U ~' (4) The operator shall apply daily cover over odorous material as soon as possible(see Mitigation). Final SEIR G.S, Impact and j. VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE: The Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan for the Austin Road Landfill Expansion (Jones and Stokes, 1996) will be implemented as part of the proposed project, consistent with the terms and conditions of the Section 404 Permit issued by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (see Final SEIR F.1, Impact and Mitigation). k. CULTURAL RESOURCES: With the North Branch of the South Fork of Little Johns Creek running through the landfill, the potential for locating and/or disturbing cultural deposits shall be mitigated by implementing the following: (1) If prehistoric archaeological resources are discovered during excavation and construction of the proposed project, the project sponsor shall suspend al!work in the immediate vicinity of the find pending site investigation by a qualified archaeologist or cultural resources consultant to assess the materials and determine their significance. (2) The project sponsor shall allow only a qualified archaeologist or cultural resources consultant to collect any prehistoric cultural resources discovered on the site. (3) If prehistoric archaeological deposits that include human remains are discovered by the project sponsor or any construction contractors during development of the project corridor, the project sponsor shall notify the County Coroner immediately. If the remains are found to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission must be notified within 24 hours. (4) If avoidance of important prehistoric archaeological resources would not be feasible, the project sponsor shall prepare an excavation plan in coordination with a qualified archaeologist or cultural resources consultant (see Final SEIR E.1, Impact and Mitigation). I. FENCING: A six-foot-high chain-link fence or other fencing approved by the County would be constructed at the perimeter of the facility so that public access(and access to these views)would be limited (see Final SEIR B.3, impact and Mitigation). m. SCREENING: Dense screening vegetation shall be planted around the fencing to visually buffer eye-level views of facility structures, vehicles, and equipment from adjacent roadways and residences (see Final SEIR B.1, Impact and Mitigation). n. WILDLIFE HAZARD MANAGEMENT PLAN: (1) The project sponsor shall request FAA, CIWMB, and LEA review of the proposed project and, specifically, bird abatement programs. The SMA shall also be notified. The project sponsor shall abide by any additional reasonable and feasible measures designated by this agency to mitigate bird population impacts that could be caused by the.proposed project. (2) The project sponsor shall conduct a bird survey before construction of the project and monitor bird population after operation of the landfill expansion begins. The bird monitoring will be part of the Wildlife Hazard Management Plan. If a follow-up survey shows an increase in bird populations, increase mitigation measures such as covering the fill areas as soon as possible and using noise-makers and other measures as necessary to discourage birds from the site until bird population levels return to the level found in pre-expansion surveys.
