Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Organizations
that
provide
both
protection
from
the
100-year
flood,
but
also
require
that
such
flood
protection
take
into
account
100
years
of
projected
sea
level
rise
and
correct
known
drainage
deficiencies
that
would
be
exacerbated
by
development
of
lands
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
In
addition,
as
noted
on
page
4.C-53
of
the
Draft
EIR,
implementation
of
Mitigation
Measures
4.C-2a,
4.C-2b,
and
4.C-2c
would
reduce
impacts
on
wetlands
to
a
less-than-significant
level
by
applying
performance
standards
to
Project
Site
development
including
no
net
loss
of
jurisdictional
wetlands.
Because
these
performance
standards
apply
grading
and
development
of
buildings,
as
well
as
infrastructure
development,
site
grading
and
drainage
systems
(which
account
for
100
years
of
sea
level
rise)
would
be
subject
to
the
“no
net
loss
of
wetland”
performance
standard,
and
wetland
mitigation
would
be
provided
recognizing
the
effects
of
sea
level
rise
within
the
Baylands.
To
clarify
this
requirement,
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4b
on
Draft
EIR
page
4.C-56
has
been
revised
to
specifically
address
100
years
of
sea
level
rise
(see
Final
EIR
Chapter
3.0
for
text
of
the
revised
mitigation
measure).
The
Draft
EIR
adequately
describes
baseline
conditions
on
the
site,
and
provides
appropriate
mitigation
for
significant
impacts.
See
9
for
discussion
of
wetlands
identification.
The
open
space
suggestions
made
by
Dangermond
Associates
were
incorporated
into
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
concept
plan
scenarios,
were
thus
addressed
in
the
Draft
EIR,
and
will
be
included
in
open
space
planning
for
development
within
the
Baylands.
Protections
for
species
and
habitat
that
occur
in
the
areas
adjacent
to
the
Lagoon
and
other
wetland
areas
are
incorporated
in
a
number
of
mitigation
measures.
Mitigation
Measures
4.C-1d,
4.C-4d,
4-C-4e,
and
4.C.4-f
would
ensure
that
impacts
to
birds
related
to
interference
with
breeding,
night
migration,
and
collisions
with
buildings
would
be
less
than
significant.
Impact
4.C-4
addresses
impacts
to
wildlife
nursery
sites
and
identifies
Mitigation
Measures
4.C-4a,
b,
and
c
that
would
require
a
Project-
wide
Open
Space
Plan,
a
Marsh
Wildlife
and
Habitat
Protection
Plan,
and
require
domestic
pet
restrictions
for
residential
development.
Predator
control
is
specified
for
feral
animals
in
wildlife
areas
including
trapping
animals
to
prevent
bird
harassment,
injury,
or
death.
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4c.)
The
Marsh
Wildlife
and
Habitat
Protection
Plan
would
also
require
residential
and
commercial
leases
to
prohibit
outdoor
feeding
stations
to
prevent
feral
cat
colonies
from
establishing,
and
to
prevent
attracting
other
predatory
wildlife
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4b).
The
comment
states
that
noise
and
vibration
impacts
to
sensitive
species
are
not
adequately
discussed,
