Lincoln Avenue Widening Project (East Street to Evergreen Street) Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Comments and Responses (Exhibit B) December 2016
EXHIBIT B. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN
Introduction
In accordance with CEQA, an IS/MND that identified adverse impacts related to the construction activity for the Lincoln Avenue Wide ning Project (East Street to Evergreen Street) was prepared. The MND identified mitigation measures that would reduce or eliminate these impacts.
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code and Sections 15091(d) and 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines require public agencies to adopt a reporting and 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. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) is required for the Proposed Project, because the IS/MND identified potentially significant adverse impacts related to construction activity, and mitigation measures have been identified to mitigate these impacts. Adoption of the MMRP will occur along with approval of the Proposed Project.
Purpose of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan This MMRP has been prepared to ensure that all required mitigation measures are implemented and completed according to schedule and maintained in a satisfactory manner during the construction and operation of the Proposed Project, as required. The MMRP may be modified by the City of Anaheim during project implementation, as necessary, in response to changing conditions or other project refinements. The MMRP table has been prepared to assist the responsible parties in implementing the MMRP. This table identifies the category of significant environmental impact(s), individual mitigation measures, monitoring and mitigation timing, responsible person/agency for implem enting the measure, monitoring and reporting procedure, and notation space to confirm implementation of the mitigation measures. The numbering of the mitigation measures follows the numbering sequence in the IS/MND.
Roles and Responsibilities
The City of Anaheim Department of Public Works, as Lead Agency, is responsible for oversight of compliance of the mitigation measures in the MMRP.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan
The column categories identified in the MMRP table are described below. • Mitigation Measure – This column lists the mitigation measures by number. • Monitoring Activity/Timing/Frequency/Schedule – This column lists the activity to be monitored for each mitigation measure, the timing of each activity, and the frequency/schedule of monitoring for each activity.
• Implementation Responsibility/Verification – This column identifies the entity responsible for complying with the requirements of the mitigation measure, and provides space for verification initials and date.
• Responsibility f or Oversight of Compliance/Verification – This column provides the agency responsible for oversight of the mitigation implementation, and is to be dated and initialed by the agency representative based on the documentation provided by the construction cont ractor or through personal verification by agency staff.

Biological Resources
B-1: To avoid take of any species

Treaty Act (MBTA), if construction
activities occur within the bird breeding
season (February 15 through September
15) then a pre-construction nesting bird
survey shall be conducted no more than
30 days prior to the start of construction
by a qualified biologist. The nest
survey shall include the project site and
areas immediately adjacent to the site
that could potentially be affected by
project activities such as noise, human
activity, dust, etc. If active nests are

found on or immediately adjacent to the
project site, then the qualified biologist
will establish an appropriate buffer zone
around the active nests, typically a 300-
foot radius for songbirds and a 500-foot
radius for raptors. Project activities
shall be avoided within the buffer zone
until the nest is deemed no longer active
by the biologist. The monitoring
biologist will monitor the nest(s) during
construction and document any
findings. Once the monitoring biologist
determines that the nest is no longer
active then the buffer area would no
longer be in effect.
Frequency:
Once during pre-
construction.
As necessary during
construction.
Cultural Resources
CR-1: In the event that any
archaeological materials are
encountered during ground-disturbing
Project-related activities, all activities
must be suspended in the vicinity of the
find. An archeologist shall be obtained
and empowered to halt or divert
ground-disturbing activities. A plan
must be instituted and completed before
ground-disturbing activities can
recommence in the area of the find to
allow for the recovery of the find. The
archeologist shall describe the find in a
professional report which shall receive
reasonable wide distribution. Any
recovered finds shall be prepared to the
point of identification. If determined to
