Furthermore,
the
proposed
Water
Saving
Program
includes
the
use
of
native
plant
landscaping,
which
includes
native
turf
grasses,
that
requires
low
to
no
irrigation.

As
stated
on
page
4.O-35,
Table
4.O-10
includes
the
total
supply
with
the
proposed
OID
water
transfer
and
SFPUC
water
supplies.

The
proposed
OID-Brisbane
water
transfer
would
not
alter
or
adversely
affect
the
SFPUC’s
current
work
with
the
USFWS
to
establish
updated
flow
management
standards
or
implementation
of
new
standards.
The
transfer
would
introduce
2
mgd
of
new
supply
into
the
Tuolumne
system
by
OID
transferring
2
mgd
of
its
supply
to
MID
for
use,
and
allowing
MID
to
forgo
use
of
2
mgd
of
its
Tuolumne
River
supply.
Thus,
there
would
be
no
net
increase
in
diversion
from
the
Tuolumne
River.
To
implement
the
proposed
water
supply
agreement,
Brisbane,
MID
and
the
SFPUC
will
develop
a
detailed
transfer
operation
plan
based
on
the
water
supply
demands
of
land
uses
approved
by
the
City
of
Brisbane
that
will
be
evaluated
in
a
subsequent
project-level
CEQA
document.

As
stated
on
page
4.O-49,
Section
4.E
addresses
the
geologic,
soil,
and
seismic
conditions
on
the
Baylands
Project
Site
and
the
effects
of
project
grading,
design,
and
engineering
to
address
potential
impacts
from
unstable
conditions
on
the
Baylands
Project
Site,
including
buildings
and
structures
such
as
the
recycled
water
plant.
The
mitigation
requirements
set
forth
in
the
Draft
EIR
apply
to
construction
of
the
recycled
water
plant
in
the
same
manner
as
they
apply
to
all
other
buildings
within
the
Baylands.
For
example,
the
onsite
recycled
water
plant
will
be
required
to
meet
applicable
geologic
and
seismic
standards
of
the
California
Building
Code,
as
well
as
mitigation
measures
for
grading
and
construction
of
buildings
set
forth
in
Section
4.E,
Geology,
Soils,
and
Seismicity
.

Given
that
60+
years
of
landfill
capacity
is
remaining
and
that
solid
waste
management
agencies
maintain
a
20-year
lead
time
for
facilities
planning
and
development,
use
of
an
additional
0.014
to
0.022
percent
of
remaining
landfill
capacity
will
not
have
a
substantial
effect
on
long
term
landfill
capacity,
and
the
Draft
EIR
therefore
correctly
concluded
that
a
less
than
significant
impact
would
result.
