c. The archaeological monitor shall be present on the Staples Ranch site until <br />the Director of Community Development, in consultation with the <br />archaeological consultant, determines that project construction activities <br />could have no effects on significant archaeological resources. <br />d. The archaeological monitor shall record and be authorized to collect soil <br />samples and artifactual/ecofactual material as warranted for analysis. <br />e. If an intact archaeological deposit were to be encountered, all soils <br />disturbing activities in the vicinity of the deposit shall cease. The City shall <br />empower the archaeological monitor to temporally redirect <br />demolition/excavation/construction crews and heavy equipment until the <br />resource is evaluated. The archaeological consultant shall immediately <br />notify the Director of the Community Development of the encountered <br />resources. <br />Should archaeological resources be encountered during construction, the <br />project developer shall consult with City and tribal representatives to <br />determine the appropriate disposition of findings. Mitigation measures shall <br />include one of the three alternatives below: <br />(i.) In -Situ Preservation: The project developer shall preserve artifacts <br />and resources as found and shall apply suitable open space, capping, <br />or monumentation to the site. The project developer shall alter <br />development plans to accommodate this alternative, as necessary. <br />(ii.) Excavation/Recovery: The archaeological consultant shall excavate <br />the site, evaluate the site for historical references, recover artifacts as <br />appropriate, and cover the site to preserve remaining artifacts. The <br />project developer shall maintain sufficient buffering between <br />development subsurface construction and the location of resources. <br />(iii.) Excavation/Removal: The archaeological consultant shall excavate <br />and recover the cultural resources as described above and remove <br />artifacts as necessary. However, due to the depth of development <br />excavation, the site would be permanently disturbed. <br />If the City requires data recovery, the archaeological consultant shall first prepare <br />an Archaeological Data Recovery Plan that s/he shall submit to the Director of <br />Community Development for review and approval. <br />If development plans call for trenching within 200 feet of the Arroyo Mocho, a <br />program of subsurface mechanical trenching along the impacted route shall <br />precede project trenching in an attempt to locate additional archaeological sites <br />and/or the original meander of the Mocho, where such sites would most likely be. <br />If additional sites were to be found, the project developer shall adhere to the <br />above mitigation measures. <br />13 <br />
