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.

AESTHETICS
MM 4.1-3a: For future development associated with the project located in or
immediately adjacent to residentially zoned property, the following General
Condition of Approval shall be imposed: Construction documents shall include
language that requires all construction contractors to strictly control the
staging of construction equipment and the cleanliness of construction
equipment stored or driven beyond the limits of the construction work area.
Construction equipment shall be parked and staged within the project site to
the extent practical. Staging areas shall be screened from view from
residential properties with solid wood fencing or green fence. Construction
worker parking may be located off-site with approval of the City; however, on-
street parking of construction worker vehicles on residential streets shall be
prohibited. Vehicles shall be kept clean and free of mud and dust before
leaving the project site. Surrounding streets shall be swept daily and
maintained free of dirt and debris.

MM 4.2-1d: Projects that result in the construction of more than 19 single-
family residential units, 40 multifamily residential units, or 45,000 square feet
of retail/commercial/industrial space shall be required to apply paints either by
hand or high-volume low pressure (HVLP) spray. These measures may reduce
volatile organic compounds (VOC) associated with the application of paints and
coatings by an estimated 60 to 75 percent. Alternatively, the contractor may
specify the use of low volatility paints and coatings. Several of currently
available primers have VOC contents of less than 0.85 pounds per gallon (e.g.,
dulux professional exterior primer 100 percent acrylic). Top coats can be less
than 0.07 pounds per gallon (8 grams per liter) (e.g., Lifemaster 2000-series).
This latter measure would reduce these VOC emissions by more than 70
percent. Larger projects should incorporate both the use of HVLP or hand
application and the requirement for low volatility coatings.

environment, the City shall allow for a temporary waiver thereby
allowing construction on Weekends and/or holidays in those areas
where this construction is to be performed in excess of 500 feet from
any residential structures.
• The construction contractor shall provide an on-site name and
telephone number of a contact person. Construction hours,
allowable workdays, and the phone number of the job
superintendent shall be clearly posted at all construction entrances
to allow for surrounding owners and residents to contact the job
superintendent. If the City or the job superintendent receives a
complaint, the superintendent shall investigate, take appropriate
corrective action, and report the action taken to the reporting party.
In the event that construction noise is intrusive to an educational
process, the construction liaison will revise the construction schedule
to preserve the learning environment

preferably major roadways (Interstate 10, Interstate 15, State Route 60, Sierra
Avenue, Beech Avenue, Jurupa Avenue, and Slover Avenue). Construction
trucks should, to the extent practical, avoid the weekday and Saturday a.m.

MM 4.7-2a: No new industrial facilities shall be constructed within 160 feet of
any existing sensitive land use property line without the preparation of a
dedicated noise analysis. This analysis shall document the nature of the
industrial facility as well as “noise producing” operations associated with that
facility. Furthermore, the analysis shall document the placement of any
existing or proposed noise-sensitive land uses situated within the 160-foot
distance. The analysis shall determine the potential noise levels that could be
received at these sensitive land uses and specify very specific measures to be
employed by the industrial facility to ensure that these levels do not exceed
those City noise requirements of 65 dBA CNEL. Such measures could include,
but are not limited to, the use of enclosures for noisy pieces of equipment,
the use of noise walls and/or berms for exterior equipment and/or on-site
truck operations, and/or restrictions on hours of operations. No development
permits or approval of land use applications shall be issued until the noted
acoustic analysis is received and approved by the City Staff.

MM 4.7-3b: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a developer shall contract
for a site-specific noise study for the parcel. The noise study shall be
performed by an acoustic consultant experienced in such studies and the
consultant’s qualifications and methodology to be used in the study must be
presented to City staff for consideration. The site-specific acoustic study shall
specifically identify potential noise impacts upon any proposed sensitive uses
(addressing General Plan buildout conditions), as well as potential project
impacts upon off-site sensitive uses due to construction, stationary and
mobile noise sources. Mitigation for mobile noise impacts, where identified

related truck traffic utilizes existing established truck routes. Mitigation shall
be required if noise levels exceed 65 dBA, as identified in Section 30-182 of
the City’s Municipal Code.
TRANSPORTATION
4.9-1mm: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, applicants for future
development associated with the proposed project shall prepare site-specific
traffic studies, to the satisfaction of the City’s Engineering Department. As
determined by these subsequent traffic studies, traffic improvements
identified as mitigation measures in this Program EIR shall be implemented as
a condition of the approved future development project, either through direct
construction by the project applicant and/or through development impact
fees.

4.9-1nn: The City of Fontana shall perform monitoring of traffic generation
and phasing of development within the project area to defer or eliminate
identified improvements due to potential circulation impact changes or
reduced land use intensities. This monitoring shall be achieved through
project-specific traffic studies tied to future development within the Specific
Plan Update area with land use in excess of 100,000 square feet of non-
residential land use.

tribal monitor/consultant. If the resources are Native American in
origin, interested Tribes (as a result of correspondence with area
Tribes) shall coordinate with the landowner regarding treatment and
curation of these resources. Typically, the Tribe will request
preservation in place or recovery for educational purposes. Work may
continue on other parts of the project while evaluation takes place.
• Preservation in place shall be the preferred manner of treatment. If
preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include
implementation of archaeological data recovery excavation to remove
the resource along the subsequent laboratory processing and analysis.
All Tribal Cultural Resources shall be returned to the Tribe. Any historic
archaeological material that is not Native American in origin shall be
curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in
the materials, if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no
institution accepts the archaeological material, they shall be offered
to the Tribe or a local school or historical society in the area for
educational purposes.
• Archaeological and Native American monitoring and excavation
during construction projects shall be consistent with current
professional standards. All feasible care to avoid any unnecessary
disturbance, physical modification, or separation of human remains
and associated funerary objects shall be taken. Principal personnel
shall meet the Secretary of the Interior standards for archaeology
and have a minimum of 10 years’ experience as a principal
investigator working with Native American archaeological sites in
southern California. The Qualified Archaeologists shall ensure that all
other personnel are appropriately trained and qualified.
