Re: Carlsbad Golf Course - Cultural Resource Testing Scope of Work and Cost Estimate
Dear Tim:
Gallegos & Associates has completed the litpture review and field survey. As i result of this work, 13 cultural resources were identified. It appears that 5 of the 12 cultural resources are not significant. The remaining eight cultural resources will neec testing to determine site importance/significance under City of Carlsbad and CEQA criter2 (see attached tables). I have enclosed the following: 1) a map showing site locations; 2:
table identifying present status of the 13 cultural resources; 3) testing scope of work; and 4: cost estimate to complete archaeological testing for the eight cultural resources. The scopt of work includes surface collection of artifacts, recording of milling features, excavation oj shovel test pits and 1x1 meter units to determine site size, depth, content, integrity anc potential to address important research questions.
The final cultural resource report will include survey and test results. The cost to completc this work is estimated to not exceed $43,426.00 and all work will be completed withir approximately 8 to 10 weeks from contract approval. Please call me should you neec additional information.

Re: Carlsbad Golf Additional Surveys
Dear Tim:
~ Thank you for again considering Merkel & Associates for additional work on the Carlsbad
project. We have'considered the specific additional studies necessary to provide a thorough cow
of critical biological issues to enable the project to proceed in a timely fashion. Five tasks COVI
nine focused sensitive species smeys have been identified; they rely on early identification of sen!
plant and animal concerns, and taking advantage of seasonal requirements for specific surveys. A
proposal for the various tasks outlined in this coping letter follows as ag attachment.
TASK 1: Sensitive Plant Surveys - Four Species
This task includes a sensitive plant survey of the site for the California listed endangered
Diego Thomm.int (&znthominntha Zc;fal;a), the federally and state endangered Thread-leaf Sroc
(Brodiueuflfilifoliu), the federally endangered Orcutt's Spmeflower (Chorizanthe orcuttiam), and C1
sensitive Blochman's Dudleya (Dudleya bzochmaniae). All of these plants are ephemerd and ca~
difficult to survey for outside of spring and early summer. , Each of these species has a narrow wig
during which the plant flowers and is more readily identified. The spineflower and dudleya
minuscule species and require considerable patience and thorough site explorations. As a result
are proposing six surveys occurring every two weeks covering the flowering period of all four of tl
species from mid-March through the end of May. This should enable us to carefully assess the e1
site as well as take into account variability due to rainfall and environmental factors. Blochxa
Dudleya is known to occur off-site within a short distance of the eastern boundary of the study arc
TASK 2: California Gnatcatcher and Burrowing Owl Surveys
Extensive areas of sage scrub were observed during previous field studies on-site,
gnatcatcher locations noted the general resources survey's. All suitable habitat will be re-examined
the federally threatened California Gnatcatcher (Poliuptila californica) utilizing standard USF
protocol. These require three separate site visits at least one week apart. Two biologists are propo
to conduct the work given the logistics of covering the sage scrub patches within this large site dur
a single field day. Jn addition, nocturnal studies for the regionally sensitive Burrowing Owl (Ath
cunicularia) will be conducted following recommended survey protocol. Two night surveys and I
day survey are proposed. Possible evidence of Burrowing Owls was seen in the grasslands in
southwestern portion of the site during spring 1997 studies.

ephemeral basins, particularly when vernal pools are situated nearby and eggs can thereby
transported a short distance into the artificial basins. Natural vernal pools are situated off-site, upsk
both inside and outside the fenceline for the Palomar Airport. Pools of a depth of 2.5 cm of stam
