UC CEQA Handbook: Chapter 5.1 - Introduction |
|
CEQA requires that every public agency, including the University, mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment when it is feasible to do so. Mitigation measures are generally developed for all significant impacts to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Where feasible, the campus should make these measures conditions of project approval. In doing so, the campus must identify a funding source, mitigation trigger, and a feasible schedule for implementation of all mitigation measures.
Monitoring of mitigation measures (CEQA Guidelines Section 15097) requires that the decision maker adopt a program to monitor all mitigation measures, and project revisions, to ensure that they are implemented. Monitoring provides a benefit to the University by enabling the University to understand which mitigation techniques are successful, and which mitigation measures may need to be clarified in subsequent documents. Table 10 is a sample Mitigation Monitoring Status Report Checklist.
