Existing and future traffic noise levels are calculated using the Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise Model (TNM 2.5) normalized to a distance of 100 feet from the center of the road. 2. The CNEL is assumed to be equal to the PM peak hour L,q plus a factor of 3.2 dBA which is based on the ambient noise measurements. 3. Traffic data provided by Crane Transportation Group (24 September 2009) is used as input to the noise model. The PM peak hour data is used to calculate the CNEL because the volumes are higher than the AM peak hour. 4. The noise level increase generated by increased traffic is proportional to 10 times the base 10 logarithm of the traffic volume increase 5. The assumed traffic speeds and heavy truck percentages are based on observations during the noise measurement program. ROSEN GOLDBERG DER& LEWITZ,INC. 1100 Larkspur Landing Circle #375.

INTRODUCTION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents a Transportation Oemand Management (TOM) program for the proposed Gateway Business Park located at the intersection of Oyster Point and Gateway Boulevards in South San Francisco, California. The report identifies TOM measures that will exceed the amount needed to achieve 35 percent alternative mode use for the Park's employees, as required by the City of South San Francisco (SSF). The TOM Program also satisfies the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) requirement, mitigating all new peak- hour trips based on the C/CAG trip credit guidelines. BACKGROUND With the Gateway Business Park Master Plan, Chamberlin Associates has proposed a re-envisioning of a successful, yet underutilized, corporate campus location. The new vision for this 22.6-acre site provides for the phased and incremental replacement of low-scale buildings with a modern, energy-efficient, higher density development that prioritizes the pedestrian and provides significant open space opportunities. The higher density development also represents the highest and best use of this campus in this high-demand life sciences employment cluster. The new Business Park, at build-out, would provide approximately 1,200,000 square feet of office and research and development space, replacing the existing 284,000 square feet. This report presents a TOM Program to identify measures to reduce the number of single-occupant automobile trips and the total traffic impact generated by the proposed project. PURPOSE The purpose of this TOM Program is to develop a set of strategies, measures, and incentives to encourage future employees of Gateway Business Park to walk, bicycle, use public transportation, carpool, or use other alternatives to driving alone when traveling to and from work. In general, TOM supports more mobility by using existing transportation systems, boosts economic efficiency of the current transportation infrastructure, improves air quality, saves energy, and reduces traffic congestion. Convenience and cost are the primary factors that affect a person's choice of transportation mode. Measures that work well for some people or types of businesses do not work as well for others. Therefore, an effective TOM Program needs to provide multiple options and incentives that are flexible enough to allow customization to meet the varied needs of individual employees and employers. This program presents an array of proven strategies and measures used in the Bay Area under a flexible implementation plan that can meet the needs of the future tenants of Gateway Business Park. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located at the intersection of Oyster Point and Gateway Boulevards in South San Francisco, CA, as shown on Figure 1. Office and research and development (R&O) tenants would occupy the Business Park. fp 1 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" ~ & ~ w ~ <( o zW a f- f- a z ~ ~ v .c ~ ~ "' ~Z' " ~ 2"0 ro ~ 0~ " f- C 0:: ~ <( 0; "' 0 " I i :~ " ;,g ;1 C III V1 a u V> 'u ?O' :i5a:l ~ u- i::i z w Cl w ~ . 80 '0.5 't t:-i:;a ~ Eo:: 1::2::"<:( Sl.s: +- ~ 8, o Ii. 1': v E v 01 ro c ro :;; 'C C ro E v c c o 1;; 1:: o 0, ~ c ro ,:: ~ i;; ll, ~ ~ v c .~ ~ In ~ v 1;; Cl z o ~ () o ...J I- () W .., o c::: ll.

The proposed project will provide approximately 3,100 total parking spaces. The floor area ratio (FAR) of the proposed project will be 1.25. A site plan for the proposed project is shown on Figure 2. The proposed project is estimated to generate 1,640 AM peak hour trips, 1,500 PM peak hour trips, and 11,130 daily trips from an estimated 4,080 employees.' REGULATORY SETTING The TDM Program is based on guidelines provided by SSF' and C/CAG', the local Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo County. City of South San Francisco Guidelines The SSF guidelines for TDM Programs require that all projects that generate greater than 100 daily trips obtain a required alternative mode use goal of 28 percent, based on a list of 15 required TDM Program measures. This alternative mode use goal is required to be monitored and reported to SSF through annual surveys of employee travel habits. More stringent alternative mode use goals are required for projects that seek densities above set FAR thresholds, based on land use. The proposed project is located within the Gateway Specific Plan District. The maximum allowable FAR in this district is 1.25, and the proposed project is seeking this maximum. This FAR, in exceeding the citywide office park TDM threshold of 1.0 FAR, requires an alternative mode use share of 35 percent per SSF guidelines. City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County Guidelines C/CAG guidelines require developments that generate 100 or more net new peak hour trips to implement TDM measures that have the capacity to mitigate all new peak hour trips, based on C/CAG programmatic trip credits. , See Appendix C for proposed project trip generation and employee estimates. , City of South San Francisco, Municipal Code, Chapter 20.120, 2006. , City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County, Revised C/CAG Guidelines for the Implementation ofthe Land Use Component of the Congestion Management Program, 2004. fp 3 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" z '" E w ~ c( 0:: w 8, ~ ...J :J <( e ll.

EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM .... This chapter describes the existing transportation system in the project vicinity, including the transit services and facilities, bicycle facilities, and pedestrian facilities. TRANSIT SERVICE The project site is not directly served by rail or bus transit services; however, three transit agencies (Caltrain, BART, and SamTrans) provide commuter rail and bus service near the project site. Pedestrian accessibility to BART and Caltrain stations is poor and inconvenient and no SamTrans bus service exists east of US-101 in South San Francisco. The project site must rely on supplementary shuttle services to connect employees on campus with BART and Caltrain stations. Because no direct connection exists to serve employees who use SamTrans, these employees must connect with existing Caltrain or BART stations to ride shuttles to and from work. The existing transit services are shown on Figure 3 and described in detail below. Rail Service Caltrain and BART provide rail transportation services to a variety of regional destinations such as San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. BART service frequencies average about once every 15 minutes during the AM (6;00- 9;00 AM) and PM (4;00 - 7;00 PM) commute periods and about once every 20 minutes during off-peak periods. Caltrain frequencies vary between 20, 35, and 40 minutes in the northbound direction during the AM commute period (6;00 - 9;00 AM). During the PM commute period (4;00 - 7;00 PM), southbound frequencies vary between 20 and 40 minutes. Less frequent service, about once every hour, is provided during off-peak periods. Caltrain The current South San Francisco Caltrain Station is located underneath the interchange of East Grand Avenue and US-101 approximately 1.1 miles from the project site. Only local and some i, limited (skip-stop) trains stop at this station, approximately every twenty minutes to an hour. There are no plans to have express (Baby Bullet) service stops at this station now or in the future. In the near future, Caltrain and the City of South San Francisco plan on moving the South San Francisco Caltrain station several hundred feet to the south to greatly improve pedestrian, bike, transit/shuttle accessibility, as well as passenger waiting area and platform amenities. A new pedestrian underpass at this station is planned. cal,e BART In addition to Caltrain, South San Francisco employees have access to BART, a regional, rail ra pid tra nsit service provided by the Bay Area Ra pid Transit District (BART). The South San Francisco BART Station is located approximately 3.7 miles from the project site. In 2003, BART completed its South San Francisco BART station near EI Camino Real and the Kaiser Permanente Medical Facility on the west side of the City of South San Francisco. . f j 1';,-:> ~: fp 5 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" E III '" c ~ W w ~ w 8, () 0:: 0: ~ 0 :J <( Ii. ~ Cl ~ 0 1;; ~ (fJ 1': ii: ~ 20 ~ W ::;; >- E ~ ~ >- ~ III ~ 0 01 "- ~ 2 ~ I- m c .. ~ '0 ~ III . ~ 0 :;; c .. ~ ~ Z "E .... c ~ 'C " . \\ .~ <( c ~ I ~" " ~ .~ ~ ~.~ \:\ co .~ " i E " ~ , ~ I- " 0 . .;; ;;: , .fa.

Shuttle Service As shown in Figure 3, the East of 101 Area relies on supplementary shuttle services to connect employees with the BART and Caltrain stations. Shuttle services are operated by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance and include the Gateway Area and Oyster Point Shuttles. No SamTrans bus service exists east of US-101 in South San Francisco. Because no direct connection exists to serve employees who use SamTrans, these travelers must connect with existing Caltrain or BART stations to ride shuttles to and from the East of 101 Area. Appendix A includes timetables for these shuttle services. Ovster Point BART Shuttle The Oyster Point BART Shuttle provides service between the South San Francisco BART station and the Oyster Point area office buildings with eight shuttles from/to the station, approximately every 24 minutes in the morning (6:32 AM - 9:17 AM) and nine shuttles, approximately every 27 minutes in the evening (3:36 PM - 7:09 PM). The closest shuttle stop locations are at 1120 Veterans Boulevard, approximately 0.1 miles from the project site, and at the intersection of Oyster Point Boulevard and Eccles Avenue, approximately 0.2 miles from the project site. Currently there are limited sidewalks from the project site to both shuttle stops. However, there is a new crosswalk planned across Oyster Point Boulevard at the Veterans Boulevard crossing, and new sidewalks planned along Oyster Point Boulevard in conjunction with the 180 and 200 Oyster Point Boulevard developments. Ovster Point Caltrain Shuttle The Oyster Point Caltrain Shuttle provides service between the South San Francisco Caltrain station and the Oyster Point area office buildings every 28 minutes in the morning (5:44 AM - 9:29 AM) and approximately every 34 minutes in the evening (3:14 PM - 7:00 PM). Shuttle stops are shared with the Oyster Point BART Shuttle, as outlined above. Gatewav Area Caltrain Shuttle The Gateway Area Caltrain Shuttle provides service between the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and the Gateway area office buildings with nine shuttles, approximately every 20 minutes in the morning (7:07 AM - 9:25 AM) and eight shuttles, approximately every 45 minutes in the evening (3:21 PM - 6:05 PM). The closest shuttle stop location is at 700 Gateway Boulevard, directly in front of the project site. fp 7 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... Bus Service SamTrans is the transit authority for San Mateo County that provides both local and regional bus service, primarily to San Mateo County locations. SamTrans does not provide direct service to the project site or areas east of Highway 101. The closest bus stop is located at the intersection of Airport Boulevard/Baden Avenue, approximately 1.3 miles from the project site. SamTrans Route 292 provides bus service between the Hillsdale Shopping Center, in San Mateo, and the Transbay Terminal, in downtown San Francisco. This bus route operates along Airport Boulevard, within South San Francisco, and stops at Airport Boulevard/Baden Avenue. The hours of operation are 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM on weekdays and weekends. Buses run approximately every 25 minutes. Taxi Service The Downtown Dasher Taxi Service provides free taxi vouchers between South San Francisco job sites east of Highway 101 and the downtown area of South San Francisco in the middle of the day (11 :00 AM - 2:00 PM). The Downtown Dasher is operated by Peninsula Yellow Cab of South San Francisco and managed by the Alliance. Employees who wish to use the service need employer-provided vouchers and trip reservations before 10:00 AM. Currently there is no cost to employers for providing the Downtown Dasher service. Appendix A includes a brochure with more information on this program. BICYCLE FACILITIES Near the project site, bike lanes are provided on Sister Cities Boulevard, Oyster Point Boulevard, Gateway Boulevard, and East Grand Avenue, as shown on Figure 3. Gateway Boulevard and Airport Boulevard are also designated as bicycle routes. The San Francisco Bay Trail, part of a planned 400-mile system of trails encircling the Bay, is located close to the project site and provides access to the Oyster Point Marina. Bicycle facilities include bike paths (Class I), bike lanes (Class II), and bike routes (Class III). Bike paths are paved trails that are separated from roadways. Bike lanes are lanes on roadways designated for use by bicycles with striping, pavement legends, and signs. Bike routes are roadways that are designated for bicycle use by signs only and mayor may not include additional pavement width for cyclists. PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks, crosswalks, trails, and pedestrian signals. Near the project site, sidewalks are located on both sides of Oyster Point Boulevard. Limited crosswalks are provided at nearby signalized intersections. A segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail is located to the north of the project site, approximately 0.2 miles away, and hugs the Bay shoreline, as shown on Figure 3. The Bay Trail is a public pedestrian and bicycle trail that is planned to extend around the entire San Francisco Bay. Currently, there are gaps in the trail to the north, above Brisbane, and just south of South San Francisco. fp 8 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... 3.

MODE SHARE ASSUMPTIONS Based on a review of TOM Programs and employee travel surveys for comparable sites in South San Francisco, the TOM Program assumes the following composition of the required 35 percent alternative mode share for the 4,080 campus employees: . Transit: 12.5% (510 employees) . Carpool: 12% (490 employees) . Vanpool: 4% (162 employees) . Bicycle: 2% (82 employees) . Flextime: 2% (82 employees) . Walk 1 % (41 employees) . Telecommute: 1% (41 employees) . Motorcycle/Scooter: 0.5% (20 employees) The quantity and distribution of the TOM strategies presented in this chapter reflect this assumption. Should employee surveys suggest the 35 percent mode share has a different distribution, the allocation of the TOM strategies, and additional or substitute strategies, may be appropriate. REQUIRED MEASURES Site Design Features Bicvcle Parkina The Landlord will provide bicycle parking based on tenant needs. Parking provision options include bicycle racks, bicycle lockers, bicycle cages in the parking garages, or in-office accommodation. Figure 4 includes proposed bicycle parking locations. Oirect Route to Transit Well-lit paths will be provided utilizing the most direct route to the nearest transit or shuttle stop from the different buildings. These paths are shown in Figure 5. Free Parkina for Carpools and Vanpools Free parking will be provided for all carpools and vanpools. Passenaer Loadina Zones A passenger loading zone for a carpool or vanpool drop-off will be provided convenient to all buildings. Parking stalls convenient to building entrances will be time-restricted to allow vehicles to drop-off/pick-up passengers. See Figure 4 for potential drop-off areas. fp 13 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... Pedestrian Connections On-site pedestrian facilities will be provided, including on-street sidewalks and lighted paths between the buildings, parking areas, and Gateway and Oyster Point Boulevards. These connections are shown in Figure 5. Preferential Carpool and Vanpool Parkina Ten percent of garage parking spaces will be reserved for carpools and vanpools and will be located in premium and convenient locations, per City requirements. These preferential spaces will discourage single-occupant vehicle trips and improve accessibility for those sharing vehicles. Based on the anticipated mode share for the Business Park, these spaces maybe underused. Therefore, carpool/vanpool spaces may have single occupancy vehicles allowed after 10 AM, thereby also promoting flextime. Shower and Locker Facilities Shower and locker facilities will help promote cycling as an alternative commute option. Shower facilities (men's and women's) will be provided in three of the campus buildings, assuring all tenants have access. Each shower facility will include one shower and 8 clothing lockers, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Shuttle Proaram In addition to the existing shuttle stop, two new stops are proposed for the Gateway Business Park: one on Gateway Boulevard and one on Oyster Point Boulevard, as shown in Figure 4. Caltrain and BART shuttles provide service from the South San Francisco Caltrain and BART stations to the Gateway Business Park. Information Boards and Kiosks An information kiosk/board will be located in employee break rooms or other common gathering areas (i.e., building lobby). The kiosk will contain information on shuttles, SamTrans, Caltrain, BART, VTA, Downtown Dasher, e-Concierge online amenities, van pool organizations, bicycle routes, and other transportation options information. The TDM Coordinator will be in charge of updating information. Supporting Features TDM Coordinators The lease agreement between the owner and tenants will state that the tenants will designate a TDM Coordinator for the site. The TDM Coordinator will promote the TDM Program, activities, and features to all employees, and will conduct the monitoring/reporting process. The TDM Coordinator will develop an on-site transportation information center with SamTrans, BART, and Caltrain schedules and maps. The TDM Coordinator will provide information via new employee orientation packets, flyers, posters, email, and/or educational programs. The TDM Coordinator's role will also include actively marketing alternative mode use, administering the carpool and vanpool matching program, promoting special programs such as Bike-to-Work Day or Carpool Week, and overseeing the guaranteed ride home program (working with a local taxi service or rental car agencies). The TDM Coordinator will also conduct biannual employee commute surveys to identify the need for mode specific promotional material and educational programs. fp 14 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" E Z '" w ~ 0 W ~ 8, 0:: <( 0 ~ :J ~~ Ii.

Carpool/Vanpool Matchinq Services Carpools in the Bay Area consist of two or more people riding in one vehicle for commute purposes. Vanpools provide similar commuting benefits as carpools, though a vanpool consists of seven to 15 passengers, including the driver, and the vehicle is either owned by one of the vanpoolers or leased from a vanpool rental company. The TDM Coordinator will provide an Internet link to the 511.org Rideshare website to access ride matching services. The TDM Coordinator will also administer an on-site carpool and vanpool matching service for employees and maintain a list of available vanpools that provide service between the Gateway Business Park offices and various points in the Bay Area. Guaranteed Ride Home A common reason that employees do not use alternative modes (i.e., carpool, vanpool, or transit) is the inability to leave work unexpectedly for a family emergency or the fear of being stranded if they need to work late. One TDM element that allays these fears is the Alliance's Guaranteed Ride Home program. With this program, employees can use a taxi service, rental car or other means to get home and the employer pays for the service. The lease agreement will state that the tenants must participate in the Alliance's Guaranteed Ride Home program, which will be managed by the TDM Coordinator. Employees who wish to use the service will contact the TDM Coordinator to make the travel arrangements. Promotional Proqrams Promotional programs include new employee orientation packets outlining alternative transportation options and an orientation program, which will explain the importance and benefits of using alternative transportation modes. Other annual or quarterly events could include commute fair where various transit organizations can set up marketing booths during lunch and encourage other events like "Bike to Work Day." Transportation Options for Visitors (Maps and Schedules)' On-site Assistance Visitors to Gateway Business Park will also be able to use the on-site transportation amenities. Maps and schedules will be available online and tenant TDM Coordinators will offer on-site assistance. TMA Membership Tenants will participate with the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance, with provides ongoing support for alternative commute programs. The TDM Coordinator will work with the Alliance to create a Transportation Action Plan for each tenant. Biannual Emplovee Commute Survev The TDM Program will be performance-based and the alternative mode use will be monitored annually, beginning one year after tenant occupancy. The alternative mode use and general perceptions of the TDM Program will come from statistically valid employee surveys. The TDM Coordinator may use information from the employee surveys to adjust existing or implement new TDM Program measures. The TDM Coordinator will submit the annual survey to the SSF Economic Development Director. The TDM Coordinator will also work with SSF Economic Development staff to document the effectiveness of the TDM Program through triennial reporting. Independent consultants, retained by the City and paid for by the tenants, will measure, through observation, the alternative mode use achieved at Gateway Business Park every three years, beginning three years after tenant occupancy. If the alternative mode use goals are not achieved, the TDM Coordinator will provide an explanation of how and why the goal has not been reached and a detailed description of additional measures that will be fp 16 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... adopted to attain the required mode use. The independent consultants will submit the findings of the triennial survey to the SSF Economic Development Director. New Emplovee Orientation Packet Orientation packets will provide information on TDM Program benefits. Packets will include (but not be limited to) information on carpool/vanpool options, shuttle services, Downtown Dasher, and bicycle options. Commute Alternatives Brochure Rack (Maps and Schedules) Brochure racks will be in public spaces in buildings, for example break rooms or lobbies. They will provide information on transportation options and upcoming events, such as "Bike to Work Day." The TDM Coordinator will maintain and update the brochure racks with current information. Spare the Air Promotion The TDM Coordinator will notify employees of Spare the Air days (as declared for the Bay Area region) and associated transit promotions. Prizes may be offered for non-SOV travel on these days to encourage participation. Rideshare Week Promotion The TDM Coordinator will promote and encourage ridesharing during a Rideshare Week Promotion. The TDM Coordinator may offer prizes as incentives for ridesharing. ADDITIONAL CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MEASURES Site Design Features Land Dedication for Transit/Bus Shelter Shuttle pullout areas and shelters will be provided at campus shuttle stops. Harsh wind conditions in South San Francisco create uncomfortable waiting conditions; therefore, shelters are necessary to encourage transit ridership. Bicvcle Connections Bicycle connections will be provided to connect bicycle routes to building entrances and bicycle storage facilities. These connections are shown on Figure 4. Supporting Features Subsidized Transit Tickets The TDM Coordinator will facilitate tenant participation in the Commuter Check program (online), which provides vouchers that can be redeemed online for transit passes and tickets, vanpool fares, or park and ride lot costs at BART/Caltrain stations. The Commuter Check credit will be provided tax-free to employees that ride transit to work in amounts up to $115 per month (amount determined by the IRS (IRS Tax Code Section 132(f) - Qualified Transportation Fringe)). Tenants may also elect to subsidize fully Commuter Checks as an employee benefit. fp 17 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... On-site Amenities Tenants will make employees aware of on-site amenities that may be provided bye-Concierge, or other similar online service providers. E-Concierge is an online service that provides food, catering, groceries, banking, real estate, haircut and salon, laundry and dry cleaning, errands, daycare, and many more convenient amenities by reservationl request on work sites (see htlp:llwww.britanniassfcommute.ora/concierae.html). Appendix A includes a flyer with more information on this service. On-site Retail or Childcare The Landlord or Tenant will provide an on-site retail, restaurant, or childcare establishment, which is still to be determined. On-site Open Space Parking has been consolidated into structures allowing for a "Central Commons" area open space for employees and visitors to gather and exercise. On-site Transit Sales Commuter Checks will be available online through Commuter Check Direct, a service that will deliver the transit passes directly to the employee's home or office. Nearbv Childcare Center The nearby Peninsula Family YMCA childcare center at 559 Gateway Boulevard will provide convenient childcare. The YMCA center has capacity for 100 infants, toddlers, and preschool children. Nearbv Cafe and Restaurant Specialties Cafe, located at 701 Gateway Boulevard, provides breakfast, lunch, and catering options for tenants and is within walking distance. The Embassy Suites Hotel Two Fifty Restaurant, located at 250 Gateway Boulevard, provides upscale dining within walking distance. Telecommutina Where feasible, tenants will provide the opportunity for their employees to work off-site with the necessary infrastructure, i.e. Internet access and internal data access. Downtown Dasher The Downtown Dasher is a free midday taxi service that operates between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM. The reservation-only service offers transportation to two stops in the downtown area of South San Francisco. The "Downtown Dasher" taxi service requires a voucher and a trip reservation, which can be arranged through the TDM Coordinator. fp 18 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... Video Conferencinq Centers The use of live video connections may serve as a substitute for physical meetings, reducing the amount of vehicle trips to the Business Park. Video connections will be feasible in all campus conference rooms, with computer and video technology to be provided by the tenants. Motorcvcle/Scooter Parkinq Twenty motorcycle parking spaces will be provided in the parking garages. Up to eight motorcycles can park within a vehicle parking space, making this parking an efficient use of space in the garages. Flextime Where feasible, tenants will offer flextime options such as compressed workweeks and alternative work hours. As noted above, employees arriving after 10 AM will be eligible to park in available carpool and vanpool preferential parking locations. Connections to Future Ferrv Service South San Francisco ferry service is expected to begin in September 2009. Tenants will be able to access the ferry service via expanded shuttles to/from the ferry terminal. PHASING The Gateway Business Park redevelopment will be incremental and phased. As such, the implementation of the TOM Program will be incremental to reflect the number and nature of employees within each development phase. The full TOM program will be deployed with full build out. Appendix B presents a set of provision assumptions associated with each strategy. This includes provision requirements such as carpoollvanpool parking (10% of parking provisions). These assumptions may be referenced in each phase to determine incremental site design features as appropriate. Most of the supporting features are existing (requiring only tenant enrollment) or will be established with each new tenant. ENFORCEMENT AND FINANCING Landlord will prepare lease language for all tenants that requires the designation of a TOM Coordinator(s) for the Business Park (multiple tenants may share one TOM Coordinator), membership in the Alliance, and compliance with and implementation of the TOM Program. Tenants may implement the TOM Program with different additional measures, so long as the programmatic credits from the replacement measures meet or exceed the programmatic credits of the measures identified by this plan, as described in Appendix E. Tenants not meeting requirements may be subjected to penalties per the lease. The Gateway Business Park TOM Program will be funded through tenant payments and Alliance grants, which pay up to 50 percent of bicycle facility and Guaranteed Ride Home Program costs. fp 19 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 .... 4. COMPLIANCE WITH GUIDELINES AND EFFECTIVENESS As noted in the Regulatory Setting section of Chapter 1, the TOM Program must comply with SSF and C/CAG Guidelines. These guidelines and effectiveness standards are described below. CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO GUIDELINES The SSF Guidelines require the Gateway Business Park TOM Program to achieve a 35 percent alternative mode use credit. According to the SSF Guidelines, the TOM Program will implement all required and several additional TOM measures. Based on calculations of C/CAG trip credits, as shown in Table 2, the TOM Program will provide for 3,941 alternative mode use credit trips, which represents 35.4 percent of the estimated 11,130 total daily project trips. Assumptions for the TOM Program quantities are included in Appendix B. The TOM Program will therefore exceed SSF TOM requirements by providing all required measures and exceeding the required 35 percent alternative mode use. CITY/COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS OF SAN MATEO COUNTY GUIDELINES C/CAG Guidelines require the Gateway Business Park TOM Program to have the capacity to reduce fully the demand for new peak hour trips. According to C/CAG Guidelines, the amount of "new" peak hour trips' is calculated based on standard rates developed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Applying ITE rates, the proposed project is estimated to generate 1,250 new AM peak hour trips, 1,130 new PM peak hour trips, and 8,420 new daily trips from an estimated 4,080 employees.' According to C/CAG trip credits, the Gateway Business Park TOM Program will have the capacity to reduce the demand for peak hour trips by 3,941 trips, as shown in Table 2. This is in excess of the maximum number of AM or PM peak hour trips calculated using ITE estimates (1,250 and 1,130 trips, respectively). The Gateway Business Park TOM Program therefore exceeds C/CAG requirements. · "New" is defined as in excess of existing land use trip generation. , See Appendix C for project trip generation and employee estimates. fp 20 FEIIR & PErRI ,,,.\~f)""'O' ,f)'IUt"'" Gateway Business Park Transportaflon Demand Management Program Fmal, September 2008 ....

Do it all with the Alliance's Emergency Ride Home Program Most employees choose to drive their own personal vehicle to work because they don't want to be stranded at work should an emergency arise. With the Emergency Ride Home program, employees are given the assurance that, in the case of an emergency, they will be provided with a free taxi ride or a 24-hour car rental. We pay 75% of the ride! The participating employer pays the remaining 25%. Historically, program costs remain very low because emergencies are infrequent. The Alliance can help you design easy administration policies that prevent program abuse. A Employer cost of one Emergency Ride Home: average $12 Trusting your employer will be there for you in an emergency: Priceless PENINSULA TRAFFiC CONGESTION RELIEF ALLIANCE The Alliance does all the work.

TIle 22.6 acre project is located at 900, 850, 1000, 800, 750 and 700 Gateway Boulevard in South San Francisco. TIle area is bounded to the n0l1h by Oyster Point Boulevard, to the south by 670 Gateway Boulevard, to the east by adjacent properties along Eccles A \'enue and the west by Gateway Boulevard. TIle attached Figure I shows the location and proposed de\'elopment plan on the property. The proposed project includes demolition of six existing commercial onice buildings with approximately 284,000 square feet and replacement with six new research and development buildings of approximately 1,230,570 square feet that will be part of a life science campus. The proposed net increase in commercial onice space is ~946,570 square feet. TIlis project is not specifically covered in Cal Water's 2006 South San Francisco (SSF) District Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), which was adopted on December 15, 2006: therefore, its water requirements and how they would be met are addressed in this Water Supply Assessment (WSA). TIle SSF District UW!\IP document provides historic and forecasted water demand and supply data and analyses and can be referenced for more detailed infollllation on those topics. Cal Water updates its Urban Water l\Ianagement Plans every three years. Senate Bills 610 (Chapter 643, Statutes of2001) (SB 610) and Senate Bill 221 (Chapter 642, Statutes of2001) (SB 221) amended state law, etJective January I, 2002, to impro\'e the link between infollllation on water supply availability and land use development decisions made by cities and counties. SB 61O/SB 221 are companion measures that require detailed infollllation regarding water supply availability be provided to local public agency decision-makers prior to approval of development projects that meet or exceed any of the following criteria: I. A residential development of more than 500 dwelling units. 2. A shopping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet. 3. A commercial onice building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,lJOO square feet oft100r space. 4. A hotel or motel with more than 500 rooms. 5. An industrial, manut:~cturing or processing plant or industrial park planned to house more than 1,000 persons occupying more than 40 acres of land or having more than 650,000 square feet oft100r area. 6. A mixed-used project that includes one or more ofthe projects specified above. 7. A project that would demand an amount of water equivalent to, or greater than the amount of water required by a 500 dwelling unit project. Since the proposed Gateway Business Park development project exceeds the second criteria, a SB 610 WSA and a SB 221 verification document are required. A SB 610 WSA must address the adequacy of the water supply to meet the estimated demands of the proposed Gateway Business Park project over the next 20 years in addition to those of Cal \Vater's existing customers and other anticipated future users under normal, single dry year and multiple dry year conditions. (Water Code sI0911(a).) SB 610 and SB221 require that the infol1llation developed to address the adequacy of water supply question be included in the administrative record that serves as the evidentiary basis for an approval action by the local public agency. Both state bills recognize local control and decision-making regarding the availability of water for projects and the approval of projects. Under SB 610, water supply assessments must be furnished to local governments for inclusion in any required California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. Water Code 10910 (a) requires that 'my city or county that determines that a project. as defined in Section 10912, is subject to CEQA shall comply with the requirements ofthis pati ofthe water code. Under SB 221, approval by a city or county of celiain residential subdivisions requires an atlil1llative written verification of sutlicient water supply. An SB 221 verification document is required for tentative tract map approvaL In a letter dated September 12, 2008, the finll of BKF on behalf ofthe City of South San FratlCisco requested that Cal Water prepare a SB 610 water supply assessment. Cal Water submitted a Draft WSA for the proposed development to the City for review on November 12, 2008 or approximately 60 days later. (Water Code 1091O(g) requires the water supplier to prepare the assessment within 90 days of request.) As referenced, Cal Water adopted its Clll1'ent SSF District UWl\IP for the District on December 15,2006. Per Section 1091O(c) (3) of the Water Code, this water supply assessment is based on information contained in the UWl\IP and from other sources cited here. Following is a description of the proposed Gateway Business Pat'k development project its projected water demands, and a description and assessment of the proposed water supply to meet those and all other forecasted demands in the SSF District in accordance with the requirements ofSB 610.

"'ater Demand Forecast: Gateway Business ParI. Deyelopment For the period from July 2007 ~ June 2008 (I year or 365 days), the total intemalmetered water use for the five existing buildings (700, 1000, 750, 800 and 850) was 3.392,180 gallons for an area of 234,0 13 square feet. TIlerefore, overall average daily water use was 0.04 gallons/day/sq t1 TIle existing building at 700 Gateway Blvd is nearly all otl'ice space use. The building area is 55,098 square feet and annual water use from July 2007 ~ June 2008 was 722, 568 gallons or 0.036 gallons/day/ft2 TIle existing building at 800 Gateway Blvd is nearly all biotechnology research and de\'elopment laboratory space use. TIle building area is 45,400 square feet and annual water use trom July 2007 ~ June 2008 was \'039,720 gallons or 0.063 gallons/day!tl'. For the July 2007 ~ June 2008 period, total landscape inigation water use was 7,219,192 gallons for an area of250,l43 square feet. TIlerefore, a\'erage daily inigation water use was: 0.079 gallons/day!tl'. For the proposed development project it is assumed that water usage rates for new otl'ice space and new R&D laboratories will remain the same. TIle existing landscaped area, mainly grass, is 295,100 square feet. TIle proposed build out landscaped area will be mainly drought tolerant plantings. TIle landscaped area is expected to increase by 88,500 square feet to a total area of 383.500 square feet. TIlis is an increase in area of 30%. TIle landscape architect estimates a reduction in ilTigation rate of at least 1/3 due to conversion from grass to drought tolerant plants. Hence, in the WSA it is assumed that there is no change in total quantity of water use for ilTigation due to proposed project. Approximately, 40% of the proposed new building space will be used for otlices and the remaining 60% of space for biotechnology research 'Uld development laboratories. 3 It is assumed that use ofthe new \'230,570 square feet will be the same as the existing development. TIlerefore, the only change in water demand will be that due to the net increase in building space. TIle estimated increase in water demand due to the proposed project is: 0.036 gallons/day/sq tl x 946,570 sq tl x OAO + 0.063 gallons/day/sq tl x 946,570 sq tl x 0.60 = 13,631 + 35,780 = 49AII gallons/dav. SSF DislIict TIle South San Francisco District is located in nOl1hern San ]'vIateo County approximately six miles south ofthe Citv of San Francisco. TIle district serws the conullunities of South San Francisco, Colma, a small portion of Daly City, and an unincolvorated area of San Mateo County known as BroadmooL which lies between Colma 'Uld Daly City. Figure 2 is a map showing the District's service areas. Figure 2: South San Francisco DistIict BG 1 B'i~ Cal Water designates customer classifications as follows: . Single Family Residential . Multit:~mily Residential 4 . Commercial . Industrial . GO\'el1l1nent . Other TIle residential sector of C\VS water service customers includes permanent single and multifamily residents. A variety of land uses exist in the South San Francisco service area. Within the City of South San Francisco, 28 percent of the land is residential, 21 percent industrial, seven-percent commercial, II percent is vacant and agricultural land and the balance is for public and utility use. In the City of Colma, approximately 77 percent ofthe land is used for cemeteries. TIle balance ofthe land is for residential, commercial, and public use. TIle Broadmoor area is primarily residentiaL Although the South San Francisco District is predominantly sUI1'0l11lded by communities ser\'ed by other water companies, a few pockets of growih ,md several areas of redevelopment remain. TIle average annual services for calendar year 2004 were 16,137. Single t:~mily residential services represented 85.5 percent commercial services 11.6 percent and all other services 2.90 percent SSF DislIict ,,' atel' Demand Total district demand is projected by multiplying the number of services for each customer class by the demand per service for that class. TIlis method accounts for the significant ditJerences between the demand per service associated with each customer class and the ditJerent growih rates for each class. Two growih pattel1ls were considered in the SSF UW~IP: I) 5-year a\'erage service connection growth rate, and 2) 10-year average selTice connection grO\vih rate. TIle growih rate for the five-year period 2000 to 2004 is 0.51 percent/year. The grO\vih rate for the ten-year period 1996 to 2005 is 0.87 percent/year. Each customer class, such as residential, commercial and other uses, grows at a ditJerent rate. TIlerefore, the use of short-term or long- tel1n grO\vih rates in developing total annual service connections is done on the basis of customer class. TIle 10-year average growih pattel1l is service connections ,vas used in the UWMP for making demand projections because it is more representative of actual growih in the South San Francisco District TIle SSF UWMP develops three demand scenarios: low, a\'erage and high. Since the low and high scenarios are not consistent with the record of demand growih, the average was used by Cal Water in making projections. In sunllnary, the SSF District's average demand per service by class is combined with the 10- year rate of growth in services by class to atTi\'e at the most probable demand through the year 5 2028. TIlis demand forecast also assumes that the Company's 10~o ,yater conseryation objective is achieyed and maintained. Table 2 shows actual and projected (ayerage) annual water demand for the SSF District to the vear 2028.

TIle 2008 estimated average demand is 8,830 AFY so the forecasted increase in ayerage day demand ti'om2008 to 2013 (5-year period) is 240 AFY or 214,000 gallons/day. TIle Gateway Business Park project forecasted increase in demand in 2013 is 245.330 net increase in square feet/946,570 x 49.411 gallons per day = 12,806 gallons per day or ~14 AFY. TIlis represents 6% (12,806/214,000) ofthe projected increase in forecasted SSF District water demand for that period. TIle estimated ayerage annual demand for the SSF District in 2028 is IOJJ30 AFY or 8.95 mgd so the increase in ayerage day demand from 2008 to 2028 (20-year period) is \,200 AFY or \,07 mgd. TIle Gateway Business Park project forecasted net increase in demand in 2028 is 49.4 II gallons/day or 55.4 AFY. TIlis represents 4.6% (49.4111 \'070JJOO) of the projected increase in forecasted SSF District water demand for the 20 year period. With respect to either the 5-year or 20-year forecasts, the Gateway Business Park project does not represent a significant percentage in the projected increase in District demand. For 2013, it leayes 94% ofthe projected increase in demand for other projects and general growth within the District. For 2028, it leaves 95.4% for other projects and general growih. Therefore, for purposes ofthis WSA, the increases in water demand are assumed to be pari of Cal Water's overall demand forecast. SSF DislIict Water Snpply TIle South San Francisco District water supply is a combination of purchased water and groundwater ti'om Company owned wells. The projected water supply source and annual quantity for the next 20 years is summarized in Table 3. 6 Table 3: SSF District Water Supplies (AFY) Water Supply Sources 2005 2008 2013 2018 2023 2028 San Francisco Public Utilities COlllmission 8,420 7,296 7,536 7,836 8,156 8,496 Cal Water Groundwater Wells 0 L534 L534 L534 L534 L534 Total 8,'/20 8,830 9,070 9,370 9,690 10,030 Purchasell \" ater Cal Water purchases treated surface water from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). TIlis supply is predominantly from the Siel1'a Nevada, delivered through the Hetch Hetchy aqueducts, but also includes treated water produced by the SFPUC from its local watersheds and t:~cilities in Alameda and San Mateo Counties. TIle amount of imported water available to SFPUC's retail and wholesale customers is constrained by hydrology, physical facilities, and the institutional t:~ctors that allocate the water supply ofthe Tuolumne River. Due to these constraints, the SFPUC is very dependent on reservoir storage to finn-up its water supplies. TIle SFPUC meets its retail and wholesale water demands through an integrated regional water system that includes water from local Bay Area water sources as well as imp011ed water from Hetch Hetchy reservoir. Local watershed facilities are operated to capture local runofJ as well as store impolled water. Local reservoirs include: Crystal Springs Reservoir, San Andreas Reservoir, Pilarcitos Reservoir, Calaveras Reservoir, and San Antonio Resel'Yoir. TIle Raker Act, which authorized the Hetch Hetchy project, prevents a privately owned utility such as Cal Water from receiving water from the Hetch Hetchy system, but allows local sources to be purchased. In addition, the Cal Water is subject to the Supplemental Agreement and l\Iaster Sales Contract. The water purchased is treated by SFPUC prior to delivery to Califomia Water Service C01npany. TIle district takes delivery from SFPUC from eleven metered connections from five SFPUC transmission lines. Supplv AssunUlce In 1984, Cal Water, along with 29 other Bay Area water suppliers, signed a Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract (Master Contract) with San Francisco, supplemented by an individual Water Supply Contract. TIlese contracts, \vhich expire in June 2009, pn1Yide for a 184mgd, expressed on an annual average basis of supply assurance to SFPUC wholesale customers collectively. Cal Water's supply assurance is 35.39 mgd or 39,642 acre feet per year. Although the l\Iaster Contract and accompanying Water Supply Contract expire in 2009, the Supply Assurance (which quantified San Francisco's obligation to supply water to its individual wholesale customers) survives their expiration and continues indefinitely. 7 TIle SFPUC can meet the demands of its retail and wholesale customers in years of average and alx1\'e awrage precipitation. The Master Contract allows the SFPUC to reduce water deliveries during droughts, emergencies and for scheduled maintenance activities. The SFPUC and all wholesale customers adopted an Interim Water ShOliage Allocation Plan in 2000 to address the allocation of water between San Francisco and wholesale customers in aggregate and among individual wholesale customers during water shortages of up to 20% of system-wide use. TIlis plan, which also expires in June 2009, is described in more detail in the SSF UWl\IP. G-roulld,,'ater Groundwater is e:-.1racted from Cal Water owned wells the Merced F0I111ation ofthe Colma Creek Basin, a sub-basin ofthe l\Ierced Valley Gl'Oundwater Basin. Gl'Oundwater supplies ten to fifteen percent ofthe district's water demand. Cal Water monitors the groundwater level of its wells. Figure 3 shows the average ground water level for the South San Francisco District. TIle water level has remained relative constant since 1990 due to the area receiving average to above awrage rainfall and that the wells have been operating at less than 60% oftotal capacity. The water levels have been rising since 2003 since the wells have been placed ofl-line as pati of a SFPUC program to demonstrate the feasibility of a cOl~iunctive use program SFPUC proposes to install wells in the West Basin have Cal WateL Daly City and San Bmno not pump their wells during periods of abow average precipitation and thereby "bank" the groundwater or increase the quantity of groundwater basin storage. During dry periods when SFPUC anticipates reductions in its deli wry of surface supplies, Cal Water, Daly City and San Bruno would pump their n0I111al amounts plus additional amounts stored to make up for the surt:~ce supply cutback. Agreements to implement this plan, which has been demonstrated to be technically feasible, are cmrently being negotiated among the parties.

TIle South San Francisco District has seven actiye wells with a total design capacity of 1,365 GPl\L If operated full-time, these wells could produce 1.97 mgd (2,207 AFY). TIlis production capacity represents about 20 to 25 percent of the annual demand in the district. A maximum of 1,560 AFY was pumped in 1970 and 1983. Over the past two decades, Cal Water's average groundwater production has been LOIS AFY, due largely to the ayailability ofSFPUC supplies.

Non-adjudicated Status of Basin Groundwater l\IaJul!!ement Plan TIle SSF District obtains groundwater from an un-adjudicated basin: howeyer, Cal Water has yoluntarily limited the annual production of groundwater from the Westside (Merced Valley) Basin to 500 million gallons per yem' in response to shared concems raised in a study prepared for the City of Daly City that focused on local groundwater conditions. A copy ofthe AB 3030 Groundwater Management Plan for the Wests ide Basin is included in Appendix H of the SSF UWl\IP. Rendell "'ater Recycling of wastewater is eyaluated by Cal Water in the SSF UWMP. Use of recycled water for non-potable uses (e.g., landscape ilTigation) can reduce demands on SFPUC and groundwater supplies. ClIITently, no recycled water is used in the SSF District. Following is a sunllllary ofthe potential for future recycling for non-potable uses. Wastewater Collection TIle NOl1h San Mateo County Sanitation District (NSl\ICSD) treats wastewater from Cal Water's South San Francisco seryice area conllllunities of Broadmoor and portions of Colma. 9 Communities also within the NSl\ICSD, but not in Cal Water's service area include Westlake, West borough County Water District Daly City, and the San Francisco County JaiL Municipal wastewater is generated in the NSMCSD service area by residential, commercial, and limited industrial sources. NSl\ICSD owns, operates and maintains its sewer system consisting of gravity sewers and pumping stations. South San Francisco and San Bruno own and operate the South San Frmlcisco Water Quality Control Plant (SSFWQCP). Wastewater from Cal Water's South San Frmlcisco service m'ea communities of South San Francisco and Colma is treated at the SSFWQCP. Wastewater from Sml Bruno and a small portion of Daly City is also treated at the SSFWQCP, but these areas are not within Cal \Vater's service m'ea. TIle sewer system includes gravity lines and force mains that combine both wastewater and St0I111 water runotJ. TIle quantity of wastewater generated is proportional to the population and the water use in the service area. For 2008, it is estimated that 3,300 AFY of wastewater t10\vs from Cal Water's South San Frmlcisco District. It is projected to increase to 3,700 AFY in 2028. Potential Water Recvcling in District TIle NSMWTP hopes to include teliiary treatment in the near future. TIle design improvements to upgrade the treatment process are approximately 30% complete. TIlis treatment will increase the possible uses for recycled water. Planned uses for the recycled water include il1'igation of three golf courses adjacent to the treatment plant and ilTigation of local median strips and athletic fields. However. the golf courses clll1'ently utilize groundwater resources for irrigation and both the golf courses and median strips are not located within Cal Water's South San Francisco service area. In addition, Cal \Vater's service areas in Broadmoor and Colma are residential communities with no cUI1'ent demand for recycled water. It is anticipated that potential customers will be served with recycled water from the North San l\Iateo \Vastewater Treatment Plant in the near future: however. none of these potential customers are located within Cal \Vater's service area. The cUI1'ent projected recycled water demand for Cal \Vater's service area serviced by NSMWTP through the year 2030 is 0 acre-feet per year. However. Cal Water will continue to pariicipate in planning ti)!' future recycled water project(s) with South Sml Francisco, Sml Bruno, and SFPUC and consider initiating ajoint feasibility study with Daly City to investigate supplying recycled water to Colma cemeteries. TIle SSFWQCP will be at capacity in approximately 5 year's and any available space will be used to increase capacity. Under Clll1'ent conditions the SSFWQCP does not have plans to provide recycled water at any time in the near future. Waste\vater Treatment in SSF District Area TIle wastewater at the North San l\Iateo Wastewater Treatment Plant (NSMWTP) receives secondm'v treatment. The NSMWTP does not have tertiary treatment. The NSl\IWTP has a - - capacity to treat 10.3 MGD average daily t10w but currently receives G.8l\IGD trom the NO/ih San l\Iateo County Sanitation District service area. Emuent is discharged to an outt:~ll at TI10111ton Beach via pipeline. Secondary non-public contact treated water is clll1'ently recycled trom this plant for il1'igation oflmldscaped medians in Westlake. Recycled water trom the NSMWTP is not available to the SSF District service area. 10 Waste,vater from the South San Francisco Water Quality Control Plant (SSFWQCP) receives secondary treatment with chlorination and de-chlorination before being discharged to the San Francisco Bay. TIle SSFWQCP also pl'lwides de-chlorination for chlorinated emuent for Burlingame, l\Iillbrae, and San Francisco Intemational Airpol1. TIle SSFWQCP has capacity to treat 13 MGD average daily t10w (instantaneous peak wet weather t10w capacity of 30 mgd) and cUlTently receiws 10 MGD trom the SSFWQCP service area. The SSFWQCP does not provide recycled water. A.n assessment of using recycled water trom this plant was made by the finn CDM in preparing the Cal Water's Water Supply and Facilities Master Plan for the SSF District and although it was concluded to not be feasible presently, it was recommended that recycling should be re-evaluated in the future. Desalinate(I'Vatet" Desalination by reverse osmosis (RG) of San Francisco Bay water is a longer-tenn potential supply that could be developed in the future if detennined to be cost-etJective relative to other sources. Developing a desalination treatment plant requires m'~ior feasibility inwstigations, environmental studies and considerable coordination with other local and state agencies and approximately 10 years oflead-time. Cl111'ently, desalinated water is not available. 'Vater Trausfers or Exchau!!es Cal 'Vater is not pursuing water transfers or exchanges at this time. However, during water rationing periods, or emergency conditions, Cal 'Vater may consider water transfer entitlements and or banked water trom neighboring agencies.

Purchase(I'Vater Cal Water serves the South San Francisco District and two additional districts in the San Francisco peninsula, Bear Gulch and l\Iid-Peninsula. TIle three districts rely on the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) as the main water source. Previously, Cal Water had a contractual agreement with the SFPUC to purchase up to 47,400 AFY (42.32 mgd) of water per year for all three peninsula districts. TIlis amount was set based on the SFPUC's locally generated supply, since the Raker Act. which authorized the construction ofthe Hetch-Hetchy Project. excludes investor-owned utilities. like Cal Water, from purchasing water produced by the Hetch-Hetchy Project. In 1984, Cal Water, along with 29 other Bay Area 12 water suppliers, signed a "Settlement Agreement and l\Iaster Water Sales Contract (Master Contract)" with San Francisco, supplemented by an individual Water Supply Contract. TIlese contracts provide for a 206, I 06 AFY (184 mgd annual average basis), Supply Assurance to the SFPUC's wholesale customers collectively. TIlis allocation was reached through negotiation in the early 1990s between the SFPUC and Bay Area Water Users Association (BA WUA), the predecessor organization to BA WSCA. California Water Service Company's individual Supply Assurance Allocation (SAA) for the three districts is 39,642 AFY (35.39 mgd). The supply from SFPUC is expected to be adequate and reliable through at least the expiration ofthe 25-yem' contract in 2009. Additionally, the acquisition ofthe Los Trancos County Water District in July 2005 will allow the transfer of its SAA to Cal Water. Los Trancos SAA is 123.22 AFY (O.IIMGD), which makes Cal Water's total Supply Assurance Allocation (SAA) for the three districts equal to 39,765 AFY (35.5 MGD). Although the l\Iaster Contract. and accompanying Water Supply Contract. expires in 2009, the Supply Assurmlce (which quantified San Francisco's obligation to supply water to its individual \vholesale customers) survives their expiration mld continues indefinitely. The Master Contract provides for the SAA to the SFPUC's wholesale customers subject to reduction in the event of drought. water shortage, eatlhquake, other acts of God, or rehabilitation and maintenance ofthe system The l\Iaster Contract does not guat'antee that San Francisco will meet peak daily or hourly customer demands when their mllmal usage exceeds the Supply Assuratlce. TIle SFPUC's \vholesale customers have agreed to the allocation of the 184mgd Supply Assurance among each agency, with each entity's share ofthe Supply Assurance set f011h on a schedule adopted in 1993. TIle SFPUC can meet the water demands of its retail and wholesale customers in wet and normal years, however: the Master Contract allows the SFPUC to reduce water deliveries during droughts, emergencies, mld for scheduled maintenance activities. The Interim Water Sh011age Allocation Plan (IWSAP) between the SFPUC and its wholesale customers adopted in 2000 provides that the SFPUC determines the available water supply in drought yeat's for sh011ages of up to 20% on an average, system-wide basis. SFPUC in cooperation with the members ofthe Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BA WSCA) is preparing a Water Supply and Facilities l\laster Plan for the service area. As a BA WSCA member, Cal Water has been asked to provide 2030 demand projections and to evaluate potential altemative local supplies. For the last two years Cal Water worked with the SFPUC mld BA WSCA in the development of SFPUC's Capital Improvement Plml. This etJ011 has included development of demand projections. Cal Water has reviewed and concurs with SFPUC and BA WSCA 's projected service area population, customer water demmld, conservation program levels and estimates of supply purchases from the SFPUC. TIleir projections are consistent with and are within the range of values contained in Cal Water's SSF Urban Water Management Plml. Copies ofthese conCUlTence statements and the associated values are included in Appendix K of the SSF UWl\IP. TIle water demand projections were developed as patl of a series oftecllllical studies pel101111ed in support of the Capital Improvement Progratll for the SFPUC Regional Water System: SFPUC Wholesale Customer Water Demand Proiections (URS 2004): SFPUC Wholesale Customer Water Conservation Potential (URS 2004): SFPUC Wholesale Customer Recvcled Water 13 Potential (R}'IC 2004): and SFPUC 2030 Purchase Estimates (URS 2004). These technical studies are a pat1 of BA WSCA's Decision Suppol1 System }'Iodel (DSS). Water demand projections obtained tl'om the DSS for the wholesaler were developed using an ""End Use" modeL Two main steps at'e inyolyed in deyeloping atl End Use model: (I) Establishing base year water demand at the end-use leyel (such as toilets, showers) atld calibrating the model to initial conditions: and (2) Forecasting future water dematld based on future demands of existing water seryice accounts and future growth in the number of water seryice accounts. Establishing the base-year water dematld at the end-use leyel is accomplished by breaking down total historical water use for each type of water selyice account (single t:~mily, multibmily, commercial, irrigation, etc.) to specific end uses (such as toilets, bucets, showers, and iITigation). Forecasts of future water demands were made by determining gro\\1h in the number of water selyice accounts in a wholesale customer seryice area. After rates of change were determined, they were input into the model atld applied to those accounts and their end water uses. The DSS model also incorporates the etJects ofthe plumbing and appliance codes on fixtures and appliances including toilets (1.6 gal/Hush), showerheads (2.5 gal/minute), and washing machines (lower water use) on existing and future accounts. 'Vater Quality Historically and presently, Cal water meets all state and federal water quality regulations. TIle well field in the SSF District has treatment t:~cilities for remoyal of iron and manganese ions and blending for nitrates and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The water purchased from SFPUC has trihalomethatle concentrations that can exceed California drinking water standards. To reduce this problem, SFPUC has conyel1ed its disinfection system tl'om free chlorine to chloratllines. Cal Water has also installed ammonia chemical feed equipment at its well field to accomplish chloratllination of well water. TIle well field is penllitted for use only when pumped groundwater is blended with SFPUC water. TIle need for back-up supply is the most imp0l1ant challenge with respect to water quality. 'Vater SuPPlY Proiects Cal \Vater will continue its annual main replacement program to upgrade and improye the distribution system of the SSF District. Storage facilities and new booster pumps will be added as needed to meet the ayerage day and maximum day requirements. Because growth potential is limited, no major new facilities are clll1'ently planned, only replacement of existing facilities. Future capital expenditures are planned for drilling atld developing new wells to replace aging wells cUlTently in operation, which will increase system reliability atld allow Cal Water to pump the full safe yield of the basin. Based on the recommendations of a Water Supply Master Plan prepared by the SFPUC, Cal Water will continue to eyaluate opportunities for the development of additional local water supplies. Cal Water's SSF Water Supply and Facilities Master Plan includes a capital improyements platl and schedule. 14 "'ater Demand l\Ianagement Cal Water is a member of the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). TIle CUWCC was created to increase etlicient water use statewide through partnerships among urban water agencies, public interest organizations, and private entities. The Council's goal is to integrate urban water conservation Best l\Ianagement Practices (Bl\IP) into the planning and management of Califomia's water resources. Implementation of water conservation BMPs will help limit water demand from customers within the SSF District's service area and reduce water supply requirements. TIle Department of Water Resources (DWR), water utilities, environmental orgarlizations and other interested groups collaboratively developed urban BMPs for conserving water and signed a l\Iemorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California (MOU) (amended March 9, 2005) to implement these Bl\IPs. TIle MOU is administered by the CUWCC. As a signatory ofthe MOU, Cal Water has agreed to implement the Bl\IPs as defined in Exhibit I ofthe MOU that are cost beneficial and complete implementation in accordance with the schedule assigned to each BMP. Table 5 presents the Bl\IPs as defined by the l\IOU.

This includes such measures such as mandatory reductions, rationing, and penalties. As shown in Table 6, Cal Water has a four-stage water demand reduction plan comprised of voluntary and mandatory stages. Appnn-al from the CPUC must be obtained prior to implementation of mandatory restrictions. 15 Table 6: SSF District Water Demand Reduction Plan Supply Shortage Stage Demand Reduction Goal Type of Program 1vIinimum Stage 1 10% reduction Voluntary :) - lO~1> Moderate Stage ::! :w~/o reduction Voluntary or tJandatory* 10-20% Severe Stage 3 35~~o reduction Mandatory- 20 - 35~~o Critical Stage 4 50~~o reduction 11mldatory* 35 - 50% * tJandatory = iVlocations TIle following summarizes the actions to be taken during periods when demand reduction is required: Stage I .

'Vater Ri!!hts to the SSF DistJict GrowHlwater Snllllly Cal Water owns the land on which its wells are located in the SSF District. Under state law, the use of percolating groundwater in California is govemed by the doctrine of cOl1'elative rights and reasonable use, which gives the oyerlying propel1y owner a common right to reasonable, beneficial use of the basin supply on the overlying land. Desi!!n, Construction amI Ollemtion of Gateway Business Park 'Vater SUllllly Facilities Cal Water will proyide the deyeloper of Gateway Business Park project with a will serve letter indicating its intention to serve as the ,yater utility for proyiding water seryice. A complete water system includes distribution system, meters, etc. As plmllling mld design proceed further, Cal Water anticipates working closely with the deyeloper, its engineer, the City of South San Frmlcisco, CA Dept of Public Health and any other agencies that may be inyolyed with the approyal of required water supply facilities. Cal Water will reyiew all proposed design drawings and specifications for compliance with state and Cal Water's standards with respect to pipe sizes, yalves, materials, etc. and connection to its existing system Cal Water's SSF District. supported by its engineering, water quality mld customer seryice stall in San Jose, will be responsible for proyiding ongoing local operations and maintenmlce seryices ofthe water system. SB 610 Section 10910 Paragraph (d)(2) requires identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, or water seryice contracts held by the public water system shall be demonstrated by proyiding infollllation related to all ofthe following: (A) Written contracts 01' Pl'OOrOr entitlement to an identified watel' slIm,/l'. Proof of entitlement to use of the wells cited as a major supply source to the District is demonstrated by Cal Water's ownership ofthe propel1y and the wells mld its legal right to use the underlying percolated waters. Proof of entitlement to the use of SFPUC treated water are proyided in the contracts cited in this document between Cal Water and SFPUC and are ayailable for reyiew.

Capital costs for design and constrnction of the water distribution system within the deyelopment site are the responsibility ofthe deyeloper, The deyeloper will also be responsible for per lot assessment fees in accordance with Califomia Public Utility Commission (CPUC) rules to coyer the cost ofthe water supply. Cal Water's SSF District capital improvement program is separate lrom and does not include mlY ofthe costs associated with the design and construction ofthe water system for or within Gateway Business Park Howeyer, upon legal transfer of the completed 17 water system extel1lal to the development site to Cal Water by the developer, the water system will be incorporated into Cal \Vater's capital improvement and maintenance programs. TIle SSF District Water Supply and Facilities l\laster Plan provides specific recommendations for water system facility or capital improvements to the year 2030. It is Cal \Vater's intention to update this plan and recommended capital impn1\'ements every five vem's. Federal, state, and local vermits fiJi' constl'1lction of'necessal'v infi'astl'1lctfll'e associated 11'ith delivering the water sflvvlv, For any distribution system improvements, the developer will be required to obtain the necessary building pennits from the City of South Sml Francisco. It does not appem' that additional storage t:1cilities are needed for this project. Were a storage tank required, Cal Water would be responsible for its design and construction and for obtaining a conditional use permit and building pennit. TIle developer would be responsible for direct reimbursement of those costs to Cal \Vater. Cal Water is highly experienced in preparing applications and obtaining the necessary permits that are needed in order to proceed with design, constmction, startup and operation of water distribution facilities. Cal Water is t:l1niliar with approvals it must obtain from the City of South Sml Francisco and Calitl)l1lia Dept of Public Health. CompaIison of SSF DistIict Snpply amI Demaml Demand and Snlllllv Commllison for a Normal Hvdrolo!!ic Year: Table 7 presents a supply and demmld comparison for normal hydrologic conditions. It demonstrates that the combination of existing groundwater and purchased supplies are adequate to meet forecasted demands for the Gateway Business Pm'k development and those associated with existing Cal Water customers and all other new developments in the SSF District. Active wells in the SSF District have total capacity of \,534 AFY. The SSF District has for the last several years not pumped any groundwater due to Cal Water's pat1icipation in a demonstration study of for a proposed SFPUC in-lieu groundwater storage program. TIle total supply capacity of SSF wells is expected to increase slightly over time as new wells are installed. For the PUlvose of this WSA ,malysis, groundwater supply projections are based on cun'ent well capacity. Based on historical data and future demand projections, contracted treated water deliveries from SFPUC m'e expected to increase by about \,200 AF between 2008 mld 2028 or about 60 AF per year. Therefore, SSF District annual demmld of SFPUC supply in 2028 is 8,496 AFY. Cal Water has an existing supply agreement with SFPUC for a total Supply Assurance Allocation (SAA) for its three peninsula districts equal to 39,765 AFY (35.5 MGD). TIle agreement is due to expire in 2009. It is anticipated by Cal Water that negotiations for and development of a new 25 year supply agreement will be accomplished prior to the expiration of the current agreement. Cal Water's l\lid-Peninsula District (Cities of San Mateo mld San Carlos) 2028 projected use ofSFPUC water is 19,300 AFY. Cal Water's Bear Gulch District (Atherton, 18 pOllions of l\Ienlo Park, POl10la Valley, Woodside, and unincorporated areas in San Mateo County) 2028 projected use of SFPUC water is 12,995 AFY. Hence, total projected SFPUC supply to be used by all three Cal Water peninsula districts is 8,486 + 19,300 + 12,995 = 40,791 AFY or 1,065 AFY more than the Cl1TI'ent SSA amount. Cal Water is pl<UlIling on negotiating in its new SSA an increase of at least 1,065 AFY with SFPUC. But it also has plans to conduct in 2009 an integrated local sources supply plan using its recently completed Water Supply and Facilities Master Plans for all three districts. Included will not only be an integrated assessment of how to sustainably maximize use oflocal groundwater, but also an identification of the most cost etJective and easily implemented sources for recycling, achieving higher <Uld maintainable higher reductions in water demand. Desalination will also be re-ex<uuined. I1lerefore, Cal Water believes it is justified in projecting it ability to meet its 20 ye<u' demand for the SSF District with its forecasted increase of SFPUC supplies, local supplies and/or other improved demand management. Table 7: SSF District Supply Versus Demand (AFY) for Normal Hydrologic Year YEAR: C008 cO 13 C018 ~O~3 ~O28 Total Supply 8,830 9,070 9370 9,690 10,030 A.nnual Ave Day Demand - Normal Year 8.830 9,070 9370 9,690 10,030 Differe-nce 0 0 0 0 0 Demand amI Supplv CompaIisoll for a Sill!!le Drv Year: For a single dry year, Cal Water C<Ul reasonably expect no reduction in SFPUC supplied water based on previous experience. Therefore the total supply available to the SSF District during a single dry year is considered to be the same as for a normal hydrologic ye<u'. The same assumption applies to the amount of groundwater pumped even though Cal \Vater has the pump capacity to e~1ract more water than its average annual pumpage. On the basis that Cal \Vater has a well developed water conservation or demand management program in place and that in 2008 it has been authorized and requested by the Califomia Public Utilities Commission to increase its <UlIlual expenditures for increased implementation and etJectiveness of its demand management practices and that its negotiations for increased supply trom SFUC may result in annual supply amounts equal to the 25 year forecasted average <UlIlual demand, it is reasonable to expect that Table 8 would not be ditJerent than a nOllual year. Cal \Vater will require its customers to use the same amount of water as under nOllual hydrologic conditions. Table 8 ret1ects these assumptions. Table 8: SSF District Supply Versus Demand (AFY) for One Dry Year YEAR. 2008 ~O13 C018 2023 2028 Total Supply 8,830 9,070 9,370 9,690 10,030 AJ1l1ual Ave Day Demand - Dry Year 8,830 9,070 9,370 9,690 10,030 DIfference 0 0 0 0 0 Demand amI Supplv ComJlluisoll for l\Iultiple DrY Years: 19 During the first year, it is expected that demand might be the same as shown in Table 8 for a single dry year, In the second and third years it is expected that demand would be reduced to 90% of normal hydrologic yem' demand (Stage I reductions). In the third and fomlh years of a dry period, it is expected that demand would be reduced to 80% of nOllnal (Stage 2 reduction). If necessary Cal \Vater could implement Stage 3 mandatory reductions to achieve 30% or more of reduction in demmld. During dry year periods, Cal Water will evaluate its prospective supply and determine whether voluntary or mandatory water use restrictions should be implemented to achieve demmld reductions. As previously indicated, SFPUC has advised the utilities it supplies that a 20% reduction is supply is likely in a multiple year dry period. It is also conservatively assumed here that local groundwater supplies due to a reduction in basin storage and a lower of static groundwater level would yield lower output or reduced pumpage. It is assumed that the loss would be about 15% of nOllnal yield. Table 9 presents the supply versus demmld comparison for 4th year of a dry period where SFPUC is 80% of nOllnal and groundwater supply is 85% and demmld is reduced by 20% or is 80% of nOllnaL Table 9: SSF District Supply Versus Demand (AFY) for 4 Year of Multiple Dry Year Period YEAR. 2008 e013 eG18 2023 2028 T ,'tal Supply 7,140 7,330 7,570 7,825 8,100 Annual Aye Day Demand 7,064 7,256 7.496 7,752 8,024 DltIerence +76 +74 +74 +73 +76 Water Supply Assessment Conclusion Based on: I. TIle adequacy of quantity of West Basin groundwater supplies and Cal Water Cl11l'ent and projected use of groundwater pumping from its actiw wells, 2. TIle projected adequacy of future purchased treated surt:~ce supplies (rom SFSPUC, 3. Future Cal Water plans to constmct additional wells to maintain ifnot increase supply capacity, 4. Proven etJectiveness in implementing demand reduction best mmlagement practices during single dry year and multiple dry year conditions, 5. TIle prospect of longer term additional local supplies being obtained from the SFPUC's proposed conjunctive use program for the West Basin, local recycling projects and possibly a regional desalination treatment plant, 6. Historical records demonstrating the adequacy of SSF District supplies during single and multiple dry years to meet demands, 7. Analyses of forecasted demand that indicate achieving significant reductions in demand (20~ (, to 30%) during single and multiple dry years will result in adequacy of supplies, Cal Water's concludes that for the next 20 wars, the SSF District will haw adequate water sUIJDlies to meet proiected demands associated with the proposed planned dewlopment for Gatewav Business Park along with those of all existing customers mld all other mlticipated future users for nOllnaL single drv vear and multiple drv vear conditions. 20 Cal \Vater schedules preparation of plans, designs and constmction of new wells and related distribution and storage t:1cilities so as to increase supply capacity ahead of projected demand growth. This management approach insures adequate supply capacity to accommodate growih eyen during dry weather periods that might result in temporary cutbacks in surt:1ce water deliyeries and declines in the groundwater table level, thereby reducing supply. TIle goal for supply capacity oft:1cilities in SSF District is to accommodate the maximum day demand (1.5 times the ayerage annual day) with sutJicient reserye capacity reserye to pl'lwide for the temporary loss of its single largest capacity welL Implementation Cal Water will proyide the deyeloper of Gateway Business Park with a letter indicating its intention to proyide water seryice after the proposed development is approved by the City of South San Francisco. Cal Water will insure that the required water t:1cilities are designed consistent with the proposed deyelopment plan and will coordinate with the deyeloper, its engineer, the City of South San Frmlcisco, and the California Dept of Public Health in the design, constmction and operation of the proposed water distribution system. Cal Water will insure compliance with state and city standards with respect to pipe sizes, fire t10ws, equipment materials, yalyes, appurtenances and connection to its system. Cal Water's SSF District supported by its engineering, water quality mld customers seryice statJ in San Jose, will be responsible for proyiding ongoing operations and maintenmlce seryices for the constmcted water t:1cilities. 21 End of "'SA Document
