3.1 OBSERVATION

A. An NPS provided Archeological Monitor will observe all ground-disturbing site work, including construction of temporary facilities, at all archeologically sensitive areas, from a safe location mutually agreed on by Contractor and Monitor. As new ground is broken, Monitor will examine excavated materials, using construction layout centerline and perimeter staking as a reference point to record locations of findings.

3.2 DISCOVERY OF RESOURCES

A. If Archeological Monitor discovers resources, immediate relocation of the work to a non-sensitive area may be required to allow Monitor to identify and document resources and, if necessary, develop an appropriate mitigation plan. While Archeological Monitor is documenting resources in sensitive areas, Contractor shall relocate work to non-sensitive areas where monitoring is not normally required.
