Prior to commencement of grading activities, the City of Victorville (City) Community Development Director, or designee, shall verify that all project grading and construction plans include specific requirements regarding California PRC (Section 21083.2[g]) and the treatment of archaeological resources as specified above.
40.(CUL-2) Unknown Cultural Resources. In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of the Interior Professional Qualification Standards shall be hired to assess the find.
Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, the cultural resources offices of the consulting tribes (Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians) shall be contacted, as detailed within Mitigation Measure TCR-1, regarding any pre-contact finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find in order to obtain Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment of the find.
41.(CUL-3) Unknown Pre-contact Cultural Resources. If significant pre-contact cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to the consulting tribes (Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians) for review and comment, as detailed within TCR-1. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and implement the plan accordingly.
42.(CUL-4) Inadvertent Discovery Human Remains or Funerary Objects. If human remains or funerary objects are encountered during any activities associated with the project, work in the immediate vicinity (within a 100-foot buffer of the find) shall cease and the County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and that code enforced for the duration of the project.
43.(CUL-5) Inadvertent Discovery Human Remains. If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. The County Coroner shall be notified of the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be prehistoric, the Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which shall determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD 13 shall complete the inspection within 48 hours of notification by the NAHC. The MLD may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials.
44.(GEO-1) Implementation of Geotechnical Evaluation Recommendations.

45.(GEO-2) Paleontological Resources. Prior to the commencement of grounddisturbing activities, a qualified, professional paleontologist who meets the standards set by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) shall be retained to develop a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for this project. The PRIMP shall be consistent with the guidelines of the SVP and shall include the methods that will be used to protect paleontological resources that may exist within the project limits, as well as procedures for monitoring, fossil preparation and identification, curation into a repository, and preparation of a report at the conclusion of ground disturbance. If ground-disturbing activities occur in deposits with high paleontological sensitivity (i.e., Older Alluvial Fan Deposits, Unit 2), those activities shall be monitored by a qualified paleontological monitor following the PRIMP. If paleontological resources are encountered during the course of ground disturbance, the paleontological monitor shall have the authority to temporarily redirect construction away from the area of the find in order to assess its significance. Once soils have been monitored during the excavation stage and determined to lack the presence of paleontological resources, monitoring of these soils would no longer be necessary for the remainder of grading activities. Paleontological monitoring can be reduced at the discretion of the qualified Project Paleontologist. In the event that paleontological resources are encountered when a paleontological monitor is not present, work in the immediate area of the find shall be redirected and the paleontologist or paleontological monitor shall be contacted to assess the find for scientific significance. If determined to be scientifically significant, the fossil shall be collected from the field. Scientifically significant paleontological resources that are collected shall be prepared to the point of identification, identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible, cataloged, and curated into the permanent collections of a museum repository. At the conclusion of the monitoring program, a report of findings shall be prepared to document the results of the monitoring program.
