California, acting by and through the State Lands Commission ("STATE"), the City of San
Rafael ("CITY"), and Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E").
RECITALS
1. This Agreement concerns a parcel of real property in the City of San Rafael,
Marin County, referred to throughout this Agreement as the "SUBJECT PARCEL." The
SUBJECT PARCEL is described in Exhibit A and is depicted, for reference purposes only,
on Exhibit D. All exhibits to this Agreement are attached hereto and are incorporated
herein by this reference.
2. The SUBJECT PARCEL comprises two smaller parcels, referred to in this
Agreement as 'TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL" and "GRANTED LANDS PARCEL."
3. The TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL is described in Exhibit B and is shown,
for reference purposes only, on Exhibit D.
4. The GRANTED LANDS PARCEL is described in Exhibit C and is shown, for
reference purposes only, on Exhibit D.
5. Upon its admission to the Union on September 9, 1850, the State of
California, by virtue of its sovereignty, succeeded to title to all tide and submerged lands
within its boundaries, to be held in trust for the people of the State of California for the
purposes of commerce, navigation, fisheries, water -oriented recreation, and other
recognized public trust purposes.
6. The State Lands Commission is vested with all jurisdiction and authority as
to all right, title and interest in those tidelands and submerged lands held in trust by the
2
State, pursuant to Division 6 of the Public Resources Code, including sections 6216, 6301,
6307, and 6357.
7. The State of California, by virtue of the Arkansas Swamp Lands Act of
September 28, 1850, received title from the United States of America to certain swamp and
overflowed lands located within the State's boundaries.
8. Pursuant to the Arkansas Swamp Lands Act and State implementing
statutes, certain lands along San Rafael Creek were included within the perimeter
boundaries of swamp and overflowed land sales. These sales included Marin County
Swamp and Overflowed Survey No. 1, patented on November 12, 1868, to Timothy
Mahon.
9. The State of California, by enactment of Chapter 83, Statutes of 1923, as
amended, granted to CITY, in trust, all tide and submerged lands, whetherfilled or unfilled,
within the boundaries of the CITY, as those boundaries then existed. That statutory grant
conveyed any and all remaining sovereign title interests of the State of California in the
SUBJECT PARCEL, to be held by the CITY in trust subject to the terms of said Statute and
of the common law public trust. The CITY has held title to such lands pursuant to said
statute, as amended, and pursuant to the common law public trust, since that time.
10. The California Legislature enacted Chapter 1742, Statutes of 1971, to provide
a framework for settlement of certain title and boundary problems in the CITY and to
provide for the exchange of certain lands or interests in lands which are located above the
line of mean high tide and which are no longer necessary or useful for commerce,
navigation and fisheries.
3
11. The Legislature, in Section 2 of said Chapter 1742, found and declared that
portions of the lands within San Rafael Creek and Canal, as defined in that Chapter, have
been improved in connection with the development of San Rafael Creek and in the process
of such development have been filled and reclaimed, and are no longer necessary or
useful for commerce, navigation, and fisheries, and are relatively small compared with the
land and waters remaining.
12. Chapter 1742 further authorizes the CITY, with the approval of the STATE,
to settle by agreement, exchange, or quitclaim, any dispute concerning whether or not
particular land within either the present waterway or the granted lands, constitutes land in
private or proprietary ownership by reason of title traceable to a STATE or federal patent
or other valid source, or rather constitutes granted tidelands, title to which is vested in the
CITY. In settlement of such disputes the CITY, with the approval of the STATE, may by
such agreement, exchange orquitclaim, establish boundary orcompromise boundary lines
between the granted salt marsh, tide, and submerged lands and the bordering private or
proprietary lands.
13. San Rafael Creek, as it flowed in the vicinity of the SUBJECT PARCEL on
September 9, 1850, was of the physical and legal character of tide and submerged lands.
14. The STATE and the CITY contend, after substantial title and legal research,
without PG&E agreement as to the contentions or the facts stated in support of them, the
following:
A. The SUBJECT PARCEL included a portion of the bed of San Rafael
Creek, as it last naturally existed, and the Creek was of the physical and
legal character of tide and submerged lands.
4
B. A portion of the SUBJECT PARCEL was included within the perimeter
description of Marin County Swamp and Overflowed Survey No. 1.
C. Any portion of the SUBJECT PARCEL which was included within the
perimeter description of Marin County Swamp and Overflowed Survey No. 1,
and which was below the line of ordinary high water of San Rafael Creek in
its last natural condition, is subject to a sovereign interest held by the CITY
despite its inclusion within said perimeter description.
D. A portion of the SUBJECT PARCEL, due to certain discrepancies and
omissions in the official survey of the township line between Townships 1
and 2 North, Range 6 West, M.D.M., and the court's interpretation of those
discrepancies and omissions in the case of Mahon v. Richardson, 50 Cal.
333 (1875), consists of unsold State-owned land.
15. PG&E contends, after substantial title and legal research, without STATE or
CITY agreement as to the contentions or the facts stated in support of them, the following:
A. The STATE, pursuant to the Arkansas Swamp and Overflowed Lands
Act of 1850 and implementing State statutes, identified and sold a portion of
the SUBJECT PARCEL as Marin County Swamp and Overflowed Survey
No. 1.
B. PG&E is successor in interest to the original patentee(s) of Marin
County Swamp and Overflowed Survey No. 1, with respect to that portion
within the SUBJECT PARCEL, and holds fee simple title thereto,
notwithstanding any discrepancies or omissions in the official survey.
C. PG&E and its predecessors in interest were authorized to reclaim and
5
have reclaimed any tide and submerged lands which may have existed
within the SUBJECT PARCEL pursuant to law and in accordance with law,
and PG&E is entitled to ownership of such lands and does own them, free
of any public trust interest in the CITY or the STATE.
D. PG&E has held uninterrupted record title to the SUBJECT PARCEL
since at least 1922, and is vested with all legal title thereto, free of any
interest in the CITY or the STATE.
16. The TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL has been filled and reclaimed and
removed from the public channels, and is no longer available or useful or reasonably
susceptible of use or required for public trust purposes.
17. A genuine dispute exists between the Parties as to the facts and the law
applicable thereto.
18. A resolution of the Parties' rights, titles and interests in the SUBJECT
PARCEL would require protracted and vigorously disputed litigation of uncertain duration
and outcome if the controversy could not be resolved by settlement.
19. It is in the best interests of the Parties to resolve their differences by
compromise settlement and to avoid the anticipated substantial costs, time requirements
and uncertainties of litigation.
20. In the interest of pursuing settlement, the STATE and the CITY have
conducted a study and evaluation of the title evidence and applicable principles of law, and
the respective legal positions of the Parties to this Agreement, and have determined that:
A. The SUBJECT PARCEL has been subject, over the years, to
6
substantial artificial change including, but not limited to, grading, filling, and
construction of other improvements.
B. As a result of the change outlined in Paragraph (A) above, the true
location, physical character, and boundaries of any tide and submerged
lands within or adjacent to the SUBJECT PARCEL have been rendered very
difficult or impossible to ascertain.
C. The consequent uncertainties about the true location and the
character, both physical and legal, of portions of the SUBJECT PARCEL,
together with uncertainty about the application of the law to those uncertain
facts, are now impeding development of the SUBJECT PARCEL for either
public or private use.
21. The public interest requires that the outstanding title problems be resolved
and forever laid to rest either through lengthy, complex and burdensome litigation, or
through agreement among the affected parties.
22. In order to avoid litigation of uncertain outcome, the Parties have, after
extensive negotiation, and upon advice of counsel, decided that it is in the best interest of
all concerned to resolve this dispute by this Agreement, in which:
A. The CITY, pursuant to Chapter 1742, Statutes of 1971, and acting as
trustee pursuant to the terms of Chapter 83, Statutes of 1923, as amended,
shall quitclaim to PG&E any and all sovereign interests it may hold by virtue
of that statute in the TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL.
B. The STATE shall quitclaim to PG&E any and all of the STATE's rights
in the TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL which were reserved to it by virtue
of its sovereignty pursuant to the terms of Chapter 83, Statutes of 1923, as
amended.
C. PG&E shall grant to the CITY any interest it holds in the GRANTED
LANDS PARCEL, said interest to be held as tide and submerged lands
subject to Chapter 83, Statutes of 1923, as amended, and subject to the
reversionary and supervisory rights of the STATE.
D. PG&E shall grant to the STATE those supervisory and reversionary
rights in the GRANTED LANDS PARCEL described in Exhibit C, reserved to
the State of California by Chapter 83, Statutes of 1923, as amended.
E. PG&E shall contribute the sum of $91,000 (ninety-one thousand
dollars) to a fund administered by the CITY for the acquisition of land or
interests in land along the present San Rafael Canal, which land or interests
in land shall be held as land of the legal character of tide and submerged
land subject to the common law public trust and subject to Chapter 83,
Statutes of 1923, as amended.
23. The STATE and the CITY have determined that the consideration which the
CITY and STATE, acting in their respective trust capacities, are to receive under the terms
of this Agreement, is equal to or exceeds the value of any and all sovereign interest in the
TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL.
9
24. The STATE and the CITY have determined that any and all sovereign interest
in the TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL constitutes a relatively small area when considered
in the context of the reach and width of the entirety of San Rafael Canal and the San Pablo
Bay to which it is tributary.
25. This Agreement will permit the TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL to be
developed for private purposes, as contemplated by Chapter 1742, Statutes of 1971, and
will ultimately provide the CITY with real property interests which will be used for those
public purposes enumerated in Chapter 83, Statutes of 1923, as amended, and the
common law public trust for commerce, navigation, fisheries, water -oriented recreation,
and other recognized public trust purposes.
26. CITY wishes to develop the GRANTED LANDS PARCEL for wetlands
purposes; said development will require the excavation of soils that may contain waste
products. CITY and PG&E jointly want to provide for an allocation of costs that CITY may
incur for disposal of waste products which are characteristic of materials which may have
been released by PG&E or its predecessors in interest.

TERMINATION PARCEL.
6. State Lands Commission Findinos.
The State Lands Commission, by its approval and authorization of the execution of
this Agreement, and upon its Recordation:
A. Finds and declares, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2 of
Chapter 1742 of the Statutes of 1971, that the TRUST TERMINATION
PARCEL has heretofore been improved in connection with the development
of San Rafael, and in the process of such development has been filled and
reclaimed, is no longer below the present line of mean high tide, and is no
longer necessary or useful for commerce, navigation, or fisheries, or for such
uses or trusts as are or have been imposed by the statutory grants of tide
and submerged lands from the State of California to the CITY and is hereby
freed from such statutory and common law trusts.
B. In accordance with Sections 5, 6 and 7 of Chapter 1742 of the
Statutes of 1971, approves this Agreement and the conveyances provided
for herein and approves the conveyance to PG&E of all of the sovereign
right, title and interest of the STATE and CITY in the TRUST TERMINATION
PARCEL.
C. In accordance with Sections 5, 6 and 7 of Chapter 1742, Statutes of
1971, approves the conveyance by the CITY in its trust capacity to PG&E of
all right, title and interest of the CITY held by virtue of Chapter 83, Statutes
of 1923, as amended, in the TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL.
D. Further finds and declares that the consideration to be placed in an
account and to be held in trust by CITY for the purchase of land pursuant to
this Agreement and the real property interests acquired hereunder has a
value equivalent to or exceeding the value of the interests of the STATE and
CITY being conveyed to PG&E in the TRUST TERMINATION PARCEL and
approves the adequacy of the consideration as determined by the CITY and
STATE with respect to the settlement provided for herein, in accordance with
Sections 5, 6, and 7 of Chapter 1742 of the Statutes of 1971.

Canal subject to relocation as provided for herein.

The reason for this is that the application of Section 8.5 would prevent the
settlement of this title dispute which settlement is in the public interest.

PG&E shall pay the sum of $91,000 to the CITY for the purpose of and to spend
according to the procedures set forth in Paragraphs 24 and 25 of this Agreement.

3 The Property is known to contain hazardous substances
4 including benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, lead and
5 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzo(a)pyrene and
6 naphthalene. These substances have been contained by the
7 installation of a slurry wall, a site Cap, a system of
8 groundwater monitoring wells, and a water treatment system. If
9 this containment system were to be damaged by unauthorized
10 excavation, destruction of the groundwater extraction system, or
11 impairment of the groundwater treatment system, occupants of the
22 Property could be exposed to the contained chemical compounds,
13 but the exposure would not likely present significant human
14 health risks.
15 The risk assessment prepared by Harding Lawson Associates
16 ("Final Risk Appraisal, San Rafael Retail Project," dated
17 June 21, 1989 concluded that the pavement and buildirqs
18 associated with the retail
project would mitigate virtually all
19 potential dust emissions from the Property. Volatilization of
20 hazardous substances is not expected to be a significant rou e
21 of exposure, considering that all landscaped areas will be
22 backfil!ed with at least two feet of clean soil and vapor
23 barri�_s and sealants will be used under the buildings tc

13 II. BACKGROUND
14 2.0. Respondent. Respondent, Pacific Gas and Electric
15 Company, 77 Beale Street, San Francisco, California is a
16 California Corporation, and is the legal owner of the property.
17 Respondent is a responsible party and a liable party as defined
18 by Health and Safety Code Sections 25319, 25360, 25323.5 and
19 25385.1(g).
20 2.1. site History.
21 (a) PG&E became Owner of the Site on October 10, 1905 and
22 was the operator of the gas manufacturing facility located on
23 the Site. The San Rafael Plant was a gas manufacturing facility
24 from 1875 until its dismantling in 1960. At the beginning of
25 the plant's manufacturing operations the gas was manufactured by
26 a carbonizing technique using coal as the feed material. Later,
27 in approximately 1902, oil was substituted for coal as the feed

1 material. Disposal of waste residues from the gas manufacturing
2 process in low-lying marsh areas of the Site during this period
3 resulted in contamination of onsite soil and groundwater by
4 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), also known as
5 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
6 (b) Fuel storage facilities were formerly located within
7 the site. A gasoline station formerly located at the southwest
8 corner of Second Street and Lincoln Avenue was leased by PG&E to
9 an independent operator. PG&E fueling facilities were formerly
10 located south of Second Street between Brooks Street and Lindaro
11 Avenue. Two above -ground gasoline tanks and one underground
12 diesel tank owned and operated by PG&E were formerly located
13 centrally in the portion of the Site bounded by Lindaro Avenue,
14 Second Street, Lincoln, Avenue, and the railroad right-of-way.
15 Trace concentrations of gasoline constituents including benzene,
16 toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene have been found in soils in the
17 vicinity of these fueling facilities, and may be intermingled
18 with residues from the gas manufacturing process. In
19 December, 1986, the above -ground and underground tanks from
20 fueling facilities formerly located with the Site were removed,
21 together with surrounding soil containing elevated levels of
22 fuel constituents for offsite disposal at a Class I Landfill.
23 2.2. Hazardous Substances. The Department has determined
24 that there have been releases of hazardous substances at the
25 Site to soil and groundwater. The substances found at the Site
26 are hazardous substances as defined by Health and Safety Code
27 Section 25316. The Department has determined that during

1 development, grading and construction of a retail shopping
2 center on the Site, and during the excavation of utility
3 trenches in the streets adjoining the Site, the potential
4 release of hazardous substances constitutes a threat to the `
5 public health or welfare or to the environment if appropriate J
6 mitigation measures are not taken.
7 2.2.1. Chronology of Sampjj.M Events at the Site
8 (a) From January through May, 1984 PG&E collected soil
9 and groundwater samples at several locations in the Site and in
10 the surrounding area as an assessment of Site conditions. In
11 the course of this investigation 52 boreholes and 15 monitoring
12 wells were installed. Approximately 500 soil samples and 54
13 groundwater samples were analyzed in the course of this
14 investigation. Samples were tested for PNAs, purgeable aromatic
15 hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Four
16 boreholes were tested for heavy metals. The results of this
17 sampling were reported to the Department as "Hazardous Waste
18 Investigation of the San Rafael Service center and Surrounding
19 Company Property", PG&E Department of Engineering Research,
20 May 1984.
21 (b) In April and May, 1965 Canonie Engineers collected
22 soil and groundwater samples at several locations in the Site.
23 21 borehole and 19 monitoring wells were installed, and
24 approximately 230 soil samples and 110 groundwater samples were
25 analyzed in the course of this investigation. Samples were
26 tested for PNAs, halogenated volatile aromatic hydrocarbons, and
27 purgeable aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition 20 samples were

4 Engineers, June, 1985.
5 (c) Between April, 1986 and March, 1989 groundwater
6 samples from 14 deep wells, 16 shallow wells, 2 excavation
7 trenches, and 2 manholes have been collected and analyzed on a
g quarterly basis. The samples have been tested for PNAs and
9 VOCs. The sampling was first done by Canonie Environmental, and
10 after 1987 has been done by McLaren Environmental Engineering.
11 The latest groundwater monitoring report was submitted to the
12 Department and the RWQCB as the "Annual Groundwater Monitoring
13 and Treatment Status Report", prepared by McLaren Environmental
14 Engineering Inc. dated June, 1989.
15 (d) Between October, 1987 and September, 1988, 64 soil
16 satples were collected by Harding Lawson Associates. The
17 samples were from the Site area scheduled for development, the
lg area planned for the realignment of Lindaro Street, in the areas
19 scheduled for traffic light installation, and in San Rafael and
20 Mahoney Creeks. The soils were tested for PNAs and VOCs. The
21 sample results were reported to the Department as "Compilation
22 of Sampling Reports", Harding Lawson Associates, April 10, 1989.
23 (e) In June, 1988 PG&E Technical and Ecological Servicer
24 Unit collected 20 soil samples from the area in and adjoining
25 the Site, which areas are planned to be excavated as part of a
26 utilities undergrounding project, hereinafter referred to as
27 "Trenchinc 'roject". Soils were tested for F!�As and Total

2 January 3, 1985 to the City of San Rafael the Department recited
3 several options which would satisfy the Department's goals in
4 mitigating the conditions present at the Size. One option
5 provided did not involve the removal of contaminated soil.
6 Requirements for this option outlined in the letter were:
7 (1) The development is to be restricted to commercial
8 or office space.
9 (2) The entire area must be covered with buildings,
10 parking, walkways or landscaping to prevent migration of
11 contaminants offsite and exposure to workers.
•
12 (3) Any contaminated soils brought to the surface by
13 construction activities must be properly handled and disposed
14
of.
15
(4) Groundwater monitoring, a notice on the deed, and
16
financial assurance will also be required.

Health Risks of Substances Found at the Site.
(1) Benzene. Benzene is a highly volatile chemical and
is readily absorbed following oral, dermal or inhalation
exposures. Acute exposures to high concentrations of
benzene may result in death following depression of the
central nervous system or fatal disturbances of cardiac
rhythm. Chronic, low-level exposures to benzene can result
in blood disorders such as aplastic anemia and leukemia.
(2) Ethylbenzene. Absorption of ethylbenzene following
inhalation or dermal exposure has been documented.
Inhalation of ethylbenzene results in irritation of the eye,
nose and throat. Higher exposures result in drowsiness,
fatigue and headaches. Liver and kidney damage have been
reported in animals treated with ethylbenzene. Damage to
the heart has been reported in humans occupationally exposed
O
to this compound.
(3) Toluene. Toluene is readily absorbed via the skin,
p ingestion and by inhalation. The major health effect of
toluene is depression of the central nervous system. This
EXHIBIT 4

EXHIBIT 4
is characterized by euphoria, abnormal gait, vomiting,
tachycardia, and respiratory paralysis and death following
very high exposures.
(4) Xylene. Exposure to xylene is usually via skin contact
or by inhalation and this solvent is readily absorbed by
both these routes. Exposure to xylene can result in
dizziness, excitement, flushing of the face, drowsiness,
incoordination, abnormal gait, tremor, confusion, coma,
respiratory depression and cardiac arrhyththmias. In humans
exposed to xylene, damage to the liver and kidneys has also
been reported. Long-term, high level inhalation exposure to
xylene has been reported to cause deafness in animals.
II. Heavy Metals Found in the Soils at the Site
Lead. A significant source of human exposure to lead
comes from lead batteries, lead-based paints and gasoline.
Lead is absorbed fcllowing ingestion, inhalation or dermal
contact with the extent of absorption being influences by
the particular lead compound in question. Lead poisoning in
children is characterized by occasional vomiting,
irritability, abdominal pain, vomiting, convulsions and
coma. With chronic, low-level exposure to lead, learning
deficiencies in young children may be the only measurable
effect of lead intoxication. In older children and adults
the effects of lend may be more subtle and nonspecific with
EXHIBIT 4
Page 2 of 4
EXHIBIT 4
decreased fertility and fatigue as the only signs. Lead has
been reported to cause birth defects in animals.
Concentrations of lead in soils at the Site have been
measured at 130 mg/kq. Following guidelines set by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency in zhe •Superfund Public
Health Assessment Manual" (EPA/540/1-60/ October, 1986) an
acceptable level for lead in the soils of a residential area
is 140 mg/kg.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH9) are a class of
compounds formed during the incomplete combusxion of organic
materials containing carbon and hydrogen. Several hundred
different PAHs have been identified. These include
naphthalene, benzanthracene, benzpyrene, chrysene among many
others. PAHs are highly lipid soluble and, in general, are
probably readily absorbed by all routes of exposure. A most
significant aspect of the PAHs is that several compounds in
this category have been shown to cause cancer in humans or
in experimental animals.
Naphthalene. Naphthalene is absorbed via ingestion,
skin contact and inhalation exposures. Acute poisoning
result✓ in vomiting, headaches, bloody urine, anemia,
-^onvulsions and liver and lung aamage. Chronic, low-level
exposures have been -associated with ocular toxicity,
principally cataracts in experimental animals.

CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD
SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGION
ORDER NO. 85-80
WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR:
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, REDWOOD REGIONAL OFFICE, SAN
RAFAEL, MARIN COUNTY
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San
Francisco Bay Region (hereinafter called the Board) finds that:
1. Pacific Gas and Electric Company, hereinafter called the
discharger, owns a 17 acre site in San Rafael, located at
3rd Street and Brooks Avenue. (See Site Map, Attachment A).
The discharger is a public utility and provides gas and
electric service in northern and central California. The
discharger currently plans to transfer title to the
southeastern portion of the site (approximately 8 acres) to
the City of San Rafael Redevelopment Agency.
2. The discharger has submitted a Report of Waste Discharge,
dated May 30, 1985 and supporting technical reports, dated
August 1984 and April 1985. The reports include ground
water investigation data and contain a remedial action
plan.
3. The site investigations found soil and groundwater
contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and
volatile organics. Some heavy metals, and traces of
polychlorinated biphenyls in low concentrations were also
found on the site. The site was formerly the site of a
coal/gas manufacturing facility that terminated operations
in the early 1950'x. .Lampblack, a waste product of the gas
manufacturing process, had accumulated on the property on
top of thick layers of impermeable bay mud and was
subsequently covered with six feet of fill to provide the
present grade. Although the investigations have indicated
that the contamination is primarily confined to within the
site boundaries, the discharger is presently studying the
extent of contamination outside the boundaries. Lead found
on the site was assumed to be associated with current and
former gasoline stations on the property. These areas also
had gasoline in the soil.
4. The remedial action plan proposed by the discharger
consists of containment of the contaminants located within
the facility boundaries, and an internal groundwater
treatment sy$tem. This plan includes a partial slurry wall
keyed into the older alluvium beneath the bay mud along the
perimeter of'the site and installation of a groundwater
extraction and treatment system. The. groundwater treatment
system will remove the polynuclear aromatic- hydrocarbons by
chemical precilaitatipan and dimentation with alum followed
Vy'granular actvated carbon adsorption,. The treated ground
water will be sc arged to the Central Marin Sanitation
District.
5. The groundwater control and treatment plan as discussed in
Finding 4, appears to be an effective method to mitigate
on-site polluton.
6. The extent of off-site groundwater pollution has not been
defined. The undefined pollution presents a potential
threat to beneficial uses. Additional studies and
monitoring are necessary to define the extent of pollution,
threat to beneficial uses, and alternative remedial
strategies.
7. The Board adopted a revised Water Quality Control Plan
(Basin Plan) for the San Francisco Bay Region on July 21,
1982. The Basin Plan contains water,quality objectives for
San Rafael Creek and San Francisco Bay. The Basin Plan also
contains water quality objectives for groundwater.
S. The beneficial uses of San Rafael Creek and San Francisco
Bay include:
a) Recreation
b) Fish migration and habitat
c) Habitat and resting for water fowl and migratory birds
d) Industrial water supply
e) Esthetic enjoyment
9. Currently. there are no benefical uses of groundwater
• underlying the facility. The potential benef ical uses of
the groundwater may include:
a. Industrial process water supply
b. Industrial service supply
c. Domestic supply
d. Agricultural supply
10. The Board has notified the discharger and interested
agencies and 'Persons of its intent to prescribe waste
discharge requirements for the proposed discharge and has
provided them with an opportunity for a public hearing and
an opportunity to submit their written views and
recommendations.
11. This project constitutes a minor modification to land and
such activity is thereby exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance
with Section 15304 of the Resources Agency Guidelines.
12. The Board, in a public meeting, heard and considered all
comments pertaining to the discharge.
