Exhibit B: Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Miller
Avenue Reorganization (A 03 -01)
Introduction
CEQA Guidelines section 15097 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 effectiveness 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 project
environmental impact report. 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 project proponent 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 the
environmental impact report.
Monitoring Program Procedures
The City of Gilroy shall use the attached monitoring checklist for the Miller Avenue
Reorganization project. The monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
1. The Gilroy Community Development Department should be responsible for
coordination of the monitoring program, including the monitoring checklist. The
Community Development Department should be responsible for completing the
EMC Planning Group Inc.
681067,1 3 -1
3.0 Mitigation Monitoring Program Miller Avenue Reorganization Final EIR
monitoring checklist and distributing 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 Community Development Department 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 Community Development Department;
The Gilroy Community Development Department 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 issuance of a use permit, etc. Compliance with mitigation measures is
required for project approvals; and
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 project proponent within
10 days, with a copy to the Community Development Department, describing the
non - compliance and requiring compliance within a specified period of time. If non-
compliance still exists at the expiration of the specified period of time, construction
may be halted and fines may be imposed at the discretion of the City of Gilroy.

C. A pre - construction worker orientation, prepared and conducted by a qualified
biologist, to inform workers of the amphibian's protected status and facilitate
identification of the potential presence of special status amphibians.
d. Measures to avoid loss of these species during construction activities including
but not limited to:
1) Who to contact to remove individual amphibians from the project site
prior to and during project grading and construction;
2) How/Where to relocate them to nearby protected habitat or other suitable
locations identified in the plan; and
3) Appropriate measures to prevent amphibians from entering the site during
construction activities.
e. Reporting requirements to monitor the effectiveness of the provision of the
HCP.
f. Construction details to prevent entry of amphibians into private yards or onto
streets, to reduce the potential for accidental take during occupancy of the
proposed project.

1. The following surveys shall be required if any construction would occur during the
nesting and /or breeding season of burrowing owls (February 1 through August 31)
and /or during the winter residency period (December 1 through January 31).
No more than 30 days prior to commencement of grading or construction activities on
the project site, field surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to determine
if burrowing owls are present in the construction zone or within 200 feet of the
construction zone. Areas within 200 feet of the construction zone that are not within
the control of the applicant shall be visually assessed from the project site. Results of
the survey shall be documented by the biologist, and reviewed by the City Planning
Division, prior to issuance of a building permit.
If active nests are found in the survey area, the applicant shall contact the California
Department of Fish and Game and shall initiate a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) process with the California Department of Fish and Game. The MOU shall

Miller Avenue Reorganization Final EIR 3.0 Mitigation Monitoring Program
contain mitigation measures contained in the California Department of Fish and
Game Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (California Department of Fish and
Game 1995). The MOU may contain, but not be limited to, the following:
• Avoidance of occupied burrows during the nesting season (February 1 through
August 31);
• Acquisition, protection and funding for long -term management and monitoring
of foraging habitat adjacent to occupied habitat;
• Enhancement of existing burrows and /or creation of new burrows;
• Passive relocation of burrowing owls.
The MOU process shall be completed prior to grading or construction activities.

3. The following surveys shall be required if any construction would occur during the
nesting season for raptors (April 15 — August 1).
Preconstruction surveys for nesting raptors shall be conducted by a qualified biologist
prior to commencement of grading activities.
If raptor nests are located during pre - construction surveys, a qualified biologist shall
establish a 300 -foot buffer around each nest for the duration of the breeding season
(until such time as the young are fully fledged) to prevent nest harassment and brood
mortality. Work may proceed prior to August 1 only if a qualified biologist conducts
nest checks and establishes that the young are fully fledged. Every effort will be made
to avoid removal or impact to known raptor nests within project boundaries. If trees
known to support raptor nests cannot be avoided, removal of these trees will only
occur during the non - breeding season to reduce impacts to a less than significant
level.
Results of the survey shall be documented by the biologist, and reviewed by the City
Planning Division, prior to issuance of a building permit.

4. Prior to future development activities, and in coordination with the mitigation
measures above, a 300 -foot setback from the high water mark of Farman Creek will
be fenced. Grading and equipment will not be allowed within this setback. If
disturbance is proposed within the creekbed, a Section 404 permit from the USACE
and a Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFG will be obtained.

5. In order to allow a prompt and effective response to any accidental spills occurring
during construction, and to protect on -site and downstream water quality and habitat,
the project proponent shall prepare a spill abatement plan and hold a pre - construction
worker orientation meeting(s) to discuss the spill abatement plan. Workers shall be
informed of the importance of preventing spills, and of the appropriate measures to
take shall a spill occur. The materials necessary for the initial response to a spill shall
be kept at an easily accessible location on the project site. The erosion control plan
should include but not be limited to the following best management practices:
a. Temporary mulching, seeding or other suitable stabilization measures to protect
exposed erodible areas during construction;
b. Earth or paved interceptors and diversions installed at the top of cut or fill
slopes where there is a potential for erosive surface runoff,
C. Erosion and sediment control devices for all grading and filling. Control devices
and measures could include, but are not limited to energy absorbing structures
or devices to reduce the velocity of runoff water, and;
d. Within thirty days after completion of grading, all surfaces disturbed by
vegetation removal, grading, or other construction activity that alters vegetative
cover, should be revegetated to control erosion, unless covered with impervious
or other improved surfaces authorized by approved plans. Erosion controls may
include any combination of mechanical or vegetative measure, including but not
limited to those described in USDA Soil Conservation Service Bulletin 347.

6. In order to prevent the spread of invasive non - native species, the project proponent
shall prepare a landscaping and re- vegetation plan to include the following
requirements:
a. An eradication plan for plants listed in California Invasive Plant Council's
Exotic Pest Plants of Greatest Ecological Concern in California currently
growing on the project site;

b. Use of plants listed in California Invasive Plant Council's Exotic Pest Plants of
Greatest Ecological Concern in California shall be prohibited;
C. Exposed soil areas shall be planted, mulched, or covered between October 15
and the following April 15 each year;
d. Plant materials used in landscaping, erosion control, or habitat restoration shall
consist of plants that are included in an appropriate native California plants as
identified by a qualified biologist or landscape architect; and
e. To prevent erosion and conserve water, bare soil between newly installed plant
materials shall be mulched, covered with jute netting, or seeded with a mix of
seeds best suited for the climate and soil conditions, and native to the Gilroy
region.
