potential nesting bird habitat disturbances, shall be conducted outside of the avian
nesting season (February 1 st through August 31 st). If habitat must be cleared during
the nesting season, a preconstruction nesting bird survey shall be conducted. The
preconstruction nesting bird survey must be conducted by a biologist who holds a
Page 15 of 62
A. The project paleontologist shall participate in a pre -construction project meeting
with development staff and construction operations to ensure an understanding of
any mitigation measures required during construction, as applicable.
B. Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be conducted on an as -
needed basis by the project paleontologist during all earthmoving activities that
may expose sensitive strata. Earthmoving activities in areas of the project area
where previously undisturbed strata will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will
not be monitored. The project paleontologist or his/her assign will have the
authority to reduce monitoring once he/she determines the probability of
encountering fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
C. If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving activities will be
diverted temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have been evaluated
and recovered. Earthmoving will be allowed to proceed through the site when the
project paleontologist determines the fossils have been recovered and/or the site
mitigated to the extent necessary.
D. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the project
paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the fossil site
and the project paleontologist called to the site immediately to recover the remains.
E. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered from the
fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil remains. Test
samples may be recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit if appropriate.
F. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and
identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists.
The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled with museum* repository
fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate;
places in specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with completed specimen data
cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data and corresponding geologic
and geographic site data will be archived (specimen and site numbers and
corresponding data entered into appropriate museum repository catalogs and
computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a laboratory technician.
The remains will then be accessioned into the museum* repository fossil
collection, where they will be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with
associated specimen and site data, made available for future study by qualified
scientific investigators.
*The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil
material prior to being curated.
G. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made during all site
grading activity with an appended itemized list of fossil specimens recovered
during grading (if any). This report shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department for review and approval prior to building final inspection
as described elsewhere in these conditions.
