Mike was a Chairman of the SWA Group, an International principal planner and designer of this successful story of a new community which, as early Planning and Landscape as 1958, pioneered several planning and urban design maxims that we value today in good Architectural consulting place-making and sustainability.

Surficial Characteristics of the Bay Floor of South San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays, California by John L Chin1 and H
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Surficial characteristics of the bay floor of South San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays, California by John L Chin1 and H. Edward Clifton1 Open-File Report 90-665 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards (or with the North American Stratigraphic Code). Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1 U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California 94025 1990 INTRODUCTION San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary on the Pacific Coast of the United States. Although the hydrology and biology of the bay have been extensively studied, almost no studies have been conducted on the surficial characteristics and composition of the bay floor, and how physical processes both form and modify it into different morphologies. Rubin and McCulloch (1979) conducted such a study in central San Francisco Bay. This study was designed to study the southern and northern parts of the bay in a manner analogous to that of Rubin and McCulloch (1979). Our reconnaissance investigation characterizes the surficial morphology of the bay floor as revealed by side-scan sonar imaging and high-resolution bathymetry and deduces the general nature of sedimentation, bedload sediment transport directions, and areas of deposition versus erosion. Our results should apply to current issues involving sedimentation, dredging, pollution, and the disposal of dredge spoils in the San Francisco Bay system and the highly developed urban areas that border it.

The Bay Plan was prepared by the Commission over a three-year period pursuant to the McAteer-Petris Act of 1965 which established the Commission as a temporary agency to prepare an enforceable plan to guide the future protection and use of San Francisco Bay and its shoreline. In 1969, the Legislature acted upon the Commission’s recommendations in the Bay Plan and revised the McAteer-Petris Act by designating the Commission as the agency responsible for maintaining and carrying out the provisions of the Act and the Bay Plan for the protection of the Bay and its great natural resources and the development of the Bay and shore- line to their highest potential with a minimum of Bay fill.

Ground Broken on New Wastewater Treatment Plant Peninsula City Reaches Milestone in $1 Billion Promise to Protect San Francisco Bay
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, September 4, 2019 Ground Broken on New Wastewater Treatment Plant Peninsula City Reaches Milestone in $1 Billion Promise to Protect San Francisco Bay San Mateo, CA — On Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2019 the City of San Mateo welcomed Representatives Jackie Speier and Anna Eshoo, along with Foster City Mayor Sam Hindi to celebrate the groundbreaking of San Mateo’s new wastewater treatment plant. The plant is the largest component of the Clean Water Program, a $1 billion initiative launched in 2015 to modernize the San Mateo sewer system, a response to a Cease and Desist Order from the State of California mandating a sewer system upgrade to eliminate sewer overflows from entering the San Francisco Bay. Sewer overflows are diluted wastewater that flow onto our streets, through stormwater drains and eventually into the San Francisco Bay. These occurrences pose significant public and environmental health concerns. “These infrastructure improvements are vital to the sustainability and future of San Mateo,” said Mayor Diane Papan, who emceed the event. “We greatly appreciate the advocacy of our council and the support of our Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, as well as congressional representatives Jackie Speier and Anna Eshoo, the encouragement from the EPA and our partners in Foster City, who worked on our behalf to support low-cost funding alternatives for the program.” The new plant will replace an aging plant that saw its last major upgrade in the 1970s. Construction on Phase I of the new plant begins in September 2019. “We are five successful years into the largest upgrade to our sewer facilities,” said Public Works Director Brad Underwood.
