We discuss the acquisition and reduction of the survey data, collected over 40 nights of 6.5m MMT and Magellan time, employing four different multiobject spectrographs. We determine that no biases are introduced by combining data sets obtained with different telescope and spectrograph combinations. Special care is taken to determine redshift uncertainties using repeat observations. The redshift catalog consists of 9768 new and unique galaxy redshifts. 82.4% of the catalog redshifts are between z=0.1 and z=0.7, and the catalog median redshift is z_med_=0.36. The data from this survey will be used to study the lens environments and line-of-sight structures to gain a better understanding of the effects of large-scale structure on lens statistics and lens-derived parameters.</description><source format="bibcode">2015ApJS..219...29M</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/219/29</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/VIII/72">VIII/72 : CLASS survey of radio sources (Myers+, 2003)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/VIII/60">VIII/60 : Interferometer phase calibration sources (Patnaik+ 1998)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/213/35">J/ApJS/213/35 : SHELS: galaxy redshift survey for R&lt;=20.6 (Geller+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/556/A22">J/A+A/556/A22 : R-band light curves of RX J1131-1231 (Tewes+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/425/2116">J/MNRAS/425/2116 : Arizona CDFS Environment Survey, ACES (Cooper+, 2012)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/200/8">J/ApJS/200/8 : AGES: the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (Kochanek+, 2012)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/536/A53">J/A+A/536/A53 : R-band light curves of HE 0435-1223 (Courbin+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/690/670">J/ApJ/690/670 : The Sloan lens ACS Survey.
