Review of the documents concerning these projects can be arranged by calling (415) 575-9025. NOTICE OF EXTENSION OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT COMMENT PERIOD FOR THE FOLLOWING 2008.1396E: Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery (GSR) Project - The San Francisco Planning Department is extending the public comment period for the GSR project’s Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for two weeks. Public comments will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on June 11, 2013. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is proposing to increase water supply reliability during dry years and in emergencies, by increasing water storage in the South Westside Groundwater Basin during wet and normal years for subsequent recapture during dry years. The proposed project consists of the construction and operation of 16 new groundwater production wells and water treatment facilities. The SFPUC is proposing this project in coordination with its partner agencies, including the cities of Daly City and San Bruno, and the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) (collectively referred to as Partner Agencies). During normal and wet years, the Partner Agencies would reduce their groundwater pumping to increase the amount of groundwater in storage through natural recharge during these periods. During dry years, the Partner Agencies and the SFPUC would pump the stored groundwater using 16 new well facilities. This new dry-year water supply would be blended with water from the regional water system, and would thereby increase the available water supply to all regional water system customers. Notice is hereby given to the general public as follows: 1. A DEIR has been prepared by the Planning Department in connection with this project. A copy of the report is available for public review and comment online at: http://tinyurl.com/puccases. CDs and paper copies are also available at the Planning Information Center (PIC) at 1660 Mission Street, 1st Floor, San Francisco. Referenced materials are available for review at the Planning Department's office at 1650 Mission Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, as part of Case File No. 2008.1396E. 2.

The Planning Commission will consider adoption of amendments to the General Plan, including revisions to the Transportation Element and the Downtown Area Plan, any corresponding revisions to the Land Use Index of the General Plan, making environmental findings and findings of consistency with the General Plan and priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1. These General Plan Amendments were originally recommended by the Planning Commission to the Board of Supervisors for the Board’s approval on June 25, 2009 in Resolution 17914. On June 25, 2009 (in Resolution 17912), the Planning Commission certified an environmental impact report (EIR) prepared for the 2009 Bicycle Plan, and (in Resolution 17913), adopted findings pursuant to CEQA, including a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. On January 14, 2013, the California Court of Appeal found that the 2009 Bicycle Plan EIR complied with CEQA but that the findings adopted pursuant to the CEQA in connection with the General Plan Amendments did not adequately set forth the reasons for rejecting as infeasible the alternatives identified in the EIR, and did not adequately discuss several significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated. This action therefore re-adopts the previously adopted General Plan Amendments as described above, with modified environmental findings.

Scott Sanchez Zoning Administrator Planning Department 1650 Mission Street, 4th Floor San Francisco, CA 94103 SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW NOTICE Notice is hereby given to the general public of the following actions under the Environmental Review Process. Review of the documents concerning these projects can be arranged by calling (415) 575-9025. PLANNING COMMISSION NOTICE OF HEARING ON DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE FOLLOWING 2008.1396E, Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is proposing a project to increase water supply reliability during dry years and in emergencies, by increasing water storage in the South Westside Groundwater Basin during wet and normal years for subsequent recapture during dry years. The proposed project consists of the construction and operation of 16 new groundwater production wells and water treatment facilities to recover the stored groundwater. Each well facility would include the construction of a groundwater production well and associated fenced enclosure or treatment building, distribution pipelines to connect the well to the existing regional water system or to the local distribution system, and overhead or underground utility connections. Most well facilities would provide disinfection and additional treatment (i.e., pH adjustment, fluoridation, and/or iron/manganese removal). In addition, the proposed project includes upgrades to the Westlake Pump Station to serve three new well facilities (Sites 2, 3, and 4), including new fluoride, chlorine, and ammonia chemical storage tanks, replaced or upgraded chemical metering pumps, a resized transformer, and up to three new booster pumps to deliver the additional water into the Daly City distribution system, all of which would be located within the existing pump station building. The SFPUC is proposing this project in coordination with its partner agencies, which include the cities of Daly City and San Bruno, and the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) in its South San Francisco service area (collectively referred to as Partner Agencies). The project includes operation of groundwater well facilities at 16 different locations in Daly City, Colma, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, and in unincorporated San Mateo County. The Partner Agencies currently supply potable water to their retail customers through a combination of groundwater from the South Westside Groundwater Basin and purchase of SFPUC surface water. The project would provide supplemental SFPUC surface water to the Partner Agencies during normal and wet years. During normal and wet years, the Partner Agencies would reduce their groundwater pumping by a comparable amount to increase the amount of groundwater in storage through natural recharge during these periods. During normal and wet years, the volume of groundwater in the South Westside Groundwater Basin would increase due to natural recharge and reduced groundwater pumping by the Partner Agencies. During dry years, the Partner Agencies and the SFPUC would pump the stored groundwater using 16 new well facilities. This new dry-year water supply would be blended with water from the regional water system, and would thereby increase the available water supply to all regional water system customers. An Operating Agreement between the SFPUC and its Partner Agencies would guide overall groundwater management and surface water deliveries associated with the proposed project. [ Johnston ] Notice is hereby given to the general public as follows: - A Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) has been prepared by the Planning Department in connection with this project. A copy of the report is available for public review and comment online at: http://tinyurl.com/puccases. CDs and paper copies are also available at the Planning Information Center (PIC) at 1660 Mission Street, 1st Floor, San Francisco. Referenced materials are available for review at the Planning Department's office at 1650 Mission Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, as part of Case File No. 2008.1396E.
- The DEIR found that implementation of the GSR project would result in the following significant environmental effects that could not be mitigated to a less-than-significant level: construction-related land use character, noise, and aesthetics impacts and, potentially, operations-related well interference impacts. The well facility sites contain no known hazardous materials as defined under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
- A public hearing on this draft EIR and other matters has been scheduled by the City Planning Commission for May 16, 2013, in Room 400, City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B.
