seismic

current
California
Building
Code
requirements
including
Chapter
16,
Section
1613.”).
As
stated
in
the
Draft
EIR
on
page
4.G-80,
prior
to
development
on
the
former
landfill,
the
existing
leachate
seeps
in
the
Central
Drainage
Channel
and
Brisbane
Lagoon
(including
the
northern
edge),
would
be
addressed
by
installing
a
layered
lining
system
that
includes
a
barrier
membrane
to
ensure
that
both
are
fully
isolated
from
any
leachate
migration.
The
specific
design
and
regulatory
requirements
for
the
lining
system
will
be
established
when
a
specific
landfill
closure
plan
is
reviewed
by
the
Regional
Water
Quality
Control
Board
and
the
San
Mateo
County
Health
System
(as
described
in
Draft
EIR
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2a:
“Prior
to
approval
of
a
specific
plan
for
any
parcel
within
the
Project
Site,
the
project
applicant
shall
provide
confirmation
to
the
City
that
the
Department
of
Toxic
Substances
Control
(DTSC),
Regional
Water
Quality
Control
Board
(RWQCB),
and/or
the
San
Mateo
County
Environmental
Health
Division
as
the
Local
Enforcement
Agency,
as
applicable,
have
reviewed
and
are
prepared
to
approve
a
Remedial
Action
Plan
or
final
closure
and
post-closure
maintenance
plans
upon
certification
of
appropriate
environmental
documentation
for
that
action.”).
The
comment
is
correct
that
the
former
Champion
Speedway,
a
1/8
mile
oval
racetrack,
once
existed
on
the
Baylands
Project
Site
south
of
Beatty
Avenue
from
approximately
1963
to
1979.
15
The
speedway
held
a
number
of
events
during
this
period,
including
automobile
races
and
demolition
derbies.
After
closure,
the
speedway
was
demolished
and
covered
by
fill.
No
traces
of
this
former
racetrack
currently
exist
within
the
Baylands
Project
site.
While
this
former
and
temporary
use
is
a
part
of
the
Baylands
Project
site’s
history,
this
information
does
not
change
the
conclusions
regarding
impacts
to
historic
resources
in
the
Draft
EIR.
Waste
characterization
studies
undertaken
subsequent
to
the
closure
of
the
speedway
in
1979
would
address
any
remnant
contamination
from
that
use.
To
recognize
this
former
use,
the
second
paragraph
on
page
4.I-1
under
the
heading
“Historic
Setting”
is
revised
to
read
as
follows.
Historic
uses
of
the
Project
Site
include
the
former
Brisbane
Landfill
and
the
former
Southern
Pacific
Bayshore
Railyard.
The
former
landfill
area
is
located
on
the
east
side
of
the
Caltrain
tracks
which
bisect
the
Project
Site.
This
area
was
operated
as
a
landfill
from
1932
to
1967;
after
its
closure,
the
landfill
was
buried
with
20
to
30
feet
of
soil
cover.
Several
buildings
have
been
constructed
on
the
former
landfill,
including
portions
of
the
Recology
facility,
Sierra
Point
Lumber
and
Van
Arsdale
