remains precisely as currently proposed, the County will not challenge the project
administratively or judicially based upon &a Declaration.
Once again this does not mean Ihot the County agrees that the project is
consistentwith the Declaration. It simply means the County will cwt be
addressing or pursuing this Issue so long as the project remains as moorings
proposed.
I hope this addresses the concems we have discussed.

This letter responds to annnems on the Hydrology, Gwlogy and Soils section of 1W Dealt FP R

Commend 1. Slgallieam Impacts. Comment notes that the pr jeot is located withen the 100
Yarn flood zone and tluis impacts should be significant.

not Wilt min mnhtlal which would potentially be susecti ihle in sasmia bulges. The DIIIR goes on to
discussthat the Protect is nm emiahnding housing within the Zone, it aL makes plain that We Gry of
San Rafael's municipal ends, which allows for the construction mousulsorisg las incomes within the
100 -year 0walplain, must comply with TEMA remained floodplain ordinances and policies

specifiwlions These discussions and others within the DEM make a solid case that are sigui em,w
threshold IS watered but that the incorpommin and implementation of the recommended senescent
coverage reduces these potentially afgoi0canl Means to a less than sgMfimnst tlnashold.
Comment 2 NAVD vs. NGND. This comment notes that the DRIR uses NGVD vs. NAVD as
the elevation standard and wondms about the methodology of this damn.
Response: It should be stall that the vertical datum eased in the DRIB analysis does not
oflnenethe love] ofsigmficase with regards to flooding impaots. The project evaluation and
its identification of potentially significant impacts do not change whether We Inject uses the
1929 vertical damns or thea 1988 vntical datum. The correction between NGVD and NAVD is
0.815 meters or 2.67 feet on the project site. NAW is grater than NGVD, thus 4.0 NOVD is
6.67 NAVD.

Response: Qncata contacted the Maria funnly flood Control Depanmant m minim about the
owsraft and maintenance responsibility of the levees and pump station At present Olte pump
station and the majority of the levees surrounding the site ate in private ownership and are
maintalnedbytheawvcr. A small section ofthe levels does belong to the family at the tip of the

The potentially significant impact to the site is floating from a levee breach The normal

To standardize environmental site asbraamarts his cownetcul red plate, AS"IM
developed aadtra practius E 1527 for emlromnantal she assessments. The standard
was later revisal at 2000 and again in November 2005; the late revision is doslgnated as
E 1522-05. The rendered services are generally based on the guiddinos and definitions
of due ASTM Madre k 1527 05 (draws ire Isaac), and mnfnn to the genmally accepted
raluitements of the industry.
The goal for this ESA was m klcmiry ienognaed envnnwitened uondinsts; Le., the

Is part orthe implementation plan far WC City's Chains Change Action Plan adopted in
