Since
proposed
development
within
the
Baylands
will
significantly
change
the
current
activity
of
aboveground
use
of
the
landfill,
the
site
will
be
required
to
comply
with
Title
27
CCR
21190.
In
accordance
with
Title
27
requirements,
the
closure
of
the
landfill
and
such
future
development
as
may
be
approved
by
the
City
will
need
to
be
submitted
to
the
California
Integrated
Waste
Management
Board
(CIWMB),
local
enforcement
agency
(San
Mateo
County
Health
System),
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Regional
Water
Quality
Control
Board,
and
the
Bay
Area
Air
Quality
Management
District
for
review
and
approval
prior
to
any
physical
development
of
the
project
(Draft
EIR
Appendix
B).
This
comment
is
directed
at
the
section
of
the
Draft
EIR
that
contains
brief
descriptions
of
the
primary
types
of
contaminants
found
within
the
Project
site.
That
section
is
not
intended
to
characterize
specific
contaminants
found
within
the
Project
site,
their
locations,
or
concentrations.
The
summarization
of
previous
hazardous
materials
reports
in
the
Draft
EIR
that
was
taken
from
a
2012
report
by
Geosyntec
provides
descriptions
of
the
findings
of
numerous
studies
of
hazardous
materials
undertaken
since
the
1980s
by
various
consulting
companies
in
different
portions
of
the
Baylands
for
different
purposes.
Pieced
together,
these
studies
paint
a
picture
of
soils
and
groundwater
contamination
within
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Project
site.
See
for
discussion
regarding
the
adequacy
of
these
studies
for
use
in
the
Draft
EIR
and
for
discussion
regarding
the
remediation
review
process
for
the
Baylands.
The
fifth
paragraph
on
page
4.G-22
is
revised
to
read
as
follows.
Bunker
C
fuel
is
technically
any
type
of
fuel
oil
used
aboard
ships
or
trains,
getting
its
name
from
the
containers
on
ships
and
in
ports
that
it
is
stored
in.
Bunker
C
fuel
oil
is
a
high-viscosity
residual
oil
that
requires
pre-heati
ng
before
the
oil
can
be
pumped
from
a
bunker
tank.
“Residual”
refers
to
the
material
remaining
after
the
more
valuable
cuts
of
crude
oil
have
boiled
off.
The
residue
used
for
Bunker
C
fuel
may
contain
various
undesirable
impurities
including
2
percent
water
and
one-half
percent
mineral
soil
that
are
undesirable
in
an
oil
product.
Wastes
present
in
the
landfill
have
been
characterized
as
having
origins
from
domestic,
commercial,
industrial,
shipyard,
and
construction
uses,
as
well
as
including
sewage.
Of
the
total
amount
of
waste
placed
in
the
former
landfill,
an
estimated
73
percent
came
from
residential
and
commercial
activities.
As
stated
in
paragraph
5
on
page
4.G-23,
other
sources
of
solid
waste
included
residential;
commercial;
industrial
activities
including
shipyard
waste;
and
construction
rubble,
tires,
and
sewage.
