SUMMARY OF MITIGATION MEASURES
N-T In coordination with the Gitv enaineer, the broponent ot anv develooment brole all be required to apply non-toxic Soll stabilizers accoraina to manutacturer specifications for any inactive construction area to reduce emissions of particulate matter. graded area at which acacily has not occurred or is dor medra ays. Prasing y soil stabilization application shall be included in a project's erosion control plan (if applicable).
AQ-2 The proponent of any development project shall limit vehicle speeds within a construction site to 15 miles per hours on any unpaved roadway. Speed limits shall be clearly posted in a format to be determined by the Building Official. The project proponent shall convey speed limit information to all workers, AQ-3 In coordination with the City Engineer, the proponent of any development project shall be required to apply water active construction areas to reduce emissions of particulate matter at a minimum of three times per day. An active construction area is defined as any previously graded area on which activity has occurred within the ten days. Scheduling of water application shall be included in a project's erosion control plan (if applicable).
Alese articulate inter (sh) installed in actoraman rare specifications, as applicable. is defined as
construction equipment cable of having a DPF installed on it. Certification of use of DPFs in all applicable equipment shall be provided to the City's Building Official. The Building Official shall periodically inspect applicable construction equipment for compliance with this mitigation measure.
AQ-5 All applicable construction equipment shall have a properly operating Diesel Catalyst (DOC) installed in accordance with manufacturers' specifications. Certification of use of DOCs in all applicable equipment shall be provided to the City's Building Official. Applicable construction equipment is defined as any construction equipment capable of having a DOC installed on it.
The Building Official shall periodically inspect applicable construction equipment for compliance with this mitigation measure.
AQ-6 The proponent of a development project shall be required to utilize Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) architectural coating for all forms of coating application. A coating is defined as any material which is applied to a surface in Architectura
appurtenances, to mobile homes, to pavements, or to curbs. Low VOC coating shall have no more than 120 grams of VOC solids per liter as defined by th South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1113 (Architectural Coatings).
Paints and coating shall be applied either by hand or by high-volume, low- pressure spray. Certification of use of Low VOC architectural coatings shall be provided to the City's Building Official.
BR-1 A focused survey for burrowing owls shall be conducted by a qualified of two acres or larger, with a landscape of annual and perennial grasslands, desert, or arid scrubland with low-growing vegetation. The purpose of the survey -67-
is to determine if burrowing owls are foraging or nesting on or adjacent to the project site. If surveys confirm that the site is occupied habitat, mitigation measures to minimize impacts to burrowing, owls, their burrows and foraging habitat shall be identified. The results of this survey, including any mitigation recommendations, shall be incorporated into the project-level CEQA compliance documentation. Owl surveys and approaches to mitigation shall be in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, issued by the California Department of Fish and Game on October 17, 1995.
For development projects or land use plans in areas determined to have a high potential for archaeological resources as determined through field surveys required by the current General Plan and updated General Plan Policy 7-3.1, grading shall be monitored by trained archeological crews working under the direction ot a qualitied protessional, so that resources exposed during grading can be recovered and the scientifically important information preserved.
Archaeological monitors shall be equipped to recover resources as they are unearthed and to avoid construction delays. Monitors shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Qualified archaeological personnel shall prepare recoverec specimens to a point of identification and permanent preservation. Qualified archaeological personnel shall identify and curate specimens into the collections of an appropriate, established, and accredited museum repository with permanent retrievable archaeological storage as determined in consultation with the Development Services Director. Qualified archaeological personnel shall prepare a report of findings with an appendix itemized of specimens subsequent to implementation of curation. A preliminary report shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Director before granting of building a final report shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Director before granting of occupancy permits. n areas containing middle to late Pleistocene era sediments (Qof) where it is inknown if paleontological resources exist, field survevs prepared by a qualitier paleontological professional before grading shall be conducted to establish the need for paleontological monitoring. Should paleontological monitoring be required after recommendation by the professional paleontologist and approval by the Development Services Director, Mitigation Measure C-2 shall be implemented.
CR-3 A project that requires grading plans and is located in an area of known fossil occurrence or that has been demonstrated to have fossils present in a field survey as described in Mitigation Measures CR-2 shall have all grading monitored by trained paleontological crews working under the direction of a qualified professional, so that fossils exposed during grading can be recovered and preserved. Paleontological monitors shall be equipped to salvage fossils as they are unearthed, to avoid construction delays, and to remove samples of sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and vertebrates. Monitors shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Monitoring is not necessary if the potentially-fossilferous units described for the property in question are not present or if present are determined upon exposure and examination by qualified paleontological personnel to have low potential to contain fossil resources.
Should paleontological resources require recovery, Mitigation Measure C-4 shall be implemented.
CR-4 Qualified paleontological personnel shall prepare recovered specimens to a point -68-
of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates. Qualified paleontological personnel shall identify and curate specimens into the collections of the Division of Geological Sciences, Bernardino County Museum, an established, accredited museum repository with • permanent retrievable paleontological storage. The paleontologist must have a written repository agreement in hand prior to the initiation of mitigation activities. This measure is not considered complete until curation into an established museum repository has been fully completed and documented.
CR-5 Qualified paleontological personnel shall prepare a report of findings with an appendix : itemized of specimens subsequent to implementation of Mitigation Measure C-3. A preliminary report shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Director before granting of building permits and a final report shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Director before granting of occupancy permits.
N-1 All proposed residential units within areas identified by the City's General Plan Noise Element to exceed the 65 CNEL contour shall be required to provide project-level noise assessments for the City's review, as part of the development review process. Mitigation measures shall be incorporated into project site design and/or building construction to reduce noise exposures to levels considered acceptable, as defined in the State of California Interior and Exterior Noise Standards.
