As
noted
in
Table
4.I-1
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
include
a
wetland
mitigation
plan
(Specific
Plan
Appendix
R)
that
provides
measures
to
address
impacts
on
existing
jurisdictional
wetlands.
Proposed
plans
would
be
subject
to
United
States
Army
Corps
of
Engineers,
California
Department
of
Fish
and
Wildlife,
and
BCDC
review.
Additional
analysis
of
wetland
impacts
is
provided
in
Section
4.C,
Biological
Resources
,
and
additional
analysis
of
hydrology
impacts
is
provided
in
Section
4.H,
Hydrology
and
Water
Quality
,
of
the
Draft
EIR.
The
measures
proposed
by
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios,
along
with
implementation
of
mitigation
measures
4.C-4a
and
4.C-4b,
provide
opportunities
for
enhancement
and
restoration
of
wetlands
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
Consultation
with
responsible
agencies
occurred
as
part
of
the
public
review
of
the
Draft
EIR,
and
will
continue
through
development
of
restoration
design
plans,
and
regulatory
permitting
for
required
wetlands
enhancement
and
restoration.

Comment
CJohnson-18
provides
no
specific
detail
as
to
how
Project
Site
development
fails
to
address
“improved
water
quality.”
Table
4.I-1
concludes
that
each
of
the
four
development
scenarios
is
consistent
with
Policy
362
calling
for
improved
water
quality
since,
as
described
in
Section
4.H
,
Hazards
and
Hazardous
Materials
,
of
the
Draft
EIR,
“leachate
seeps
into
Brisbane
Lagoon
have
been
identified
as
a
recurring
condition
and
will
be
prevented
by
reconstructing
and
installing
a
barrier
membrane
to
prevent
landfill
leachate
from
migrating
into
Visitacion
Creek
as
part
of
the
ongoing
remedial
activities
at
the
landfill.”
Construction
of
such
a
barrier
membrane
will
also
protect
water
quality
in
the
lagoon.
Table
4.I-1
also
notes
in
relation
to
Policy
363
addressing
water
quality
in
the
lagoon,
“implementation
of
standard
erosion
control
measures
(Storm
Water
Pollution
Prevention
Plan)
would
be
required
to
minimize
the
construction-related
runoff
and
the
potential
impacts
related
to
erosion,
increased
sedimentation,
and
pollutants
in
stormwater.”
As
described
on
Draft
EIR
pages
4.H-19
to
-24,
the
combination
of
BMPs
under
a
SWPPP
that
are
required
for
constructions-
and
post-construction
NPDES
requirements
would
be
designed
to
protect
water
quality
of
receiving
waters.
Although
nonpoint
source
pollutants
are
considered
the
greatest
threat
to
water
quality,
maintenance
of
drain
inlets
and
removal
of
trash
is
also
important
and
would
be
included
as
part
of
the
Final
Stormwater
Management
Plan
required
by
Mitigation
Measure
4.H-1c
(“The
SMP
shall
provide
operations
and
maintenance
guidelines
for
all
of
the
BMPs
identified
in
the
SMP,
including
LID
measures
and
other
BMPs
designed
to
mitigate
potential
water
quality
degradation
of
runoff
from
all
portions
of
the
completed
development,
and
shall
clearly
identify
the
funding
sources
for
the
required
ongoing
maintenance.”).
