COMMUNITY FORUM ADJOURNMENT REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGDECEMBER 8, 2010 AGENDAPAGE 3 ATTACHMENT A CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS RELATED TO THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION’S CRYSTAL SPRINGS PIPELINE NO. 2 REPLACEMENT PROJECT City The City of South San Francisco (""), acting as a responsible agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21000 et seq., CEQA hereinafter “”), hereby adopts the following findings of fact and law under CEQA, and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Admin. Code Title 14, Section 15000 et seq., CEQA Guidelines (hereinafter “”), in conjunction with its approval of the Memorandum MOA of Agreement ("") between the City and the City and County of San Francisco CCSFSFPUC (""), acting through its Public Utilities Commission (""): A. CCSF, acting as lead agency under CEQA, certified a Final Environmental FEIR Impact Report (hereinafter “”) for the Crystal Springs Pipeline No. 2 Replacement CSPL2 Project Project ("") on September 30, 2010. The State Clearinghouse Number for the FEIR is 2008112050. B. The CSPL2 Project is part of the regional Water System Improvement Program ("WSIP") developed by the SFPUC and funded through a voter-approved bond measure in 2002, to repair, replace, and seismically upgrade the system's aging water conveyance infrastructure. As determined by the SFPUC in the FEIR, environmental review for Project has proceeded independently of the overall WSIP because: (1) the purpose of the CSPL2 Project is to reduce the risk of pipeline failure in a major seismic event, and the CSPL2 Project will serve this function and is necessary regardless of whether any other WSIP project is constructed; (2) the construction of the CSPL2 Project will not increase the normal operating capacity of system, change the manner in which water is dispersed, increase the storage capacity of the system or increase or alter the nature of any treatment capacity of the system; and (3) any potential cumulative impacts associated with this CSPL2 Project are addressed in the FEIR. C. On October 15, 2010, the SFPUC approved the Modified Bridge Design Project Alternative ("") to the CSPL2 Project by SFPUC Resolution No. 10-0174 and, in CEQA Findings so doing, adopted findings under CEQA (""). The CEQA Findings include extensive findings based on the FEIR regarding the Project's potential environmental impacts, the sufficiency of mitigation measures, responsibility for implementation of mitigation measures including a Mitigation, Monitoring, and MMRP Reporting Program (""), adoption of the environmentally superior project alternative and rejection of remaining Project alternatives, and a statement of overriding circumstances regarding significant and unavoidable land use, traffic, and noise impacts. D. CEQA obligates a responsible agency to independently consider the environmental effects, as shown in an EIR, of the part of the project for which it has - 3 - approval authority and to make certain findings described in CEQA Guidelines §§ 15091, 15093, 15096, and 15162. E. The FEIR has been made available for review by City and the public and City has had the opportunity to review and consider the FEIR, which is available for public review at the custodian of the record San Francisco Planning Department offices at 1650 Mission Street, San Francisco, California. F. City finds that the approval action taken herein is within the scope of the Project and activities evaluated in the FEIR. City has reviewed and considered the CEQA Findings and MMRP and hereby incorporates by reference, as though fully set forth herein, SFPUC Resolution No. 10-0174. SFPUC Resolution No. 10-0174, including the CEQA findings, MMRP, and statement of overriding considerations is a part of the record of this approval and are available for review in the Engineering Division as well as the City Clerk’s Office. G. City further finds that since the FEIR was certified, there have been no substantial Project changes and no substantial changes in Project circumstances that would require major revisions to the FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or an increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance that would change the conclusions set forth in the FEIR. H. The SFPUC has adopted the mitigation measures recommended in the FEIR, as set forth in the MMRP, and has authority to implement the mitigation measures or to seek any required approvals for the mitigation measures. City has no direct responsibility for implementation of the MMRP. However, in the event that the identified mitigation measures require consultation, action, or approval by the City, City staff is hereby authorized to implement, coordinate or approve such mitigation measures in a manner consistent with applicable law. I. City has not identified any feasible alternative or additional feasible mitigation measures within its powers that would substantially lessen or avoid any significant effect the Project would have on the environment. Furthermore, City finds that the Project is in the public interest because of the water supply's importance for the public safety and welfare, and that the Project's significant and unavoidable environmental impacts are acceptable due to the Project's benefits to the public, as further described in the CEQA Findings incorporated herein. - 4 - -5- .7. .8. -8- .:. -10- .22. .23. .24. -14- .26. .27. .28. .29. .2:. -20- .32. .33. .34. .35. .36. .37. .38. .39. .3:. -30- -31- .43. -33- -34- .46. .47. .48. .49. .4:. .51. -41- .53. .54. -44- .56.
