Page 3
REVISED MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
The legal basis for the development and implementation of mitigation measures lies in the
California Environtnental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 21002 of CEQA, public
agencies should not approve projects as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible
mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of such projects. Subsection 21002.1 further requires that each public agency shall
mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment of projects it approves or carries out
whenever it is feasible to do so.
Assembly Bill (AB) 3180 was enacted in 1989 to ensure that required mitigation measures and
project alternatives were implemented. AB 3180 specifies the public agency's responsibility to
adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting program:
SECTION I. Section 21081.6 is added to the Public Resources Code, to read: 21081.6.
When malting the findings required by subdivision (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting
a negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 21081, the
public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the 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. The reporting or monitoring program
shall be designed to ensure compliance during Project implementation. For those changes
which have been required or incorporated into the Project at the request of an agency
having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the Project, that agency
shall, if so requested by the lead or responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed
reporting or monitoring program.
The monitoring program must be adopted when a public agency makes its findings under CEQA
so that the program can be made a condition of Project approval in order to mitigate significant
effects on the environment.
PURPOSE
This Mitigation Monitoring Program is designed to serve as a tool for the evaluation of Project
compliance with mitigation measures accepted from the EIR.. The basic objectives of the
Mitigation Monitoring Program are to achieve the following:
+ To report to the City Council, and the public, information regarding compliance with the
EIR mitigation measures; and
To provide assurance and documentation that the studies and actions called for in the
mitigation measures are being performed as planned.
Resolution No. 2016-008 N.C.S. Page 4
DOCUMENT FORMAT
Compliance with Existing Programs
This document presents the applicable federal, state, regional, county, and local policies and
regulations with which the project must comply. Compliance with these policies and regulations
will result in avoidance and/or minimization of adverse environmental impacts.
Measures Included in the Project
This document presents a listing and description of measures and standards which have been
incorporated into the project design. The City has adopted these measures and incorporated them
as part of the project in order to avoid or minimize potential environmental impacts. These
measures represent standard engineering, design, construction, and maintenance practices. The
process for the development of these measures began during the scoping and early planning
phase of the project. Measures were developed to change the project and avoid potential impacts
identified by the public and federal, state, and local agencies. Other measures were developed as
a result of geotechnical, biological, cultural, and hydrological analysis in order to avoid or
minimize potential impacts.
Because these measures are part of the project, they do not qualify under the normal definition of
mitigation. However, these measures have been included in this chapter to provide a mechanism
to ensure that these measures are implemented and monitored, and to assist the reader in
understanding the commitments made by the City of Petaluma.
This document includes measures to be implemented in all phases of the project, including
planning and design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Compliance with these measures
will result in avoidance and/or minimization of adverse environmental impacts.
Mitigation Measures
This document incorporates mitigation measures recommended in Chapter 4, Environmental
Analysis, of the Water Recycling Facility and River Access Improvements EIR (2002) and
revisions made in the E1R Addendum (2004). The mitigation measures listed in this document
are recommended by the consultant team to avoid or reduce environmental impacts. As
described above under Background, the City is required to mitigate impacts whenever it is
feasible. Mitigation measures will be adopted by the City at the time of project approval. At that
time, the City has the option of approving alternate mitigation measures, if they can be shown to
be effective and feasible.
Some of the mitigation measures will only be implemented during the final planning and detailed
design of the project. They often require the refinement of the final project design to
accommodate particular environmental constraints Other mitigation measures are intended to be,
implemented prior to, during, and immediately following project construction. These measures
generally require the construction manager to follow certain constraints during construction and
to repair and rehabilitate impacts resulting from construction of the project. Finally, there are
mitigation measures to be implemented during operation of the project. These measures generally
Resolution No. 2016-008 N.C.S. Page 5
require monitoring of operations over time and the modification of those operations to reduce
adverse environmental impacts. Compliance with all of these measures would result in the
reduction of adverse environmental impacts.
ADMINISTRATION
The Director of the Water Resources and Conservation Department and/or his/her designee will
be responsible for overall implementation and administration of the Mitigation Monitoring
Program. In order to carry out the mitigation monitoring program, the Director will designate a
staff person to serve as coordinator among the various agencies and departments. This person
(Coordinator) will ensure that each mitigation measure is implemented to the standards specified
in the EIR and is completed in a timely manner. if current staffing within the Department cannot
absorb the work demand to implement the program., a private contractor will be hired to manage
and coordinate the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. The contractor will serve under
the direction of the Director.
Administration of the Mitigation Monitoring Program will include the following:
• Documentation of permit approvals by other agencies;
• Compliance with conditions of project approval;
• Routine inspections and reporting activities;
• Plan checks;
• Coordination of activities of consultants hired by the City when such expertise and
qualifications are necessary;
• Coordination with applicable agencies that have mitigation monitoring and reporting
responsibilities (if any);
• Follow-up and response to citizens' complaints;
• Development of a work plan and schedule for monitoring activities;
• Maintenance of a mitigation monitoring checklist or other suitable mitigation compliance
summary;
• Implementation of corrective actions or enforcement measures, as needed;
• Preparation of reports of the status of implementation and monitoring of mitigation
measures; and
• Monitoring of financial resources associated with the program.
MITIGATION MEASURE FORMAT
Table 3-1 presents the format for each mitigation measure and the information that each measure
will contain.
IMPLEMENTATION
Each responsible individual or agency listed as a "Monitoring Agency" in the Mitigation
Monitoring Program will be responsible for determining whether the mitigation measures
Resolution No. 2016-008 N.C.S. Page 6
contained within the monitoring program have been implemented. A Monitoring Agency may
submit a Verification Report Form (see page 3-6) or other verification report to the Coordinator
that documents compliance with each of the mitigation measures for which they are responsible.
Based on the information provided by the reports, the Coordinator will maintain a mitigation
monitoring checklist that documents the completion staters of all required mitigation measures as
shown in Table 3-2. Prior to issuance of grading or building permits, the Coordinator will review
the mitigation monitoring program checklist to ensure that the Project design is in compliance
with all mitigation measures that are required to be implemented as a condition of the permit.
ENFORCEMENT
If a responsible individual or agency determines that compliance has not been achieved, a written
notice shall be delivered to the Director or Coordinator 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/or remedies shall be
required, as appropriate and at the discretion of the Director,
APPROVAL AND CHANGES
This Mitigation Monitoring Program is adopted in conjunction with the Final EIR and project
approvals for the project. Subsequent changes to the Mitigation Monitoring Program may be
approved by the Director if deemed to meet the intent of said mitigation.

Create a self -guided tour for visitors linking brochure
highlights to features of the ranch (e.g., residence, landings,
railroad stop) through signage.
• Offer selected equipment (e.g., haystacker) to agricultural
museums.
Prevent Adverse Effect by Neglect
• A caretaker may live in the Masciorini residence after project
construction is completed. Any alterations to the residence
needed to accommodate the caretaker must be taken into
account in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (Secretary's
Standards).
• Maintain the residence in its current condition, or rehabilitate it
in accordance with the Secretary's Standards, to prevent loss of
historical integrity.

NABS -standards recording.
• Update the DPR 523 forms.
• Present the NABS -standard recording, history of the Masciorini
Ranch and updated DPR 523 forms in a report to submit to the
KWIC, the City, the State Water Resources Control Board
(State Water Board), and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Monitoring
• To effectively address unanticipated cultural resource
discoveries, provide archaeological monitoring by a
professional archaeologist for ground disturbing activities
within and adjacent to the Ranch complex core and for
demolition of Masciorini Ranch 'outbuildings. The duration
and intensity of the program can range from full time
monitoring to "as needed" inspections on either a regular or
intermittent basis throughout all ground disturbing operations.
Monitoring may be used 1) to ensure that construction avoids
ESAs, 2) to ensure that any significant features that may have
been missed during preconstruction identification are recorded
Resolution No. 2016-008 N.C.S. Page 39
and properly treated, and 3) to identify archaeological resources
that may occur but could not be addressed in advance of
construction because they were deeply buried or covered by
buildings or structures that could not be moved during
preconstruction identification (Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation 1989:49).
• Conduct monitoring by a Project Archaeologist with
appropriate regional experience to ensure that prehistoric and
historical cultural materials are preserved and to ascertain
whether or not construction may continue or should be
redirected after the unexpected discovery of any cultural
materials.
The Project Archaeologist will have the authority to
temporarily halt construction operations within 50 feet of an
unanticipated find to determine if significant cultural resources
are present and if they will be adversely affected by continuing
construction operations. Work may continue outside a 50 -foot
radius of the find.
In the event that cultural resources are exposed during
construction, the Project Archaeologist will immediately stop
work at the location of the find or if the Project Archaeologist
is not present, a responsible member of the construction crew
will stop work at the find. The Environmental Manager (or
other designated individual including the Construction
Manager) will be notified of the discovery and the temporary
work stoppage. The Project Archaeologist, if not present when
the find is discovered, will be immediately notified by the
Environmental Manager.
• The Project Archaeologist will immediately notify the State
Water Board if cultural resources over 45 years old are exposed
during construction, Formally record finds over 45 years old
on DPR 523 forms and recommend measures to avoid adverse
effects to it during construction.
Reduce Visual Effects
• Incorporate rural building design (pole barn) at the main
electrical building so that it will be in keeping with the Ranch's
historical setting.

receiving water if discharged and, if necessary, identify and control
the source of dioxin/furan congeners to avoid causing an impact in
receiving waters and to comply with the anticipated mass
emissions limit. If the TEF normalized concentration of three
consecutive samples of a dioxin/furan congener exceeds the lowest
CTR or Basin Plan criterion for 2,3,7,8-TCDD (currently 0.014
µg/L) or any future CTR or Basin Plan criterion established for that
congener, the City shall implement a Dioxin/Furan Congener
Source Reduction Program for non -atmospheric sources of
dioxin/furan congeners. Under this program, the City will
establish local pretreatment limits for non -atmospheric sources of
the dioxin/furan congener and will provide for enforcement of
these limits.

BIO -1a Aquatic Species Protection Program
Description: The City shall implement an Aquatic Species Protection Plan, as
follows:
A Worker Environmental Awareness Training Program for
construction personnel shall be provided.
Any ground -disturbing construction activity in Ellis Creek
(i.e.) in the bank or bed of the channel) shall be 1)
conducted when no or low freshwater flow from upstream
into the work area (which will potentially be tidal at the
time of construction) is occurring to avoid downstream
transport of sediment and impacts on any migrating
salmonid fish, or other rare aquatic species; and 2)
conducted between coffer dams around which any tidal or
stream flow shall be routed. Prior to coffer dam
installation, a qualified biologist shall seine the area
between the dams and the area within 25 feet of the dams to
determine if sensitive species are present. If sensitive
species are present, they should be relocated in consultation
with NMFS, USFWS and DFG consistent with federal and
State regulations.
Facilities shall be located and constructed using methods
that minimize the loss of existing riparian vegetation.
Unavoidable loss of riparian vegetation shall be mitigated
by planting sufficient riparian vegetation of like species so
as to compensate for the loss.
• A 20 -foot buffer zone from the top of the bank of Ellis
Creel, shall be established, where feasible, and fenced
during construction.
If aquatic habitat must be removed, create or restore like
habitat on site at a compensatory ratio of 1:1 (1 acres of
restored habitat for every 1 acre impacted) or as required by
the Corps of Engineers or Regional Water Quality Control
Board. Identify opportunities to improve current habitat
conditions within Ellis Creek and implement, where
feasible. Cropped upland is available as mitigation sites for
salt marsh, freshwater marsh, or stream impacts.
Shollenberger Park also has sites available for mitigation
for river habitat impacts.
• Best management practices shall be implemented to control
erosion, sedimentation, and runoff of pollutants. As an
appropriate example, best management practices are
described in the Caltrans Storm Water Quality Handbooks,
Construction Site Best Managenzerit Practices Manual
Resolution No. 2016-008 N.C.S. Page 54
(November 2000). Refer to PD -8 for a potential list. These
shall be implemented as necessary under the supervision of
the construction manager. Detailed specifications shall be
incorporated onto bid documents and construction
drawings.
• Construction and grading activities that would affect Ellis
Creels, or upland areas that might erode into the creek, shall
be restricted to the dry season.

13I0-1 b Rare, Threatened and Endangered Plant Protection Program
Description: The City shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct floristically -
based surveys for special -status plants in accordance with the
CDFG's "Guidelines for Assessing the Effects of Proposed
Developments on Rare and Endangered Plants and Plant
Communities" prior to initiation of construction activities. The
purpose of these surveys will be to locate and identify any special -
status plants that may occur in the proposed construction zone.
If special -status plants are located during the surveys, exclusionary
buffer zones (recommend a minimum 20 -foot buffer, where
feasible) shall be established around each population site. Mesh
fencing shall be installed at the boundary of the exclusionary buffer
zone prior to initiation of construction activities.
If complete avoidance cannot be achieved, the City shall submit a
site-specific mitigation and compensation program for the affected
plants in consultation with the CDFG. The mitigation program
shall include the results of the surveys, delineation of suitable
habitats for restoration or planting of rare species, procedures for
obtaining seed before construction, and performance standards for
success of the mitigation program. Sufficient areas exist along Ellis
Creek and elsewhere on the site to create or restore plant
communities if needed.

B1O-2a Active Raptor and Migratory Bird Nest Protection Program
Description: The City shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct pre -
construction surveys to determine if any active raptor or migratory
bird nests occur within 500 feet of the project area at least two
weeks prior to initiation of construction activities.
If active nests are located in the study area, construction exclusion
zones shall be established around each active nest. Appropriate
construction exclusion zones shall be established through
consultation with CDFG. Construction activities shall be
prohibited within exclusion zone until the end of the nesting
season.
During construction, a qualified biologist shall monitor each nest
to evaluate- potential nesting disturbances caused by the
construction activities. The monitor shall have the authority to
stop construction if it appears to be having a negative impact on the
nesting raptors. The monitor shall also monitor the nest to
determine when the young have fledged and submit weekly reports
to the CDFG and the City of Petaluma throughout the nesting
season.

B10 -2b Rookery/Nest Protection Program
Description: A qualified biologist will conduct pre -construction surveys to
determine if rookeries or other nests of protected species occur
within 500 feet of an active project construction area. Appropriate
construction exclusion zones and seasonal limitations shall be
established through consultation with the California Department of
Fish and Game to ensure that no construction activities occur
within the exclusion zone of an active rookery or nest during the
seasonal limitation.
If an active rookery or nest is found, a qualified biologist shall
monitor it to evaluate potential disturbances caused by the
construction activities. The monitor shall have the authority to
stop construction if it appears to be having a negative impact on the
rookery or nest.
