e. If an intact archaeological deposit were to be encountered, all soils disturbing <br />activities in the vicinity of the deposit shall cease. The City shall empower the <br />archaeological monitor to temporally redirect demolition/excavation/ <br />construction crews and heavy equipment until the resource is evaluated. The <br />archaeological consultant shall immediately notify the Director of the <br />Community Development of the encountered 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 and <br />resources as found and shall apply suitable open space, capping, or <br />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 the <br />site, evaluate the site for historical references, recover artifacts as 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 and <br />recover the cultural resources as described above and remove artifacts <br />as necessary., However, due to the depth of development excavation, <br />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 />If human remains are discovered, the Project Developer shall contact the County <br />Coroner immediately. If the coroner determines that the human remains are <br />Native American remains, the Project Developer shall notify the California State <br />Native American Heritage Commission. <br />The archaeological consultant shall prepare a Final Archaeological Resources <br />Report, meeting City and state standards, evaluating the historical importance of <br />the archaeological resource and describing the archaeological and historical <br />research methods employed in the testing, monitoring, and data recovery <br />29 <br />
