Mitigation Monitoring Program Introduction On January 1, 1989, the California State Legislature passed into law Assembly Bill 3180, This bill requires public agencies to adopt reporting or monitoring programs when they approve projects subject to an environmental impact report or a negative declaration that includes mitigation measures to avoid significant adverse environmental effects, The reporting or monitoring program is to be designed to ensure compliance with conditions of project approval during project implementation in order to avoid significant adverse environmental effects, The law was passed in response to historic non-implementation of mitigation measures presented in environmental documents and subsequently adopted as conditions of project approval, In addition, monitoring ensures that mitigation measures are implemented and thereby provides a mechanism to evaluate the eff,;ctiveness of the mitigation measures. A definitive set of project conditions would include enough detailed information and enforcement procedures to ensure the measure's compliance. This monitoring program is designed to provide a mechanism to ensure that mitigation measures and subsequent conditions of project approval are implemented, Monitoring Program The basis for this monitoring program is the mitigation measures included in the initial study. These mitigation measures are designed to eliminate or reduce significant adverse environmental effects to less,than-significant levels, These mitigation measures become conditions of project approval, which the City of Gilroy is required to complete during and after implementation of the proposed project. The attached checklist is proposed for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measures. This monitoring checklist contains all appropriate mitigation measures in this initial study. Monitoring Program Procedures It is required that the City of Gilroy use the attached monitoring checklist for the proposed project. The morutoring program should be implemented as follows: 1. The Gilrov Plarming Director should be responsible for coordination of the monitoring program, including the monitoring checklist. The Plarming Director should be responsible for completing the monitoring checklist and distnbuti.m; the checklist to the responsible individuals or agencies for their use in monitoring the mitigation measures, 2. Each responsible individual or agency will then be responsible for determining whether the mitigation measures contained in the monitoring checklist have been complied with, Once all mitigation measures have been complied with, the responsible individual or agency should submit a copy of the monitoring checklist to the Plarming Director to be placed in the project file. If the mitigation measure has not been complied with, the monitoring checklist should not be returned to the Planning Director. 3. The Planning Director will review the checklist to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures and additional conditions of project approval included in the monitoring checklist have been complied with at the appropriate time, e.g. prior to tentative map approval, prior to issuance of a building permit, etc, Compliance with mitigation measures is required for project approvals, 4, If a responsible individual or agency determines that a non-compliance has occurred, a written notice should be delivered by certified mail to the City of Gilroy within 10 days describing the non-compliance and requiring compliance within a specified period of time, The City of Gilroy will bring the project into compliance, Master Pltm of Fire Services Mitigation Monitoring Program 1 .

Survey historical resources for any site it selects for development of a new fire station. 1m acts to si ificant historical resources shall be miti ated, Prepare an engineering soils report for any site selected for development of a fire station. Design of anv structure on the site shall conform to the findings and recommendations contained in that re art, Review the list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5to determine if a proposed fire station site is on the list. If a proposed site is located on said list. the City shall chose another site or conduct the a ro riate hazardous materials clean-up, The City of Gilroy shall conduct a site-specific initial study that includes an analysis of flooding and Hood flows in the project vicinity, If the proposed fire station is within an area of flooding or flood Hows, the City shall chose another site or miti ated the flooding impacts to a less than si ,. cant level, Conduct an analysis of land use compatibility ior any site selected within an area zoned ior residential use, If a proposed fire station were determined to be incompatible with surrounding land uses, the City shall chose another site or incorporate mitigation measures to reduce land us incompatibilities to a less than si ificantlevel. Conduct a noise analysis to determine impacts on adjacent land uses for any site it selects for development of a new fire station, Mitigate noise impacts, both construction and 0 erationaJ, to a less than si ificantlevel. Conduct an analysis of off-site drainage improvements for any site it selects for development of a new fire station. If the analysis concludes that the City's existing storm drain system is not adequate, appropriate improvements shall be ineo orated into the project, Master Plan of Fire Services Mitigation Manitoring Program 2 - Master Plan of Fire Services Mitigaticm Mcmitoring Program 3 i .

For any fire stations built adjacent to a wildland area, the following mitigation measure shaJJ be incorporated into the project design: 9.
