We completed a cultural resources survey and auger testing for this project in January 2016, concluding that the potential to encounter archaeological resources was low and that on-site monitoring by an archaeologist was not needed. The following scope of work for on-call services is provided at your request. Trainina Workshop Tom Origer & Associates will conduct a training workshop for the contractor's crew regarding archaeological materials that could be encounter during the project. The workshop will cover: • Types of features and artifacts that could indicate an archaeological deposit. • Procedures to follow in case a find is made. • Reporting protocols. On-call Monitorine Approach Tom Origer & Associates will be on-call in the event that a possible archaeological deposit is encountered. Upon receiving a notification of a potential find, the following steps will be taken: • The archaeologist will direct work to another location while the find is evaluated for potential importance. • If the find is determined to lack potential importance, work in the area can resume. • If the find requires further evaluation, the site supervisor will be notified that work should not continue at the location of the find until the evaluation and possible mitigation is completed. • The appropriate City personnel will be apprised of the situation. www.oriyer.com P.O.
