historically oak/buckeye savanna. As per CEQA guidelines, more specificity from the commenter is required. Cl 11: The EIR authors concur with this statement. C 112: The Central California Information Center has reviewed the site records submitted with the Phase I report. On April 4, 1992, the Central California Information Center assigned the official trinomial numbers to every site record submitted by the DEIR archaeologists. Cl 13: Refer to response A22. C 114: The EIR authors concur that professional archaeologists should be retained to perform future work at the project site, however, experience does not have to be limited to Central California as recommended by the commenter. C 115: The purpose of testing is to determine potentially significant resources. The use of fill is governed by Appendix K of CEQA. C 116: The use of truck-mounted augers is a potentially destructive method for determining site location and depth, especially where there is evidence of burials present. Soil testing may be useful in determining the interrelationship of areas within a site, but in itself has too many flaws to be used as a single method. Soil testing should be combined with other testing methods. The lead archaeologist conducting the field research should be certified by the Society of Professional Archaeologists. Refer to response C83. Cl 17: As the commenter is aware, all postulated "house floors" by definition must be on excavatable deposits. Thus, all postulated house floors should be mapped and a representative sample tested. C 118: This action was recommended in the DEIR; please refer to page 4.9-12. C 119: The EIR authors concur with this statement. C 120: The EIR authors concur that a walk-through inspection with members of the Native American community should occur, but with the archaeologists performing the Phase Il study. C 121: Although the equestrian trail through Brovelli Woods has been used occasionally over the past decades the relatively heavy use by residents and guests, especially during the spring/summer months, could disrupt the nesting period of the Swainson's hawk. C 122: The further the protective fence can be installed outside the drip line the better. This would be more beneficial for the health of the tree. C 123- C 124: We concur that a dead limb over a house, parking lot, etc., should be removed. However, the pruning should be restricted only to the development area. It is essential that the natural environment be maintained in the preserve to function as a viable habitat. C 125- III-174
