Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Introduction
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead or public agency that approves or carries
out a project for which an Mitigated Negative Declaration has been certified which identifies one or more
significant adverse environmental effects and where findings with respect to changes or alterations in the
project have been made, to adopt a “…reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project
which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects
on the environment” (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21081, 21081.6).
A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is required to ensure that adopted mitigation
measures are successfully implemented. The City of Fontana is the Lead Agency for the project and is
responsible for implementation of the MMRP. This report describes the MMRP for the Project and identifies
the parties that will be responsible for monitoring implementation of the individual mitigation measures in
the MMRP.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
The MMRP for the Project will be active through all phases of the Project, including design, construction, and
operation. The attached table identifies the mitigation program required to be implemented by the City for
the Project. The table identifies mitigation measures required by the City to mitigate or avoid significant
impacts associated with the implementation of the Project, the timing of implementation, and the responsible
party or parties for monitoring compliance.
The MMRP also includes a column that will be used by the compliance monitor (individual responsible for
monitoring compliance) to document when implementation of the measure is completed. As individual Plan,
Program, Policies; and mitigation measures are completed, the compliance monitor will sign and date the
MMRP, indicating that the required actions have been completed.
