Finger, PhD, on October 12, 2022 (Appendix E).51 The project site, and most of the surrounding half-mile search area consists of undivided Holocene-Pleistocene deposits (Qu). Excavations related to the proposed project could impact previously undisturbed Pleistocene deposits, which have a high paleontological sensitivity.52 In addition, the records search found that four vertebrate localities were discovered within 4 miles of the project site in the past. As such, paleontological monitoring of excavations in previously undisturbed subsurface deposits is recommended for this project. This is included as Measures to be Implemented in Compliance with the Prior EIR. Prior mitigation provided by the Prior EIR, MM GEO-4.D, adequately addresses concerns of paleontological resource preservation and recovery in the case of a possible paleontological resource encounter during excavation of the proposed project. As such, impacts would continue to be less than significant with the implementation of this mitigation, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Prior EIR. Mitigation Measures Prior EIR Mitigation Measures MM-4.D-3 In the event that paleontological resources are encountered during the course of development, all construction activity must temporarily cease in the affected area(s) until the uncovered fossils are properly assessed by a qualified Paleontologist and subsequent recommendations for appropriate documentation and conservation are evaluated by the Lead Agency. Excavation or disturbance may continue in other areas of the site that are not reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent or additional paleontological resources. Uniformly Applied Measures to be Implemented in Compliance with the Prior EIR Measure 1 Prior to issuance of preliminary grading permits, the project applicant shall incorporate all recommendations provided in the appended Geotechnical Engineering Report into project plans. The Geotechnical recommendations outlined on page 6 through page 17 of the Geotechnical Exploration that shall be implemented include foundation systems, earthwork recommendations for site preparation, subgrade preparation, fill materials, compaction, grading, drainage, 51 Finger, Kenneth L.
