Often times as a condition of issuing a permit for construction or altering a resource state and federal agencies require the presence of a biological monitor during a portion of project disturbances. The purpose of a monitor is to insure compliance with the permit, compliance with environmental conditions, laws, and regulations, and insures environmentally sensitive areas and resources are not disturbed as a result of the action. The requirement of a monitor may at first appear burdensome but more often than not this condition can be proposed as bargaining for streamlining the overall mitigation timeline and costs or in lieu of more extensive mitigation. Examples of monitoring include the presence of a monitor during initial ground disturbing and clearing activities to insure no protected resources or species are adversely affected, identification and placement of fencing around environmentally sensitive areas, monitoring the integrity of fencing, tailgate training of construction personnel, and insuring environmental compliance to avoid costly delays or work stoppages.
