As stated on page 3-37 of the Draft EIR, implementation of the proposed water transfer/supply agreement would require approvals of final Water Supply and Conveyance Agreements between Brisbane, OID, MID, and the SFPUC for individual portions of the proposed water transfer. In addition, since it is recognized that the 2.0-mgd water demand for the Baylands is based on the maximum intensity of development proposed for the Baylands (DSP and DSP-V scenarios, depending on the development scenario ultimately selected by the City Council for the Baylands), water demand for Baylands development could be less than was analyzed in the Draft EIR. In addition, it is recognized that actual water deliveries to Brisbane would vary on a daily basis. Thus, additional, more detailed evaluation of delivery methods would be required prior to implementation of the proposed water transfer/supply agreement.
As discussed in Master Response 1, project-level environmental analysis and CEQA documentation would be undertaken for site-specific development projects, as well as for the proposed water transfer/supply agreement. Thus, while the Brisbane Baylands Draft EIR provides a programmatic evaluation of the proposed water transfer, the City of Brisbane, OID, MID, and SFPUC would use the subsequent project-level analysis of the proposed water transfer/supply agreement to provide CEQA evaluation and clearance for approvals of final Water Supply and Conveyance Agreements involving Brisbane, OID, MID, and SFPUC for individual portions of the proposed water transfer.
