No spraying or burning shall be conducted in areas of sensitive native plant species.
All documented archaeological sites in or near the burn shall be flogged and protected from project impacts through strict adherence to avoidance measures specified by the State Archaeologist assigned to the project. The Project Manager shall unsure compliance with all other conditions for archaeological preservation, including (but not limited to) a post-fire survey. Any changes in project scope must be reviewed and approved by the State Archaeologist prior to project implementation.
The Project Manager shall ensure that the project is conducted according to the terms of the Prescribed Burn Project Plan, including (but not limited to) consultation with and permitting by regulatory and public safety agencies.
