3 Mazda Dealership& Future Dealership INTRODUCTION This Mitigation Monitoring and Report Program (MMRP) Mazda Dealership and Future Dealership Project has been prepared pursuant Section of the Public Resources Code and Section of the CEQA Guidelines. These sections apply when the public agency makes findings required under CEQA [Section 15091(a)] relative to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in conjunction with approving a project. In order to ensure that mitigation measures identified in the proposed project's CEQA Initial Study are implemented, the public agency shall adopt a program for monitoring and/or reporting on the measures it has imposed and the revisions that it has required in the project to mitigate or avoid potential significant environmental effects. A public agency may delegate reporting or monitoring responsibilities to another public agency or to a private entity that accepts the delegation; however, until mitigation measures have been completed, the lead agency remains responsible for ensuring that implementation of the mitigation measures occurs in accordance with the MMRP. The public agency may choose whether its program will monitor mitigation, report on mitigation, or both. "Reporting" generally consists of a written compliance review that is presented to the decision making body or authorized staff person. A report may be required at various stages project implementation or upon completion of the mitigation measure. "Monitoring" is generally an ongoing or periodic process of project oversight. There is often no clear distinction between monitoring and reporting and the program best suited to ensuring compliance in any given instance usually involves elements of both. Reporting and monitoring are suited to all but the simplest projects. Monitoring ensures that project compliance is checked on a regular basis and, if necessary, after implementation. Reporting ensures that the approving agency is informed of compliance with mitigation requirements. Therefore, this program consists of both monitoring and reporting requirements. This MMRP lists all applicable mitigation measures from the Initial Study Checklist. The method of verification, timing of implementation and responsible party are identified to ensure proper enforcement of the mitigation measures from the Initial Study - Environmental Checklist (IS) to reduce project impacts to less than significant levels. This information is set forth within the following matrix pages. City of Fontana 1 May 2018

4 AIR QUALITY Construction Source Emissions (Required by South Coast Air Quality Management District 2016 Air Quality Management Plan) AQ-1 During, require the use of 2010 and newer diesel haul trucks (e.g., material delivery trucks and soil import/export). If the Lead Agency determines that 2010 model year or newer diesel trucks cannot be obtained, the Lead Agency shall instead requires the use of trucks that meet EPA 2007 model year NOx emissions requirements. Process, City Inspections (s) AQ-2 Require all on-site equipment to meet the following: All off road diesel-powered equipment greater than 50 hp shall meet the Tier 4 emission standards, where available. In addition, all equipment shall be outfitted with BACT devices certified by CARB. Any emissions control device used by the contractor shall achieve emissions reductions that are no less than what could be achieved by a Level 3 diesel emissions control strategy for a similarly sized engine as defined by CARB regulations. A copy of each unit s certified tier specification, BACT documentation, and CARB or SCAQMD operating permit shall be provided at the time of mobilization of each applicable unit of equipment. Encourage contractors to apply for SCAQMD SOON funding incentives. The SOON program provides funds to accelerate the clean up of off-road diesel vehicles, such as heavy duty equipment. More information on this program can be found at the following website: ttp:// Process, City Inspections (s) City of Fontana 2

5 AQ-3 AQ-4 AQ-5 AQ-6 AQ-7 Prohibit vehicles and equipment from idling longer than five minutes at the site by including these restrictions in the company contract(s) and by posting signs on-site, unless the exceptions in the CARB regulations which pertain to idling requirements are applicable. All on-road heavy-duty diesel trucks or equipment with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 19,500 pounds or greater shall comply with EPA 2007 on-road emission standards for PM and NOx (0.01 gram per brake horsepower - hour (g/bhp-hr) and at least 0.2 g/bhp-hr, respectively). Maintain equipment tuned up and with two to four degree retard diesel engine timing or tuned to manufacturer's recommended specifications that optimize emissions without nullifying engine warranties. The project proponent shall survey and document the proposed project s areas and identify all areas that are served by electricity. Onsite electricity, rather than temporary power generators, shall be used in all areas that are demonstrated to be served by electricity. Provide temporary traffic controls such as a flag person, all phases of significant activity to maintain smooth traffic flow.

Suspend all excavating and grading operations when wind speeds (as instantaneous gusts) exceed 25 mph. Suspend all activities that generate air pollutant emissions first stage smog alerts. Configure parking to minimize traffic interference. Use alternative clean fueled off-road equipment or give extra points in the bidding process for contractors committing to use such equipment.

Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit the site onto paved roads or wash off trucks and any equipment leaving the site for each trip. Apply non-toxic soil stabilizers according to manufacturers specifications to all inactive areas (previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more). Replace ground cover in disturbed areas as quickly as possible to minimize dust.

9 AQ-23 Sweep streets at the end of the day with SCAQMD Rule 1186 and compliant sweepers if visible soil is carried onto adjacent public paved roads (recommend water sweepers with reclaimed water). Process, City Inspections (s) Project Mitigation Measures AQ-24 Apply SCAQMD Rule 403 Measures: Control of particulate emissions from activities is best controlled through the requirements contained in SCAQMD s Rule 403, Tables 1 and 2. The measures contained in these tables are presented as an option to air quality monitoring in Rule 403. It contains measures such as maintaining adequate moisture content in the soil, watering grading areas, establishing ground cover inactive areas and watering unpaved roads. It also identifies additional measures that are applied high wind conditions. The mitigation measure, therefore, is to require that the measures contained in Table 1 and 2 of Rule 403 be utilized. This potentially results in a much higher reduction of particulate emissions than if the air monitoring option contained in Rule 403 was employed. The measure would be triggered prior to the granting of the first grading permit. Process, City Inspections (s) AQ-25 Reduce equipment emissions by implementing the following measures. The following measures should be implemented when feasible. They should be included in improvement Use low emission mobile equipment. Process, City Inspections (s) City of Fontana 7

10 AQ-26 AQ-27 AQ-28 Maintain equipment engines by keeping them tuned. Use low sulfur fuel for stationary equipment. This is required by SCAQMD Rules and Utilize existing power sources (i.e., power poles) when feasible. This measure would minimize the use of higher polluting gas or diesel generators. Configure parking to minimize traffic interference. Minimize obstruction of through-traffic lanes. When feasible, should be planned so that lane closures on existing streets are kept to a minimum. Schedule operations affecting traffic for off-peak hours. Develop a traffic plan to minimize traffic flow interference from activities (the plan may include advance public notice of routing, use of public transportation and satellite parking areas with a shuttle service. Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to provide adequate stacking distance to minimize vehicle idling. Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with automated time clocks and/or occupant sensors. Install energy efficient showroom, service area and parking lot lighting. for the for the for the City of Fontana 8
