The MMRP for the Specific Plan will be in place through all phases of the Project, including design, construction, and operation. RESPONSIBILITIES The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the adoption of feasible mitigation measures to reduce the severity and magnitude of potentially significant environmental impacts associated with Project development. State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(d) states: When making the findings required in subdivision (a)(1), the agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. These measures must be enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures. The City of San Luis Obispo (City) will act as the lead agency and approve a program for reporting or monitoring of the approved mitigation measures for this Project to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures are implemented as defined in the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Project. For each MMRP activity, the Applicant will either administer the activity or delegate it to staff, consultants, or contractors. The Applicant will ensure that monitoring is documented and provided to the City as required and that deficiencies are promptly corrected. The designated environmental monitor depending on the provision specified below (e.g., City staff, environmental monitor, certified professionals, etc.) will track and document compliance with mitigation measures, note any problems that may result, and take appropriate action to remedy problems. The City or its designee(s) will ensure that each person delegated any duties or responsibilities is qualified to monitor compliance. EXHIBIT B 00613 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM 2 Froom Ranch Specific Plan MONITORING PROCEDURES Many of the monitoring procedures will be conducted during the construction phase of the Project. The City or its designee(s) and the environmental monitor(s) are responsible for integrating the mitigation monitoring procedures into the construction process in coordination with the Applicant. To oversee the monitoring procedures and to ensure success, the environmental monitor assigned to a monitoring action must be onsite during the applicable portion of construction that has the potential to create a significant environmental impact or other impact for which mitigation is required. The environmental monitor is responsible for ensuring that all procedures specified in the monitoring program are followed. MONITORING TABLE For each mitigation measure, Table 1 identifies 1) the full text of the mitigation; 2) plan requirements and applicable timing; and 3) how the action will be monitored and the agency responsible for verifying compliance.
