The applicant or construction contractor <br />shall contact the San Joaquin County Community Development Department (SJCCDD) <br />immediately, and a qualified professional archaeologist acceptable to County staff shall be <br />notified and retained by the applicant.

The coroner is required to examine all discoveries of human remains within 48 <br />hours of receiving notice of a discovery on private or state lands (HSC Section 7050.5[b]). If <br />the coroner determines that the remains are those of a Native American, he or she shall <br />contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) by phone within 24 hours of <br />making that determination (HSC Section 7050[c]). Once a Most Likely Descendent (MLD) <br />has been designated by the NAHC, the MLD, in consultation with the County, shall <br />determine the ultimate disposition of the remains. The responsibilities of the County for <br />acting upon notification of a discovery of Native American human remains are outlined in <br />detail in the PRC Section 5097.9. Measures likely resulting from the above could include <br />preservation in place and capping/avoidance, or removal and continued monitoring of <br />ground -disturbing activities.
