due to their high paleontological sensitivity for significant resources, applicants, owners and/or sponsors of all future development or construction projects shall be required to perform or provide paleontological monitoring, if recommended by the qualified paleontologist. Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the discovered paleontological resources until a professional paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources and, if deemed significant, such resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be responsible for diverting project work and providing the assessment including retaining a professional paleontologist for such purpose. Collected fossils shall be deposited by the applicant/owner/sponsor in an appropriate repository (e.g., University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), California Academy of Sciences) where the collection shall be properly curated and made available for future research. In addition, in accordance with the FEIR Mitigation Measures, additional site-specific technical studies were completed, the results of which are documented in the Section 15183 Checklist. The project shall implement the following project-specific requirements, pursuant to the respective FEIR Mitigation Measures listed, and in accordance with the technical studies. For the remaining Mitigation Measures listed above, the technical studies and Section 15183 Checklist conclude that no further study or project-specific implementation is needed: A. Project-Specific Implementation Measures for Compliance with MM Bio-1: • General Avoidance and Minimization Measures Included in the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy (EACCS) – The EACCS contains the following general avoidance and minimization measures to reduce the effects on focal species. These measures are taken from Table 3-2: of the EACCS (ICF 2010). o Employees and contractors performing construction activities will receive environmental sensitivity training. Training will include review of environmental laws and Avoidance and Minimization Measures (AMMs) that must be followed by all personnel to reduce or avoid effects on covered species during construction activities. o Environmental tailboard trainings will take place on an as‐needed basis in the field. The environmental tailboard trainings will include a brief review of the biology of the covered species and guidelines that must be followed by all personnel to reduce or avoid negative effects to these species during construction activities. Directors, Managers, Superintendents, and the crew foremen and forewomen will be responsible for ensuring that crewmembers comply with the guidelines. o Contracts with contractors, construction management firms, and subcontractors will obligate all contractors to comply with these requirements, and AMMs. o The following will not be allowed at or near work sites for covered activities: trash dumping, firearms, open fires (such as barbecues) not required by the activity, hunting, and pets (except for safety in remote locations). o Vehicles and equipment will be parked on pavement, existing roads, and previously disturbed areas to the extent practicable. o Off-road vehicle travel will be minimized. o Vehicles will not exceed a speed limit of 15 mph on unpaved roads within natural land‐cover types, or during off‐road travel. o Vehicles or equipment will not be refueled within 100 feet of a wetland, stream, or
