that should a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geological feature be
identified at the proJect construction site during any phase of constructron, the project
manager shall cease all construction activities at the site of the discovery and
immediately notifi/ the City of Burlingame. The project sponsor shall retain a qualified
paleontologist to provide an evaluation of the find and to prescribe mitigation measures
to reduce impacts to a lessthan-significant level. Work may proceed on other parts of
the project site while mitigation for paleontological resources or geologic features is
carried out. The project sponsor shall be responsible for implementing any additional
mitigation measures prescribed by the paleontologist and approved by the City; and
that if human remains are discovered at any project construction site during any phase
of construction, all ground-disturbing activity within 100 feet of the resources shall be

assistance to the Most Likely Descendant, including the excavation and removal of the
human remains. The City of Burlingame shall be responsible for approval of
recommended mitigation as it deems appropriate, taking account of the provisions of
