i may recall in 2010 the commission awarded a new mining lease as parting of the rfp process. they were part of the bigger plan to develop the water projects. that was adopted by the commission in 2000. now in 2001 they received approval of a transfer of the contract. now this brings us to phase 2. as part of phase two and required by the lease o d s pilot to alameda county and what those rotations is it allows a

greater depth and to expand the mining operation to a 50 acre parcel. and during the second phase of the project where significant had beention. most of those projects are part of the deal that was answered the question with the center for diversity and the alameda creek aligns. the other projects had their lease with the o s and puc. one project is a construction of a cut off law that will help keep water flows in the creek that will best serve the habitat. and next the burial of a habitat

burial line. another project involves the partial revenge of san antonio creek. and to encourage fish migration. now in addition to the response to the concerns of the folks o d s entered a contract to serve the interests of the folks. i want to point out that the puc is not a party to that agreement nor is the puc a party to the conservation contract i mentioned. and phase 2 the o d s has agreed to chances to expend the lease

so it will be co- termed with the schedule for the preference of certainty improvements such as a utility on the premises. and it will have an expansion to the premises that will minimize the projects that are ongoing in the area. it will define the contribution and some issues around the concrete plant. now revisions f to s m p revisions are jury room review. the city retains very important rights to this process.

that specifically the city has the right to approve the content of those revisions to make sure they go along with the lease. the city retains the right to add mitigations to the policy. the city reserves the right to approve the revisions of s m p if the significant impacts can't be reduced. now because of the city development after a review of the sequa documents has determined that sixth environmental impacts can in fact be reduced to a less than significant level the puc

recommendations that the sequa findings be approved. subject to the board of supervisors approval >> comments? >> welcome >> thank you good afternoon, commissioners. jeff millers i'm speaking on and on today on for the center of biological reform. we've been working with the puc on o for 10 years on the aligns for the creek. we've been working with the other agencies since that 2008. those revisions from the lease are going to help the revenge of the creek and that is adjacent

to the quarry. and this reduce flow into the quarry pit. i notice they've contributed to the investigation for the reerg report. in addition this lease enables some restoration. this reduced the quarry by allowing the infrastructure to be put on the quarry. and in addition this contributes to the pg&e plan up to $2 million for critical fish passages and in the lower creek

they're going to open the whole creek up to trout again. the puc has found a beneficial lease holder and tenant. we found them to be very easy to work with and i'm very interested in the environmental improvements and i noticed the interests for them to work with the several communities to make sure the interests and concerns that the towns interests were meet. we wholeheartedly support those policies and there's some exciting things to happen for alameda creek. thank you >> mr. jim.

>> good afternoon. i'm jim. i.e., represent the vice president pat is ill and not able to leave home at this point. we want to add our support to this lease provision p we spent a tremendous amount of time with jim summers and we found which usually we're on the other side of the table but in this specific project we're extremely pleased with the kind of cooperation that we had. the kind of assistance and understanding the complex issues that the folks in the area had

concerns about. we got a lot of straight information wherever we asked our questions. i think i can. for the general population that the community is pleased with the process. and we're extremely pleased with the final outcome. there will be a community fund established and that will be funded by albert. there are making a generous donation to argue response project in the community. we are extremely supportive. and the chances that this lease revision will allow will mitigate many of the major concerns we had about the

original proposal quarry. so we certainly urge you to support this provision and the community would like to thank you for your recent parking lot adventure. we're looking for some improvement on our fire hydrants >> you're welcome on the parking lot i've heard comments in the folks. >> i'd like to make a motion but i want to make a comment what would you like first. >> the comment. >> i'm really very pleased by the last two speakers. this has a long, long history it goes back many, many years. i'm just thrilled by it all and
