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