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 and asking for the staff person indicated.

    NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF EIR

The initial evaluation conducted by the Planning Department determined that the following project(s) may have significant effects on the environment and that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared.

2008.1122E: Project Description - The purpose of the San Francisco Groundwater Supply Project (project) is to provide an average of four million gallons per day (mgd) of groundwater to San Francisco’s municipal water supply. Subsequent to the initial Notice of Preparation (NOP) and scoping period from December 2009 to January 2010, the SFPUC modified the project. As a result, a revised NOP has been prepared to inform you of the following changes to the project:

•    The proposed pipeline alignment between Vicente and Quintara streets has been moved from 40th Avenue to 41st Avenue.
•    Project description information regarding Sunset Reservoir connection point requirements has been clarified.
•    The West of Spreckels Lake and Polo Field well facility alternatives have been removed from the project description.
•    A portion of the pipeline alignment within Golden Gate Park east of 41st Avenue/Chain of Lakes Drive East has been moved from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to Middle Drive West.
Groundwater would be blended with San Francisco’s existing municipal water supply for distribution within San Francisco. The groundwater would be pumped from the North Westside Groundwater Basin, which is located within the larger Westside Groundwater Basin that underlies parts of San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. Facilities required to implement the project, including groundwater production well facilities, would be located on the western side of the city of San Francisco on property owned by the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF), and managed by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) or the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.
Under the project, the SFPUC would construct and operate six potable groundwater production well facilities. Although seven locations are currently under consideration for the groundwater production well facilities, only six facilities would be constructed—two that would be converted from existing irrigation well facilities and four new well facilities. Each facility would include a groundwater production well and a pump station. The SFPUC would also construct a distribution system (including pipelines and connection points) that would connect five of the well facilities to Sunset Reservoir; the sixth well would connect to the existing Lake Merced Pump Station, and would require a short length of distribution piping to make this connection. The project would be implemented in two phases: (1) construction and operation of the four new well facilities to supply an annual average of approximately 2.5 to 3.0 mgd of groundwater; and (2) construction of well facilities required to convert the two existing irrigation well facilities to potable water well facilities and operation of the converted irrigation wells to provide an additional annual average of approximately 1.0 to 1.5 mgd of groundwater. [Johnston]
Notice is hereby given to the general public as follows:

1)    A revised Notice of Preparation of an EIR was published on March 2, 2011, by the Planning Department in connection with this project.

2)        Public comments concerning the scope of the EIR will be accepted from March 2, 2011, to 5:00 p.m. on April 1, 2011.  Mail written comments to the San Francisco Planning Department, Attn. Bill Wycko, Environmental Review Officer, 1650 Mission Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94103.
