1.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
1.1 Introduction
This is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Hampton Inn and Suites
project. It has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code §21081.6
which, among other things, states that when a governmental agency adopts or certifies a CEQA
document that contains the environmental review of a proposed project, “The public 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
reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project
implementation.”
The City of Rosemead is the lead agency for the project, and is therefore, responsible for
administering and implementing the MMRP. The decision-makers must define specific reporting
and/or monitoring requirements that will be enforced during project implementation and prior to
final approval of the project.
1.2 Project Overview
The project includes a proposed Conditional Use Permit 16-01, Design Review 16-02 and Zone
Change 16-01 to allow the construction of a five-story Hampton Inn and Suites hotel with 123
guest rooms and 125 parking spaces, including 95 standard spaces, 20 compact spaces, 5 RV spaces, 5
handicap spaces and 20 bicycle spaces on approximately 1.83-acres.
1.3 Monitoring and Reporting Procedures
This MMRP includes the following information: (1) mitigation measures that will either eliminate or
lessen the potential impact from the project; (2) the monitoring milestone or phase during which the
measure should be complied with or carried out; (3) the enforcement agency responsible for
monitoring mitigation measure compliance; and (4) the initials of the person verifying the mitigation
measure was completed and the date of verification.
The MMRP will be in place through all phases of a project including project design
(preconstruction), project approval, project construction, and operation (both prior to and post-
occupancy). The City will ensure that all monitoring is documented through periodic reports and
that deficiencies are promptly corrected. The designated environmental monitor will track and
document compliance with mitigation measures, note any problems that may result, and take
appropriate action to rectify problems.
Each mitigation measure is listed and categorized by impact area, with an accompanying discussion
of:
The phase of the project during which the measure should be monitored;
Project review and prior to project approval
During grading or building plan check review and prior to issuance of a grading or
building permit

Archaeological Spot Checks beginning
at depths below two (2) feet to
determine if construction excavations
have exposed or have a high
probability to expose archaeological
resources. After the initial
Archaeological Spot Check, further
periodic checks shall be conducted at
the discretion of the qualified
archaeologist. If the qualified
archaeologist determines that
construction excavations have exposed
or have a high probability to expose
archaeological artifacts construction
monitoring for Archaeological
Resources shall be required. The
project developer shall retain a
qualified archaeological monitor, who
will work under the guidance and
direction of a professional
archaeologist, who meets the
qualifications set forth by the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Professional
Qualifications and Standards. The
archaeological monitor shall be present
during all construction excavations
(e.g., grading, trenching, or
clearing/grubbing) into non-fill
younger Pleistocene alluvial sediments.
Multiple earth-moving construction
activities may require multiple
archaeological monitors. The frequency
of monitoring shall be based on the
rate of excavation and grading
activities, proximity to known
archaeological resources, the materials
being excavated (native versus artificial
fill soils), and the depth of excavation,
and if found, the abundance and type
of archaeological resources
encountered. Full-time monitoring can
be reduced to part-time inspections if
determined adequate by the project
archaeologist.
