CCSF, acting as lead agency under CEQA, certified a Final Environmental <br />Impact Report (the "FEIR") for the Bay Division Pipeline No.5 Project ("Project") on <br />July 9, 2009. The State Clearinghouse NUlnber for the FEIR is 2006062002. <br /> <br />B. A portion of the Project will be constructed by SFPUC within the City of <br />Redwood City and those construction activities are the subject of the MOA between the <br />City of Redwood City and SFPUC. <br /> <br />C. The FEIR tiers from the Water System Improvement Program ("WSIP") <br />Environmental Impact Report (the "PEIRI!) and incorporates by reference the relevant <br />analysis of the PEIR with respect to the WSIP's impacts and mitigation measures as <br />applicable to this Project. The PEIR was certified by the CCSF on October 30, 2008 and <br />the SFPUC approved the WSIP on the san1e day. The State Clearinghouse Number for <br />the PEIR is 2005092026. <br /> <br />D. The FEIR has been made available for review by the City of Redwood City and <br />the public. The City of Redwood City, as a responsible agency under CEQA, has <br />considered the FEIR for the Project, including the environmental effects of the Project set <br />forth therein by providing comments to the SFPUC on the Draft Environmental EIR <br />("DEIR") for this Project on February 5, 2009. The FEIR and the PEIR are available for <br />public review at the San Francisco Plarming Department offices at 1650 Mission Street, <br />which is the custodian of records.

The FEIR, in compact <br />disk format, is also made available in the Office of the City Clerk. <br /> <br />E. The Project described in the FEIR, will result in significant environmental effects <br />that could not be mitigated to a less than significant level with implementation of <br />lnitigation measures. Because the Project is part of WSIP, it would also contribute to <br />significant and unavoidable effects on the environment identified for the WSIP. <br /> <br />F. On July 14,2009, the SFPUC approved the Project by SFPUC Resolution No. 09-0120 and, in so doing, adopted findings under CEQA, including a statement of overriding <br /> <br />A TTY IRESO/RESO.1977 <br />012110 <br />
