Substantial
testing
of
soils
and
groundwater
within
the
Baylands
east
of
Bayshore
has
been
undertaken
subsequent
to
remediation
of
the
Quicksilver
Products
facility
in
December
1998
and
remediation
of
the
VWR
International
facility
in
1987.
Thus,
any
contamination
east
of
Bayshore
that
may
have
been
caused
by
the
Quicksilver
Products
would
be
included
in
the
characterization
of
contamination
within
the
Baylands.
As
noted
on
page
4.G-60,
VWR
International
is
in
the
process
of
terminating
operations
on
a
permanent
basis.
Because
(1)
such
closure
is
an
existing
condition
and
not
a
result
of
proposed
Baylands
development,
and
(2)
the
environmental
effects
of
facility
closure
will
be
required
to
meet
applicable
regulatory
requirements,
closure
of
that
facility
is
not
an
impact
of
proposed
Project
site
development
subject
to
mitigation
in
the
Baylands
EIR.
Additional
information
on
the
Kinder
Morgan
facility
is
provided
on
page
4.G-64,
as
well
as

The
former
Sierra
Point
landfill,
which
is
located
more
than
one
mile
from
the
Project
Site
boundary,
has
been
partially
redeveloped
for
commercial
use
and
a
marina,
and
is
under
post-closure
oversight
of
the
Department
of
Environmental
Health
Division
of
the
San
Mateo
County
Health
System.
Since
there
is
no
evidence
that
methane
production
from
the
former
Sierra
Point
landfill
is
negatively
affecting
development
within
Sierra
Point,
let
alone
affecting
the
Brisbane
Baylands
more
than
one
mile
to
the
north,
providing
the
supporting
methane
gas
tests
undertaken
for
the
former
Sierra
Point
landfill
is
unnecessary
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
EIR.
While
the
San
Mateo
County
Health
System
oversees
LUSTs,
the
reference
on
page
4.G-61
is
to
open
violations
being
handled
by
the
RWQCB
under
the
Spills,
Leaks
Investigation
and
Cleanup
(SLIC)
Program.
Table
4.G-8
lists
11
LUST
and
2
SLIC
sites
under
the
regulatory
oversight
of
the
RWQCB
that
have
not
been
closed.
The
California
EPA
does
not
identify
any
“superfund”
sites
within
Brisbane,
Daly
City,
or
South
San
Francisco.
The
Hunters
Po
int
Naval
Shipyard
is
listed
as
a
federal
“superfund”
site.
The
south
Levinson
facility,
located
at
Main
Street
and
Bayshore
Boulevard,
is
listed
on
the
California
Environmental
Protection
Agency
DTSC
EnviroStor
database
as
“No
Further
Action.”
The
PG&E
Martin
Service
Center,
731
Schwerin
Street,
is
listed
on
the
EnviroStor
and
GeoTracker
databases.
The
listing
on
the
EnviroStor
database
is
“Certified,
Operations
&
Maintenance.”
Midway
Village,
47
Midway
Drive,
is
listed
on
the
EnviroStor
database
as
No
Action
Required
and
as
Certified,
Operations
&
Maintenance.
Due
to
the
location
of
these
sites,
west
of
Bayshore
Boulevard,
the
status
of
ongoing
regulatory
agency
oversight,
and
the
status
of
the
site
investigation
and
remedial
actions,
