City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project Errata Final EIR 5-16 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480016 Sec05-00 Errata.docx Monitoring Program (PRIMMP). The project proponent/developer shall submit the PRIMMP to and receive approval from the City/Lead Agency. The PRIMMP will describe, in addition to industry standards and SVP standards, the level of monitoring required in the project area, qualifications of the Paleontological monitor for grading operations, and identification of personnel with authority and responsibility to temporarily halt or divert grading equipment to allow for recovery of large specimens. Furthermore, the PRIMMP shall provide direction for any fossil discoveries to be immediately reported, means and methods to be employed to quickly salvage fossils as they are unearthed to avoid construction delays, sampling procedures and protocol for collecting and processing sediments and specimens, fossil identification, and reporting and curation procedures to be employed. The report will include the paleontological records search conducted at the UCMP, pertinent exhibits, maps and reference procedures for reporting of findings. MM GEO-26b On the first day of ground disturbance and prior to the start of any ground- disturbing activities, the qualified professional Paleontologist that meets SVP Standard Procedures shall prepare and conduct a project-wide Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training. The WEAP training shall include a review of applicable federal, State, and local regulations related to paleontological resources; recognition and understanding of significant paleontological resources pertinent to the geography and geology of the region and the types of paleontological resources that may be encountered; procedures to be followed in the event that such resources are encountered; the protocols that apply in the event of inadvertent discovery, including who to contact and appropriate avoidance measures until the find(s) can be properly evaluated and any other appropriate protocols. In the event construction crews are phased in, additional training will be conducted for new construction personnel. MM GEO-26c During ground-disturbing construction activities, full time paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified Paleontological Resource Monitor meeting SVP standards and best practices, under the supervision of the Principal Paleontologist. Monitoring shall be restricted to areas that intrude into the Claremont shale and Monterey formations (i.e., generally below 2 feet) and undisturbed subsurface areas of marine sedimentary rock units of Miocene-age. In the event potentially significant paleontological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, construction-related activities within 50 feet of the find shall stop. No excavation or other disturbances shall occur within the buffer zone until the find has been evaluated by the project Paleontologist. The Paleontologist shall collect samples of sediments which are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates, vertebrates, or microfossils. If the resources are found to be significant, protocol for collecting and processing sediments and specimens, as outlined in the Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Monitoring Program (PRIMMP), is to be implemented. The Paleontologist shall have the power to temporarily halt or divert grading equipment to allow for removal of abundant or
