most
recent
groundwater
monitoring
data
for
the
same
potential
exposure
pathways
evaluated
in
2007
(Arcadis,
2014).
Concentrations
of
contaminants
were
again
found
to
be
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment
(Arcadis,
2014).
Based
on
RWQCB
Order
No.
R2-2008-0019,
an
updated
health
risk
assessment
for
the
Kinder
Morgan
facility
may
be
required
in
response
to
proposed
Baylands
development,
depending
on
the
uses
that
are
ultimately
approved.
Industrial
and
open
space
land
uses
would
immediately
surround
the
Tank
Farm
in
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios,
while
the
Tank
Farm
would
be
surrounded
by
open
space
in
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios,
which
also
include
a
charter
high
school
to
the
southwest
of
the
Tank
Farm,
west
of
the
Caltrain
tracks.
With
the
exception
of
the
charter
high
school,
which
would
be
close
to
but
not
immediately
adjacent
to
the
Tank
Farm,
potential
exposure
pathways
present
in
the
types
of
land
uses
proposed
around
the
Tank
Farm
would
not
substantially
differ
from
those
evaluated
in
the
2014
updated
health
risk
assessment
for
the
Tank
Farm.
Existing
regulatory
mechanisms
(RWQCB,
BAAQMD
regulatory
authority)
are
in
place
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment
as
property
surrounding
the
Tank
Farm
is
developed
or
considered
for
a
specific
use.
As
discussed
in
Section
4.G,
Hazards
and
Hazardous
Materials
,
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
storage
and
transport
of
hazardous
materials,
such
as
gasoline,
diesel,
and
aviation
fuels,
are
subject
to
local,
state,
and
federal
regulations.
Compliance
with
these
regulations
would
provide
adequate
safety
for
adjacent
uses
within
the
Baylands.
In
addition,
uses
within
the
Baylands
would
be
set
back
from
petroleum
pipelines
and
aboveground
storage
tanks
in
accordance
with
the
development
requirements
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
and
similar
setbacks
for
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios
that
would
be
established
as
part
of
Baylands
planning
review
and
subsequent
site-specific
development
review.
As
a
result,
land
use
compatibility
between
the
Tank
Farm
and
proposed
Baylands
development
would
be
achieved
in
relation
to
hazards
associated
with
fuel
storage
and
transport
associated
with
the
Tank
Farm.
Surface
Water
and
Hydrology
As
discussed
in
Draft
EIR
Section
4.H,
Surface
Water
Hydrology
and
Water
Quality
,
drainage
facilities
for
the
Baylands
would
be
designed
to
provide
protection
of
proposed
uses
from
the
100-year
flood,
recognizing
the
effects
of
projected
sea
level
rise.
Because
the
Tank
Farm
is
an
existing
facility,
the
amount
of
runoff
from
that
facility
was
factored
into
flooding
analyses
as
part
of
existing
conditions.
As
discussed
in
Section
4.H,
proposed
Baylands
development
would
not
increase
offsite
stormwater
flows
such
that
flooding
of
downstream
properties
would
occur.
Thus,
no
land
use
incompatibilities
between
the
Tank
Farm
and
proposed
Baylands
development
would
occur
in
relation
to
flooding.
As
previously
noted,
the
Tank
Farm
is
subject
to
a
remediation
order
issued
by
the
RWQCB.
Compliance
with
this
order,
as
well
as
with
applicable
requirements
to
contain
potential
leaks
from
aboveground
storage
tanks,
specifically
addresses
remediation
of
groundwater
and
soils
contamination
at
the
Tank
Farm,
requiring
the
Tank
Farm
to
be
remediated
according
to
site
cleanup
requirements
defined
in
the
order.
The
RAP
submitted
to
the
RWQCB
in
2007
was
intended
to
reduce
concentrations
of
petroleum
hydrocarbons
and
fuel
oxygenates
to
levels
below
