At the time of project approval, lead agencies must adopt specific mitigation measures, recommended
in the environmental assessment document, to reduce project impacts during construction and operation.
The monitoring of mitigation measure implementation is especially important for complex and controversial
projects where a variety of habitats or environmental resources could be affected. Mitigation monitoring
can range from 'spot-checking' to full-time on-site inspection based on the size and environmental sensitivity of the project.
Services and Capabilities
- Develop detailed implementation plans for all adopted mitigation measures
- Coordinate with lead and responsible agencies regarding reporting and communication protocols
- Consistently interact with project proponent to develop uniform understanding of mitigation
measure implementation procedures and success criteria
- Technically review pre-construction plans and surveys (e.g.,
biological and cultural surveys, erosion control plans, public
notification plans, unanticipated discovery plans, etc.)
- Develop and maintain project distribution lists for inspection reports
- Design and write public and agency information updates (e.g., newsletters)
- Develop and maintain websites presenting daily, weekly, and monthly reports and maps
- Prepare completion reports summarizing construction progress, mitigation measure
implementation success, problems encountered, and recommendations for improvement.
