Immediately limit access to the cultural resources exclusion zone according to procedures described in the Inadvertent Discovery Plan; 3. Implement notification procedures described in the Inadvertent Discovery Plan, including notification of the SHPO, the SYBCI, ICR, and Boeing within 3 calendar days, unless DOE determines that the materials are non-cultural under d.iv.; and 4.
