Introduction
Pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public
Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq.) and Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines
(California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et seq.), public agencies are required to adopt a
mitigation monitoring and reporting program to ensure that the mitigation measures identified in
an Environmental Impact Report are implemented. As stated in Section 21081.6(a)(1) of the
Public Resources Code:
“The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes
made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted 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.”
