The WEAP training shall include a review of <br />applicable federal, State, and local regulations related to <br />paleontological resources; recognition and understanding of <br />significant paleontological resources pertinent to the geography and <br />geology of the region and the types of paleontological resources that <br />may be encountered; procedures to be followed in the event that <br />such resources are encountered; the protocols that apply in the <br />event of inadvertent discovery, including who to contact and <br />appropriate avoidance measures until the find(s) can be properly <br />evaluated and any other appropriate protocols. In the event <br />construction crews are phased in, additional training will be <br />conducted for new construction personnel <br />Planning Division <br />for review and <br />approval; review of <br />WEAP training <br />prepared by a <br />qualified <br />professional <br />Paleontologist <br />meeting Society of <br />Vertebrate <br />Paleontology (SVP) <br />standards and field <br />verification. <br />ground-disturbing <br />activities. <br />Department Planning <br />Division; SVP- <br />qualified PRM <br />MM GEO-6c: During ground-disturbing construction activities, full <br />time paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified <br />Paleontological Resource Monitor meeting SVP standards and best <br />practices, under the supervision of the Principal Paleontologist. <br />Monitoring shall be restricted to areas that intrude into the <br />Claremont shale and Monterey formations (i.e., generally below 2 <br />feet) and undisturbed subsurface areas of marine sedimentary rock <br />units of Miocene-age. In the event potentially significant <br />paleontological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing <br />activities, construction-related activities within 50 feet of the find <br />shall stop. No excavation or other disturbances shall occur within the <br />buffer zone until the find has been evaluated by the project <br />Paleontologist. The Paleontologist shall collect samples of sediments <br />which are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates, <br />vertebrates, or microfossils. If the resources are found to be <br />significant, protocol for collecting and processing sediments and <br />specimens, as outlined in the Paleontological Resource Impact <br />Mitigation Monitoring Program (PRIMMP), is to be implemented. The <br />Paleontologist shall have the power to temporarily halt or divert <br />grading equipment to allow for removal of abundant or large <br />specimens. If no significant specimens are encountered during <br />ground-disturbing activities, full time monitoring can be reduced to <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Community <br />Development <br />Department <br />Planning Division <br />for review and <br />approval; review of <br />documentation <br />prepared by a <br />qualified <br />professional <br />Paleontologist and <br />Paleontological <br />Resource Monitor, <br />and field <br />verification and site <br />inspections. <br />During <br />ground-disturbing <br />construction <br />activities. <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Community <br />Development <br />Department Planning <br />Division; SVP- <br />qualified PRM <br />
