WORK PLAN
Grantee shall complete the restoration work summarized below and described -more
particularly in the City of Palm Spring's grant application dated, 11/2015, Grant
Agreement, dated 04/2017 and the Tera Nova Restoration Plan dated 12/2016. Grantee is .
required to comply with CEQA and the Notice of Exemption filed by Grantee on 1/26/2017
at all times. All above referenced documents are on record with the CVMC and the
Grantee and are hereby incorporated by this reference.
Summary of Work Plan:
On.approximately 2 acres of the Site, household waste has'been mixed into the soil ranging in
bands ranging from 6 inches to 1.5 feet deep. Other smaller areas have a thinner approximately
2 inch layer of household debris, irrigation tubing or piles of debris. Also, numerous dead trees
from the old orchard remain. All of the above need to be removed and transported for legal
disposal.
One 55 leaking drum containing petroleum exists and has impacted the surrounding soil. This is
a "Recognized Environmental Condition" and will require cleanup and disposal in accordance
with hazardous waste regulations.
Six previously undocumented archeological artifacts were discovered on the Site, including one
Native American site, one historical site and four Native American isolated artifacts. The two
sites will be preserved on site with historical signage, and the isolates will receive permanent
curation in accordant with federal regulations. The work and curation will be supervised by the
Agua Caliente Trail Historic Preservation Office.
Due to the agricultural use and historic dumping, the natural habitat values of the Site have been
diminished. As the Site is within the modeled habitat for the peninsular bighorn sheep and Grays
vireo, once the waste is removed, most nonnative plants will be removed, the natural topography
will be recreated (i.e., contours established and ephemeral channels re-connected to enhance
stormwater flow into the aquifer) and reseeding of native plants and planting of a limited number
of container plants will occur.
The cleanup and restoration work shall be done over a period of several months; the goal is to
seed and install a limited number of native container plants (e.g., cactus, agave and yucca) in
winter of 2017-18. The work and debris removal would be supervised by appropriate
environmental professionals and tribal cultural monitors to assure compliance with regulations
and best practices. The City would be responsible for obtaining consents from adjacent property
owners to traverse and transport waste over their lands, as well as for proper disposal of the
waste. Also, the City would monitor the natural progress of the restored portions of the Site for a
minimum of five years with ongoing management and monitoring of the entire property in
perpetuity. Annual reports monitoring reports shall be provided to the CVMC through June 30,
2038. The entire Site shall be covered by a Notice of Unrecorded Grant Agreement (NUGA) in
the format included herein as Exhibit I; the Grantee shall record this NUGA as a separate
document requiring the land to be conserved in perpetuity but permitting recreational or
educational uses ONLY (including trails) that do not conflict with the habitat/cultural resource

will be taken to limit to the extent possible the removal of the soil underlying the
debris.

site. The new project and contract may be funded with any savings from the original
debris removal project, subject to State approval.

WORK PLAN
Grantee shall complete the restoration work summarized below and described more
particularly in the City of Palm Spring's grant application dated, 11/2015, Grant
Agreement, dated 04/2017 and the Tera Nova Restoration Plan dated 12/2016._ Grantee is
required to comply with CEQA and the Notice of Exemption filed by Grantee on 1/26/2017
at all times. All above referenced documents are on record with the CVMC and the
Grantee and are hereby incorporated by this reference.
Summary of Work Plan:
On approximately 2 acres of the Site, household waste has been mixed into the soil ranging in
bands ranging from 6 inches to 1.5 feet deep. Other smaller areas have a thinner approximately
2 inch layer of household debris, irrigation tubing or piles of debris. Also, numerous dead trees
from the old orchard remain. All of the above need to be removed and transported for legal
disposal.
One 55 leaking drum containing petroleum exists and has impacted the surrounding soil. This is
a "Recognized Environmental Condition" and will require cleanup and disposal in accordance
with hazardous waste regulations.
Six previously undocumented archeological artifacts were discovered on the Site, including one
Native American site, one historical site and four Native American isolated artifacts. The two
sites will be preserved on site with historical signage, and the isolates will receive permanent
curation in accordant with federal regulations. The work and curation will be supervised by the
Agua Caliente Trail Historic Preservation Office.
Due to the agpieulwirall use Mand hiOnrie dumping, the natural habitat values of the Site have been
diminished. As the S46 is within the modeled habitat for the peninsular bighorn I , IQ ,
vireo, enee the waste is remeved, most nennative plants will be removed, the natural tepegfaphy
will be reereated .,
stefmwater flew into the aquiteo and reseeding of native plants and planting of a lifaited Humber
of container plants will eeettE.
The cleanup and rester-atim; iver4- shall be done ever a period of sever-al menths; the goal is to
seed and install a lifnited mmber of native eentainff plants (e.g., eaetus, agave and yaeea)-in
winter of 2017 '° The work •and debris removal would be supervised by appropriate
environmental professionals and tribal cultural monitors to assure compliance with regulations
and best practices. The City would be responsible for obtaining consents from adjacent property
owners to traverse and transport waste over their lands, as well as for proper disposal of the
waste. Also, the City would monitor the natural progress of the restored portions of the Site for a
minimum of five years with ongoing management and monitoring of the entire property in
perpetuity. Annual reports monitoring reports shall be provided to the CVMC through June 30,
2038. The entire Site shall be covered by a Notice of Unrecorded Grant Agreement (NUGA) in
the format included herein as Exhibit I; the Grantee shall record this NUGA as a separate
document requiring the land to be conserved in perpetuity but permitting recreational or
educational uses ONLY (including trails)
