STAFF REPORT for CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 for the MEETING OF: September 14, 2017
STAFF REPORT FOR CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 FOR THE MEETING OF: September 14, 2017 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Adopt rules and regulations for the TJPA’s park on the roof of the transit center, and authorize staff to proceed with requesting proposed amendments to the San Francisco Municipal Code to make TJPA’s park a “park” subject to certain rules and regulations under the Municipal Code. EXPLANATION: The 5.4-acre park and botanical garden on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center (named “Salesforce Park” and referred to herein as “TJPA’s park”) will be a unique open space and amenity in an area of the City with few parks. TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource. -

Changes in abundance and distribution of nesting Double-crested Cormorants Phalacrocorax auritus in the San Francisco Bay area, 1975–2017. Marine Ornithology 47: 127–138. In the San Francisco Bay area, California, the Double-crested Cormorant Phalacrocorax auritus population has recovered from significant declines to reach breeding population sizes comparable to those from the late 19th century, when only one colony offshore at the South Farallon Islands (SFI) was known. -

The CWA 11 provides for the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of 12 the nation’s waters. The CWA emphasizes technology-based (end-of-pipe) control strategies and 13 requires discharge permits to allow use of public resources for waste discharge. The CWA also limits 14 the amount of pollutants that may be discharged and requires wastewater to be treated with the 15 best treatment technology economically achievable regardless of receiving water conditions. The 16 control of pollutant discharges is established through National Pollutant Discharge Elimination 17 System (NPDES) permits that contain effluent limitations and standards. The U.S. Environmental 18 Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated responsibility for implementation of portions of the CWA, 19 such as Sections 303, 401, and 402 (discussed below), to the State Water Resources Control Board 20 (State Water Board) and the associated nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water 21 Boards). 22 Section 303(d) and Total Maximum Daily Loads 23 The State of California adopts water quality standards to protect beneficial uses of waters of the 24 state as required by Section 303(d) of the CWA and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 25 1969 (Porter-Cologne Act). -

A List of the Birds Breeding in San Francisco County, California (With
54 THE CONDOR Vol. XIX yond, told me of the birds. “When they first get here, if there isnt’ a royal battle over those snags ! ” she exclaimed. “Fight? Yes, scream and holler and fight around those trees. I used to set and watch them birds. ” The chip- munks, she said, climbed the stubs and the Swallows drove them off. “I used to like to see them fight a squirrel down,” she said. “Half a dozen would dive right at him and theyd’ put him down in a hurry.” Only one family of Tree Swallows were in possession at the time of my visit and their nest was about twenty feet from the ground on the east side of the stub. Once when I was watching it the gardener warned me not to sit near the stubs when the wind was high for, as she said, “they go over sometimes ” ; but her husband in a tone of superiority remarked that they wouldnt’ fall in my direction as the wind was from the ocean. When after several visits the birds had become somewhat used to me I put my camp stool down at the foot of the stub where the bracken stood above my head, and the Swallows went about their business unmindful even of the white dogs that had accompanied me. The bark had fallen off the stub from the nest hole down, but still held above and made a shading portico for the door. The Swallows in coming to the nest would sail down on set wings. If I did not see them I knew they were approaching by seeing their shadows waver- ing over the shiny gray trunk and the ferns below, and also by the actions of the young which would crane out of the doorway till the sun lit up their three big chirring yellow throats. -
