Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Organizations
with
the
law
and
applicable
regulations
as
mitigation
under
CEQA
and
for
discussion
regarding
the
Title
27
landfill
closure
review
and
approval
process.
The
Draft
EIR
identifies
seismic
hazards
as
a
significant
impact
requiring
mitigation.
The
mitigation
measure
cited
in
this
comment
is
one
of
several
measures
to
be
implemented
to
reduce
seismic
hazards
to
less
than
significant.
Mitigation
Measure
4.E-2b
specifically
addresses
seismic
hazards
related
to
the
former
landfill
and
its
Title
27
closure
1
.
In
addition
to
Mitigation
Measure
4.E-2b,
the
Draft
EIR
requires
compliance
with
California
Building
Code
requirements
addressing
seismicity
and
its
secondary
impacts
(Mitigation
Measures
4.E-2a,
4.E-3,
4.E-4b).
See
Final
EIR
Chapter
4.0,
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
,
for
identification
of
implementation
requirements
for
Mitigation
Measures
4.E-2a,
4.E-2b,
4.E-3,
and
4.E-4b.
See
1
for
discussion
of
the
programmatic
nature
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Draft
EIR.
Consistent
with
CEQA,
because
Mitigation
Measure
4.F-1
specifies
a
specific
performance
standard
(minimum
five
percent
reduction
in
GHG
emissions
as
reflected
in
Table
4.F-3),
and
a
set
of
GHG
reduction
strategies
to
be
considered
and
implemented
to
meet
the
performance
standard,
the
measure
does
not
constitute
deferred
mitigation.
Comment
is
incorrect
in
its
assertion
that
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2b
defers
preparation
of
a
Soil
and
Groundwater
Management
Plan
until
final
grading
plans
have
been
approved.
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2b
clearly
states
that
the
Soil
and
Groundwater
Management
Plan
shall
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
RWQCB
and
DTSC,
and
that
they
be
implemented
by
the
applicant
prior
to
issuance
of
a
building
or
grading
permit.
See
Final
EIR
Chapter
4.0,
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
,
for
identification
of
implementation
requirements
for
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2b.

discussion
of
the
programmatic
nature
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Draft
EIR.
See
1
for
discussion
of
the
programmatic
nature
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Draft
EIR
and
environmental
reviews
for
subsequent
site-specific
development
review.
No
applications
for
demolition
permits
have
been
proposed
to
date
and
therefore,
the
development
of
a
Master
Deconstruction
and
Demolition
Plan
to
mitigate
the
specific
impacts
of
such
permits
would
be
premature.
Consistent
with
CEQA,

Title
27
landfill
closure

of
the
Post-Earthquake
Inspection
and
Corrective
Action
Plan
