11. Identify potential impacts to paleontological resources by proposed land use action: If the permitted activity was a paleontological survey performed in advance of a proposal for ground disturbing activity, potential impacts to paleontological resources must be described. Otherwise enter N/A.

12. Mitigation recommendations to address potential paleontological resource impacts: If the permitted activity was a paleontological survey performed in advance of a proposal for ground disturbing activity, recommendations to mitigate potential impacts to paleontological resources must be described, based on the survey results. Otherwise enter N/A.
