12:54 pm
pursuant to code. >> and you feel those requirements are going to be done. if i envision 10 projects in this area i imagine 7, 8, 9, 10 of them will be participating in this program >> i could - can only say it's the intent for them to - >> let's say this year on this? >> with site mitigation cases
12:55 pm
like as you're a developer you have multiple projects they're all in different states of projection and we have 1.5 f t e and in the site mitigation between our clean up program we're currently 65 cases we're working on. the large amount of review is in the reports. we're trying to go over what their plan of action is in the project we sit down to discuss what the options that they're looking at for the mitigation of the hazard and it maybe removal
12:56 pm
or the engineer cap there's a number of opposition - options they have >> i think you guys do have a public health approach you educate folks and that's helpful that about, you know, in the real world what happens in development of san francisco i think that making it part of the code is smart because it will increase the workload of the health department. when things have to go through a sequa process there's a handful of people in the city that pay attention. folks who pay attention took
