The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires an enforceable mitigation monitoring program for projects. CEQA Section 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines 15097(a) require public agencies to adopt a program for monitoring and reporting on the measures required to mitigate or avoid significant environmental impacts identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Under CEQA, the MMRP must be adopted when a public agency makes its findings pursuant to CEQA so that the mitigation requirements can be made conditions of project approval. Consistent with these requirements, this MMRP ensures compliance with all mitigation requirements set forth in the Final EIR that have been determined to be feasible under the CEQA Findings. These measures include, but are not limited to, elements that would be designed into the project and implementation of best management

  • Staff Report
    THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. : 11 SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCY DIVISION: Transit Service BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Approving the Geary Corridor Bus Rapid Transit Project (Geary BRT), adopting findings under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) including adoption of both a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and concurring in the designation of the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA); and authorizing the Director of Transportation to continue to obtain otherwise necessary approvals and carry out the actions to implement the Geary BRT Project. SUMMARY: • The Geary BRT is a proposed, major capital investment to improve transit performance and safety along the Geary corridor. • The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) leads the Geary BRT’s planning and environmental review processes in partnership with the SFMTA, who will be responsible for design, implementation, operations, and maintenance of the Geary BRT. • The Geary BRT has gone through an extensive environmental review process including publication of a Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) in October 2015 and publication of a Final EIR in December 2016. The Final EIS is being finalized separately by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). • On January 5, 2017, the SFCTA Board certified the Final EIR and approved the Hybrid Alternative with modifications to include a Collins Street local stop and a Laguna Rapid stop. On June 27, 2017, in response to feedback from project stakeholders, SFCTA further modified the Geary BRT and the LPA to move the westbound center-to-side running bus lane transition from 27th Avenue to 28th Avenue.

  • What Lies Beneath the Marina?
    What Lies Beneath the Marina? Robert Bardell 1922 Filbert St. San Francisco, CA 94123 (415) 931-7249 [email protected] A version of this article appeared in the Argonaut Vol. 14 No. 2, Winter 2003, and Vol. 15 No. 1, Summer 2004. What Lies Beneath the Marina? If you answered rubble from 1906, you’re certainly in the majority, but this article will prove you’re absolutely wrong. One of San Francisco’s most enduring myths is that rubble from the 1906 earthquake provided landfill for the Marina District. Extreme versions of this tale claim all the rubble was dumped there; others don’t go quite that far, but all agree the Marina was a convenient dumping ground for the “damndest finest ruins.” A large part of the Panama Pacific International Exposition would later stand on this man-made land—a triumphal symbol for a city celebrating its return from the ashes. It’s a nice story, but completely false. Indeed, the truth turns this story on its head: No significant amount of 1906 debris was dumped in the Marina, and no new land was reclaimed from the tidelands of the bay there until 1912, long after the ruins of the old city had been cleared away and a new San Francisco born. I intend to debunk the myth of earthquake rubble in the Marina with a history of Marina landfill, beginning in the years following California’s admission to the Union and ending with the Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915. This history will show that the Marina on April 18, 1906 had changed radically from its virgin state, due almost entirely to the effort and capital of one man, James G.

  • Extension of F-Line Streetcar Service to Fort Mason
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 May 17, 2011 National Park Service Denver Service Center – Transportation Division Attention: F-Line Draft EIS Planning Team Post Office Box 25287 Denver, Colorado 80225-0287 Subject: Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Extension of F-Line Streetcar Service to Fort Mason Center, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, California (CEQ# 20110079) Dear Planning Team: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the F-Line Streetcar Service Extension, published by the National Park Service, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and the Federal Transit Administration. Our review is pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500- 1508) and Section 309 of the Clean Air Act. The SFMTA proposes to extend the San Francisco Municipal Railway F-Market and Wharves Line (F- Line) approximately 0.85 miles west from the intersection of Jefferson and Jones Streets to the west side of Fort Mason Center. The Draft EIS analyzes the environmental impacts of the No Action Alternative 1 and two options for Action Alternative 2: Alternative 2A – North Loop Turnaround, which would locate the streetcar turnaround in the Fort Mason parking lot, and Alternative 2B – South Loop Turnaround, which would locate the turnaround in the Great Meadow. The Draft EIS also analyzes the environmental impacts of 8 to 9 station platforms and upgrades to the historic Fort Mason Tunnel. The EPA supports improving local and regional transit service connections to National Park Service attractions.
