demonstrates that the resource is eligible for inclusion on the California Register of Historic Resources, a proposal for mitigation of impacts to the resource should be submitted to the lead agency for approval before work is allowed to recommence in the area of recorded archaeological deposit. b. In the event that historic archaeological deposits are uncovered during site monitoring, work should be halted within 20 feet of any discovery until the deposit has been evaluated for potential significance through a program of hand excavation if necessary. If it is determined that the deposit qualifies for inclusion on the California Register, a plan for mitigation of impacts to the resource should be submitted to the lead agency for approval before any actual mitigation efforts are undertaken prior to the continuation of grading operations. Mitigation can include the recording in situ and/or removal of additional historical materials by an archaeological team for later analysis combined with continued monitoring of earthmoving activities in the vicinity of any discovery.
