CHAPTER
4
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
4.1
Introduction
Section
21081.6
of
the
California
Public
Resources
Code
and
Sections
15091(d)
and
15097
of
the
State
CEQA
Guidelines
require
public
agencies
“to
adopt
a
reporting
or
monitoring
program
for
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.”
The
purpose
of
such
a
program
is
to
ensure
that
when
an
environmental
document
identifies
mitigation
measures
that
those
measures
are,
in
fact,
implemented.
The
following
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
(MMRP)
is
based
on
the
mitigation
measures
presented
in
the
Environmental
Impact
Report
(EIR)
prepared
by
the
City
of
Brisbane
to
analyze
impacts
of
proposed
Baylands
development.
As
lead
agency
for
the
proposed
development
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands,
and
pursuant
to
AB
3180,
the
City
of
Brisbane
is
responsible
for
implementation
of
this
MMRP.
Pursuant
to
the
State
CEQA
Guidelines,
an
MMRP
must:
Identify
the
entity
that
is
responsible
for
each
monitoring
and
reporting
task,
be
it
the
City
of
Brisbane
(as
lead
agency),
other
agency
(responsible
or
trustee
agency),
or
a
private
entity
(i.e.,
the
project
sponsor);
Be
based
on
the
project
description
and
the
required
mitigation
measures
presented
in
the
environmental
document
prepared
for
the
project
and
certified
by
the
lead
agency
(Brisbane
Baylands
Final
EIR)
and
Be
approved
by
the
lead
agency
at
the
same
time
as
project
entitlement
action
or
approvals.
An
Environmental
Impact
Report
(EIR)
has
been
prepared
for
the
proposed
Baylands
development
program
that
addresses
the
anticipated
environmental
impacts
of
such
development.
Where
significant
impacts
are
identified,
the
EIR
recommends
measures
to
mitigate
these
impacts.
It
is
the
purpose
of
this
MMRP
to
sets
forth
the
implementation
strategy
for
each
mitigation
measure
to
ensure
that
adopted
mitigation
measures
are
successfully
implemented.
Following
adoption
of
the
MMRP
by
the
Brisbane
City
Council,
the
City
will
incorporate
the
mitigation
monitoring/reporting
requirements
in
the
appropriate
permits
(e.g.,
Specific
Plan(s),
site-specific
development,
infrastructure
construction
permits).
Therefore,
in
accordance
with
the
aforementioned
requirements,
this
Chapter
of
the
Final
EIR
lists
each
mitigation
measure,
describes
the
methods
for
implementation
and
verification
for
each
measure,
and
identifies
the
responsible
party
or
parties
as
detailed
below
in
the
MMRP
Implementation
section.
