Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 5097.2 — Archaeological, Paleontological, and Historical Sites is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Upon receipt of plans for a proposed construction project upon state lands, the department may conduct an archaeological site survey on the affected state lands in order to determine whether the lands may contain any historic or prehistoric ruins, burial grounds, archaeological or vertebrate paleontological sites, including fossilized footprints, inscriptions made by human agency, rock art, or any other archaeological, paleontological or historical feature. The department shall submit to the state agency, by or on whose behalf the project is to be constructed, its recommendations concerning the preservation, photographing, recording, or excavation for, any archaeological, paleontological, or historical features which may be located upon the lands.
