City Engineer Luck stated that a four inch perforated diameter pipe was part of the leachate system and is pumped into Pump Station No. 12. There is virtually unlimited capacity to receive that leachate, which can be treated without any problems whatsoever. Mayor Gasparini advised that these issues would resurface after the design element of the Specific Plan was proposed, and would be considered by the Integrated Waste Management Board under greater scrutiny than the Council was able to do. In response to Council questions, Kenneth Rodriguez, project architect, described more technical aspects of proposed construction and what safeguards were in place to prevent problems if the cap was penetrated. Mr. Rodriguez described the proposed landscaping which would require minimal irrigation. Councilwoman Steinfeld suggested that at the next hearing, Council discuss establishing an independent Peer Review Committee with residents of the Redwood Shores Homeowners Association, seismic experts from the USGS, private developers, and perhaps the City. MEMO 1/31/95 MIS: HARTNETT/SANFILIPO TO DENY THE APPEAL Vice Mayor Hartnett stated that the issues presented with respect to the appeal were very well presented and to the point; and, the issues were properly raised and dealt with appropriately in the Health Risk Assessment, and for those reasons the appeal should be denied. Councilwoman Steinfeld stated that although the issues in the Health Risk Assessment were addressed, significant other issues remain - traffic, air pollution, seismic activity and potential breaching of the cap. Mayor Gasparini agreed with the previous comments and added that the appeal process was well thought out and helped make the health risk assessment and technical work for it very clear: the issues were being heard loud and clear. MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE. MINUTE ORDER NO. 95-026 City Attorney Schricker advised that Findings would be submitted for Council approval at a future Council meeting.
