APPENDIX A—INADVERTENT DISCOVERY PLAN INTRODUCTION This Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP)will be followed if cultural resources, including human remains, are encountered during ground disturbing activities at the property located at 125 N Stockton Street, Lodi, California (the `Property'). PROTOCOL FOR INADVERTENT DISCOVERY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES In the unlikely event that archaeological materials, features, and other potentially sensitive cultural resources are encountered during the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, all work must cease within the area of the discovery until a qualified professional archaeologist can evaluate the discovery, the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) is notified, and the lead agency (EPA)and consulting parties have agreed that ground-disturbing activities may resume. Cultural resources may include evidence of pre-contact or historic activities, artifacts such as formed stone or bone tools, tool-making debris, fire-modified rock, organic materials such as charcoal, and faunal remains including concentrations of shell and complete or fragmentary mammal, bird and fish bones, historic debris scatters, and features such as hearths, pits, privies, post-holes or post-molds, stone, brick or wood foundations and walls, and other evidence of structural remains. If cultural resources are discovered during work, the lead environmental scientist will immediately halt work at that location and notify each of the contacts listed in Table 1 below. The discovery area and a surrounding buffer zone shall be delineated flagged stakes or yellow or orange fencing. These stakes shall not be removed until after EPA is contacted and clears the area for future work. The buffer zone established around the discovery area shall be large enough to protect the discovery area from additional disturbance. Ground disturbing activities may continue outside of the buffer at a distance not expected to affect or disturb the resources identified at the initial discovery site, or approximately 100 feet from the discovery area.Work shall not restart at the discovery location(s) until clearance is received from the EPA.
