32. Certification by the RGU <br />In an AUAR document, no certification by the RGU is required. However, the RGU is <br />legally responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the document, for properly <br />conducting the process associated with it, and for implementing the mitigation elements <br />contained within the plan. <br />33. Mitigation Plan <br />The final AUAR document must include an explicit mitigation plan. At the RGU's <br />option, a draft plan may be included in the draft AUAR document; of course, <br />whether or not there is a separate item for a draft mitigation plan, proposed <br />mitigation must be addressed through the document. <br />It must be understood that the mitigation plan in the final dicur'uerit takes on the <br />nature of a commitment by the RGU to prevent potentially significant impacts <br />from occurring from specific projects. It is more than just a list of ways to reduce <br />impacts- it must include information about how the mitigation will be applied and <br />assurance that it will. Otherwise the AUAR may not be adequate and/or specific <br />projects may lose their exemption from the individual review. The RGU's final <br />action on the AUAR must specifically adopt the mitigation plan; therefore, the <br />plan has a political as well as a technical dimension. <br />Mitigation elements have been included with each of the Tasks contained within this <br />AUAR. The various elements have been combined to present a single reviewable <br />element in Appendix D. <br />The City of Ramsey, in adopting this AUAR document, commits itself to implementing <br />the mitigation elements contained throughout the document. To accomplish this, the City <br />will work with its own programs, as well as those of the State, the County, the <br />developer(s) and any builders they use, and citizens of the City. <br />32/33-1 <br />
