• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Submit a summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San
Bernardino County Museum.
Hydrology and Water Quality
1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit
to Building Official for approval a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices
(BMPs) that shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during
construction activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum
extent practical.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in Grading Plan,
and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific
measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground

minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in southern
California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be
included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or
off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a
remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.
3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel
dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the
site when there is rainfall or other runoff.
4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be
performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to
control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from
the site.
5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water
Quality Management Plan prepared by Thielman Engineers,
June 21, 2004) to reduce pollutants after construction entering the
storm drain system to the maximum extent practical.
