The
alternatives
set
forth
in
Chapter
5
of
the
Draft
EIR
demonstrate
that
reducing
the
intensity
of
proposed
site
development
and
increasing
the
area
of
open
space
would
reduce
or
avoid
significant
environmental
effects
of
Baylands
development.

Because
capping
of
the
proposed
landfill
will
be
required,
and
the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission
will
not
permit
at-grade
crossings
of
the
Caltrain
tracks,
grading
of
the
Baylands
Project
Site
has
been
proposed
that
would
raise
ground
levels
within
the
Baylands.
Runoff
and
erosion
issues
are
addressed
in
Draft
EIR
Section
4.H,
Surface
Water
Hydrology
and
Water
Quality
.
Site
hydrology
and
drainage
systems
will
be
required
to
be
designed
to
meet
the
performance
standards
set
forth
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.H-4a,
recognizing
proposed
site
elevations,
including
drainage
of
the
area
within
and
adjacent
to
the
Caltrain
right-of-way.
