Requirements Changes

As of January 1, 2009, all cultural resources reports prepared for proposed private development projects within the unincorporated County of Riverside shall be submitted directly to the County Archaeologist for review, rather than the Project Planner. Now required is one draft, certified, complete paper or email copy submitted for review. Primary and trinomial site numbers are to be included. Once the report has been accepted, the consultant will be notified to submit two PDF-formatted CDs of the final report. Reports can be emailed to lmouriqu@rctlma.org.
