confirm, through the State Historic Preservation Officer, that the findings of the <br />AO are correct and that mitigation is appropriate. <br />If the operator wishes, at any time, to relocate activities to avoid the expense of <br />mitigation and/or the delays associated with this process, the AO will assume <br />responsibility for whatever recordation and stabilization of the exposed materials may be <br />required. Otherwise, the operator will be responsible for mitigation cost. The AO will <br />provide technical and procedural guidelines for the conduct of mitigation. Upon <br />verification from the AO that the required mitigation has been completed, the operator <br />will then be allowed to resume construction. <br />2. Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4(g) the holder of this authorization must notify the AO, by <br />telephone, with written confirmation, immediately upon the discovery of human remains, <br />funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony.

If fossil materials are uncovered during <br />any project or construction activities, the operator is to immediately stop activities in the <br />immediate area of the find that might further disturb such materials, and immediately <br />contact the authorized officer (AO). Within five working days the AO will inform the <br />operator as to: <br />• whether the materials appear to be of noteworthy scientific interest <br />• the mitigation measures the operator will likely have to undertake before the site <br />can be used (assuming in situ preservation is not feasible) <br />If the operator wishes, at any time, to relocate activities to avoid the expense of <br />mitigation and/or the delays associated with this process, the AO will assume <br />responsibility for whatever recordation and stabilization of the exposed materials may be <br />required. Otherwise, the operator will be responsible for mitigation cost. The AO will <br />provide technical and procedural guidelines for the conduct of mitigation.
