Each meeting notice will specify (1) where the meeting is being primarily held physically\, (2) all teleconference locations\, which will be publicly-accessible\, and (3) the ZOOM virtual meeting link. If you would like to comment at the beginning of the meeting or on an item scheduled for public discussion\, you may do so in one of three ways: (1) being present at the primary physical or a teleconference meeting location; (2) emailing comments in advance to public comment until 10 a.m. on the day of the meeting; and (3) participating via ZOOM during the meeting. \nIf you plan to participate through ZOOM\, please use your ZOOM-enabled device and click on the “raise your hand” button\, and then wait to speak until called upon. If you are using a telephone to call into the meeting\, select *6 to unmute your phone and you will then be able to speak. We ask that everyone use the mute button when not speaking. It is also important that you not put your phone on hold. Each speaker may be limited to a maximum of three minutes or less at the discretion of the Chair during the public comment period depending on the volume of persons intending to provide public comment. Any speakers who exceed the time limits or interfere with the meeting may be muted by the Chair. It is strongly recommended that public comments be submitted in writing so they can be distributed to all Commission members in advance of the meeting for review. You are encouraged to submit written comments of any length and detailed information to the staff prior to the meeting at the email address above\, which will be distributed to the Commission members. \nQuestions and Staff Reports\nIf you have any questions concerning an item on the agenda\, would like to receive notice of future hearings\, or access staff reports related to the item\, please contact the staff member whose name\, email address and direct phone number are indicated in parenthesis at the end of the agenda item. \nCampaign Contributions\nState law requires Commissioners to disqualify themselves from voting on any matter if they have received a campaign contribution from an interested party within the past 12 months. If you intend to speak on any hearing item\, please indicate in your testimony if you have made campaign contributions in excess of $250 to any Commissioner within the last year\, and if so\, to which Commissioner(s) you have contributed. Other legal requirements govern contributions by applicants and other interested parties and establish criteria for Commissioner conflicts of interest. Please consult with the staff counsel if you have any questions about the rules that pertain to campaign contributions or conflicts of interest. \nAccess to Meetings\nMeetings are physically held in venues that are accessible to persons with disabilities. If you require special assistance or have technical questions\, please contact staff at least three days prior to the meeting via email. We will attempt to make the virtual meeting accessible via ZOOM accessibility capabilities\, as well.

AGAIN THE \nPROJECT LOCATION IS LOCATED IN \nSUISUN MARSH IN THE EASTERN \nCORNER. THIS IS IN AN \nUNINCORPORATED SOLANO COUNTY \nTOWARDS THE EASTERN EXTENT OF \nBCDC’S JURISDICTION\, JUST \nBORDERED ON THE SOUTH BY \nSACRAMENTO RIVER\, TO THE WEST BY \nHONKER BAY\, AND TO THE NORTHEAST \nBY SPOON BILL CREEK. THE ISLAND \nIS APPROXIMATELY 910 ACRES. THE \nNEAREST PUBLIC BOAT RAMP LAUNCH \nIS ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF SOUTH \nAT THE BITS PITTSBURGH MARINA \nAND THE NEAREST LAND IS \nPRIVATELY MANAGED DUCK CLUB TO \nTHE NORTH VAN SICKLE ISLAND \nACROSS FROM SUNDOWN CREEK. THE \nPROJECT INVOLVES RESTORING TIDAL \nACTION TO 1/3 OF THE ISLAND \nAPPROXIMATELY 362 ACRES ALSO \nENHANCING THE REST OF THE ISLAND \nAPPROXIMATELY 546 ACRES OF \nEXISTING TIDAL MARSH HABITAT AND \nTHE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT IS TO \nBENEFIT FISH SPECIES IT WILL \nFULFILL A PORTION OF THE DWR’S \nMITIGATION REQUIREMENTS. TO \nOTHER NATURAL RESOURCE WILDLIFE \nAGENCIES FOR IMPACTS RESULTING \nFROM THE STATE WATER PROJECT. \nWORK WILL INVOLVE EXCAVATION OF \nSIX PRIMARY INTERIOR CHANNELS \nAND SEVERAL SMALLER CHARTER \nCHANNELS\, FILLING ONE INTERIOR \nCHANNEL AND DISTRIBUTED \nSEDIMENT\, REACHING EXTERIOR \nLEVEES AND REMOVING UP TO FIVE \nWATER CONTROL STRUCTURES AND \nOTHER DEBRIS. THE PROJECT WILL \nALSO REMOVE ONE SUNKEN SHIPPING \nCONTAINER IN SPOON BILL CREEK \nWHICH WILL RESOLVE A 2017 \nENFORCEMENT CASE FOR ITS AHN \nAUTHORIZED PLACEMENT BY THE \nPREVIOUS LANDOWNER. NEXT SLIDE. \nTHE PROJECT INVOLVES FILL IN \nBCDC’S BAY AND MANAGED WETLAND \nJURISDICTIONS. THE PROPOSED \nFILL ACTIVITIES INCLUDE THE USE \nOF EXCAVATED MATERIAL\, TO FILL \nINTERIOR CHANNELS\, TO BACK FILL \nLEVEES AFTER WATER CONTROL \nSTRUCTURES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND \nDISTRIBUTING SEDIMENT THROUGHOUT \nTHE MARSH PLANE TO CREATE \nDYNAMIC TOPOGRAPHY. IN ADDITION \nTHE OLD INFRASTRUCTURE AND \nDEBRIS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE \nBAY AND MANAGED WETLANDS \nINCLUDING SUNKEN SHIPPING \nCONTAINER IN SPOON BILL CREEK. \nIN TOTAL THE PROJECT WILL RESULT \nIN NO NET INCREASE AND FILL WITH \nALL EXCAVATED MATERIAL TO BE \nBENEFICIALLY REUSED ON-SITE AND \nNO IMPORTED FILL MATERIAL \nBROUGHT ON. RESTORATION WILL \nRESULT IN THE CREATION AND \nENHANCEMENT OF TIDAL WETLAND AND \nSUBTIDAL HABITATS\, WHICH WILL \nPROVIDE VALUABLE FOOD WEB \nBENEFITS TO NATIVE AND ENLISTED \nFISH SPECIES\, INCLUDING \nSALMONIDS\, SMELT\, LONG FIN \nSMELT. AND IN THE REGION IN \nADDITION THE PROJECT WILL \nPROVIDE CONNECTIVITY TO THE \nMARSH PLANE WILL IMPROVE WATER \nQUALITY AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL \nECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND BENEFITS. \nNEXT SLIDE. \nDUE TO THE ISLAND’S REMOTE \nLOCATION\, IN ACCESSIBILITY BY \nROAD AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION \nSTATUTES\, ON-SITE PUBLIC ACCESS \nOPPORTUNITIES WERE LIMITED. \nHOWEVER\, THE PROJECT WILL RESULT \nIN THE CREATION OF NEW TIDAL \nCHANNELS\, WHICH WILL BE \nACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA \nSMALL WATERCRAFT. THIS WILL \nINCLUDE APPROXIMATELY THREE \nMILES OF NEW TIDAL CHANNELS\, AND \nTWO AND A HALF MILES OF ENHANCED \nEXISTING TIDAL CHANNELS. THE \nAPPLICANT WILL ALSO INSTALL NEW \nNAVIGATIONAL AND INTERPRETIVE \nSIGNAGE ALONG THESE WATERWAYS. \nIN ADDITION\, THE APPLICANT HAS \nAGREED TO DEVELOP A CULTURAL \nLANDSCAPE AUDIO TOUR\, WHICH MAY \nBE ACCESSED ON-SITE FROM THE \nWATER\, AS WELL AS OFFSITE AS AN \nONLINE ONLY PROGRAM. THIS AUDIO \nTOUR WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ON \nTHE SITE’S UNIQUE HISTORY\, \nINCLUDING ITS FORMER USE AS A \nCONNECTING SPUR FOR THE \nSACRAMENTO RAILROAD\, AS WELL AS \nITS INDIGENOUS GROUPS\, DUCK \nHUNTING\, AND NATIVE WILDLIFE \nSPECIES. FINALLY THE APPLICANT \nWILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE $150\,000 IN \nLIEU FUNDS TO FARTHER DEVELOP \nPUBLIC ACCESS IN SUISUN MARSH. \nTHIS WILL POTENTIALLY BE \nDEDICATED TO THE UPCOMING GOAT \nISLAND TIDAL MARSH RESTORATION \nAND PUBLIC ACCESS IMPROVEMENT \nPROJECT AT RUSH RANCH AND LED BY \nTHE SOLANO LAND TRUST OR OTHER \nSIMILAR PROJECTS IN SUISUN MARSH \nIN THE PROJECT VICINITY. \nTHE PRIMARY ISSUES RAISED BY \nTHIS PROJECT ARE ITS CONSISTENCY \nWITH THE MCATEER-PETRIS ACT AND \nTHE SAN FRANCISCO BAY PLAN\, AND \nTHE SUISUN MARSH PRESERVATION \nACT AND SUISUN MARSH PROTECTION \nPLAN. \nWITH THAT\, I’LL TURN IT OVER TO \nSEAN OF VWR TO PROVIDE FURTHER \nDETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT. \nTHANK YOU. \n>>SPEAKER: GOOD AFTERNOON \nEVERYBODY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? \nALL RIGHT. I HAVE A \nPRESENTATION WE’LL PULL IT UP. \nBEFORE I GET GOING I WANT TO \nACKNOWLEDGE SAM AND THE REST OF \nBCDC STAFF AND TEAM THAT I HAVE \nBEEN WORKING WITH FOR TWO YEARS\, \nTO PROVIDE ME WITH THIS \nOPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT OUR \nPROJECT. WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING \nQUITE SOME CHALLENGES ON THIS \nPROJECT AND I’LL GO OVER OUR \nKIND OF SCHEDULE AND WHERE WE \nARE IN THE PROJECT. OUR \nOPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THIS \nPROJECT PRESENTATION TO \nEVERYBODY IS CRITICAL. I’M \nSEAN\, DEPARTMENT OF WATER \nRESOURCES ON SENIOR \nENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST IN TIDAL \nHABITAT RESTORATION SECTION. \nDOANHA COULDN’T ATTEND IN-PERSON \nI’M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO TO \nTHE NEXT SLIDE. THE FISH \nRESTORATION PROGRAM IS \nRESPONSIBLE FOR RESTORING 8400 \nACRES IN THE SUISUN MARSH AND \nSAN JOAQUIN SACRAMENTO DELTA FOR \nNATIVE FISH SPECIES\, I HAVE A \nMAP UP HERE\, ALL THE GREEN ARE \nSITES THAT HAVE BEEN \nCONSTRUCTED\, THE PURPLE IS A BIT \nOUTSIDE OUR PROGRAM BUT KIND OF \nIN OUR WHEELHOUSE\, YELLOW ARE \nOUR LAST TWO SITES TO BE \nCONSTRUCTED CHIPPS ISLAND\, THE \nONE DOWN THERE IN THE SOUTHERN \nPORTION KIND OF JUST WANT TO \nREITERATE THESE ARE REQUIRED \nPROJECTS WE HAVE TO RESTORE SO \nMUCH ACREAGE IN THE DELTA AND \nMARSH THESE ARE OFFSET \nOPERATIONS OF THE STATE AND \nFEDERAL WATER PROJECTS WE’RE \nGETTING PRETTY CLOSE WE’LL GO \nAHEAD AGAIN. NATIVE FISH — \nLONGER SMELT — WE COVERED THAT. \nNEXT SLIDE. CHIPPS ISLAND ON \nTHE LEFT — IT’S EVERYBODY’S \nLEFT. IT’S MY LEFT. CHIPPS \nISLAND\, THE BLUE SUISUN MARSH\, \nSAM HAD THIS MAP BUT THEN THE \nOTHER SIDE WE HAVE WHERE \nPRIORITY PROJECTS ARE IN CHIPPS \nISLAND FITS INTO THE SUISUN \nMARSH PRIORITY AREA FOR \nRESTORATION. AGAIN\, SAM COVERED \nPRETTY WELL\, OUR PROJECT GOALS \nARE TO BENEFIT NATIVE FISH \nSPECIES WE’RE GOING TO — OUR \nOBJECTIVE ENHANCE HABITAT FOR \nNATIVE FISH SPECIES AND PROVIDE \nCONNECTIVITY TO THE MARSH \nOUTSIDE THE MARSH BY\, AGAIN\, THE \nFISH FOOD MOVING OUT OF THE \nPROJECT SITE. SO\, THAT\, AGAIN\, \nSAME KIND OF THING WE’RE \nREQUIRED TO DO THIS WE HAVE SO \nMANY ACRES AND CHIPPS IS GOING \nTO BE A CRITICAL PN AND ONE OF \nTHE LAST PROJECTS TO BE \nCONSTRUCTED. NEXT SLIDE. THIS \nSLIDE BASICALLY WILL BE HISTORY \nOF CHIPPS ISLAND. CHIPPS ISLAND \nIS THREE DISTINCT PARCELS\, EAST\, \nWEST\, AND NORTH PARCEL. IF IT \nWASN’T CLEAR IN THE SLIDES\, I’LL \nGO INTO\, MOST OF OUR WORK IS \nCONDUCTED IN THE NORTH PARCEL\, \nMANAGED WETLAND FORMER DUCK CLUB \nTHE OTHER PARCELS ARE CURRENTLY \nMUTED TIDAL. WE’RE OPERATING \nTHE NORTH PARCEL AS A MANAGED \nWETLAND AND I’LL GET INTO \nDETAILS OF WORK WE’RE DOING \nRIGHT NOW. OVER HISTORY\, IT WAS \nTIDAL AT ONE POINT AND OWNERS \nBUILT UP LEVEES IT WAS USED FOR \nCATTLE GRAZING\, THERE WAS A \nFERRY THAT RAN TO CHIPPS ISLAND\, \nTHE RAILROAD RAN TO CHIPPS \nISLAND AND DUCK CLUB OPERATIONS \nWERE THE MOST RECENT USE FOR \nCHIPPS ISLAND. AND YOU CAN SEE \nIN THIS FIGURE THE NORTH PARCEL \nIS HEAVILY VEGETATED. NEXT \nSLIDE. \nONE THING I WANTED TO TOUCH ON\, \nTHIS IS A UNIQUE PRESENTLY \nDELIVER METHOD FOR DWR\, OUR \nFIRST CMGC PROCESS. IT’S \nCONTRACT MANAGER GENERAL \nCONTRACTOR. BASICALLY\, WE \nUSUALLY DO A DESIGN BID BUILT \nWHEN IT COMES TO PROJECTS FOR \nTHIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WE KNEW \nIT WAS GOING TO BE CHALLENGING \nWE BROUGHT ON A CONTRACTOR THAT \nWE SELECTED IN EARLY 2023 BACK \nIN SPRING WITH DIXON MARINE \nSERVICES\, WORKING WITH THEM\, WE \nHAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK THROUGH A \nLOT OF CHALLENGES WE WILL BE \nSUCCESSFUL IN THIS PROJECT. WE \nHAVE THREE SEPARATE CONSTRUCTION \nCONTRACTS\, PHASE 2A AND 2B ARE \nJUST MAINTENANCE AND WE HAVE \nBEEN UTILIZING REGIONAL GENERAL \nPERMIT THREE\, A PERMIT THAT \nFALLS UNDER SUISUN MARSH PROGRAM \nMANAGED WETLAND AND DUCK CLUB \nOPERATIONS THEN WE’LL TRANSITION \nTO RESTORATION CONSTRUCTION \nWHICH IS WHY WE’RE HAVING THIS \nPRESENTATION AND GETTING THE \nLAST BIT OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL \nPERMITS IN ORDER TO TRANSITION \nTO THAT RESTORATION CONSTRUCTION \nCONTRACT. AND ONE OF THE ITEMS \nTHAT’S CRITICAL IS THE TIMING OF \nIT ALL\, GETTING THE PERMITS IS \nONE FACTOR THEN IT TAKES \nSOMETIME TO PROCESS CONSTRUCTION \nCONTRACT. WE CAN’T JUST GET THE \nPERMITS AND SAY CONTRACTOR IS \nGOOD TO GO\, YOU HAVE A PROCESS \nTO GET THE CONTRACT THROUGH AND \nWHY PRESENTING ON THIS DATE IS \nHUGELY APPRECIATIVE ON OUR END. \nNEXT SLIDE PLEASE. BY THE WAY \nTHAT LAST FIGURE\, THAT WAS AN \nEXAMPLE OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT \nOUR CONTRACTOR POSSESSES WHICH \nIS KEY IN OUR SELECTION\, THEY \nHAD SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT TO \nHANDLE WETLANDS AND PROJECT \nSITES. THESE TWO PICTURES ARE \nEXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE \nCHALLENGES WE FACE IN OUR \nMAINTENANCE PHASE. WE HAVE SOME \nBREACHES. THIS LOCATION WAS A \nWATER CONTROL STRUCTURE THAT \nFAILED. GENERAL PERMIT THREE IS \nFLEXIBLE BUT IT’S PRETTY \nSPECIFIC ON HOW TO REPAIR THESE \nSITES. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH \nSRCD AND ACTUALLY BCDC TO COME \nUP WITH SOME TEMPORARY REPAIR \nMETHODS THAT FALL UNDER \n[INDISCERNIBLE] RGB THREE IS ONE \nCONSTRUCTION SEASON FOR US\, WE \nWILL BE REMOVING THESE \nRESTORATION\, THE IDEA IS JUST TO \nNOT BE UNDER TIDAL INFLUENCE \nWHILE WE DO INTERIOR \nCONSTRUCTION. NEXT SLIDE. SAM \nBROUGHT UP THIS SLIDE\, THIS IS \nOUR RESTORATION CONSTRUCTION\, \nFOCUS IS NORTH OF US IS WHERE \nOUR RESTORATION DESIGN COMES IN\, \nWE DON’T WANT THE STRAIGHT \nCHANNELS WE WANT MORE CURVATURE \nIN THERE. THE STARTER CHANNELS \nAND IN THE WESTERN PARCEL YOU \nCAN SEE WE’RE GOING TO EXCAVATE \nA SLIGHT NEW CHANNEL THAT’S PART \nOF OUR ENHANCEMENT. YOU SEE \nBREACH 4 AND 5\, THOSE WILL BE \nALSO ENHANCEMENT\, BECAUSE WE’RE \nCONNECTING THE OTHER PARCELS TO \nOUR NORTH PARCEL AND THEN SOME \nWORK IN THE EASTERN PARCEL \nREMOVING WATER CONTROL \nSTRUCTURES. AND SIX I’M GO INTO \nTHAT LATER\, THAT LOCATION IS \nWHERE THE SUNKEN SHIPPING \nCONTAINER IS\, MADE SENSE TO HAVE \nA BREACH ON OUR RESTORATION \nDESIGN THERE AS WELL AND THE \nYELLOW IS FILL WE’RE NOT FILLING \nUP TO UPLAND LEVELS WE’RE GOING \nTO FILL MARSH POINTS WE HAVE \nMORE OF THAT GRADUAL HABITAT FOR \nOTHER SPECIES. NEXT SLIDE. ON \nTHIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHT\, RED \nCIRCLES ARE WATER CONTROL \nSTRUCTURES THAT WE WILL BE \nREMOVING IN SOME PLACES\, WE’LL \nBE BREACHING IN SOME LOCATIONS \nAND OTHER LOCATIONS REMOVING AND \nBACK FILLING. WE HAVE DEBRIS \nLOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN \nLEFT OVER FROM THE FERRY WE’LL \nBE REMOVING THAT THEN KIND OF ON \nTHE TOP KIND OF ZOOMED IN \nPICTURES WE HAVE BUILDINGS THAT \nWERE REMNANT STRUCTURES FROM \nDUCK CLUB OPERATIONS WE’LL BE \nREMOVING THOSE THERE’S AN OLD \nPIECE OF FARMING\, LOOKS LIKE A \nCRANE\, IN THE CORNER THAT’S THE \nLOCATION OF THE SUNKEN SHIPPING \nCONTAINER WE’LL BE REMOVING THAT \nALL IN THE WATERWORKS WINDOW \nNEXT YEAR. STARTING AUGUST 1ST \nMAYBE SEPTEMBER 1ST DEPENDING ON \nOUR ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEYS. NEXT \nSLIDE. OUR DIGITAL ELEVATION \nMODELS\, LIGHT GREEN UP TO DARKER \nGREEN MEAN HIGH WATER MARK LEVEL \nSO ONCE WE RESTORE THE SITE IT \nSHOULD ACT THE WAY WE EXPECT IT \nTO ACT. NEXT SLIDE. THIS FISH \nDATA SO THE STAR IS WHERE CHIPPS \nISLAND IS\, 2021\, AGAIN THIS DATA \nIS USED AND USEFUL TO US TO SEE \nIF THIS SITE IS A GOOD LOCATION \nFOR US. CHIPPS ISLAND IS A NICE \nLOCATION FOR RESTORATION IT’S AT \nTHE EDGE OF THE DELTA\, AND \nPASSAGE WAY FOR MIGRATING FISH \nTHAT WILL POTENTIALLY BE THERE. \nNEXT SLIDE. WE ARE RIGHT AT THE \nEDGE OF THE GREEN BOX IN 2024\, \nHAD TO MOVE THE ALL PERMITS \nRECEIVED LINE A FEW TIMES. BUT \nGOOD NEWS WE GOT WORD FROM THE \nU.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE \nFROM OUR BO\, WE SHOULD BE SEEING \nTHAT BY END OF THE CALENDAR \nYEAR. OUR 404 SHOULD ARE COMING \nA FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT NO \nPRESSURE TO THE FEDERAL \nAGENCIES. THEN WE CAN \nTRANSITION\, NOT GOOD FOR THE \nBCDC TEAM BECAUSE I WASN’T SURE \nWHEN WE WERE GOING TO GET THOSE \nPERMITS BUT AS MUCH YESTERDAY \nWE’RE IN BETTER SHAPE. SO THE \nPLAN WE WERE HOPING TO BE READY \nFOR CONSTRUCTION BY NOW BUT WE \nHAVE HAD SOME DELAYS. SO THE \nPLAN\, I HAVE GOT TO TALK TO THE \nDIVISION OF ENGINEERING TEAM BUT \nONCE WE GET THE CONTRACT READY \nTO ROLL WE CAN START ISSUING A \nWORK ORDER TO OUR CONTRACTOR. \nAS OF RIGHT NOW OUR TAKE-OFF \nDATE WAS MARSH FIRST HAVING A \nSCHEDULE FROM OUR CONTRACTOR \nSHOWS THAT WE WOULD BE PRETTY \nMUCH DONE WITH A CHANNEL \nEXCAVATION ALL THINGS GOING WELL \nABOUT MIDDLE OF JUNE GIVES FLOAT \nTO START WORKING IN THE \nWATERWORKS WINDOW STARTING \nAUGUST 1ST THEN WE HAVE UNTIL \nNOVEMBER 30TH OF 2025 TO WRAP \nTHIS PROJECT UP. AT THE END OF \nTHE WATERWORKS WINDOW WE’RE \nGOING TO BE BREACHING AND \nREMOVING THE WATER CONTROL \nSTRUCTURES ALONG THE EXTERIOR \nISLAND LAST\, SHOULD BE THE \nCONTAINER OF COURSE SOME EFFORT \nTHEN ONCE WE GET CONSTRUCTIVE WE \nWILL TRANSITION TO A CREDITING \nTHE SITE THAT TARGET IS WHAT WE \nNEED THEN BY MARSH 2026 SO WHY \nOUR SCHEDULE IS PRETTY TIGHT. \nWE HAVE A NICE DEADLINE. I \nTHINK I’M FEELING CONFIDENT THE \nCLOSER WE GET TO THE END OF THE \nYEAR HERE. NEXT SLIDE. I WANT \nTO TOUCH ON NEW DWR PROJECTS WE \nTOUCH ON CLIMATE CHANGE \nPOTENTIAL CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS \nFOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WE \nDID MODEL\, LOOK WHAT POTENTIAL \nCLIMATE CHANGE COULD BE AGAIN \nLIKE TO EMPHASIZE THIS IS A \nMITIGATION PROJECT. WE HAVE TO \nDO THESE PROJECTS. THE CHIPPS \nLEVEE IS NOT THE STANDARD FLOOD \nCONTROL LEVEE. IT’S MADE OF \nPRETTY POOR MATERIAL. WHAT THE \nMODELS KIND OF DON’T SHOW IS \nWHAT SOME OF THE WORK WE HAVE \nPUT INTO SINCE OUR MAINTENANCE \nPHASE. WE HAVE RAISED THE LEVEE \nIN SOME LOCATIONS\, WE WILL BE \nCREATING HABITAT TRANSITION \nZONES\, AS WE EXCAVATE THE \nMATERIAL\, IF WE DO NOT USE IT \nFOR FILL\, WE’LL BE SIDE-CASTING\, \nCREATING\, NOT BERMS OR POCKETS \nOR POOLS WHERE TIDAL WATER CAN \nGET CAUGHT SO NICE TRANSITION \nZONES AND HAVING OUR CONTRACTOR \nON BOARD RIGHT NOW\, WE’RE ABLE \nTO SORT THROUGH DISCUSSIONS NOW. \n— IT’S BEEN NICE HAVING THEIR \nINPUT. NEXT SLIDE\, PLEASE. \nYES\, I MISSED THIS. OUR LARGER \nCONCERNS ARE OUR DIRECT IMPACTS \nTO OUR NEIGHBORS. SO\, VAN \nSICKLE\, IT DOES BORDERER OUR \nPROJECT SITE. WE EMPHASIZED \nHEAVILY IN OUR MODELING WHAT \nWILL THE VELOCITIES BE OF OUR \nBREACHES\, WOULD IT IMPACT THEIR \nPROPERTY AT ALL. AND EVERYTHING \nLOOKED PRETTY GOOD. IT’S KIND \nOF HOW WE ANGLE THE BREACHES AND \nHOW WIDE THEY ARE WITH THE \nVELOCITY. NEXT SLIDE. AN \nEXAMPLE\, THIS WENT INTO OUR BCDC \nAPPLICATION ABOUT POTENTIAL \nCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. THIS IS \nTOTAL LEVEL INCREASE 12 INCHES. \nCHIPPS ISLAND THERE IN DOESN’T \nSHAPE WEST PARCEL NOT SO GREAT \nSHAPE AGAIN WHAT WENT INTO OUR \nDESIGN IS THERE WILL BE SEDIMENT \nDISPOSITION OVER TIME WITH THE \nTIDAL ACTION. WE DID NOT — \nTHAT’S KIND OF HARD TO \nANTICIPATE BUT THAT’S PART OF \nOUR PROJECT PLAN AND DESIGN. \nNEXT SLIDE PLEASE. \nI’M GOING TO TRY TO BE BRIEF I \nTHINK I HAVE BEEN TALKING TOO \nLONG ALREADY. ADAPTIVE \nMANAGEMENT ONCE WE CONSTRUCT \nTHIS PROJECT WE WOULD LIKE TO \nDROPOUT MIC AND WALK AWAY BUT WE \nWILL MONITOR 5 TO 10 YEARS ON \nTHE PARAMETERS\, THE SITE WILL BE \nPROTECTED IN PERPETUITY. NEXT \nSLIDE I’LL GO OVER PARAMETERS. \nSOME OF THE ITEMS WE’LL BE \nMONITORING. DID WE CONSTRUCT \nTHE PROJECT AS DESIGNED\, IS IT \nWORKING AS WE ANTICIPATED\, ARE \nWE SEEING THOSE IMPACTS OR \nBENEFITS THAT WE WANTED TO FOR \nTHE NOT ONLY NATIVE FISH SPECIES \nBUT ARE OTHER NATIVE FISH \nSPECIES BENEFITTING FROM OUR \nPROJECT AND IF THERE ARE \nCHALLENGES OR ISSUES COMING UP \nHOW DO WE USE THAT INFORMATION \nTO CORRECT ACTION. \nNEXT SLIDE PLEASE. \nSO\, AGAIN\, THESE ARE SOME OF THE \nMETRICS. I WOULD RATHER NOT GO \nINTO ALL OF THEM BUT WE’RE GOING \nTO LOOK AT THE HYDROLOGIC \nPROCESSES\, TIDAL REGIME\, WATER \nQUALITY\, FOOD WEB PRODUCTIVITY \nARE WE PRODUCING THE FOOD THIS \nWE ANTICIPATE TO PRODUCE\, \nWETLANDS AND VEGETATION\, I THINK \nONE ITEM I WANT TO POINT OUT IS \nINVASIVE PLANTS. THEY ARE \nALWAYS A PROBLEM. THEY WILL \nCONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM AND \nTHEY’RE A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW AND \nPART OF OUR MAINTENANCE APPROACH \nIS TO MANAGE — WE HAVE \nPHRAGMITES ON OUR SITE OUR \nMAINTENANCE IS TRYING TO MANAGE\, \nONCE WE OPEN UP THE TIDAL \nINFLUENCE\, IT BECOMES MORE \nCHALLENGING TO MANAGE THOSE \nSPECIES. IT’S SOMETHING WE SEE \nON OUR OTHER PROJECTS AND ARE \nLEARNING A LOT MORE AS WE GO. \nTHEN [INDISCERNIBLE] HARVEST \nMOUSE HABITAT\, JUST OTHER \nMONITORING. WE WON’T BE \nTRAPPING FOR MICE BUT WE WILL BE \nASSESSING THEIR HABITAT THERE SO \nWE COULD ASSUME PRESENCE IF SO. \nNEXT SLIDE. \nPUBLIC ACCESS\, APPROXIMATELY SIX \nWE WILL BE OPENING UP NEW \nNAVIGABLE WATERWAYS FOR OUR \nPROJECT WE’RE GOING TO BE \nPROTECTING THE SITE IN \nPERPETUITY THERE IS NO \nDEVELOPMENT THERE IS NO — \nPEOPLE CAN’T LIKE DOCK THEIR \nBOAT AND WALK AROUND. THEY WILL \nHAVE TO STICK TO THE WATERWAYS\, \nTHEN KIND OF WHAT ELSE — WE’RE \nGOING TO PROVIDE CULTURAL \nLANDSCAPE AUDIO TOUR. THIS \nISN’T IN MY WHEEL HOUSE\, WE WILL \nHAVE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS\, SO \nYOU PULL OUT YOUR SMART PHONE \nAND IT WILL TAKE YOU ON YOUR \nJOURNEY. WE’LL HAVE SIGNAGE\, \nTHIS SITE WILL BE PROTECTED IN \nPERPETUITY AND THEN IN LIEU \nFUNDS TOWARDS OTHER SUISUN MARSH \nPROJECTS. NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS \nA FUN LITTLE GRAPHIC THAT EMMA \nPUT TOGETHER. NAVY LAUNCH \nPITTSBURGH IT IS THE CLOSEST \nBOAST LAUNCH AREA\, HOP OVER TO \nTHE SOUTH LANDING OF CHIPPS \nWHERE THE FERRY WOULD HAVE \nLANDED. [INDISCERNIBLE] THERE \n— I’M NOT SURE IF WE’LL HAVE QR \nCODES AT EACH STATION. THEN YOU \nKIND OF POP AROUND. WE’RE \nWORKING CLOSELY WITH NATIVE \nAMERICAN TRIBES THAN INTERESTED \nIN OUR PROJECT AND WE’LL WORK \nCLOSELY WITH OUR TRIBAL LIAISON \nOFFICE. WE’LL WORK CLOSELY TO \nPROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR \nNATIVE AMERICAN BACKGROUNDS. \nAGAIN\, I WOULD ASSUME\, UP THE \nEASTERN SIDE OF CHIPPS\, UP NEAR \nSPOON BILL SLOUGH WHERE OUR \nLANDING IS THAT’S WHERE THE \nRAILROAD BERM CROSSES CHIPPS \nISLAND\, SOME INFORMATION ON OLD \nRAILROAD TRACK ACROSS CHIPPS\, \nVAN SICKLE UP NORTH TOWARDS \nSACRAMENTO. THEN IF YOU’RE \nSTILL HUNGRY FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE \nYOU GO UP CHIPPS SPOONVILLE \nSLOUGH THERE AND YOU CAN GET \nSOME INFORMATION. I MEAN IT’S \nGOING TO BE OUR PROJECT \nSPECIFICALLY RESTORATION IN THE \nMARSH AND DELTA. DON’T KNOW IF \nWE FIGURED THAT OUT\, JUST \nRESTORATION IN THE MARSH IN \nGENERAL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. \nTHIS IS PUBLIC ACCESS ONLINE \nLINKS. YOU CAN SEE OUR PAST \nPROJECTS UP THERE\, AND IMAGINE \nONCE CHIPPS UP AND ROLLING\, YOU \nWILL SEE THAT UP THERE. NEXT \nSLIDE PLEASE. \nQUESTIONS? \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nGOOD. THANK YOU. WE’RE GOING \nTO NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING \nAND THE FIRST THING THAT WE CAN \nDO IS ASK COMMISSIONERS IF THEY \nHAVE CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FOR \nEITHER SEAN OR SAM. \nANYBODY IN THE ROOM? \nCOMMISSIONER SHOWALTER? \n>>PATRICIA SHOWALTER: I WAS \nWONDERING ABOUT YOUR ADAPTIVE \nMANAGEMENT PLAN. IT SOUNDS LIKE \nA GREAT PROJECT. WHAT’S THE \nPROCESS FOR YOUR ADAPTIVE \nMANAGEMENT PLAN? DO YOU HAVE \nCIVIC CONFERENCES YOU HAVE? — \nYOU RUN? OR WILL THIS BE DONE \nEVERY OTHER YEAR? WHAT’S THE \nIDEA? \n>>SPEAKER: YEAH\, SO ONCE WE \nFINISH OUR CONSTRUCTION\, THIS \nWILL BE SOMETHING LIKE WE HAVE\, \nALL OF OUR SITES CURRENTLY HAVE \nPROJECT MANAGERS THAT MANAGE THE \nSITE AFTER CONSTRUCTION. AND \nIT’S NOT JUST — SOMETHING LIKE \nONCE A YEAR WE’LL BE GOING OFF \nTO THE SITE. I SEE EMMA JUMPED \nON\, SHE MIGHT HAVE MORE ON IT. \nWE WILL BE VISITING THE SITE AS \nOFTEN AS POSSIBLE. WE DO WORK \nWELL WITH CDFW\, THEY DO A LOT OF \nLOWER TROPHIC SAMPLING. THEY \nVISIT THE SITE MORE OFTEN THAN \nWE MIGHT. THEY LET US KNOW IF \nTHERE IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE \nAWARE OF THEN WE DO WORK IN THE \nADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT. THE \nWORKING GROUP TEAM\, MAYBE EMMA \nWANT’S TO CHIME IN. DON’T MEAN \nTO PUT ON YOU THE SPOT\, EMMA. \n>>SPEAKER: THAT’S FINE. WE \nHAVE 11 DIFFERENT RESTORATION \nPROJECTS AND WE HAVE STACY \nSHERMAN IS OUR LEAD UNDER CDFW \nSO SHE BASICALLY RUNS THE \nADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT\, ITS PLAN \nFOR TEN YEARS FROM CONSTRUCTION \nAND TEN YEARS OUT. THERE ARE \nSEASONAL\, SO TYPICALLY SPRING \nAND FALL SAMPLING OF FISH\, MACRO \nINVERTEBRATES\, PHYTOPLANKTON\, A \nWHOLE RANGE OF ZOO PLANK TON. \nALSO PUT OUT CONTINUOUS \nMONITORING\, COLLECTIONS\, AND \nWATER QUALITY PARAMETERS\, AT \nLEAST ONE IF NOT MORE AT CHIPPS \nISLAND SPECIFICALLY THEN ALSO \nHAVE REFERENCE SITES TO BE ABLE \nTO COMPARE HOW OUR RESTORATION \nPROJECTS ARE DOING OVER TIME AS \nCOMPARED TO REFERENCE WETLANDS \nNEARBY. COMPARE ACROSS \nDIFFERENT SITES TO DETERMINE HOW \nTIDAL PROJECTS ARE DOING \nTHROUGHOUT THE OVERALL AREA. \n>>PATRICIA SHOWALTER: THANK \nYOU. I FOUND OVER TIME THAT \nSTUDYING ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT AND \nFOLLOWING UP IS VALUABLE FOR \nMAKING SURE THAT WE LEARN HOW TO \nDO RESTORATION BETTER. SO I’M \nGLAD TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE SUCH A \nWELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN. THAT’S \nGREAT. THANK YOU. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: PAT\, \nI ALMOST DIDN’T SEE COMMISSIONER \nNELSON’S HAND BECAUSE YOUR \nEARRINGS HAVE BEEN DAZZLING ME. \n[LAUGHTER] \nCOMMISSIONER NELSON? \n>>BARRY NELSON: NOW MY \nEARRINGS. THREE QUESTIONS FOR \nTHE APPLICANT. FIRST IS ABOUT \nTHE FISH SAMPLING DATA. THIS IS \nA GREAT LOCATION FOR TIDAL MARSH \nRESTORATION FOR A HOST OF \nSPECIES. BUT I WAS CURIOUS \nABOUT THE FISH SAMPLING DATA \nTHAT YOU SHOWED. I DIDN’T SEE \nTHE LOCATION FOR THAT JUVENILE \nSAMPLING DATA WAS IT RIGHT AT \nCHIPPS ISLAND? \n>>SPEAKER: I BELIEVE SO. EMMA? \n>>SPEAKER: I KNOW WE HAVE A \nREFERENCE SITE AROUND BROWNS \nISLAND WHERE THE FISH SAMPLING \nTOOK PLACE\, OR CLOSE MIGHT RIGHT \nOUTSIDE OF THE RIVER OF THE \nSLOUGH. \n>>BARRY NELSON: I WAS JUST \nCURIOUS ABOUT THAT. TWO \nQUESTIONS\, PUBLIC ACCESS\, FIRST \nI WAS SURPRISED TO SEE FIVE AND \nA HALF TO SIX MILES OF POTENTIAL \nACCESS FOR SMALL CRAFT. I WAS \nWONDERING IF YOU COULD WALK US \nTHROUGH THAT. WHEN I LOOKED AT \nTHE MAPS IN THE REPORT IT WASN’T \nOBSTACLE WHERE THOSE FIVE AND A \nHALF TO SIX MILES WOULD BE \nLOCATED. AND IF IT’S EITHER \nEXISTING OR NEW CHANNELS\, IF YOU \nCOULD GIVE US A SENSE OF THE \nSIZE OF THESE CHANNELS. ARE \nTHESE SMALL CHANNELS FOR KAYAKS? \nARE THEY CHANNELS THAT LARGER \nCRAFT COULD GET THROUGH? \n>>SPEAKER: YES THE SMALLER \nSTARTER CHANNELS THOSE ARE GOING \nTO BE 15 TO 20 FEET WIDE AND 20 \nTO 30 FEET LONG. SO PRETTY \nSMALL\, BUT AGAIN THE POINT OF \nTHOSE WE’RE HOPING TO START THE \nCHANNELS AND ONCE WE RETURN THE \nSITE TO NATURE THE WATER KIND OF \nTAKES OVER. THE LARGER CHANNELS \nOUR BREACHES KIND OF VARY FROM \nSIZE. AND THOSE ARE THE \nCHANNELS THAT WERE\, LIKE\, THE \nDARK BLUE IN THE MAP. SOME OF \nTHOSE BREACHES ARE GOING TO BE \n55 FEET WIDE SO WE’RE TALKING \nABOUT SMALL CRAFT THAT CAN GET \nIN THERE. SOME OF THOSE ARE \nGOING TO BE LARGER\, THE CHANNELS \nARE ALL VARIED IN WIDTH\, LOOKING \nAT 20 TO 30 FEET WIDE AND THE \nLENGTH IS LIKE THAT LONG CHANNEL \nTHAT RUNS ALONG SPOON BILL WHERE \nWE’RE FILLING. A LOT OF \nDIFFERENT CHANNELS MADE UP OF \nONE LONGER CHANNEL. SO YEAH \nTHAT’S LIKE ONE\, CHANNEL 1\, 2\, \n3\, AND SO THAT YOU — THOSE ARE \nALL THE NEW CHANNELS\, ALL THE \nEXISTING CHANNELS ARE KIND OF \nLIKE THE WHITE ON THE MAP. \n>>BARRY NELSON: I SEE. \n>>SPEAKER: WE’RE TYING BREACHES \nINTO EXISTING CHANNELS WHERE \nWE’RE NOT EXCAVATING NEW \nCHANNELS. AGAIN THE NORTH \nPARCEL IS THE FOCAL POINT OF \nRESTORATION AND THE OTHER TWO \nPARCELS ARE ENHANCEMENT WHERE \nWE’RE KIND OF TYING THE WHOLE \nSITE TOGETHER. \n>>BARRY NELSON: FINAL QUESTION \nIS — AND MAYBE THIS IS FOR \nSTAFF\, AS WELL AS FOR YOU\, THIS \nIS A GREAT AREA FOR SMALL CRAFT \nFOR PADDLING\, BUT I’M A PRETTY \nDEDICATED PADDLER\, AND I HAVE \nNEVER BEEN OUT TO CHIPPS ISLAND \nBECAUSE YOU EITHER HAVE TO \nPADDLE ALL THE WAY OUT TO \nSUISUN\, IF I’M REMEMBERING \nCORRECTLY\, MAKE THE CROSSING \nFROM PITTSBURGH PADDLE ALL THE \nWAY FROM SUISUN CITY WHICH IS A \nLONG PADDLE AT MONTEZUMA TO GET \nDOWN THERE. I ALSO WONDERED IF \nTHE SUISUN MARSH COMMISSION OR \nWATERWAYS OR BCDC STAFF HAVE \nEVER LOOKED INTO WHETHER THERE’S \nA POSSIBLE LOCATION FOR ANOTHER \nBOAT RAMP IN SUISUN MARSH \nBECAUSE PUBLIC ACCESS FOR PADDLE \nCRAFT IN MOST OF THE MARSH IS \nNOW EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. \n>>SPEAKER: YEAH\, AT LEAST ON \nOUR SIDE\, AND\, AGAIN\, IF EMMA \nHAS ANYTHING TO ADD. LIKE\, AND \nTHAT WAS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES\, \nWE REALIZE PUBLIC ACCESS EVEN \nJUST GETTING TO THE SITE FOR \nRESTORATION\, YOU NEED A BOAT\, \nYOU NEED A BARGE\, YOU NEED A LOT \nOF ITEMS TO GET THERE\, YOU CAN’T \nJUST ROLL UP WITH A TRAILER AND \nTHAT WAS ONE OF THE ITEMS\, LIKE\, \nWE DO HAVE THE CLOSEST NEIGHBOR \nTHIS’S VAN SICKLE\, PRIVATE LAND. \nYOU’RE RIGHT SUISUN CITY MIGHT \nBE THE CLOSEST LAUNCHING POINT. \nPITTSBURGH IS CLOSE BUT BEING \nOUT THERE\, IN THIS PROJECT IT \nLOOKS FEASIBLE TO LAUNCH A CRAFT \nFROM PITTSBURGH THAT’S WHAT I \nWOULD CAUTION ESPECIALLY NOT \nEVERY DAY IS CALM AS SOME OF THE \nLAST DAYS HAVE BEEN OUT THERE\, \nMINUS THIS PAST WEEKEND\, AND I \nTHINK EMMA TO HER CREDIT\, I’M \nDRAWING A PLANK ON THIS\, LIKE A \nBOAT OR — NOT DAY USE BUT IT \nWAS LIKE A PATH FOR CRAFT WE \nWERE THINKING WE COULD GET \nCHIPPS ON THAT BUT IT’S \nCHALLENGING FOR KAYAKERS IT’S A \nTOUGH SPOT. \n>>BARRY NELSON: NOTE FOR STAFF \nI DON’T EXPECT WE’RE NECESSARILY \nGOING TO SOLVE THAT IF THIS \nPROJECT BUT PROJECTS IN SUISUN \nMARSH YOU KNOW THERE ARE PARCELS \nLIKE RUSH RANCH WHERE THERE \nMIGHT BE SOME POTENTIAL DOWN THE \nROAD\, NOT TOO FAR AWAY SOMETHING \nFOR STAFF TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE \nPUBLIC ACCESS BY IT SHOULD BE \nWONDERFUL PLACE TO BE ON THE \nWATER. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nASHLEY DID YOU WANT TO SAY \nSOMETHING ABOUT PUBLIC ACCESS. \n>>ASHLEY TOMERLIN: I’M THE \nDESIGN ANALYST AT BCDC WE WORK \nON THE PUBLIC ACCESS WE ARE \nCONTINUE JUMP TRYING AND \nCONTINUED PURSUIT TO GET PUBLIC \nACCESS ESPECIALLY BOAT ACCESS IN \nTHE MARSH IT’S COMPLEX BECAUSE \nMOST OF THE PROJECTS ARE COMING \nARE IN RESTORATION PROJECTS THAT \nHAVE HABITAT CREDIT SO IT’S \nWILDLIFE PUBLIC ACCESS \nCOMPATIBILITY QUESTION\, RUSH \nRANCH WE HAVE A CURRENT PROJECT \nGOING THROUGH\, EXPLORING THE \nIDEA BOAT LAUNCH THERE IS \nMONTEZUMA DAY USE AREA THAT HAS \nHISTORICALLY HAD A BOAT LAUNCH \nIT WAS DAMAGED IN THE STORM \nPURSUING GETTING THAT \nRE-ESTABLISHED IT’S AN ONGOING \nEFFORT TO GET ADDITIONAL BOAT \nACCESS OUT THERE. WE’RE TRYING. \n>>BARRY NELSON: APPRECIATE IT. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: PAT? \n>>PAT ECKLUND: I WANTED TO SAY \nTHAT HAVING WORKED FOR THE ARMY \nCORP AND US EPA FOR OVER 43 \nYEARS I’M VERY FAMILIAR BUT I’M \nNOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE \nCHIPPS ISLAND AND CHALLENGES \nTHAT ARE THERE. THIS IS AN \nINCREDIBLE MULTI-AGENCY \nCOORDINATION PROJECT THAT YOU \nHAVE LED WITH THE DIFFERENT \nPERMITS\, I WANT TO COMPLIMENT \nTHE WHOLE TEAM AT DWR AND ALSO \nTHE TEAM AT BCDC THERE IS ALWAYS \nA STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE APPLICANT \nAND REGULATORY AGENCY TRYING TO \nGET MORE PUBLIC ACCESS AND A BIT \nMORE EFFORTS. LIKE ONE OF THE \nQUESTIONS THAT I HAD IS THAT ONE \nPART OF THE REPORT SAID THAT NOT \nALL OF THE FILL IS GOING TO BE \nUSED\, WE’RE GOING TO PUT IT IN \nANOTHER LOCATION TO USE IT IN \nTHE FUTURE. BUT IS SOMEONE \nGOING TO MONITOR THAT? SO\, I \nHAVE THOSE KIND OF QUESTIONS. \nBUT THAT — THAT’S NOT AS \nIMPORTANT AS SOME OF MY OTHERS. \nBUT COULD YOU GO TO YOUR SLIDE \nEIGHT? AND I REALLY WANT YOU TO \nHELP ME UNDERSTAND\, WHAT AM I \nLOOKING AT ON THE LOWER \nRIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THAT? AND \nIT’S THE ONE — IT JUST SAYS \nSLIDE EIGHT. AND IT DOESN’T \nHAVE ANY LANE OLE IT AT ALL \nWHICH WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING \nMYSELF. IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S A \nCONCRETE AREA. OR IT’S A — \nWITH THE — \n>>SPEAKER: OH. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: IT’S SLIDE \nEIGHT. \n>>SPEAKER: THE BREACH AND \nSOMETHING — \n>>PAT ECKLUND: THAT’S IT RIGHT \nTHERE. LOWER RIGHT. \n>>SPEAKER: IT’S A WATER \nBARRIER. SO\, BASICALLY IT’S A \nBRAND\, AND I GUESS I COULD GIVE \nSOME SHOUT OUT TO THE COMPANY\, \nIT’S AN AQUA DAM. IN G P3 HOW \nYOU GENERALLY REPAIR LEVEES \nUNDER PERMIT YOU TAKE NATIVE \nFILL THEN BORROW FROM PITS YOU \nPLACE THEM IN THE LOCATION\, I \nWENT OUT TO DESIGN THE BUILDING \nSO THIS IS HOW YOU’RE GOING TO \nREPAIR IT THEY WOULD LAUGH SO \nTHERE’S NO WAY MATERIAL IS GOING \nTO STAY IN THIS LOCATION\, WITH \nBCDC AND RCD ALL THE OTHER \nAGENCIES — BREACH THE LOCATION \nBECAUSE IN OUR RESTORATION \nDESIGN. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: SO YOU’RE GOING \nTO BREACH THE AREA. \n>>SPEAKER: WE’RE GOING TO\, \nYEAH. KIND OF CLARIFICATION HOW \nIN OUR CASE WORK WITH THE \nAGENCIES TO GIVE US A YEAR TO 16 \nMONTHS\, DOUBLE TRIPLE HANDLE \nMATERIAL THAT GETS KIND OF \nCOSTLY\, HOW MUCH MATERIAL\, ARE \nWE GOING TO LOSE TO THE \nCONDITIONS AND SO FORTH THOSE \nHAVE BEEN WORKING OUT WELL BUT \nEVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE THREE \nBRIDGE LOCATIONS WE HAVE USED \nTEMPORARY MATERIALS AND WE WILL \nREMOVE ALL OUR RESTORATION \nCONSTRUCTION. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: WELL OVERALL \nQUESTION I HAVE TOO IS WHEN I \nSTARTED REALIZING THAT THERE IS \nA LOT OF CONTAINER SHIPS\, WHAT \nARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THOSE \nMETAL THINGS OR CONCRETE OR \nWHATEVER IT IS. WHAT ARE YOU \nGOING TO DO WITH THEM? TAKE \nTHEM TO A RECYCLING FACILITY? \n>>SPEAKER: WE CAN. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: WE CAN. BUT YOU \nHAVE ACTUALLY CALCULATED OR \nIDENTIFIED WHAT CAN BE AND WHAT \nCAN’T BE? BECAUSE SOME OF THE \nSHIPPING CONTAINERS COULD HAVE \nSOME HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN IT. \n>>SPEAKER: THAT’S WHAT WE’RE \nINVESTIGATING. INVESTIGATIONS \nON IF THERE IS ASBESTOS AND \nLEAD. WE HAVE DONE \nINVESTIGATIONS ON THAT AND IF \nONE OF THE BUILDINGS COME UP \nPOSITIVE FOR BOTH THAT’S ONE OF \nTHE BEAUTIES OF CMGC AS WELL. \nWE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND WE \nHAVE NEGOTIATIONS\, WE HAVE TO \nIDENTIFY THE ISSUE\, WE HAVE \nASBESTOS TAKES A QUALIFIED \nINDIVIDUAL REMOVE THAT OVERSEE \nIT THEN KIND OF TALK ABOUT COST\, \nRECYCLING IS A GREAT OPTION IF \nWE CAN\, I THINK THAT WE HAVE\, IS \nTHE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS\, THAT \nGOES INTO OUR CONSTRUCTION \nCONTRACT. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: WHICH REGULATORY \nAGENCY IS GOING TO MANAGE THAT \nASPECT. \n>>SPEAKER: OUR FILL. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: YOU’RE GOING TO \nBE TAKING MATERIALS OUT AND WHAT \nARE YOU DOING WITH IT IS THERE A \nREGULATORY AGENCY THAT’S GOING \nMONITOR THAT? \n>>SPEAKER: I DON’T KNOW IF \nTHERE IS NECESSARILY AN AGENCY \nOR REGULATORY BODY THAT — \n>>PAT ECKLUND: THERE ISN’T? \n>>SPEAKER: WELL\, THE COUNTY\, I \nIMAGINE. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: OKAY WELL WE’LL \nHAVE TO HAVE SOME DISCUSSION \nABOUT THAT THEN. BECAUSE TAKING \nTHESE THINGS ALL TO THE \nLANDFILLS THE LANDFILLS YOU KNOW \nARE RIGHT ALONG THE BAY MOST OF \nTHEM ARE AND THEY’RE FILLING UP \nAND THAT’S REALLY IN MY OPINION \nNOT THE BEST THING TO DO GIVEN \nTHE CHALLENGE WE HAVE AS A \nCOMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT \nWHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO WITH OUR \nWASTE AND THAT’S WHY I’M A BIG \nPUSH FOR RECYCLING EVEN IF YOU \nHAVE TO MITIGATE SOME OF THE \nHAZARDOUS MATERIALS. ANYWAY \nTHAT’S A DISCUSSION — AN ISSUE \nFOR DISCUSSION LATER. \nSO\, CAN — I GUESS THE QUESTION \nFOR BCDC K WE REQUIRE SOME\, SORT \nOF\, A REUSE FOR THESE TYPES OF \nMATERIALS THAT ARE GOING TO BE \nREMOVED TO HELP MITIGATE THE \nIMPACT TO THE ENVIRONMENT? SO\, \nGREG\, IS THAT — YOU’RE OUR \nATTORNEY. I DON’T KNOW IF EP \nBCDC HAS ANY AUTHORITY OR IS \nTHAT SOMETHING THAT US EPA NEEDS \nGET INVOLVED WITH OR WHAT? \n>>GREG SCHARFF: I’M NOT SURE TO \nBE HONEST. I DON’T KNOW IF \nANYONE ELSE — YEAH\, WE CAN LOOK \nINTO IT. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nMAYBE WE CAN GET BACK TO \nCOMMISSIONER ECKLUND ABOUT THAT. \n>>GREG SCHARFF: SURE. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nTHANK YOU. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: YEAH. IT’S \nSOMETHING THAT I FEEL VERY \nSTRONGLY ABOUT. AND LET’S SEE\, \nYEAH\, YOU SAID OTHER EXISTING \nFEATURES\, INCLUDING BUILDINGS\, \nABANDONED SHELTER-IN-PLACING \nCONTAINERS AND BUILDINGS AND \nEQUIPMENT ALL OF THAT IS GOING \nTO BE REMOVED. \n>>SPEAKER: REMOVING ALL \nMAN-MADE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE \nISLAND. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: THAT’S ANY TO \nTAKE PLACE. \n>>SPEAKER: I’LL NOTE THE \nSTANDARD CONDITION IS TO HAVE IT \nREMOVED OUT OF BCDC JURISDICTION \nBUT USUALLY PERMITS ARE AGNOSTIC \nON THE LOCATION OUTSIDE OF BCDC \nJURISDICTION IN THE PROCESS. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: REALLY BCDC MAY \nNOT BE DOING — WELL\, I JUST \nTHINK THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT \nTHIS HOLISTICALLY\, IF IT \nGENERATES FROM THE BCDC AREA WE \nSHOULD HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY \nON WHERE IT GOES IT’S\, SORT OF\, \nLIKE IF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS \nWE HIRE A CONTRACTOR WE’LL JUST \nGET IT OUT OF THE CITY OF \nNOVATO. I DON’T CARE. \n>>GREG SCHARFF: COMMISSIONER \nECKLUND\, I WANT TO CLARIFY BCDC \nWOULD HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY WE \nMIGHT HAVE REGULATORY AUTHORITY \nTO REQUIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO DO \nSOMETHING. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: THAT’S WHAT I \nMEANT. \n>>GREG SCHARFF: WANT TO CLARIFY \nBECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE \nRESPONSIBILITY TO MOVE ITEMS TO \nBE RECYCLED OR SENT TO LANDFILL \nOR SOMETHING. I JUST WANT TO \nGIVE YOU — WE HAVEN’T BEEN \nDOING THAT AT BCDC AND DIDN’T \nWANT TO JUST GIVE YOU — YES\, WE \nCAN DO IT OR NO WE CAN’T — WE \nDON’T — I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT \nABOUT IT AND I’M NOT SURE STAFF \nHAS EITHER BEEN DOING GOING IN \nTHAT DIRECTION — \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: THIS \nIS SOMETHING YOU CAN LOOK INTO \nAND GIVE US MORE INFORMATION. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: ON PAGE 15 STAFF \nREPORT TALKS ABOUT WATER CONTROL \nSTRUCTURES THAT ARE GOING TO BE \nREMOVED. ALONG WITH THE DEBRIS \nAND SUNKEN SHIPPING CONTAINER \nWHAT ARE THOSE STRUCTURES MADE \nOF? \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nTHAT’S ALONG THE LINES OF THE \nSAME — \n>>PAT ECKLUND: IN THE STAFF \nREPORT SHOULD IDENTIFY A LITTLE \nBIT MORE SPECIFICS I GUESS IN \nTHE FUTURE IF ANYBODY KNOWS. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: IF \nANYBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER? \n>>SPEAKER: SOME ARE CORRUGATED \nMETAL PLASTIC PIPES FLAT GATES \nTHAT MIGHT BE MORE METAL \nPLASTIC\, I DON’T THINK WE HAVE \nANY CONCRETE — [INDISCERNIBLE] \n>>PAT ECKLUND: LAST TWO \nQUESTIONS WHAT IS GOING TO BE \nTHE REPORTING AND TO BCDC ON HOW \nTHEY’RE PROGRESSING THROUGHOUT \nTHE PROJECT AND WHAT ARE WE \nGOING TO BE ACTUALLY DOING SOME \nINSPECTIONS ON SITE TO SEE HOW \nTHE MATERIAL IS BEING HANDLED? \n>>SPEAKER: JULIE — \n>>PAT ECKLUND: YOU MIGHT WANT \nTO PULL THAT DOWN. \n>>SPEAKER: JULIE GUERIN\, \nRESOURCES PROGRAM MANAGER THE \nREPORTING THEY’RE DOING\, WITH \nTHREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF \nMONITORING THEY WILL BE \nSUBMITTING AN ANNUAL MONITORING \nREPORT TO US WE REVIEW AND MAKE \nSURE THEY’RE ON TRACK\, IF WE \nHAVE THOUGHTS OR CONCERNS\, NEXT \nSTEPS ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT \nSOMEHOW THEY’RE NOT MEETING \nCRITERIA WE WOULD HAVE \nCONVERSATION. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: TYPICAL ANNUAL \nREPORTING ON A PROJECT LIKE \nTHIS? \n>>SPEAKER: YES. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: AT SOME POINT\, I \nWOULD LIKE TO HAVE DISCUSSION \nESPECIALLY ON A PROJECT LIKE \nTHIS IT’S A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME \nBECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY DO THE WORK \nUNTIL NOVEMBER. \n>>SPEAKER: THIS IS AFTER THE \nCONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE FOR \nRESTORATION THEY DO THE \nMONITORING AFTER THAT WE DON’T \nDO ANY INSPECTIONS ON SITE \nOURSELVES. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: THANK YOU. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: ANY \nOTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE \nCLARIFYING QUESTIONS OR \nCOMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: ALL \nRIGHT. THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM \nFOUR THE CHAIR’S REPORT. FIRST\, \nWITH RESPECT TO THE REGIONAL \nSHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN\, CHAIR \nWASSERMAN HAS ASKED ME\, AND I \nTOTALLY JOIN IN THE THANKS THAT \nWE WANT TO PROVIDE TO ALL THE \nCOMMISSIONERS AND THE ALTERNATES \nWHO WERE — PARTICIPATED IN OUR \nVERY THOROUGH DISCUSSIONS AT OUR \nLAST COMMISSION MEETING\, WE KNOW \nTHAT THE MEETING RAN LONG\, AND \nIT DIDN’T — AND WE DIDN’T HAVE \nTIME THEN TO THANK EACH AND \nEVERYONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE \nPARTICIPATED IN THIS \nEXTRAORDINARY EFFORT\, IN \nPARTICULAR THE STAFF AND ALL THE \nWORK THAT THEY DID. SO WE \nWANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TODAY TO \nEXTEND THOSE THANKS. JUST AN \nAMAZING EFFORT. \nCHAIR WASSERMAN\, I’M SURE WOULD \nSHARE EVERYTHING THAT ANYBODY \nWILL WANT TO ADD TO THOSE \nCOMMENTS TODAY. \nWITH RESPECT TO THE RICHMOND SAN \nRAFAEL BRIDGE\, I KNOW EVERYONE \nHAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF \nE-MAILS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF \nQUESTIONS ABOUT WHEN THIS IS \nGOING TO GET RESOLVED. SO\, WE \nHAVE A PLAN\, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF \nISSUES THAT CHAIR WASSERMAN AND \nTHE STAFF HAVE PUT TOGETHER\, TO \nHOLD A WORKSHOP ON THIS TOPIC \nDURING OUR JANUARY 16TH MEETING. \nSO\, IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN THAT \nWORKSHOP\, YOU SHOULD BE SURE TO \nATTEND THAT MEETING. THERE WILL \nBE NO VOTES SCHEDULED ON THE \nMATTER ON THE 16th\, BECAUSE THE \nPURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP IS TO \nHEAR FROM OUR STAFF\, TO HEAR \nFROM SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS\, TO \nHEAR FROM THE MTC \nREPRESENTATIVES AND OTHERS ABOUT \nTHE PROPOSAL AND TO HELP THE \nCOMMISSIONERS ASK QUESTIONS \nABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND PROVIDE \nTHEIR THOUGHTS\, AND ALSO TO GET \nTHE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE ITS \nCOMMENTS\, AS WELL. \nTHE WORKSHOP IS GOING TO PRODUCE \nTHE KIND OF INFORMATION THAT OUR \nSTAFF NEEDS TO ANALYZE THE \nPROPOSAL\, TO BRING IT TO THE \nCOMMISSION FOR A DECISION SOON \nTHEREAFTER\, AND AS SUCH\, CHAIR \nWASSERMAN AND I STRONGLY URGE \nTHE COMMISSIONERS AND ALTERNATES \nTO ATTEND THAT WORKSHOP \nIN-PERSON IF THEY CAN\, AND BOTH \nCOMMISSIONERS AND ALTERNATES CAN \nATTEND THE WORKSHOP\, BOTH THE \nCOMMISSIONERS AND THEIR \nALTERNATES. WHILE THE \nPRESENTATIONS WILL BE BROADCAST \nAS PART OF THIS HYBRID SYSTEM \nTHAT WE HAVE\, THE SMALL GROUP \nDISCUSSIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE \nMODERATED BY BCDC STAFF WON’T \nBE. SO\, WE ENCOURAGE ALL OF TO \nYOU PARTICIPATE IN-PERSON\, SO \nTHAT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN \nTHOSE SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS \nAND HEAR THEM. \nSO\, THE COMMISSION IS NOT GOING \nTO BE VOTING\, AGAIN\, ON THE \nBRIDGE PROPOSAL ON JANUARY 16TH\, \nBUT WE WILL HAVE THIS WORKSHOP\, \nWHICH WILL MOVE US ALONG. \nMY PENULTIMATE ITEM ON MY \nCHAIR’S REPORT IS TO TALK ABOUT \nOUR THREE RETIRING \nCOMMISSIONERS. TWO OF WHOM ARE \nHERE IN THE ROOM. I DON’T KNOW \nIF SUPERVISOR SUSAN GORIN WAS \nABLE TO JOIN US. IT DOESN’T \nLOOK LIKE IT\, SIERRA SAID. BUT \nSUPERVISOR PESKIN OF SAN \nFRANCISCO AND SUPERVISOR DAVE \nBINE OF SAN MATEO ARE ATTENDING \nTHEIR LAST COMMISSION MEETING. \nAT LEAST UNTIL SOMETHING ELSE \nHAPPENS. \n[LAUGHTER] \nI KNOW THAT MANY OF US WOULD \nLIKE TO THANK THEM IN-PERSON FOR \nTHEIR SERVICE\, BUT CHAIR \nWASSERMAN HAS ASKED THAT WE PLAY \nA RECORDING THAT HE HAS MADE FOR \nTHE TWO OF YOU — SUPERVISOR \nGORIN. SO\, IF WE COULD HEAR \nCHAIR WASSERMAN’S RECORDING. \nTHERE HE IS. \n>>SPEAKER: PERFECT. \n>>CLERK\, SIERRA PETERSON: \nAPOLOGIES.

BUT \nGETTING TO KNOW THESE THREE \nSUPERVISORS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. \nAARON PESKIN WAS MY SUPERVISOR \nWHEN I WAS LIVING IN SAN \nFRANCISCO AND ACTUALLY MET HIM \nAT A COMMUNITY MEETING RIGHT ON \nOUR BLOCK I FEEL LIKE I HAVE \nKNOWN DAVE FOR A LOT LONGER THAN \n12 YEARS\, AND SUSAN GORIN\, OUR \nFAMILY KEEPS A SMALL HOME IN \nSONOMA VALLEY AND I OCCASIONALLY \nBUMP INTO HER IN SONOMA\, SO \nTHESE FRIENDSHIPS\, AS THEY ARE\, \nYOU KNOW\, THE WORLD IS SMALL\, \nAND I’VE REALLY ENJOYED BEING A \nPART OF THIS BECAUSE OF THE \nCALIBER OF THESE PEOPLE. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nCOMMISSIONER NELSON? \n>>BARRY NELSON: I JUST WANT TO \nADD MY THOUGHTS ON BEHALF OF\, IN \nADDITION TO THE OTHER \nCOMMISSIONERS\, FOR ALL THREE OF \nTHESE COMMISSIONERS WHO IN ROLES \nAS SUPERVISORS HAVE BEEN REAL \nLEADERS IN TERMS OF PUBLIC \nSERVICE IN PARTICULAR LEADERSHIP \nON BAY ISSUES AND HEALTH OF THE \nBAY\, SEA LEVEL RISE\, PUBLIC \nACCESS\, AND A WHOLE HOST OF \nOTHER ISSUES.

I’M SORRY THAT \nI CANNOT BE THERE WITH YOU \nIN-PERSON TO RECOGNIZE AND \nCELEBRATE THE SERVICE OF THREE \nTRUE REGIONAL STEWARDS WHO ARE \nLEAVING THE COMMISSION. TODAY \nIS THEIR LAST MEETING. SUSAN \nGORIN\, AARON PESKIN\, DAVID P ARE \nALL OUTSTANDING REGIONAL \nSTEWARDS\, REGIONAL STEWARDS ARE \nLEADERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THE \nLONG-TERM WELL-BEING OF PLACES \nTHEY ARE INTEGRATORS WHO CROSS \nBOUNDARIES OF JURISDICTION\, \nSECTOR AND DISCIPLINE TO ADDRESS \nCOMPLEX REGIONAL ISSUES SUCH AS \nSPRAWL\, EQUITY\, EDUCATION\, \nECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT\, AND OF \nCOURSE RISING SEA LEVELS.

HE WAS APPOINTED TO \nTHE COASTAL — CALIFORNIA \nCOASTAL COMMISSION IN 2017\, AS \nWELL\, REPRESENTING THE NORTH AND \nCENTRAL COASTS. \nAND HE HAS BEEN A VERY ACTIVE \nMEMBER OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY \nRESTORATION AUTHORITY.

ARE THOSE \nGOING TO BE ATTENDED BY THE \nPUBLIC. \n>>LARRY GOLDZBAND: THE \nDISCUSSIONS THEMSELVES ARE NOT \nGOING TO BE\, BUT THE PUBLIC WILL \nBE INVITED AND GIVE COMMENT. \nBUT THEY WON’T BE PART OF THE \nTABLES THEMSELVES. \n>>PAT ECKLUND: OKAY. \n>>V. CHAIR\, REBECCA EISEN: \nOKAY. WELL\, THAT LEADS US INTO \nTHE REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE \nDIRECTOR. \n>>LARRY GOLDZBAND: THANK YOU \nVERY MUCH CHAIR EISEN. HISTORY \nDOES PROVIDE US WITH INTERESTING \nCOINCIDENCES\, FOR EXAMPLE\, ON \nTHIS DATE IN 1154\, HENRY THE \nSECOND WAS CROWNED AS KING OF \nENGLAND. YOU REMEMBER FROM YOUR \nHISTORY BOOKS THAT HENRY WAS AN \nADVENTURER WHO FOUGHT HAS WAY \nINTO THE CROWN BUT IN THE EARLY \nPERIOD OF MODERN ENGLISH HISTORY \nTHE COUNTRY WAS FAR FROM \nUNIFIED. HENRY’S GREATEST \nACHIEVEMENT WAS TO CREATE THE \nBEGINNINGS OF ENGLISH COMMON LAW \nWHICH HELPED INSPIRE CONFIDENCE \nAND CONSISTENCY WITHIN A NATION \nSYSTEM OF JUSTICE. I MENTION \nHENRY BECAUSE HE WAS THE SUBJECT \nOF THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS FILMS \nOF ALL-TIME\, “THE LION IN \nWINTER” THE CHRISTMAS COURT LATE \nIN HIS REIN AND RELATIONSHIP \nBETWEEN HENRY AND ELEANOR\, IN \nPRISON FOR TEN YEARS EARLIER FOR \nSUPPORTING REVOLT AGAINST HENRY \nTHREE SONS JEFFREY RICHARD AND \nKATHARINE HEPBURN WON THE \nACADEMY AWARD. ON THIS DATE IN \n1776 THOMAS PANE PUBLISHED THE \nFIRST IN A SERIES OF PAMPHLETS \nTHAT HE SIGNED AS COMMON SENSE \nIN WHICH HE STARTED TO LAY OUT \nHIS CASE AGAINST THE ENGLISH \nRULE CONTAINED IN THE ENGLISH \nCOMMON LAW THE FIRST PAMPHLET \nREMEMBERED THESE ARE THE TIMES \nTHE SOULS AND SUMMER SOLDIER \nSUNSHINE PATRIOT IN THIS CRISIS \nSHRINK FROM SERVICE OF HIS \nCOUNTRY BUT HE THAT STANDS NOW \nDESERVES THE LOVE AND THANKS OF \nMAN AND WOMAN. WHILE I WOULD \nMOST CERTAINLY NOT CHARACTERIZE \nBCDC’S CURRENT EXISTENCE AS IT’S \nWITHIN SUCH TROUBLED TIMES\, AT \nLEAST NOT YET\, I WANT TO THANK \nALL OF OUR COMMISSIONERS FOR \nSTRENGTH THEY DEMONSTRATE DAILY \nAS THEY PERFORM THEIR PUBLIC \nDUTIES\, ESPECIALLY OUR RETIRING \nCOMMISSIONERS\, AARON PESKIN\, \nDAVE PINE\, AND SUSAN GORIN. \nOUR COMMISSIONERS\, ALTERNATES \nAND ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS MERIT \nOUR APPRECIATION FOR THEIR \nDEVOTION TO BCDC AND THEIR \nWILLINGNESS TO DEBATE AND CRAFT \nMEANINGFUL AND SOMETIMES \nCONTROVERSIAL DECISIONS AND IN A \nCOUPLE OF MINUTES I’LL DESCRIBE \nONE OF THOSE TIMES. \nWITH REGARD TO BUDGET I WANT TO \nGIVE YOU A REPORT ON BCDC’S \nBUDGET SITUATION WHICH IS \nNEITHER FRAUGHT NOR GRINCH LIKE \nBUT MERITS YOUR ATTENTION. YOU \nREMEMBER THE STATE FACED A \nBUDGET DEFICIT OF AROUND \n$38 BILLION WHEN THE BUDGET WAS \nENACTED IN LATE JUNE. IN THE \nBUDGET\, THE GOVERNOR PROPOSED \nTHE LEGISLATURE APPROVE THE \nELIMINATION OF 10\,000 VACANT \nCIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS AND THE \nREDUCTION OF GENERAL FUND AND \nOTHER AND SPENDING BY EACH STATE \nORGANIZATION OF ABOUT 8%. THE \nDEPARTMENT OF FINANCE\, HOWEVER\, \nIS CONTINUING TO WORK THROUGH \nTHESE NUMBERS EVEN AS THE FISCAL \nYEAR IS ALMOST HALF DONE. WE \nEXPECT THAT WE WILL RECEIVE \nFINAL BUDGET REDUCTION TARGETS \nPRIOR TO THE END OF THIS \nCALENDAR YEAR IF THE GOOD LORD \nBE WILLING. \nHOW WILL THIS AFFECT BCDC? \nFIRST\, THE NEWSOM ADMINISTRATION \nHAS STATED THAT NO LAYOFFS ARE \nTO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THIS \nDEFICIT REDUCTION PROPOSAL. FOR \nBCDC WE EXPECT WE’LL BE ABLE TO \nMEET BUDGET REDUCTION TARGETS BY \nLIMITING\, ELIMINATING JUST ABOUT \nALL WHAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED \nDISCRETIONARY SPENDING\, SUCH AS \nTRAVEL AND NON-MANDATORY \nTRAINING. JUST AS IMPORTANT\, \nHOWEVER\, WE ANTICIPATE THAT IT \nWILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL \nANY VACANCIES THAT HAVE OCCURRED \nTHIS YEAR. WE HAVE SIX \nVACANCIES AT THIS POINT\, WHICH \nIS MORE THAN 10% OF OUR TOTAL \nSTAFF COUNT. FIVE OF THOSE \nVACANCIES EXIST IN REGULATORY \nAND PLANNING. WE WILL NOT FILL \nTHEM UNTIL WE RECEIVE FILE \nNUMBERS FROM FINANCE REGARDING \nOUR CURRENT YEAR BUDGET. \nI HAVE DECIDED TO FILL OUR ONE \nVACANT COMPLIANCE POSITION\, BOTH \nBECAUSE I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT \nOUR ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANCE \nTEAMS NEED TO BE AT FULL \nSTRENGTH AND BECAUSE THAT \nPOSITION IS PAID THROUGH OUR BAY \nFILL AND ABATEMENT FUND AS \nOPPOSED TO THE GENERAL FUND. \nI CERTAINLY HOPE THAT I CAN \nPROVIDE YOU MORE SPECIFICS AT \nOUR JANUARY 16TH COMMISSION \nMEETING. YOU HAVE PROBABLY \nNOTICED THAT WE DID NOT PROVIDE \nYOU WITH OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED \nOCTOBER BUDGET BRIEFING THAT \nDESCRIBES BOTH OUR PREVIOUS \nYEARS AND EXISTING YEARS’ \nBUDGETS. I HOPE WE CAN DO THAT \nIN FEBRUARY AFTER WE HEAR FROM \nFINANCE ABOUT THIS YEAR’S BUDGET \nAND AFTER WE ANALYZE THE \nGOVERNOR’S JANUARY BUDGET \nPROPOSAL. \nTWO PIECES OF REALLY GOOD NEWS. \nFIRST\, PRESIDENT BIDEN\, THIS \nWEEK\, SIGNED THE WATER RESOURCES \nDEVELOPMENT ACT OF 2024\, WHICH \nINCLUDES A SECTION INSTRUCTING \nTHE U.S. ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS \nTO CONDUCT A STUDY OF MEASURE TO \nADAPT TO RISING SEA LEVELS IN \nTHE SAN FRANCISCO BAY. THE \nSTUDY IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN IN \n2026. IT WILL BE DESIGNED TO \nADDRESS IMPACTS AND ADAPTATION \nTO SEA LEVEL RISE AND CLIMATE \nCHANGE IN THE NINE-COUNTY BAY \nAREA’S OCEAN AND BAY SHORELINES\, \nAND WILL CONSIDER THE NEEDS OF \nECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED \nCOMMUNITIES\, EXISTING VULNERABLE \nINFRASTRUCTURE\, AND THE USE OF \nNATURAL FEATURES AND BENEFICIAL \nUSE OF DREDGE SEDIMENT TO \nPROMOTE RESILIENCE. \nWE’LL CERTAINLY KEEP YOU \nINFORMED OF PROGRESS AS THE CORP \nBEGINS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO \nIMPLEMENT THE STUDY. \nFINALLY\, I WANT TO BUILD OFF OF \nCHAIR EISEN’S REMARKS. I \nAPPRECIATE RECEIVING E-MAILS \nFROM SEVERAL OF YOU THANKING \nSTAFF FOR THEIR DIFFICULT AND \nTREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL WORK IN \nCREATING THE REGIONAL SHORELINE \nADAPTATION PLAN\, BAY PLAN \nAMENDMENT THAT YOU APPROVED \nUNANIMOUSLY TWO WEEKS AGO. AS \nJESSICA FAIN AND I DISCUSSED \nAFTERWARD\, I’M SURE ALMOST EVERY \nMEMBER BCDC HAD SOME PART IN ITS \nCREATION. NOT JUST OUR PLANNING \nAND LEGAL TEAMS WHO RODE THE \nLABORING OARS\, BUT ALSO OUR \nPERMITTING STAFF WHOSE \nCONTRIBUTIONS WILL ENSURE THAT \nWE GAIN CLOSE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN \nPLANNING FUNCTION AND FUTURE \nPERMITTING DECISIONS.
