wastewater
collection
system
and
sent
to
the
SFPUC
system
for
treatment
and
discharge.
Furthermore,
a
Wastewater
System
Master
Plan
would
be
prepared
in
coordination
with
the
City,
SFPUC,
and
BSD,
and
include
details
on
the
system
infrastructure
and
operation.
The
existing
lumberyards
receive
materials
via
the
rail
line
that
bisects
the
Baylands
Project
Site
in
a
north-south
direction.
Because
the
lumberyards
will
be
relocated
along
the
rail
line,
but
the
existing
use
will
not
be
expanded,
energy
used
to
deliver
materials
to
the
yards
will
not
increase,
and
there
is
therefore
no
energy-related
impact
that
will
result
from
Project
Site
development
due
to
rail
deliveries
to
the
lumberyards.
Retail
sellers
of
electricity,
including
PG&E,
are
required
to
serve
33
percent
of
their
electrical
load
from
renewable
energy
sources
by
2020.
Because
(1)
Baylands
Project
Site
development
will
not
change
the
type
of
energy
acquired
by
PG&E,
(2)
the
energy
that
will
be
delivered
to
the
Baylands
will
not
be
from
any
single
source
(specific
percentage
of
renewable
energy
to
the
Baylands
cannot
be
determined),
and
(3)
losses
from
transmission
of
electricity
from
their
generation
sources
are
not
an
impact
of
Project
Site
development,
discussion
of
such
energy
losses
are
not
required
in
the
Draft
EIR.
“Community
Choice
Aggregation”
(CCA)
is
a
system
adopted
into
law
in
California
and
other
states
that
allows
cities
and
counties
to
aggregate
the
buying
power
of
individual
customers
within
a
defined
jurisdiction
in
order
to
secure
alternative
energy
supply
contracts
on
a
community-wide
basis,
while
also
allowing
consumers
not
wishing
to
participate
to
opt-out.
Also
known
as
“Municipal
Aggregation”
and
“Community
Aggregation,”
Community
Choice
Aggregations
are
de
facto
public
utilities
of
a
new
form
that
aggregate
areawide
energy
demand
and
negotiate
with
competitive
energy
suppliers,
rather
than
using
the
traditional
utility
business
model
based
on
purchase
and
delivery
of
energy
supplies
to
retail
customers
by
a
regulated
utility.
California’s
AB
117,
which
was
adopted
in
2002,
focuses
on
provision
of
renewable
energy,
rather
than
on
merely
providing
energy
cost
discounts.
San
Francisco
adopted
a
CCA
Ordinance
in
2004,
creating
a
CCA
program
to
build
360
megawatts
of
solar
and
wind
energy.
A
number
of
California
local
government
agencies
have
considered
or
are
considering
CCAs
to
increase
the
percentage
of
renewable
energy
delivered
to
customers
above
the
State’s
33
percent
goal.
Marin
County,
for
example,
offers
both
a
50%
renewable
energy
option
and
a
100%
renewable
energy
option
to
customers.
