As
stated
on
Draft
EIR
page
4.B-9,
the
Bay
Area
Air
Quality
Management
District
was
contacted
to
review
the
odor
complaint
history
of
Recology,
SF
Recycling
and
Disposal,
and
Brisbane
Recycling.
According
to
BAAQMD
records,
these
facilities
had
received
no
odor
complaints
within
the
three
years
prior
to
the
records
review
2
.
It
should
also
be
noted
that
the
two
references
in
Comment
cited
as
demonstration
of
limited
ability
to
monitor
odor
from
Recology
facilities
refer
to
facilities
in
Oregon,
including
a
food
composting
demonstration
project,
and
not
to
the
Recology
facility
within
the
Baylands.
The
“dirt
mounds”
referred
to
in
this
comment
are
existing
recycling
operations,
both
of
which
would
be
replaced
by
the
proposed
Baylands
development
program.
The
land
use
recommendations
set
forth
in
this
comment
will
be
considered
by
the
City
as
part
of
its
planning
review
and
decisionmaking
for
the
Baylands.
Regulatory
responsibility
for
monitoring
and
enforcement
of
air
emissions
rests
with
the
Bay
Area
Air
Quality
Management
District,
and
not
the
City
of
Brisbane.
The
comment
is
misleading
in
that
it
refers
to
“air
quality
ordinance”
violations
when
discussing
interim
recycling
operations
on
the
former
landfill
within
the
Baylands.
See
Response
for
discussion
of
the
odor
complaint
history
at
Tunnel
Avenue
site.
As
stated
in
Chapters
1
and
3
of
the
Draft
EIR,
Recology’s
existing
Tunnel
Avenue
site
spans
the
boundary
between
San
Francisco
and
Brisbane,
with
portions
in
both
communities.
The
proposed
modernization
and
expansion
of
the
Recology
facility
would
result
in
the
addition
of
751,000
square
feet
of
building
area,
along
with
expansion
of
the
site
from
44.2
acres
to
65.5
acres
in
the
CPP-V
scenario
only.
The
DSP,
DSP-V,
and
CPP
scenarios
do
not
propose
expansion
of
the
Recology
facility.
Section
3.5.5
of
the
Draft
EIR,
starting
on
page
provides
a
description
of
the
proposed
Recology
modernization
and
expansion
in
the
CPP-V
scenario.
Biomass
processing
(composting)
is
not
part
of
the
project
description
of
the
proposed
Recology
expansion.
The
City
of
Brisbane
has
zoning
authority
over
the
Brisbane
portion
of
the
site,
while
San
Francisco
has
zoning
authority
over
the
portions
of
the
Recology
facility
that
are
outside
of
Brisbane.
