Mountain
Watch
See

for
discussion
regarding
the
enforceability
of
EIR
mitigation
measures.
Chapter
4.0
of
the
Final
EIR
contains
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
for
the
Brisbane
Baylands,
detailing
how
each
mitigation
measure
will
be
implemented.
The
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
contained
in
Final
EIR
Chapter
4.0
provides
for
monitoring
implementation
of
mitigation
measures.
See
1
for
a
discussion
of
the
programmatic
nature
of
this
EIR,
and
requirements
for
future
environmental
review
of
site-specific
development
projects.
Under
CEQA,
when
determining
whether
a
project’s
impacts
are
significant,
an
EIR
compares
those
impacts
with
existing
environmental
conditions,
referred
to
as
the
“baseline”
for
the
impact
analysis.
Page
4.B-6
of
the
Draft
EIR
presents
the
existing
setting
with
regard
to
the
air
quality
conditions,
consistent
with
Section
15125
of
the
State
CEQA
Guidelines.
Project
impacts
are
analyzed
in
the
Draft
EIR
per
CEQA
guidelines
as
the
physical
environmental
changes
(e.g.,
increased
emission
of
criteria
air
pollutants)
that
would
result
from
approval
of
proposed
Baylands
development.
There
were
12
Spare
the
Air
Days
in
December
2013.
There
was
total
of
30
Spare
the
Air
Days
during
the
Spare
the
Air
Season
from
November
2013
through
February
2014.
This
is
the
most
since
the
2006-2007
season
when
there
were
also
30
Spare
the
Air
Days
1
.
The
single
year
increase
is
not
necessarily
indicative
of
an
upward
trend.
This
level
of
Spare
the
Air
alerts
is
thus
not
unprecedented.
The
HRA
analysis
of
the
Draft
EIR
used
meteorological
data
that
included
the
2006-2007
season.
Potential
impacts
related
to
exposure
to
contaminated
soil
is
addressed
in
Section
4.G,
Hazards
and
Hazardous
Materials
,
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Impact
4.G-2
on
page
4.G-90
of
the
Draft
EIR
assesses
whether
Project
Site
development
would
create
a
significant
hazard
to
the
public
or
the
environment
through
reasonably
foreseeable
upset
or
accident
conditions
involving
the
release
of
hazardous
materials
into
the
environment.
Remediation
of
the
known
contaminated
areas
including
the
former
Brisbane
Landfill,
and
needs
to
be
completed
prior
to
commencement
of
construction
for
future
development
under
any
of
the
four
scenarios.
The
remediation
technologies
would
be
designed
to
both
(1)
effectively
remediate
contaminated
soils
and
groundwater
and
(2)
protect
the
environment
and
health
of
workers
during
remediation
(e.g.,
given
the
age
of
existing
onsite
buildings,
