a way that the light does not shine directly into the eyes of the motorists along Interstate
15 and Ynez Road.
Air Qualitv

have the authority to stop and redirect grading activities to evaluate the significance of
any paleontological resources exposed during the grading activity within the alignment.
If paleontological resources are encountered, adequate funding will be provided to
collect, curate and report on these resources to ensure the values inherent in the
resources are adequately characterized and preserved.
Noise

nighttime grading activities shall not be permitted within the same 24-hour period.
8. During daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), and prior to any nighttime grading
activities, an earthen berm shall be constructed along the eastern and northern sides of
the construction area on the "source site". (The height and location of the berm are

should be posted at strategic locations within the project area. The notifications and
