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 negative
declaration.
Monitoring Program Procedures
The City of Gilroy shall use the attached monitoring checklist for the proposed project. The
monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
A. 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 monitoring checklist
and distributing the checklist to the responsible individuals or agencies for their use in
monitoring the mitigation measures.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. 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.

Mitigation Monitoring Program
If human remains are found during construction there shall be no
further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area
reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the
coroner of Santa Clara County is contacted to determine that no
investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner
determines the remains to be Native American the coroner shall
contact the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours.
The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the person
or persons it believes to be the most likely descendent (MLD) from the
deceased Native American. The MLD may then make
recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the
excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with
appropriate dignity, the human remains and associated grave goods as
provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The landowner
or his authorized representative shall rebury the Native American
human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on
the property in a location not subject to further disturbance if: a) the
Native American Heritage Commission is unable to identify a MLD or
the MLD failed to make a recommendation within 24 hours after being
notified by the commission; b) the descendent identified fails to make
a recommendation; or c) the landowner or his authorized
representative rejects the recommendation of the descendent, and the
mediation by the Native American Heritage Commission fails to
provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
