As the property lies near the banks of San Juan Creek and the Juaneno habitation site of Putiidhem, it is very sensitive to archaeological and cultural resources. It is possible that these resources will be encountered during subsurface activities. MEC is familiar with the history and previous archaeological studies pertinent to the specific area. All work will be conducted in conformance with the City Of San Juan Capistrano Historical Archaeological Element of the City General Plan, and City Council Resolutions, Council Policy for Paleontological Resource Management as well as the operating CEQA sections (e.g. 15148 and 15150), Public Resources Code Sections (5097.94:9-.98,-99), and supplementary State regulations. A brief Statement of Qualifications related to the firm's experience in San Juan Capistrano, and a more extensive resume for Judy McKeehan are provided as attachments to this proposal. McKeehan Environmental Consultants Proposal McKeehan Environmental Consultants Scope of Work: Task 1. Cultural Resources Monitoring The monitor will be required to follow all written and verbal safety instructions from the construction contractor at all times. The monitor will work closely with the City and its contractor if necessary to avoid imminent destruction of potentially significant resources. Any previously unrecorded archaeological sites will be recorded on state of California archaeological site record forms (DPR 523). Tasks will include: • Observing activities with respect to permit requirements and mitigation measures; • Assisting the City in the completion of tasks so that proper compliance procedures are facilitated; and Documenting and reporting on field observations of activities carried out, construction and mitigation techniques, success of the techniques, and recommendations for solutions to problems encountered Task 2. Cultural Resources Technical Report. A Cultural Resources Report will be written following Office of Historic Preservation format and content guidelines, which provides the results of the records search and monitoring. The report will also present recommendations for further work, if needed, to evaluate any cultural resources that may have been identified One draft of this report and figures will be submitted electronically to the City for review. Upon receipt of comments on the draft document, MEC will incorporate City input and produce the final report. MEC assumes that only one round of review will be necessary. A total of two hardcopies and one electronic copy of the final report will be produced and submitted to the City; electronic and hardcopies will be submitted to the County per their requirements. The final report, including proposed mitigation measures if potentially significant resources are found, will be provided to the Agency and to the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCIC) at Cal State Fullerton. MEC will be available to provide assessment, evaluation or recovery of any additional resources on a time -and -materials basis. The Not -to -Exceed figure below is based on the City's estimate of 40 hours of monitoring for both an archaeologist and Native American monitor.
