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 these measures' implementation and completion
is especially important for linear and other 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.
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 (e.g., erosion control plans, public notification
plans, unanticipated discovery plants, 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.
