MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
PURPOSE OF THE MONITORING PROGRAM
The Mitigation Program is written in accordance with Section 21081.6 of the Public
Resources Code, which was added by Assembly Bill 3180 and became effective on
January 1, 1989. The purpose of the program is to ensure that the mitigation
measures required by the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Carlsbad
Ranch Specific Plan Amendment EIR are properly implemented. The City will
monitor the mitigation measures required for development and operation of the
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment EIR. The Mitigation Monitoring
Checklist provides a mechanism for monitoring the mitigation measures in
compliance with the EIR, and general guidelines for the use and implementation of
the monitoring program are described below.
MITIGATION MONITORING CHECKLIST
The Mitigation Monitoring Checklist is organized by categories of environmental
impacts, (e.g., Biological Resources, Land Use, Traffic/Circulation). For each
impact area, the potential impacts identified in the EIR are summarized and the
required mitigation measures are listed. The following items are identified for each
mitigation measure to ensure proper implementation and to establish a monitoring
system: Monitoring Agency, When Implemented, Implementation Mechanism and
Status. A description of these items is provided below.
Monitoring Agency
For each mitigation measure, the Monitoring Agency is identified. The monitoring
agency is responsible for ensuring that the mitigation measures are properly
implemented. City departments charged with community development, resource
management, infrastructure and public services are typically assigned monitoring
responsibilities. If mitigation measures have been requested by an agency that has
jurisdiction by law over some component of the environment, the City can request
the agency to prepare a mitigation monitoring program for those mitigation
measures.
When Implemented
The mitigation measures required for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan EIR will be
implemented at various times as development proceeds and during operation. Some
measures must be implemented during construction activities, while others must be
implemented when the land use is developed and in operation. For each mitigation
measure, the implementation schedule is identified as Pre-Construction, During
Construction and Post Construction (during operation).

Mitigation Monitoring Program 1
in
Monitoring Mechanism
The Monitoring Mechanism identifies the specific step in the development
regulatory process where implementation of the measure will be required. For
example, completion of geotechnical studies may be required prior to approval of
the grading plan. The information in this column tells the Monitoring Agency how
specific measures will be incorporated into the development process and when
monitoring should occur.
Status
The Status column of the checklist has been intentionally left blank. City staff will
use this column to make notes about the progress made in implementing each
measure. Upon full implementation of the measure, the completion date will be
entered.
HOW TO USE THE MONITORING PROGRAM
The EIR for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan identifies a number of mitigation
measures to reduce significant environmental impacts. Some of the mitigation
measures apply to the entire project site and must be implemented before any
development occurs. Other mitigation measures will be implemented during project
operations. As a result, the implementation schedule for each measure varies as
described in the table.

Mitigation Measures
2. A portion of site CA-SDI-8797 within the Carlsbad
Ranch was identified as significant/important under
City of Carlsbad and CEQA criteria and was
recommended to be mitigated of impacts through
avoidance (Gallegos and Kyle 1992). This site shall
be placed within an open space easement and
capped. Capping shall include placement of 1-2" of
sand followed by 12 to 24 inches of sterile fill soil.
Vegetation allowed within the fill soil should include
grasses and other shallow rooted plants that will not
penetrate the underlying prehistoric site. This area
could also be used for a parking area, upon
completion of capping. Placement of utility lines or
other underground lines shall be placed outside this
sensitive area.
3. Mitigation of impacts for that portion of CA-SDI-
8797 within the additional survey area shall be
achieved through avoidance or the completion of a
City of Carlsbad approved data recovery program. If
a data recovery program is conducted for this site,
the program shall be completed in compliance with
the City of Carlsbad's "Cultural Resource
Guidelines'.

additional or unexpected archaeological features are
discovered, the archaeologist shall report such
findings to the applicant and to the City. If the
archaeological resources are found to be significant,
the archaeological observer shall determine
appropriate actions, in cooperation with the applicant
for exploration and/or salvage. These actions, as
well as final mitigation and disposition of the
resources, shall be subject to the review of the City.
5. * Prior to issuance of a mass-grading permit
the developer shall present a letter to the City of
Carlsbad indicating that a qualified paleontologist
has been retained to carry out an appropriate

* A paleontological monitor shall be on-site at all
times during the original cutting of previously
undisturbed sediments of the Santiago Formation to
inspect cuts for contained fossils. Periodic
inspections of cuts involving the Lindavista
Formation is also recommended. In the event that
fossils are discovered in the Lindavista Formation it
may be necessary to increase the per/day in field
monitoring time. Conversely, if fossils are not being
found then the monitoring should be reduced. (A
paleontological monitor is defined as an individual
who has experience in the collection and salvage of
fossil materials. The paleontological monitor shall
work under the direction of a qualified
paleontologist.)

* When fossils are discovered, the
paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall
recover them. In most cases this fossil salvage can
be completed in a short period of time. However,
some fossil specimens (such as a complete large
mammal skeleton) may require an extended salvage
period. In these instances the paleontologist (or
paleontological monitor) shall be allowed to
temporarily direct, divert, or halt grading to allow
recovery of fossil remains in a timely manner.
Because of the potential for the recovering of small
fossil remains, such as isolated mammal teeth, it
may be necessary in certain instances, to set up a
screen-washing operation on the site.
* Fossil remains collected during the monitoring
and salvage portion of the mitigation program shall
be cleaned, repaired, sorted, and cataloged.
' Prepared fossils, along with copies of all
pertinent field notes, photos, and maps, shall be
deposited (as a donation) in a scientific institution
with permanent paleontological collections such as
the San Diego Natural History Museum. Donation of
the fossils shall be accompanied by financial support
for initial specimen storage.
* A final summary report shall be completed that
outlines the results of the mitigation program. This
report shall include discussions of the methods
used, stratigraphic sections(s) exposed, fossils
collected, and significance of recovered fossils.

Mitigation Measures
6. A certified paleontologist shall monitor all grading
activity associated with the improvements to the I-
5/Cannon Road interchange. If buried cultural
materials are unearthed during construction, work
shall be halted in the vicinity of the find until a
qualified paleontologist can assess its significance.
If the testing demonstrates that a resource is
significant, then a data recovery program will be
necessary. Compliance with this measure shall be
verified by Caltrans.
Direct Impacts
1 . Diegan coastal sage scrub impacts should be
mitigated by creation or restoration at ratios of 2:1
and 1 :1 , respectively, within Preserve Planning Area
3 or the purchase or preservation at a 1 :1 ratio
within the HCP area of Carlsbad.
2. To avoid direct impacts to the area proposed as
natural open space and to the proposed open
space deed restriction, the boundaries of these
areas should be surveyed and fenced. The erection
of fencing and its proper location should be verified
by a biologist or planning department representative.
After project completion, permanent fencing may
need to be established to prevent human intrusion
into the areas.

3. It is anticipated that the gnat catcher pair located
immediately off-site to the east of the project will be
taken during construction of the municipal golf
course being proposed by the City of Carlsbad. As
a result, no mitigation for construction noise impacts
that may occur to this pair are proposed. If through
final design of the City proposed golf course it is
determined that this gnat catcher pair is not taken,
the following mitigation measure for noise impacts
shall be implemented:
During the gnatcatcher breeding season (February
15 through August 15), noise levels during grading
shall not exceed 65 decibels, averaged over a one-
hour period on an A-weighted decibel (dBA),
measured at the edge of Diegan coastal sage scrub
habitat that is occupied by the coastal California
gnatcatcher. Grading could be initiated in areas
adjacent to occupied gnatcatcher habitat prior to
August 15 if the pair has successfully fledged young
and the fledglings are at least three weeks out of the
nest. Grading will be allowed adjacent to habitat
occupied by unpaired individual birds.
4. Lighting should be selectively placed, shielded,
and directed away from the areas listed above, in
particular to avoid potential impacts to the coastal
California gnatcatcher(s) east of the future
LEGOLAND Carlsbad and any that may occur in the
proposed open space.

Paseo del Norte & Cannon Road (CMP Location) -
The southbound approach (SDG&E driveway)
should be constructed and striped as follows: one
exclusive left-turn lane, one shared through/right-turn
lane, and one exclusive right-turn lane. In addition,
the eastbound Cannon Road approach would
require an additional left-turn lane. The resulting lane
configuration in the eastbound direction would be
two exclusive left-turn lanes, one through lane, and
one through/right turn lane. Also, at a point east of
the intersection, an additional westbound Cannon
Road through lane would be required. At the
intersection, this would result in the following lane
configuration in the westbound direction: one
exclusive left-turn lane, two through lanes, and a
shared through/right-turn lane.
