Prior to the issuance of a grading permit and commencement of any ground disturbing activities, the project developer shall retain the services of a qualified archaeologist to monitor ground-disturbing activities. The applicant shall provide written verification that a qualified archaeologist has been retained to implement the monitoring program. The verification shall be presented in a letter from the project archaeologist to the lead agency. b. The qualified archaeologist shall attend a preconstruction meeting to consult with grading and excavation contractors concerning excavation schedules and safety issues; and to further explain and coordinate the requirements of the monitoring program. c. The qualified archaeologist shall be on-site during all grading, trenching, and other ground-disturbing activities unless otherwise agreed upon by the archaeologist and city staff. d. In the event any potential cultural resource is uncovered during the course of the project construction, ground-disturbing activities in the vicinity of the find shall be redirected until the nature and extent of the find can be evaluated by the archeologist. If cultural resources are encountered, the archaeologist shall have the authority to temporarily halt or redirect grading/trenching while the cultural resources are documented and assessed. If archaeological resources are encountered during excavation or grading, the archaeological monitor shall direct the contractor to avoid all work in the immediate area for a reasonable period of time to allow the archaeologist to evaluate the significance of the find and determine an appropriate course of action. The appropriate course of action may include, but not be limited to avoidance, recordation, relocation, excavation, documentation, curation, data recovery, or other appropriate measures.

November 21, 2018 -In a Final Summary dated November 21, 2018, Brian F. Smith & Associates Inc. indicated that the grading, excavations and earthmoving operations of the project revealed no fossils or fossiliferous sediments of any sort during monitoring. Similarly, no cultural resources of any sort were observed during monitoring. The following tribal cultural resource mitigation measures shall be I Prior to issuance of implemented: grading permit/on-going a. Prior to the commencement of any ground disturbing activities, the project developer shall enter into a Pre-Excavation Agreement, otherwise known as a Cultural Resources Treatment and Tribal Monitoring Agreement, with the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians. This agreement will contain provisions to address the proper treatment of any cultural resources or Luisef\o Native American human remains inadvertently uncovered during the course of the project. The agreement will outline the roles and powers of the Luisef\o Native American monitors and the archaeologist. b. Any and all uncovered artifacts of Luisef\o Native American cultural importance should be returned to the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians, and/or the Most Likely Descendant, if applicable, and not be curated. c. Native American monitors and archaeological monitors shall have joint authority to temporarily divert and/or halt construction activities. If cultural resources are discovered during construction, all earth moving activity within and around the immediate discovery area must be diverted until the Luise no Native American monitor and the archaeologist can assess the nature and significance of the find. d. The Luisef\o Native American monitor shall be present at the PLN/ENG n/a Completed ~ Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Page 4 of 10 MITIGATION MEASURE project's preconstruction meeting to consult with grading and excavation contractors concerning excavation schedules and safety issues, as well as consult with the principal archaeologist concerning the proposed archaeologist techniques and/or strategies for the project. e. If a significant cultural resource(s) and/or unique archaeological resource(s) are unearthed during ground disturbing activities for this project, the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians shall be notified and consulted regarding the respectful and dignified treatment of those resources. Pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred method of preservation for archaeological and cultural resources. If however, the Applicant is able to demonstrate that avoidance of a significant and/or unique cultural resources is infeasible and a data recovery plan is authorized by the City of Carlsbad as the lead agency, the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians shall be consulted regarding the drafting and finalization of any such recovery plan. f. When cultural resources are discovered during the project, if the archaeologist collects such resources, a Luisef\o Native American monitor must be present during any testing or cataloging of those resources. If the archaeologist does not collect the cultural resources that are unearthed during the ground disturbing activities, the Luisef\o Native American monitor, may in their discretion, collect said resources and provide them to the tribe and respectful and dignified treatment in accordance with the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians cultural and spiritual traditions. g.

If the San Diego County Coroner determines the remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) must be contacted within 24 hours. The NAHC must then immediately notify the "Most Likely Descendant" of receiving notification of the discovery.

May 25, 2018-In a letter dated January 15, 2018, Brian F. Smith & Associates Inc. indicates that they have been retained by California West Communities to conduct archeological, paleontological, and Native American Monitoring.

The following paleontological resource mitigation measures shall be I Prior to issuance of I PLN/ENG I n/a implemented: grading permit/on-going a. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the project developer shall retain the services of a qualified paleontologist to carry out the mitigation program outlined herein. (A qualified paleontologist is defined as an individual with a MS or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology that is experienced with paleontological procedures and Completed d~ Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Page 6 of 10 MITIGATION MEASURE techniques, who is knowledgeable in the geology and paleontology of San Diego County, and who has worked as a paleontological mitigation project supervisor in the county for at least one year.) The applicant shall provide verification that a qualified paleontologist meeting these requirements has been retained, and verification shall be documented by a letter from the applicant and the paleontologist to the lead agency. b. A qualified paleontologist shall be present at a pre-construction meeting to consult with the grading and excavation contractors concerning excavation schedules, paleontological field techniques and safety issues. c. A paleontological monitor shall be onsite during all earthwork operations that extend greater than 4 feet below existing grade. (A paleontological monitor is defined as an individual who has experience in the collection and salvage of fossil materials. The paleontological monitor shall work under the direction of a qualified paleontologist.) d. If fossils are discovered, the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall recover them. In most cases this fossil salvage can be completed in a short period of time. However, some fossil specimens (e.g., a complete large mammal skeleton) may require an extended salvage period. In these instances the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall be allowed to temporarily direct, divert, or halt grading to allow recovery of fossil remains in a timely manner. Because of the potential for the recovering of small fossil remains, such as isolated mammal teeth, it may be necessary to set up a screen-washing operation on the site. e. Any fossil remains collected during monitoring and salvage shall be cleaned, repaired, sorted, identified, and cataloged as part of the mitigation program.
