PREFACE
Section 21081.6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) requires a Lead Agency to adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) whenever it approves a project for which measures have been required to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The purpose of the monitoring and reporting program is to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation.

The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) prepared for the Bellarmine College Preparatory Master Plan Update project concluded that implementation of the project could result in significant effects on the environment and mitigation measures were incorporated into the proposed project or are required as a condition of project approval. This MMRP addresses those measures in terms of how and when they will be implemented.

The mitigation measures enumerated in this document would reduce the level of impact of potential environmental effects of the proposed action. In all cases, these mitigation measures would reduce the impact of effects determined to be significant prior to mitigation to less-than-significant levels.

This document does not discuss those subjects for which the IS/MND concluded that the impacts from implementation of the project would be less than significant.

I, , the applicant, on the behalf of , hereby agree to implement the mitigation measures described below which have been developed in conjunction with the preparation of an IS/MND for my proposed project. I understand that these mitigation measures or substantially similar measures will be adopted as conditions of approval with my development permit request to avoid or significantly reduce potential environmental impacts to a less than significant level.

AIR QUALITY
Impact AQ-1: Construction activities associated with the proposed project would expose sensitive receptors at the maximally exposed indivi dual (“MEI”) to toxic air contaminants (“TAC”) emissions (cancer risk would be 20.80 per million and annual PM 2.5 emissions of 0.36 micrograms) in excess of the BAAQMD thresholds for cancer risk and annual PM2.5 emissions of 10 per million and 0.3 micrograms, respectively.

MM AQ-1.1: Prior to issuance of any demolition,
grading, and/or building permits (whichever occurs
earliest), the project applicant shall submit a
construction operations plan to the Director of Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement or the Director’s
designee that includes specifications of the equipment to be used during construction. The plan shall be
accompanied by a letter signed by a qualified air quality specialist, verifying that the equipment included in the plan meets the standards set forth below.
• 1. All construction equipment larger than 25
horsepower used at the site for more than two
continuous days or 20 hours total shall meet U.S. EPA
Tier 4 emission standards for PM (PM10 and PM2.5),
if feasible, otherwise,
• If use of Tier 4 equipment is not available,
alternatively use equipment that meets U.S. EPA
emission standards for Tier 3 engines and include
particulate matter emissions control equivalent to
CARB Level 3 verifiable diesel emission control
devices that altogether achieve a 60 percent
reduction in particulate matter exhaust in

emissions by 60 percent or greater. Elements of the
plan could include a combination of some of the
following measures:
• Implementation of No. 1 above to use Tier 4 or
alternatively fueled equipment,
• Installation of electric power lines during early
construction phases to avoid use of diesel generators
and compressors,
• Use of electrically-powered equipment,
• Forklifts and aerial lifts used for exterior and
interior building construction shall be electric or
propane/natural gas powered,
• Change in construction build-out plans to lengthen
phases, and
• Implementation of different building techniques that
result in less diesel equipment usage.

noise-sensitive land uses of the construction schedule, in writing, and provide a written schedule of “noisy”
construction activities to adjacent land uses and
nearby residences.
• If complaints are received or excessive noise levels
cannot be reduced using the measures above, erect a
temporary noise control blanket barrier along
surrounding building facades that face the
construction sites.
• Designate a “disturbance coordinator” who would be
responsible for responding to any complaints about
construction noise. The disturbance coordinator will
determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., bad
muffler, etc.) and will require that reasonable
measures be implemented to current the problem,
conspicuously post a telephone number for the
disturbance coordinator at the construction site and
include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule.
• A construction noise logistics plan that specifies hours of construction, noise and vibration minimization
measures, posting or notification of construction
schedules, and designation of a noise disturbance

Compliance with MM NOI-1.1 would ensure the
project’s construction noise impacts would be less than significant.

Impact NOI-2: Construction vibration levels at adjacent structures on Myrtle Street and University Avenue would range from 0.003 to 0.210 i n/sec PPV, exceeding the General Plan threshold of 0.2 in/sec PPV for buildings of conventional construction approximately 30 feet or less from the project site.

MM NOI-2.1: The following measures shall be
included in a Construction Vibration Operations Plan
and implemented during construction to reduce
vibration levels to 0.2 in/sec PPV or less at 878, 884, 896, and 898 Myrtle Street and 959 and 971 University
Avenue.
• Place operating equipment on the construction site as far as possible from vibration-sensitive receptors.
• Use smaller vibratory rolling equipment, for example
the Caterpillar model CP433E vibratory compactor,
within 30 feet of normal buildings.
• Select demolition methods not involving impact tools. • Avoid dropping heavy equipment within 30 feet of
normal buildings, and use alternative methods for
breaking up existing pavement, such as a pavement
grinder.

Submit the Construction
Vibration Operations plan
that reduces vibration
levels to 0.2 in/sec PPV or
less at 878, 884, 896, and
898 Myrtle Street and 959
and 971 University Avenue
to the Director of Planning,
Building and Code
Enforcement or Director’s
designee.

Implement Construction
Vibration Operations plan.

Prior to the issuance
of any grading or
demolition permits
Implement plan
during all phases of
construction.

With implementation of the above mitigation measures,
project construction vibration would be reduced to
below the City’s 0.2 in/sec PPV threshold at 878, 884,
896, and 898 Myrtle Street and 959 and 971 University
Avenue.
