SEC. 3100. HUNTERS POINT SHIPYARD. Findings. The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco hereby finds and declares as follows: A. This ordinance is designed to protect human health and safety and the environment at the former Hunters Point Shipyard during and after development and to facilitate redevelopment as envisioned in the Hunters Point Shipyard Redevelopment Plan, which the Board of Supervisors adopted in 1997 and amended in 2010, and its Environmental Impact Reports. B. The United States designated Hunters Point Shipyard as a U.S. Naval Shipyard in 1945. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the Hunters Point Shipyard on the National Priorities List pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) in 1989. The U.S. Navy ("Navy") has divided the site into parcels for purposes of remediation. C. The Navy issued a CERCLA Record of Decision (ROD) for Parcel A which was approved by the EPA, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), and the San Francisco Bay Region Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) in November 1995. The ROD concluded that "no action" was needed to clean up Parcel A. Effective April 5, 1999, EPA removed Parcel A from the National Priorities List after EPA and the State of California found that all appropriate responses under CERCLA had been implemented, that no further cleanup is appropriate for Parcel A and that the remedial actions conducted on Parcel A remain protective of public health, welfare, and the environment. D. On September 1, 2004, the Navy issued a draft final Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) for Parcel A. On September 30th and October 6th and 7th 2004, respectively, the EPA, DTSC and the RWQCB concurred with the Navy's FOST. The Navy signed the FOST on October 14, 2004. The FOST for Parcel A contains requirements for certain notices, restrictions and covenants to be included in the deed for Parcel A. These notices, restrictions and covenants are also referred to as "institutional controls" and are binding on all successive owners of any portion of Parcel A. E. On December 3, 2004, the Navy transferred portions of Parcel A to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. F. The Navy issued a CERCLA ROD Amendment for Parcel B in January 2009, a ROD for Parcel D-1 in September 2009, a ROD for Parcel G in February 2009, a ROD for Parcel UC-1 in August 2009 and a ROD for Parcel UC-2 in December 2009. The EPA, DTSC and the RWQCB approved these RODs. The RODs concluded that additional action was needed for the parcels to be protective of public health, welfare, and the environment in light of the redevelopment plans for the site. The Navy is preparing a ROD for Parcel C and issued a Draft Proposed Plan in January 2009. The Navy issued a Draft Final No Further Action ROD for Parcel D-2 in January 2009. The Navy completed a Draft Final Remedial Investigation Report for Parcel E in February 2008 and a Draft Feasibility Study in July 2009. The Navy issued a Draft Final Remedial Investigation Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for Parcel E-2 in February 2009 and a Draft Final Radiological Addendum to the RI/FS in March 2010. The Navy issued the Final Feasibility Study for Parcel F in April 2008.
G. In addition to Parcel A, which the Navy already transferred to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"), it is anticipated that the Navy will offer the remaining parcels for transfer to the Agency in accordance with a Conveyance Agreement between the Agency and the Navy. Prior to transfer of any parcel, the Navy will issue a draft final FOST or a draft final Finding of Suitability for Early Transfer (FOSET) for the parcel. If the Navy issues a FOST, the Conveyance Agreement requires the Navy to obtain the concurrence of the EPA, DTSC, and RWQCB in the final FOST before it offers the parcel to the Agency. If the Navy issues a FOSET, CERCLA requires the Navy to obtain the approval of EPA and the concurrence of the Governor of California which will be based on input from DTSC and the RWQCB. A FOST or FOSET may require the deeds for the property to include certain environmental notices, restrictions or covenants, also referred to as "institutional controls" that will be binding on all successive owners of the transferred property to which such notices, restrictions or covenants apply. The Navy also is expected to enter into a Covenant to Restrict Use of Property (CRUP) with DTSC, which will be binding on subsequent owners and will provide for DTSC enforcement of the covenants, restrictions or conditions to which the property is subject. A Land Use Control Remedial Design (LUC RD) for each parcel will lay out the inspection and reporting requirements for the institutional controls and activity and land use restrictions. For property that transfers via a FOSET, the EPA and the Agency and possibly subsequent private developers, will be required to enter into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC), also approved by state environmental regulatory agencies, which will detail the required corrective or cleanup actions and restricted activities associated with the property covered by the AOC and provide for EPA enforcement of its terms. Additionally, for property that transfers via a FOSET, the Navy and the Agency will enter into an Early Transfer Cooperative Agreement (ETCA), which will provide for the Agency to cause to be performed certain environmental remediation activities to facilitate redevelopment in exchange for funding of such activities by the Navy. H. The Board of Supervisors by Resolution 347-10, adopted CEQA findings, including a mitigation monitoring and reporting program ("MMRP") for the Candlestick Point-Hunters Point Shipyard Phase II Development Plan Project ("Project"), for which the Agency and Planning Commissions certified a Final Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") in June 3, 2010. The Project contains all of the property in the Hunters Point Shipyard except the property designated as Parcel A by the Navy. The MMRP contains mitigation measures that address potential hazardous materials impacts associated with the Project. It is the intent of the Board to create a process for the Department of Public Health to enforce in the Hunters Point Shipyard portion of the Project certain hazardous materials mitigation measures identified in the FEIR through this Article 31.

Upon receipt of a site evaluation report from an Applicant, the Director shall determine whether the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area is subject to the provisions of the California Integrated Waste Management Act (Cal. Public Resources Code § 40000 et seq.) as amended, relating to development on or near a former landfill disposal site. In making this determination, the Director may consult with the Local Enforcement Agency and the California Integrated Waste Management Board. (a) For any Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area or portion thereof that is subject to such provisions, the Director shall require the Local Enforcement Agency to approve proposed land uses and determine any necessary protective measures or requirements to the extent necessary to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 27, Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Article 6 (Section 20917 et seq.) and Subchapter 5 (Section 20950 et seq.), as amended. (b) For any Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area or portion thereof that is located within 1,000 feet of a former landfill disposal site, but which is not subject to the above- referenced provisions of the California Integrated Waste Management Act, the Director shall review any proposed structures to ensure that the construction or use of the structure will not pose a threat to public health and safety or the environment. In making this determination, the Director shall consider the potential for adverse impacts on public health and safety and the environment, taking into account the following: the amount, nature and age of solid waste in the landfill disposal area; current and projected gas generation; effectiveness of existing controls; proximity of the proposed land uses to landfill disposal area; and other relevant geographic or geologic features. Based on these factors, the Director shall determine whether the structure must be designed and constructed in accordance with the following measures or requirements (or other design providing an equivalent degree of protection against gas migration into the structure): installation of a geomembrane or equivalent system with low permeability to landfill gas between the concrete floor slab of the structure and subgrade; installation of a permeable layer of open graded material of clean aggregate with a minimum thickness of 12 inches between the geomembrane and the subgrade or slab; installation of a geotextile filter to prevent the introduction of fines into the permeable layer; installation of perforated venting pipes, designed to operate without clogging, within the permeable layer; construction of a venting pipe with the ability to be connected to an induced draft exhaust system; installation of automatic methane gas sensors within the permeable gas layer, and inside the structure to trigger an audible alarm when methane gas concentrations are detected; and/or appropriate periodic methane gas monitoring, including monitoring inside structures, with reporting requirements and a contingency and mitigation plan. For purposes of this section, "structures" shall include: buildings, subsurface vaults, utilities or any other buildings or areas where potential gas buildup would be of concern. (c) If the Director determines under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section that protective measures or requirements are necessary, the Director shall inform the relevant department in writing that such measures or requirements must become conditions of the permit or improvement plan. (Added by Ord. 303-04, File No. 041541, App. 12/24/2004; Ord. 204-10, File No. 100575, App. 8/3/2010) SEC. 3107. RULES AND REGULATIONS.

An Applicant must comply with institutional controls included in any deed conveying ownership from the United States Navy to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency pursuant to a final FOST or FOSET or included in any recorded covenant to restrict use of property containing environmental restrictions to the extent such institutional controls apply to activities authorized by a permit or improvement plan subject to this Article. The Director will advise the relevant department of the specific requirement pursuant to the deed; require compliance with the institutional controls as a condition of the permit or improvement plan; and coordinate with the relevant department to monitor and enforce compliance with such institutional controls. (Added by Ord. 303-04, File No. 041541, App. 12/24/2004; Ord. 204-10, File No. 100575, App. 8/3/2010) SEC. 3114. SITE EVALUATION AND SITE MITIGATION FOR UNRESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. This section applies to property determined by the applicable ROD to be suitable for unrestricted residential use that is transferred without a requirement for a durable cover or engineered cap. (a) An Applicant must submit the following, satisfactory to the Director, as further specified in regulations adopted by the Director: (i) Site Evaluation Report; (ii) Dust Control Plan; (iii) Unknown Contaminant Contingency Plan; (iv) Disposal Plan (if applicable); (v) Site Specific Health and Safety Plan; (vi) Soil Importation Plan (if applicable), (vii) Foundation Support Piles Installation Plan (if applicable), (viii) a determination of whether additional information is necessary to adequately characterize the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area, and (ix) for areas that undergo demolition of structures with lead based paint, a scope of work to collect additional information as described in the regulations. The plans required by (ii)-(ix) must be specific to the activities to be conducted under a permit or improvement plan. The Director shall review the site evaluation report and advise the Applicant on whether additional information is necessary as follows: (1) In unrestricted residential parcels, if the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area has already been evaluated in a Site Evaluation Report in the past and a Closure Report for the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area was approved by the Director and the Closure Report included verification of: (i) the placement of at least one foot of clean imported fill or equivalent on areas with fill containing naturally occurring asbestos; or (ii) that the Area was cut into native bedrock and properly covered, if necessary, to address any concerns about naturally occurring asbestos; or (iii) that the Area has no naturally occurring asbestos concerns; then no site history, data evaluation, sampling or additional characterization will be necessary with respect to such Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area. (2) Unrestricted residential property that does not meet the criteria provided in subdivision (1) will be evaluated as follows: (A) Tier I Areas. If a portion of a Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area has been used continuously only for residential purposes, or is not located on historic fill (as defined in a map maintained by the Director pursuant to Section 3107(e)), or is not or has not been underlain by Navy utility lines (as defined on a map maintained by the Director pursuant to Section 3107(e)), and, in any case, there is no evidence that hazardous substances are present, no additional information or sampling will be necessary with respect to such portions of the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area. The Director shall provide the Applicant and the relevant department with written notification that the Applicant has complied with the requirements of this Article as to such portions, and must comply with the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, and all laws applicable to soil removal and off-site disposal. (B) Tier II Areas. In portions of Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area other than those described as Tier I, if the Director determines that such portions are adequately characterized, the Director shall provide the Applicant and the relevant department with written notification that the Applicant has complied with the requirements of this Article as to such portions, and must comply with the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, and all laws applicable to soil removal and off-site disposal. If the Director determines that additional information is necessary to adequately characterize portions of the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area, the Applicant must submit a proposed scope of work for a supplemental site evaluation in accordance with regulations adopted by the Director. Upon approval of the scope of work by the Director, the Applicant shall implement the scope of work and prepare a supplemental site evaluation report summarizing the new information. (a) If the supplemental site evaluation report shows that there is no existing contamination that exceeds the screening criteria established by the Director by regulation, the Director shall provide the Applicant and the relevant department with written notification that the Applicant has complied with the requirements of this Article, and must comply with the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, and all laws applicable to soil removal and off-site disposal. (b) If the supplemental site evaluation report shows that there is existing contamination that exceeds the screening criteria established by the Director and the
ant has complied with the requirements of this Article, and must comply with the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, and all laws applicable to soil removal and off-site disposal. (b) If the supplemental site evaluation report shows that there is existing contamination that exceeds the screening criteria established by the Director and the Applicant wishes to retain that soil in the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area or elsewhere within unrestricted
residential property, the Applicant must prepare and submit to the Director a risk evaluation report and a site mitigation plan demonstrating the property can still be used for unrestricted residential purposes consistent with the FOST. The site mitigation plan must include the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, and may include a deed notice, provided that any notice is consistent with use for unrestricted residential purposes. The Director must review and approve the risk evaluation report and the site mitigation plan. Upon approval of these documents, the Director shall provide the Applicant and the relevant department with written notification that the Applicant has complied with the requirements of this Article, and must comply with the site mitigation plan and all laws applicable to soil removal and off-site disposal. (b) If the Director finds that the Applicant intends to remove soil from the Prescribed Subsurface Activity Area and dispose of that soil off-site, then the Director shall find that, as to that soil, no additional information is necessary and shall provide the Applicant and the relevant department with written notification that the Applicant has complied with the requirements of this Article, and must comply with the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, and all laws applicable to soil removal and off-site disposal. (c) Upon completion of the activity authorized by the permit or improvement plan, the Applicant shall submit a Closure Report to the Director including: additional information or data obtained, including information on unanticipated conditions; correcting any information previously submitted; and certifying implementation of the plans listed in subsection (a)(ii)-(ix), as determined by the Director to be applicable, any applicable risk management or site mitigation plan and all laws applicable to soil removal. (Added by Ord. 303-04, File No. 041541, App. 12/24/2004; Ord. 204-10, File No. 100575, App. 8/3/2010) SEC. 3115. HPS PROPERTY WITH A DURABLE COVER REQUIREMENT. (a) For property which is subject to a deed restriction or covenant to restrict use of property containing an environmental restriction requiring a durable cover or engineered cap the Applicant shall submit to the Director (i) Site Evaluation Report; (ii) Dust Control Plan; (iii) Unknown Contaminant Contingency Plan; (iv) Disposal Plan (if applicable); (v) Site Specific Health and Safety Plan; (vi) Soil Importation Plan (if applicable); (vii) Foundation Support Piles Installation Plan. The Applicant will also submit verification to the Director of the following: (b) for property that is currently subject to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) and is therefore subject to the regulatory oversight of the EPA, the Applicant must submit proof that it is complying with all environmental documents and restrictions, including without limitation as applicable, the AOC, ETCA, CRUP, LUC RD, pre-Remedial Action Closeout Report (pre-RACR) Risk Management Plan (RMP), post-RACR RMP and Operation and Maintenance Plan (OMP). Proof of compliance can be: (i) a letter from EPA detailing the compliance; (ii) a report or checklist, as required by the document; or (iii) any other form acceptable to the Director demonstrating compliance. (c) for property that is no longer subject to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) or that was never subject to an AOC, the Applicant must submit proof that it is complying with all environmental documents and restrictions that are applicable to the property, including without limitation as applicable, an ETCA, CRUP, pre-RACR RMP, post-RACR RMP, and OMP.
