for
discussion
regarding
the
level
of
detail
undertaken
in
the
biological
resources
analysis.
Mitigation
Measure
4.D-1a
requires
preparation
of
a
stabilization
plan
for
the
Roundhouse
building
to
be
prepared
and
approved
by
the
City
prior
to
approval
of
the
first
grading
or
building
permit
within
the
Baylands,
to
be
implemented
immediately
upon
approval
of
that
first
grading
or
building
permit.
In
addition,
rehabilitation
of
the
Roundhouse
building
is
required
by
Mitigation
Measure
4.D-1a
to
be
completed
prior
to
issuance
of
an
occupancy
permit
for
the
Roundhouse
building.
See
Chapter
4.0,
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
,
for
additional
detail
regarding
implementation
of
Mitigation
Measure
4.D-1a.
As
discussed
in
the
Draft
EIR,
the
entirety
of
the
Baylands
consists
of
fill
materials
that
were
placed
during
the
historic
period.
Prior
to
the
filling
of
the
Baylands
conducted
for
the
railroad
and
later
as
a
means
of
disposing
of
rubble
following
the
1906
earthquake,
the
area
now
known
as
the
Brisbane
Baylands
was
within
San
Francisco
Bay.
Thus,
there
is
no
potential
for
locating
Native
American
artifacts
or
culturally
significant
areas
within
the
Project
site.
As
discussed
in
Section
4.E,
Geology,
Soils,
and
Seismicity
,
development
of
any
structures
within
the
former
landfill
area
will
be
required
to
meet
applicable
California
Building
Code
requirements
to
ensure
a
stable
foundation.
Please
refer
5
for
a
discussion
of
compliance
with
regulatory
standards
as
mitigation
under
CEQA.
In
addition,
the
provisions
of
the
required
Landfill
Closure
Plan
to
be
prepared
under
the
regulatory
authority
of
the
RWQCB
will
include
specifications
for
capping
of
the
former
landfill.
Greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
vehicular
trips
were
analyzed
based
on
applicable
greenhouse
gas
emissions
models.
The
applicability
of
the
SF
CHAMP
traffic
model
used
to
analyze
vehicular
travel
demand
is
described
in
Section
4.N,
Traffic
and
Circulation
,
of
the
Draft
EIR.
See
1
for
discussion
of
the
programmatic
nature
of
the
Draft
EIR
and
its
analyses,
as
well
as
discussion
of
the
applicability
of
the
Draft
EIR
to,
and
requirements
for,
subsequent
environmental
review
for
site-specific
development
projects,
including
site
remediation
and
landfill
closure.
Formal
closure
of
the
landfill
will
be
accomplished
under
the
regulatory
authority
of
the
RWQCB,
which
will
specify
the
specific
methodologies
to
be
employed
in
landfill
closure.
