<br />i. The project area is located within one quarter (1/4) mile from either a protected <br />Native American pre-contact site recorded with DAHP, or a protected historic site <br />that is listed or eligible, or potentially eligible and unevaluated, in the DAHP <br />inventory. <br /> <br />ii. DAHP or an affected Native American tribe timely comments through the above <br />cultural resources review process (or concurrent permitting or environmental <br />review process, if applicable), and requests an archaeological survey be completed <br />due to the presence of one or more of the following risk-factors: <br /> Documented historic feature(s) on the property or located within one <br />quarter (1/4) mile from the project area; <br /> Previous positive archaeological survey results from a survey on the <br />property or within one quarter (1/4) mile from the project area; or <br /> A tribally-recorded site located within one quarter (1/4) mile of the project <br />area. <br /> <br />iii. DAHP and an affected Native American tribe timely comment through the above <br />cultural resources review process (or concurrent permitting or environmental <br />review process, if applicable), and both DAHP and the affected Native American <br />tribe request that an archaeological survey be completed due to a professional <br />archaeologist’s determination that the project area is in an area that is at high-risk <br />for the presence of archaeological resources (e.g. in an area with high-risk soil <br />deposit types such as historic high-energy soil deposits, or soils with multiple <br />depositional contexts). <br /> <br />iv. The County determines that an archaeological survey is otherwise warranted. <br /> <br />d. Archaeological Survey & Reporting Standards. Archaeological surveys shall be completed <br />by a professional archaeologist. Archaeological survey reports shall conform to DAHP’s <br />then-current reporting standards. Both DAHP and affected Native American tribes shall <br />receive copies of completed archaeological survey reports, and have a reasonable <br />opportunity (in no case less than fifteen days) to comment on their sufficiency before <br />such reports shall be considered final. Final archaeological survey reports shall be filed <br />with DAHP prior to the County’s issuance of a permit, exemption, or other approval <br />where the proposed project is not exempt under Section 5.1(B)(1)(a). <br /> <br />e. Monitoring Alternative. Despite the requirements of Section 5.1(B)(1)(c), above, an <br />archaeological survey shall not be required where the project proponent, the County, <br />DAHP, and any affected Native American tribes, all approve a written plan for on-site <br />project monitoring by a professional archaeologist throughout all project phases that <br />include ground-disturbing work. This monitoring plan shall be drafted by a professional <br />archaeologist at the applicant’s expense. <br />
