Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Organizations
for
the
Baylands,
and
will
also
determine
the
appropriate
activities
and
technologies
to
achieve
such
goals.
See
for
discussion
of
the
remediation
review
process.
Pursuant
to
their
regulatory
authority,
the
RWQCB
and
DTSC
will
oversee
remediation
of
the
Baylands
and
Title
27
closure
of
the
former
landfill
in
a
manner
that
is
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
See

for
discussion
of
compliance
with
the
law
as
mitigation
under
CEQA.
While
Brisbane
was
incorporated
as
a
city
on
November
27,
1961,
the
book,
A
Spirit
of
Independence
(1986),
indicates
that
the
town
of
“Visitacion”
was
renamed
“Brisbane”
in
the
1920s.
The
second
complete
paragraph
on
Draft
EIR
page
4.G-21
is
revised
to
read
as
follows:
The
eastern
half
of
the
Project
Site
north
of
the
lagoon
was
contaminated
from
1932
to
1967,
when
this
area
was
operated
as
the
Brisbane
Landfill
a
landfill.
Following
cessation
of
landfill
operations,
the
landfill
was
buried
with
a
soil
cover
approximately
20
–
30
feet
deep
to
prevent
future
human
contact
with
contamination.
Some
methane
gas
is
still
being
generated
by
decomposing
solid
waste
within
the
landfill.
Currently,
methane
gas
emissions
are
collected
through
wells
and
piping,
and
burned
periodically
in
a
flare.
The
San
Mateo
County
Health
Services
Agency
oversees
the
landfill
site,
along
with
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Regional
Water
Quality
Control
Board
(RWQCB).
Groundwater/leachate
and
stormwater
quality
is
being
regularly
monitored
by
consultants
for
the
landowner
as
described
above
at
well
and
outfall
locations
and
reported
to
the
Regional
Water
Quality
Control
Board.
As
part
of
its
requirements
for
Title
27
landfill
closure,
the
RWQCB
will
review
the
adequacy
of
the
existing
landfill
gas
control
system
to
collect
and
combust
methane
and
other
landfill
gases
pursuant
to
Title
27
standards.
Based
on
that
determination,
the
RWQCB
will
set
specific
requirements
for
any
needed
upgrades,
expansions,
or
replacement
of
the
existing
landfill
gas
control
system.
The
statement
referenced
in
the
Draft
EIR
identifies
the
purpose
of
the
existing
cover
as
being
temporary
and
not
the
final
landfill
cover.
The
final
cover
must
include
a
foundation
layer,
low
hydraulic
conductivity
layer
and
erosion
resistant
layer,
pursuant
to
Title
27
CCR
21090(a)(1)
and
CCR
21090(a)(2)
(Draft
EIR,
Appendix
B).
