Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(3), when preparing an addendum to a program environmental impact report (EIR) an agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into later activities in the program. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(3), the addendum to the PEIR for the project incorporates the mitigation measures included in the PEIR. CEQA requires that a public agency adopting an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) take affirmative steps to determine that approved mitigation measures are implemented after project approval. The lead or responsible agency must adopt a reporting and monitoring program for the mitigation measures incorporated into a project or included as conditions of approval. The program must be designed to ensure compliance with the EIR during project implementation (California Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6(a)(1)). This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will be used by the City of Fontana (City) to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures identified in the addendum to the PEIR for the project when construction begins. The City, as the lead agency, will be responsible for ensuring that all mitigation measures are carried out. The remainder of this MMRP consists of a table that identifies the mitigation measures by resource for each project component. Table 1 identifies the mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements, list of mitigation measures, parties responsible for implementing mitigation measures, timing for implementation of mitigation measures, agency responsible for monitoring of implementation, and verification method.
