Unanticipated Discovery of Archaeological Resources. All construction crew members shall be alerted to the potential to encounter sensitive archaeological material. In fhe event that archaeological resources (sites, features, or artifacts) are exposed during construction activities for fhe proposed project, all construction work occurring within 100 feet of the find shall immediately stop until a qualified archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards, can evaluafe the significance of fhe find and determine whether additional study is warranted. Prehistoric archaeological deposits may be indicated by the presence of discolored or dark soil, fire-affected material, concentrations of fragmented or whole marine shell, burned or complete bone, non-local lithic materials, or a characteristic observed to be atypical of the surrounding area. Common prehistoric artifacts may include modified or battered lithic materials; lithic or bone tools that appeared to have been used for chopping, drilling, or grinding; projectile poinfs; fired clay ceramics or non-funcfional items; and other items. Historic-age deposits are often indicated by the presence of glass bottles and shards, ceramic maferial, building or domestic refuse, ferrous metal, or old features such as concrete foundations or privies. Depending on the significance of the find under CEQA (14 CCR 15064.5(f]; Public Resources Code Secfion 21082), the archaeologist may simply record the find and allow work to confinue. If the discovery proves significant under CEQA, additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological treatment plan, testing, or data recovery, may be warranfed. 47. Unanficipafed Discovery of Human Remains. In accordance with Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, if human remains are found, the county coroner shall be immediately notified of the discovery. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected fo overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the county coroner has determined, within 2 working days of notification of the discovery, the appropriate freatment and �� Re ister online to receive Cit of Burlin ame e-mail u dates at www.burlin ame.or "'�;;. 9� Y 9 P 9 9:: DocuSign Envelope ID: 9DE8CDD8-6010-4056-A7B7-OBB8AA256026 February 25, 2022 1431 EI Camino Real Page 6 disposition of the human remains. If the county coroner determines thaf the remains are, or are believed to be, Native American, he or she shall notify fhe Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento wifhin 24 hours. In accordance wifh California Public Resources Code, Section 5097.98, the NAHC must immediately notify fhose persons it believes to be the most likely descendant from the deceased Native American. The most likely descendant shall complete his/her inspection within 48 hours of being granted access fo the site. The designated Native American representative would then determine, in consultation with the property owner, the disposition of the human remains. 48. Unanticipated Discovery of Paleontological Resources. Paleontological resources are limifed, nonrenewable resources of scientific, cultural, or educational value and are afforded protection under state laws and regulations (CEQA). Paleontological resources are explicitly afforded protection by CEQA, specifically in Section V(c) of CEQA Guidelines Appendix G, the Environmental Checklist Form, which addresses the potential for adverse impacts fo "unique paleonfological resource(s] or site(sJ or ... unique geological feature(s]" (14 CCR 15000 et seq.). Further, CEQA provides that, generally, a resource shall be considered "hisforically significant" if if has yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory (14 CCR 15064.5(aJ(3](Dj). In the event fhat paleontological resources (silicified shell, bone, or other features) are exposed during construction activifies for the proposed project, all construction work occurring within 100 feet of the find shall immediately stop until a qualified paleontologist can evaluate the significance of the find. This analysis shall comply with guidelines and significance criteria specified by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. lf the discovery proves significant under CEQA, additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological freatment plan, testing, or data recovery, may be warranted. Noise 49. The project sponsor shall refain a qualified acoustical engineer to prepare an acoustical study in accordance with Sfate Title 24 requirements. The acoustical study shall identify mefhods of design and construction to comply with the applicable portions of the California Building Code Title 24 to achieve an indoor noise level of 45 A-weighfed decibel community noise equivalent level or /ess from traffic noise sources. 50. All construction equipment shall use available noise-suppression devices and properly maintained mufflers. All infernal combustion engines used on the project site shall be equipped with the fype of muffler recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, all equipment shall be maintained in a good mechanical condifion to minimize noise created by a faulty or poorly maintained engine, drive train, or other component. 51. During construction, stationary construcfion equipment shall be placed such thaf emitted noise is directed away from sensifive noise receptors and as far as possible from fhe boundary of sensitive receptors. 52. Pursuant fo the City of Burlingame Municipal Code, the applicant shall limit construction activities to between S a.m. and 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 6 p. m.
