The
following

have
been
made
to
Draft
EIR
pages
4.P-11
and
4.P-12:
Two
subsurface
natural
gas
pipeline
pressure
regulation
pits
would
be
constructed
on
the
Project
Site
near
the
tap
and
would
require
an
approximately
20-foot-long-by-45-foot-wide
area
for
installation
and
access
easements
(see
“Proposed
Natural
Gas
System”
on
page
91
of
Appendix
B,
Draft
Brisbane
Baylands
Infrastructure
Plan
).
As
described
in
Appendix
B
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
20’
long
by
45’
wide
area
referred
to
in
this
comment
describes
the
surface
area
needed
to
ensure
adequate
access
to
install
the
new
natural
gas
pipeline,
including
regulation
pits,
and
link
it
to
the
24”
pipeline
under
Bayshore
Boulevard.
The
regulation
pits
themselves
are
not
20’
long
by
45’
wide.
