Draft
EIR
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
,
water
supply
would
come
from
a
water
supply
agreement
from
OID
through
MID
and
the
SFPUC
to
Brisbane,
and
not
through
desalination
plants
or
through
water
wheeling
as
was
described
in
the
Infrastructure
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios.
As
stated
in
the
Draft
EIR
on
page
4.E-38,
all
proposed
improvements
including
utilities
and
piping
would
be
required
to
incorporate
geotechnical
recommendations
from
a
design
level
geotechnical
investigation
in
accordance
with
current
California
Building
Code
requirements
subject
to
review
and
approval
by
the
City
Engineer.
Until
such
time
as
specific
engineering
designs
associated
with
site-specific
projects
are
proposed,
modeling
the
ability
of
such
pipes
to
withstand
projected
settlement
would
be
speculative.
This
comment
addresses
the
infrastructure
plan
set
forth
in
the
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios;
it
does
not
address
the
EIR
or
the
adequacy
of
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
T
he
information
in
the
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan’s
infrastructure
plan
(Appendix
B
of
the
Draft
EIR)
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
is
included
in
the
project
description
analyzed
in
the
Draft
EIR.
As
with
all
utility
systems
that
would
be
required
for
future
development
on
the
Baylands,
the
wastewater
system
would
be
installed
in
phases,
and
will
be
required
to
meet
applicable
standards
of
the
City
of
Brisbane
and
the
applicable
service
agency
(e.g.,
Bayshore
Sanitary
District)
for
each
increment
of
development.
No
construction
permits
would
be
granted
without
review
and
approval
of
engineered
plans.
The
wastewater
system
design
would
not
generally
include
temporary
connections
or
other
equipment,
but
would
replace
existing
components
and
install
new
facilities
as
needed
for
each
development
increment.
However,
some
temporary
connections
may
be
required,
which
would
have
to
undergo
design
approval
and
periodic
operation
monitoring
in
accordance
with
specifications
of
the
City
and
Bayshore
Sanitary
District,
including
specifications
for
layout
and
sizing
of
wastewater
lines,
pump
stations,
and
system
phasing.
For
each
development
increment,
the
City
and
Bayshore
Sanitary
District
would
evaluate
existing
facilities
to
determine
their
condition
and
suitability
for
further
use,
and
if
found
not
to
be
adequate,
would
require
those
facilities
to
be
replaced.
This
comment
references
the
applicant’s
proposed
plan
for
the
DSP
and
DSP
-V
scenarios
to
provide
adequate
infrastructure,
including
adequate
water
storage
capacity
for
the
water
pressure
zones
serving
the
Baylands.
Standard
City
requirements
already
require
City
of
Brisbane
to
conduct
an
engineering
review
of
infrastructure
plans
proposed
by
the
applicant
prior
to
any
approval.
