ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER PRODUCTION FACILITY EXPANSION MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM INTRODUCTION On 3anuary 1, 1989, California State Assembly I~ill (AB) 3180 became effective. AB 3180 requires state and local agencies to adopt programs for the monitoring and reporting of the implementation of mitigation measures addressing the significant environmental impacts of projects the agencies approve subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Consistent with AB 3180, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been developed for use by the City of Santa Aha and the Register for the Register Production Facility Expansion Project. BACKGROUND OF THE PRO~ECT The Register is the producer and distributor ot the largest Orange county based general circulation newspaper, with morning circulation of approximately 300~000 copies and afternoon]evening circcllation of approximately 90,000 copies. The Register has been in publication in Orange County since November 19~. The existing production facility has been in operation since November 19.%% and was later expanded~ and the existing office building was occupied in August 1986. As a result of projected increases in circulation over the next 20 years, expected population increases and overall increases in demand for the newspaper in Orange County, the Register is proposing to expand its production facility capabilities to ensure it can print and distribute sufficient copies of the daily paper to satisfy demand. The environmental process and findings for the proposed project are documented in the following technical reports: Draft Orange County Register Production Facility Expansion Environmental Impact Report and Technical Appendices (P&I3 Technologies, October 1990) Response to Comments Received on the Draft Orange County Register Production Facility Environmental Impact Report (P&D Technologies, December 1990). These reports are on file at the City of Santa Ana. The production facility expansion is described in detail in Chapter 2.0 of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). DEVELOPMENT C~ THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM The basis of the Mitigation Monitoring Program is the mitigation measures identified by impact category in Chapter q.0 of the project EIR and the refinements to those measures and the addition of new measures as documented in the Response to Comments Report. The development of the program was based on the following procedures~ Identification of the specific mitigation measures proposed for the project from Chapter ~.0 of the project EIR and refinements to those measures and the addition of new measures in the Response to Comments report. Identification of the key dates and events in the project implementation schedule.
