RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2011-273 to approve and authorize a Pre-Excavation Agreement between the
City of Carlsbad and the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians for tribal monitoring during ground
disturbing construction activities for the Buena Vista Lift Station Forcemain, Reach VC4,
Project No. 5508.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The purpose of this Agreement is to formalize procedures for the treatment of Native American human
remains, grave goods, ceremonial items, and cultural items, in the event that any are found in
conjunction with the project's construction.
This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the mitigation measures required under the California
Environmental Quality Act for this project and the conditions of approval for this project.
The project involves the installation of a new parallel sewer forcemain that begins at the existing
Buena Vista Lift Station, located on the northeast corner of Jefferson Street and Buena Vista Creek,
and extends southwest within Jefferson Street to a point approximately 180 feet east of Interstate 5
for a total distance of approximately 4,200 linear feet.
A construction contract was awarded by the City Council through Resolution No. 2011-176 on July
26, 2011. A Notice to Proceed was subsequently issued on November 1, 2011.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
A Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were prepared for
the Buena Vista Lift Station Forcemain, Reach VC4. On November 4, 2009, the Planning Commission
adopted Resolution No. 6644 adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program and Resolution No. 6645 approving Coastal Development Permit (CDP 09-
03) and Resolution No. 6646, Special Use Permit (SUP 09-01) for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Vista and the City of Carlsbad entered into a Master Agreement for ownership, operation,
and maintenance of the Vista/Carlsbad Interceptor Sewer on February 26, 2002. According to the
agreement with the City of Vista, their share of this project is 89.6 percent and Carlsbad's share is
10.4 percent.

SUBJECT MATTER
This Agreement concerns a project known as Buena Vista Lift Station Forcemain ("Project"). The
Project is located in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California. The Project is
located on the northeast corner of Jefferson Street and Buena Vista Creek, and extending southwest
within Jefferson Street to a point approximately 180 feet east of Interstate 5 ("Project Site"). It is our
further understanding that the Project will consist of 3,350 linear feet of excavation, requiring
approximately 230 hours of mitigation monitoring.
Buena Vista Lift Station Forecemain
City of Carlsbad
Pre-Excavation Agreement
Page 1 of 9 San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians
The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office will be provided a copy of this Agreement. The City
of Carlsbad is also the Lead Agency for the Project ("Lead Agency"), and therefore responsible for the
environmental compliance of this Project and shall maintain a copy of this Agreement for those
purposes.
III. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to formalize procedures for the treatment of Native American
human remains, grave goods, ceremonial items, and cultural items, in the event that any are found in
conjunction with the Project's development, including archaeological studies, excavation, geotechnical
investigations, grading, and any ground-disturbing activity. This Agreement also formalizes procedures
for Tribal monitoring during archaeological studies, grading, and ground-disturbing activities for the
Project. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the mitigation measures required under the
California Environmental Quality Act, Cal. Public Resources Code §21000 et seq. ("CEQA") for this
Project and the conditions of approval for this Project. This Agreement is effective as of the date
provided for in Section XVI.
IV. CULTURAL AFFILIATION
The Parties agree that the Project area consists of land which has been traced to and traditionally
occupied by the San Luis Rey Band. The San Luis Rey Band has designated Saving Sacred Sites to act
on the Band's behalf with respect to the provisions of this Agreement. Any human remains, which are
found in conjunction with the development of this Project, will be treated in accordance with Section
VII of this Agreement. Any other cultural resources will be treated in accordance with Section VIII of
this Agreement.
V. MOST LIKELY DESCENDANT
In the event that Native American human remains are found during development of this Project,
the Parties understand that the determination of Most Likely Descendant ("MLD") under California
Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 will be made by the Native American Heritage Commission
("NAHC") upon notification to NAHC of the discovery of said remains at the Project site. Until such
time, neither the San Luis Rey Band nor the Developer guarantees that the San Luis Rey Band or one of
its members will be so named. However, given the location of the site and the history and prehistory of
the area, the Parties agree that their good faith belief is that, when and if such human remains are
discovered at the Project site, either Henry Contreras of the San Luis Rey Band or another member of
the San Luis Rey Band will be named MLD.
Should the NAHC determine that a member of an Native American tribe other than the San Luis
Rey Band is the MLD, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the treatment of such Native
American human remains will be null and void in their entirety, except that, in such an event, the
provisions of Addendum 1 to this Agreement, which is fully severable, will continue in full force and
effect.
Buena Vista Lift Station Forecemain Pre-Excavation Agreement
City of Carlsbad Page 2 of 9 San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians
VI. COORDINATION WITH COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE
The Lead Agency and the Developer will immediately contact the Medical Examiner and the San
Luis Rey Band in the event that any human remains are discovered during the development of the
Project. The Medical Examiner will ensure that notification is provided to the NAHC as required by
California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5.
VII. TREATMENT AND DISPOSITION OF REMAINS
In the event that Native American human remains are found during development of the Project
and the San Luis Rey Band or a member of the San Luis Rey Band is determined to be the MLD,
pursuant to Section V of this Agreement, the following provisions will apply. The San Luis Rey Band
will be allowed, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98(a), to:
(1) inspect the site of the discovery, and
(2) make determinations as to how the human remains and grave goods should be treated and
disposed of with appropriate dignity.
The San Luis Rey Band, pursuant to Section V of this Agreement, will complete its inspection
within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving notification of the MLD determination from either the
Developer or the NAHC.
In addition, pursuant to California Public Resources Code §5097.98(f), upon discovery of
multiple human remains, the Developer agrees to consult with the Tribe to consider appropriate
treatment of multiple human remains. Culturally appropriate treatment of such remains may be
ascertained from a review of the site utilizing cultural and archaeological standards. The Tribe
understands that consultation with the land owner would be required in discussing appropriate treatment.
The Parties agree to discuss in good faith what constitutes "appropriate dignity," as that term is
used in the applicable statutes and in the San Luis Rey Band's customs and traditions. Reburial of
human remains must be accomplished in compliance with the California Public Resources Code
Sections 5097.98(a) and (b). The San Luis Rey Band will have the final determination as to the
disposition and treatment of human remains and grave goods; however, this cannot include preservation
in-place or additional open space unless agreed to by the land owner.
The San Luis Rey Band may wish to rebury said human remains and grave goods or ceremonial
and cultural items on or near the site of their discovery, in an area which will not be subject to future
disturbances over a prolonged period of time. The Band will discuss with the land owner on-site
reburial, if necessary.
The term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones because the San Luis Rey
Band's traditions call for the ceremonial burning of human remains, associated funerary objects, and
animals. Ashes and other remnants of these burning ceremonies are to be treated in the same manner as
bones or bone fragments that remain intact.
Buena Vista Lift Station Forecemain Pre-Excavation Agreement
City of Carlsbad Page 3 of 9 San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians
Any cultural items found during the excavation should be returned to the Band and not curated in
any facility. The Band will discuss with the land owner appropriate reburial of items excavated and
when possible, such reburial should occur on the Project site.
VIII. TREATMENT OF CULTURAL ITEMS
Treatment of ceremonial and cultural items will reflect the religious beliefs, customs, and
practices of the San Luis Rey Band.
The Developer agrees to give all tribal ceremonial and cultural items which may be found at the
Project site to the San Luis Rey Band for appropriate treatment, unless the Developer is otherwise
ordered by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction. The Developer waives any and all claims to
ownership of Tribal ceremonial and cultural items that may be found on the Project site in favor of the
San Luis Rey Band. If temporary possession of ceremonial or cultural items (by an outside agency or
individual) is necessary as part of the Environmental Impact Review mitigation process, said agency or
individual will not possess those items for longer than is reasonably necessary. If temporary possession
of ceremonial or cultural items by an entity or individual other than the San Luis Rey Band is necessary,
said entity or individual shall not possess those items for longer than is reasonably necessary.
IX. NON-DISCLOSURE OF LOCATION OF REBURIALS AND CULTURAL ITEMS
It is understood by the Parties that, unless otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of
Native American human remains will not be disclosed and will not be governed by public disclosure
requirements of the California Public Records Act, Cal. Govt. Code §6250 et seq. The site of reburial
will be disclosed (if requested) to the entity ultimately responsible for managing all the Open Space
associated with the Project. The Medical Examiner will withhold public disclosure of information
related to such reburial pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code
Section 6254(r).
In addition, the Parties agree that, unless otherwise required by law, the location of any cultural
items associated with the Band which have been reburied pursuant to Section VII will not be disclosed
by either Party. However, the Band may disclose the location to other tribal members as necessary for
maintenance and preservation efforts.
X. WORK STATEMENT FOR TRIBAL MONITORS
The description of work for Tribal monitors of the grading and ground-disturbing operations at
the development site is attached hereto as Addendum 1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Addendum 1 specifies the geographical area over which this monitoring will be conducted, the size of
the monitoring crew, the powers of the monitoring crew, and provisions for compensation of the Tribal
monitors.

ADDENDUM 1
TRIBAL MONITORING Agreement
I. SPECIFICATIONS
Given the nature and sensitivity of the archaeological sites and cultural resources that are or may
be in the Project area, Saving Sacred Sites will refer Tribal monitors during the archaeological testing,
studies, and surveys and during mitigation, grading, and ground-disturbing activities for the Project.
Tribal monitors will work with the archaeological monitors to observe the grading of the Project. The
monitors are empowered to stop or relocate excavation activities for short periods of time to allow the
Project archaeologist to conduct controlled excavation for evaluation of the significance of discovered
cultural items. However, any recovery of artifacts or excavation for significance evaluations will be the
responsibility of the Project archaeologist. All surface or subsurface artifacts of significance must be
collected and mapped by the Project monitor. Tribal monitors will cooperate with the archaeological
monitor to locate all cultural materials exposed during grading.
Regarding grading activities, a pre-construction conference will be held by the Lead Agency and
the Developer to clarify monitoring specifications with the grading contractor and/or Project manager, as
well as the grading inspector of the jurisdiction in which the Project site is located. The San Luis Rey
Band or the San Luis Rey Band's designated representative will be invited to participate in this
conference.
Archaeological observation will consist of a qualified archaeologist present during grading
activities to identify and/or ascertain the significance of any subsurface cultural resources or to aid in the
avoidance of sensitive areas.
II. PROJECT TO BE MONITORED
Monitoring will encompass the Buena Vista Lift Station Forcemain and activities in conjunction
with the development of that Project. The Project is located in the City of Carlsbad, County of San
Diego, State of California. The Project Site is located in an area previously described in Section II of this
Agreement. It is agreed that monitoring will be allowed for all clearing, grubbing, excavation, trenching,
grading, preparation for infrastructure and other ground-disturbing activities, as well as archaeological
excavation conducted in conjunction with the grading activity associated with the development of the
Project, on and off-site.
III. PROJECT CREW SIZES
For purposes of determining Tribal monitoring crew sizes, a written schedule of excavation,
testing, grading, and other ground-disturbing activities will be submitted by the Developer to the San
Luis Rey Band or the San Luis Rey Band's designated representatives one week in advance of the
commencement of these activities.
The Parties to this Agreement anticipate the need for a Tribal monitoring crew consisting of one
(1) person. If the scope of work changes to require additional monitors (for example, if inadvertent
Buena Vista Lift Station Forecemain Pre-Excavation Agreement
City of Carlsbad Page 8 of 9 San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians
discoveries of cultural resources are made or simultaneous grading in two (2) different geographic areas
occurs), the Developer agrees to come to a reasonable agreement with the San Luis Rey Band regarding
compensation of more than one (1) monitor.
IV. COMPENSATION
Saving Sacred Sites will refer the Tribal monitoring crew for this Project and will be responsible
for coordinating their activities on this Project. Saving Sacred Sites recognizes that dangerous
conditions can exist at the Project work site, particularly during grading operations, and agrees to
assume responsibility for the safety of the Tribal monitoring crew while on the Project site. The
Developer will compensate the Tribal monitors at the rate of $50.00 per hour plus reimbursement for all
reasonable and documented mileage expenses at the mileage rate of $.55 cents per mile.
The hourly rate of compensation paid to the Tribal monitor will be adjusted for inflation based
on 2011 dollars. The adjustment, if any, will be calculated in accordance with the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Revised Consumer Price Index. Hourly rate
compensation adjustments will be made only once a year. For purposes of rate compensation
adjustment, a year commences on January 1st.
A minimum half-day charge ("show up time") will be charged to the Developer for unannounced
work stoppages of Tribal monitors which are not due to actions of the San Luis Rey Band. The hourly
rate will not be applicable to travel time to and from the Project site.
The Developer agrees that Saving Sacred Sites may invoice the Developer for the Tribal
monitors' compensation on a monthly basis. The Developer also agrees to remit payment in full to the
following address within thirty (30) days of receipt of Saving Sacred Sites' invoice:
