the Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan, Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) No. 2006-
04 (SCH # 2006051073), which was adopted for this project.
155.The following mitigation measures related to the protection of Cultural Resources shall be
implemented as described below:
• TS-01 shall be avoided and preserved where feasible including a 10-meter buffer
surrounding the boundaries of TS-01 to protect the delineated site area and any
associated subsurface components. Protective fencing during construction shall be
provided to protect TS-01 where feasible.
• Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, a Phase II cultural resources testing and
evaluation program shall be conducted for TS-01 and TS-02. The Phase II evaluation
plan shall contain a research design and field methodology designed to evaluate the
significance of the sites pursuant to applicable law and in accordance with general
archaeological reporting standards for such. If Phase II testing determines the
presence of a "unique archaeological resource" under Public Resources Code
Section 21083.2, the report shall include recommended measures to avoid or mitigate
impacts to the sites. Where avoidance of significant resources is not feasible, Phase
Ill investigations (data recovery) shall be completed.
• All testing and evaluation shall be supervised by an individual or individuals meeting
the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards as a qualified
prehistoric archaeologist for Site TS-01 and as an historic archaeologist for Site TS-
02 and/or a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA) with similar qualifications.
• If the Phase II cultural resources evaluation program determines that a given resource
is eligible for listing on the California Registry of Historic Resources (CRHR) and/or

local listings and therefore meets the definition of a "historical resource," or if there is
a determination by the City in consultation with the Pechanga Tribe that a resource is
"unique" pursuant to applicable law, an impact determination shall be made prior to
issuance of grading permits. If the impacts are determined to be significant,
appropriate mitigation measures shall be designed in consultation with the Pechanga
Tribe to mitigate impacts to below a level of significance with preservation as the
preferred mitigation if feasible. If preservation is not the chosen alternative, a data
recovery program shall be implemented. The data recovery program shall entail, at a
minimum, the collection of surface materials and a sufficient sample of buried
materials, analysis, and reporting of recovered materials consistent with the Cultural
Resources Treatment and Monitoring Agreement by and between the Project
Applicant and the Pechanga Tribe.
• Prior to issuance of grading permit(s) for the Project, the Project Applicant shall retain
an archaeological monitor to monitor all ground-disturbing activities with special
emphasis on the vicinity of TS-01 and TS-02 in an effort to identify any unknown
archaeological resources. Any newly discovered cultural resource deposits shall be
subject to a cultural resources evaluation.
• At least 30 days prior to seeking a grading permit, the project applicant shall contact
the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians for the purpose of notifying the Tribe of the
grading, excavation and monitoring program, and to coordinate with the City of Lake
Elsinore and the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians to develop a Cultural Resources
Treatment and Monitoring Agreement. The Agreement shall address the treatment of
known cultural resources, the designation, responsibilities, and participation of Native
American monitors during grading, excavation and ground disturbing activities;
project grading and development scheduling; terms of compensation; and treatment
and final disposition of any cultural resources, sacred sites, and human remains
discovered on the site. The City of Lake Elsinore shall be the final arbiter of any
disputes concerning the conditions included in the Agreement.
• Prior to issuance of any grading permit, the project archaeologist shall file a pre-
grading report with the City and County (if required) to document the proposed
methodology for grading activity observation. Said methodology shall include the
requirement for a qualified archaeological monitor to be present and to have the
authority to stop and redirect grading activities. In accordance with the Treatment
Agreement, the archaeological monitor's authority to stop and redirect grading shall
be exercised in consultation with the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians in order to
evaluate the significance of any archaeological resources discovered on the property.
Tribal monitors from the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians shall be allowed to
monitor all grading, excavation and groundbreaking activities, and shall also have the
authority to stop and redirect grading activities in consultation with the project
archaeologist.
• If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5
shall apply and no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made
a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
5097.98. The Riverside County Coroner shall be notified of the find immediately. If
the remains are determined to be prehistoric, the Coroner will notify the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a Most
