Introduction This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(d), which require a public agency to adopt a program for monitoring or reporting on the changes it has required in the project or conditions of approval to substantially lessen significant environmental effects. Specifically, Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 states: "... the [lead] 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 ... program ... shalI be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation." The City of Carson, specifically the Planning Division of the Community Development Department, is the Lead Agency for the proposed project. The MMRP describes the procedures for the implementation of all of the mitigation measures identified in the MND for the proposed project. Mitigation measures set forth in the MMRP are specific and enforceable and are capable of being fully implemented by the City of Carson, the various applicants, and/or other identified public agencies of responsibility.
