and

demand
than
is
possible
at
the
present
time.
The
SFPUC
would
rely
on
such
project-level
CEQA
evaluation,
rather
than
the
current
program
EIR,
as
part
of
its
approval
process
for
consideration
of
the
agreements
into
which
it
must
enter
to
implement
its
role
in
the
proposed
OID
water
transfer
to
Brisbane.

The
Draft
EIR
provides
program-
level
evaluation
of
proposed
development
and
the
proposed
OID
water
transfer.
See

for
discussion
of
the
programmatic
nature
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Draft
EIR.

Response

discussion
of

review
that
will

This
comment
is
prefaced
by
the
phrase,
“If
the
analysis
in
this
Draft
EIR
is
intended
to
provide
a
project
level
analysis
to
allow
agencies
to
rely
on
it
to
perform
actions
of
entering
into
water

agreements
the
following
items
should
be
addressed:”
The

The
proposed
project
analyzed
in
the
Baylands
EIR
consists
of
four
development
scenarios
analyzed
at
an
equal
level
of
detail,
a
General
Plan
Amendment,
and
a
Specific
Plan
proposed
for
two
of
the
four
proposed
scenarios
(DSP,
DSP-V).
No
site-specific
development
is
proposed
at
this
time.
As
discussed
in
Master
Response
1,
subsequent
site-
specific
development,
including
operational
details
of
the
proposed
water
supply
transfers
will
be
subject
to
project-level
environmental
analysis
and
subsequent
CEQA
documentation.
See
for
discussion
of
subsequent
project-level
CEQA
review
that
will
be
conducted
for
the
proposed
OID
water
transfer.

As
noted
in
Comment
the
SFPUC
is
actively
developing
a
mitigation
measure
identified
in
its

(San
