SB 915 Senate Bill - AMENDED Page 4 of 6 q , D major impact on services existing as of June 30, 1999. A minor impact means an impact that reasonably and potentially diverts less than 15 percent of the passengers using services that were in existence as of June 30, 1999. A major impact means an impact that reasonably and potentially diverts 15 percent or more of the passengers using services that were in existence as of June 30, 1999. If the proposed new service will have a major impact, the authority may not operate a water transit service in that location without mutual agreement between the authority and the notified agency. If the proposed new service will have a minor impact, the authority may initiate service according to the procedures contained in subdivision (e). SEC. 4. Section 66540.22 of the Government Code is amended to read: 66540.22. The San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Implementation and Operations Plan and updates to that plan shall include all of the following: (a) A detailed description of the high -speed water transit system, including, but not limited to, all routes to be operated and terminals to be served during the 10 -year period following funding of the authority. The description may include phasing of the routes to be served and terminals to be constructed. (b) An adopted demand model based upon ridership surveys conducted throughout the region and an updated demand model developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. (c) A water transit demand analysis, based upon the demand model, of the demand forecast and cost - effectiveness for the water transit system as a whole and for each corridor to be served. (d) Architectural design criteria and standards for terminals and landside facilities to meet the performance objectives and operational criteria. The architectural design criteria and standards for terminals shall be developed with input from the community advisory committee and in consultation with local jurisdictions that are prospective hosts of terminals for the water transit system. (e) An intermodal plan to connect water transit services with other modes of transportation and public transit, including, but not limited to, cooperative arrangements with existing public transit services and new intermodal services. The intermodal plan shall be developed with input from the community advisory committee, the technical advisory committee, and existing ground transportation agencies. (f) A feasibility analysis and proposal for the use of new technologies and alternative fuels in marine engines and ground transportation intermodal services, to the extent feasible, to minimize air emission and water pollution impacts from the system operations. The new technologies and alternative fuels studied in the feasibility analysis and proposal for use in marine engines shall include, but need not be limited to, natural gas, 100 percent biodiesel, hybrid solar in combination with electric or wind power, and hybrid solar in combination with both solar and wind power. The analysis shall be conducted in cooperation with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission. (g) A plan for monitoring air emissions and water impacts that is mutually agreed upon by the authority and the entities listed in subdivision (f). (h) Design specifications for vessels, consistent with the architectural design criteria and standards for the terminals and landside facilities and the feasibility analysis to minimize air 1...._ r I .
