Page 3-68        Master Response 28 – REVISE the first full paragraph as follows:

 

Brisbane has negotiated a term sheet with OID for the proposed water transfer. Brisbane is responsible for establishing a transfer agreement with MID and a wheeling agreement with the SFPUC to provide for the conveyance of the OID water transfer to Brisbane. Implementation of the proposed water transfer/supply agreement will require approvals of final Water Supply and Conveyance Agreements between Brisbane and OID, between OID and MID, and between Brisbane and the SFPUC for individual portions of the proposed water transfer. These Water Supply and Conveyance Agreements will contain provisions stating that the delivery of water from OID through MID and the SFPUC to Brisbane will not be permitted to impair the ability of MID or the SFPUC to deliver water to their existing customers.

 

Pages 3-77, 78 Master Response 1 - REVISE the text starting with the last paragraph on page 3-77 and continuing on page 3-78 as follows:

 

Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines defines a program EIR as an EIR that may be prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project and are related either (1) geographically; (2) as logical parts in the chain of contemplated actions; (3) in connection with issuance of rules, regulations, plans, or other general criteria to govern the conduct of a continuing program; or (4) as individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory authority and having generally similar environmental effects that can be mitigated in similar ways. Insofar as the components of the Project Site development, as approved, would include a plan and policy framework that would govern future development within a discrete geographic area within Brisbane (and an   adjacent    portion  of  San  Francisco  and  other  offsite  infrastructure locations),       such a program-level approach is considered appropriate. Future site-specific development projects that would fall within the purview of this program-level analysis would undergo further environmental analysis be evaluated in light of the program EIR to determine whether their implementation would require preparation of an additional subsequent or supplemental environmental analysis documentation under CEQA. Additional CEQA compliance documentation for site-specific development projects or implementing activities components proposed under the selected Concept Plan scenario would be required where the site-specific impacts of the development proposal(s) or implementing activity were not addressed at a sufficient level of detail in this program EIR, or in the event subsequent changes are proposed to the Project Description selected scenario that were not analyzed in this EIR. This includes those proposed actions over which other agencies have approval authority, such as the proposed remedial actions overseen by the RWQCB, the San Mateo
