No
traces
of
this
former
racetrack
currently
exist
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
While
this
former
and
temporary
use
on
the
Baylands
Project
Site
is
a
part
of
the
site’s
past,
this
information
does
not
change
the
conclusions
regarding
impacts
to
historic
resources
in
the
Draft
EIR.
To
recognize
the
former
Champion
Speedway,
the
second
paragraph
on
page
4.I-1
under
the
heading
“Historic
Setting”
has
been
revised
as
shown
in
Final
EIR
Chapter
3.0.
Prior
to
2011
no
guidance
for
screening
of
fill
materials
to
be
used
for
landfill
soil
cover
existed.
See
for
discussion
regarding
the
remediation
review
and
approval
process.
Imported
soil
materials
will
be
required
to
be
sampled
for
specific
constituents
of
chemicals
of
concern
relative
to
the
source
of
the
import.
In
addition,
the
number
of
samples
that
would
be
collected
would
correspond
to
the
volume
of
import
being
accepted.
Sampling
requirements
will
be
established
by
the
RWQCB
as
part
of
Title
27
closure
requirements.
All
materials
that
will
be
used
to
form
a
permanent
landfill
cap
will
be
screened
to
ensure
that
they
meet
the
regulatory
standards
of
Title
27
and
the
RWQCB.
The
spur
track
serving
the
existing
lumberyards
is
proposed
to
be
moved
to
serve
the
lumberyards
in
their
new
location
on
the
west
wide
of
the
rail
line.
Thus,
because
proposed
Project
site
development
would
not
result
in
a
shift
of
lumberyard
deliveries
from
rail
to
trucks,
there
is
no
need
to
address
removal
of
the
rail
spur
serving
the
lumberyards.
The
intent
of
the
project
description
is
to
describe
the
project
that
is
being
analyzed
in
the
EIR.
The
existing
ridership
figures
for
Caltrain
were
obtained
from
Caltrain,
and
while
it
is
the
obligation
of
the
EIR
to
analyze
the
physical
environmental
changes
that
would
result
from
implementation
of
the
project
described
in
Chapter
3
of
the
Draft
EIR,
it
is
not
the
role
of
the
EIR
to
speculate
as
to
why
Caltrain
ridership
at
the
Bayshore
station
may
be
low.
See
Response
The
existing
spur
only
serves
the
lumberyards,
and
no
uses
are
proposed
within
the
Baylands
that
would
expand
rail
use.
The
CPP
and
CPP-V
concept
plans
described
in
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
,
cover
the
entirety
of
the
733-acre
Brisbane
Baylands
Project
site,
including
the
entirety
of
the
Brisbane
Lagoon.
The
existing
Recology
facility
is,
however,
identified
as
not
a
part
of
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios,
which
covers
the
entirety
of
the
684-acre
portion
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
