MM AQ-1: Low VOC Paint (Construction). During construction, the Project
shall utilize “Super-Compliant” low VOC paints which have been reformulated
to exceed the regulatory VOC limits (i.e., have a lower VOC content than what
is required) put forth by SCAQMD’s Rule 1113 for all architectural coatings.
Super-Compliant low VOC paints shall be no more than 10g/L of VOC. Prior to
issuance of building permits, the City of Grand Terrace Building and Safety
Division shall confirm that plans include the following specifications:
• All architectural coatings will be super-compliant low VOC paints.
• Recycle leftover paint. Take any leftover paint to a household
hazardous waste center; do not mix leftover water-based and oil-
based paints
• Keep lids closed on all paint containers when not in use to prevent
VOC emissions and excessive odors.
• For water-based paints, clean up with water only. Whenever
possible, do not rinse the cleanup water down the drain or pour it
directly into the ground or the storm drain. Set aside the can of
cleanup water and take it to the hazardous waste center
(www.cleanup.org).
• Use compliant low-VOC cleaning solvents to clean paint application
equipment.
• Keep all paint- and solvent-laden rags in sealed containers to
prevent VOC emissions.
• Contractors shall construct/build with materials that do not require
painting and use pre-painted construction materials to the extent
practicable.
• Use high-pressure/low-volume paint applicators with a minimum
transfer efficiency of at least 50 percent or other application
techniques with equivalent or higher transfer efficiency.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
MM BIO-1: To avoid impacts to nesting migratory and/or special-status birds,
the removal of any vegetation with the potential to support nesting migratory
and/or special-status birds should be performed outside of the nesting season
(February 1 through August 31, but potentially earlier if the site can support
nesting raptors). If vegetation must be removed during the nesting season,
then a qualified biologist should perform a nesting bird survey no more than
three days prior to the removal of any vegetation. If active nests are identified
at the site, then the nests should be avoided with an adequate buffer as
determined by the biologist until the nests are no longer active and the young
can survive independently from the nest.

construction) survey of all suitable habitat areas for burrowing owl. The
survey shall follow the 2012 CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation,
which indicates that a survey should be performed 14 to 30 days prior to any
disturbance activities, with a follow up survey within 24 hours prior to the
disturbance. If any burrowing owls are present at the time of the planned
disturbance, then the burrowing owls will be passively excluded or passively
relocated from the site to avoid direct harm to individual owls; however,
exclusion/relocation of nesting owls must occur outside of the breeding
season (February 1 to September 15) to avoid impacts to active nests. The
exclusion/relocation of owls must be approved by CDFW. If applicable, a
Burrowing Owl Exclusion/Relocation Plan should be prepared and submitted
to CDFW for review and approval.

season, a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-construction survey
for Crotch’s bumble bee queens, gynes, and colonies. The survey
shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to construction during
optimal weather conditions (e.g., warm, sunny days between 65- and
90-degrees Fahrenheit). If the pre-construction survey is negative,
no further assessment shall be required, and construction activities
shall be allowed to proceed without any further requirements.
If Crotch bumble bee is detected during the pre-construction survey, the
following measures shall be implemented:
• CESA Compliance: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, it shall be
demonstrated that CESA-required consultation with CDFW regarding
the project’s effects to Crotch bumble bee has occurred. If take of
Crotch bumble bee is expected, an incidental take permit (ITP) shall
be obtained from CDFW. In addition, if an incidental take permit is
issued for the project that covers Crotch bumble bee, that document
shall supersede any inconsistent measures provided in this report.
• Compensatory Mitigation: Compensatory mitigation for permanent
direct impacts to suitable Crotch’s bumble bee habitat shall be offset
through compensatory mitigation, which may include, but is not
necessarily limited to, on-site or off-site habitat preservation,
enhancement, restoration, and/or creation at a ratio of no less than
1:1. However, if an incidental take permit is issued for the project
that covers Crotch’s bumble bee, that document(s) shall supersede
any measures and mitigation ratios provided in this report.
MM BIO-4: In addition to obtaining permits from the USACE, RWQCB, and
CDFW, the Project shall implement mitigation consisting of one or more of the
following options (mitigation would be required at a minimum 1:1 ratio to
offset impacts):
1) Avoidance and conservation of on-site waters;
2) Establishment and/or enhancement of wetlands/riparian habitat on-site;
3) Establishment and/or enhancement of wetlands/riparian habitat off-site;
4) Purchase of credits from an approved mitigation bank/in-lieu fee

MM CUL-1: Applications for future development facilitated by the Project,
shall be required to comply with the following mitigation measure that
established the framework for evaluating any buildings to be impacted that
may be in excess of 50 years.
For any buildings/structures in excess of 50 years of age having its original
structural integrity intact and not already fully evaluated in Appendices C2
through C5, the applicant shall retain a qualified professional historian to
determine whether the affected building/structure is historically significant.
The evaluation of historic architectural resources shall be based on criteria
such as age, location, context, association with an important person or event,
uniqueness, or structural integrity, as indicated in State CEQA Guidelines
§15064.5. A historical resource report shall be submitted by the applicant to
the City for approval and shall include the methods usedto determine the
presence or absence of historical resources, evaluate the significance of any
historical resources identified, identify potential impacts from the proposed
project, and propose measures to mitigate any impacts. The City shall require
implementation of appropriate measures based on the report to reduce
impacts to less than significant, if possible. If not possible to reduce impacts
to less than significant, additional CEQA review shall be required.

would be performed during and after the site rough grading operations.
During and/or near the completion of site grading, additional expansion index
testing would be conducted to characterize selected areas and to develop lot-
specific recommendations for foundation design as related to the expansion
potential of the graded site soils.
During construction, the qualified geotechnical engineer will perform
additional observation and testing in correlation of the findings of the City-
approved final geotechnical investigations, and if applicable, provide
supplemental investigation, with the actual subsurface conditions exposed
during construction.
MM GEO-2: All earth moving operations reaching beyond the disturbed
surface soils, generally below the depth of two feet, should be monitored for
paleontological resources. The monitor should be prepared to quickly salvage
fossil remains as they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and should
also collect samples of sediments that are likely to contain fossils of small
invertebrates and vertebrates. However, the monitor must have the power to
temporarily halt or divert grading equipment to allow for removal of
abundant or large specimens.
Collected samples of sediments should be processed to recover small
invertebrate and vertebrate fossils, and the recovered specimens should be
identified and prepared for curation at a repository with permanent
retrievable storage.
A report of findings, including an itemized inventory of recovered specimens,
should be prepared upon completion of the steps outlined above. Approval
of the report by the City of Grand Terrace would signify the completion of the
mitigation program.
After Project design has been finalized to determine the precise extent and
location of planned ground disturbances, and prior to construction activity, a
qualified paleontologist (to be retained by the Applicant) will prepare a
paleontological resource monitoring plan (PRMP) for approval by the City.
