Environmental Mitigated Measures
Air quality impacts may occur during the site preparation including grading
and equipment exhaust as it is used on site. Major sources of emissions
during this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and
equipment and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 99_65
TT 16026 - AMETHYST ESTATES, L.P.
July 14, 1999
Page 6
and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces,as well as soil disturbances
by grading filling. NOx and PM10 levels will be exceeded on a daily basis
during construction. The following mitigation measures will be required to
reduce impacts to a less-than significant level:
1) The Construction Contractor shall select the construction equipment
used on site based on low emission factors and high energy efficiency.
The Construction Contractor shall ensure that construction grading
plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned
and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2) The Construction Contractor shall utilize electric or diesel-powered
equipment in lieu of gasoline-powered engines where feasible.
3) The Construction Contractor shall ensure that construction grading
plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment
when not in use. During smog season (May through October), the
overall length of the construction period should be extended; thereby,
decreasing the size of the area prepared each day, to minimize
vehicles and equipment operating at the same time.
4) The Construction Contractor shall support and encourage ride-sharing
and transit incentives for the construction crew.
5) Dust generated by the development activities shall be retained on site
and kept to a minimum by following the dust control measures listed
below.
a) During clearing, grading, earth moving, excavation, or
transportation of cut or fill materials, water trucks or sprinkler
systems shall be used to prevent dust from leaving the site and
to create a crust after each day's activities cease.
b) During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be
used to keep all areas of vehicle movement damp enough to
prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this would
include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after
work is completed for the day, and whenever wind exceeds 15
miles per hour.
c) After clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation is
completed; the entire area of disturbed soil shall be treated
immediately by pickup of the soil until the area is paved or
otherwise developed so that dust generation will not occur.
d) Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept
moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation.

e) Trucks transporting soil, sand, cut or fill materials and/or
construction debris to or from the site shall be tarped from the
point of origin.
6) The Construction Contractor shall utilize, as much as possible, pre-
coated natural colored building materials, water-based or low-VOC
coating, and coating transfer or spray equipment with high transfer
efficiency, such as high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray method,
or manual coating applications such as paint brush,hand roller,trowel,
spatula, dauber, rag, or sponge.

This Mitigation Monitoring Program(MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance.The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of
the conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. An MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when,
and to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting
documentation will be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority
for processing the project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following
address:

completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City
department and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational
personnel.

construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after
written notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also
has the authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure
attached hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the
