basin. the burgeoning activity in the open water basin would significantly impact the character of the water basin. our planned amendment proposal would be to shift the base into the area between pier 29 and 31. also the area off of pier 23 in the half. it is a shallow area between pier 43 and pier 45 that has a great views of the bay and is adjacent to the park. the america's cup also proposes to remove the entirety of the pier 27 shed and a portion of the 29 shed that intersects with 27. that removal is a greater level of removal than the proposed pier 23 removal by and the special area planned. we would propose that that removal would be a trade-off for pier 23, allowing us to keep that historic resources. it will allow us to keep the potential to acre plaza at the end appeared 27 and 29 that needs to be used for cruise ship provisioning when there are cruise ships in place, but it could serve as important public access when it is not in use for crews purposes. without getting too lost in

the second place is the open water basin at the rincon park. the proposal is spectator yachts would be berthed in that open water basin. it the special area plan limits mooring to non-commercial vessels. the items will be held at the commission meeting on july 7, in the port commission room, in this building. there will be a staff report available, june 24. at this time, staff is only recommending an allowance for the brannon street wharf open water basin and not the rincon point open water base. at some more to come on where the super yachts will be berthed. and finally, i'd like to propose the port commission adjourned its meeting today in honor of the fallen san francisco firefighters, lieutenant vincent perez and firefighter paramedic anthony valerio, two college to we have lost 10 days -- two of our colleagues that we have lost. >> any comments on the executive director's report? ok. >> item 7 b., legislative updates. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is jonathan stern with the planet -- with the port planning and development divis

it is the open water basin in the area planned. but the new agreement requires that the port provide this space for the purposes of large spectator vessels during the races. in to permit dredging in this area. it would need to be to a debt of about 12 feet. promising that long-term in that location from the event authority. the proposal for this special area plan would be related only to the special use of this location for the race. it would permit these large spectator wrote vessels in the park with docs installed on a temporary basis, moved after the race. i have to say to the commission that the feedback we have gotten on this proposal has not been great. the lincoln park area provides extraordinary views of the day. members of the public are going to want to see the day, even if they are not interested in the america's cup. we have a ways to go in terms of convincing the staff and the commission about the merits of this proposal. this is the open water basin. just south of the bay bridge. as you remember, the industrial bases

. >> this forms a big long skinny basin and runs into san francisco. it is the coastal bluffs areas that are subject to erosion from the waves and the ground water that comes out and you start to lose this. this is the largest example of failure for a long part of the coast. it has been moving continuously for a long time. >> the ocean was at the same level as we are standing. in 1982, and massive slide occurred further to the north of and one day it moves 5 feet and by the second day it moves 30 feet out. all of that land down below was sitting out here. it was a great deal logic feature of the landslide further to the south. there were houses on top and there was a very steep slope. you can see some debris slides where the sand is slowing. then you drop into a gully or a drainage swell. the top of the landslides' is just a drop in the middle where another clock has pulled away from the edge. the higher hill on the outside edge of the rich and the depression is the drop. surface erosion is an acute issue. >> you can see the evidence of the houses dire

let's take a look at the missouri river basin. a z you take a look at this map it's going to show you the missouri river. this is the state of montana. this time of year the snow is melting. it's late in the season because temperatures have been very cool. all of this has been going through the river basin system and kind of converging here into parts of the dakotas. so there's all this pressure that's been building up. they're trying to release it through some of these spillways and dams. this is a little different than what we're talking about on the mississippi river. this is where the spillway is where they released it. this time it went into a lake as o opposed to inundating farm lapd. they're trying to control it as it moves downstream. we're also watching the james river in major flood across parts of south dakota. that spills into the missouri river. we're looking at a very serious situation. lots of little rivers and towns along this way are preparing in advance of that release of water for where it comes. for example, on

but there's 80-degree temperatures for some, especially potrero hill, china basin, the north mission. towards the great highway i've seen anywhere from 67 to 70. for the inland areas, it doesn't matter, it's hot! 94 in livermore. 9 in san jose. 93 in concord. fairfield, 93. 48 at the napa airport. 89 closer to town. santa rosa, 88, 85 all over the place. but temperatures seem to edge down a little bit coast and bay because look what's zeroing in on us. that's the fog. it's not far away. it's very shallow. it won't matter for inland areas. they will still be very hot. but i don't think we'll seat any records. san francisco's was 95 back in 1929. so not even close there. temperatures warmed up yesterday, i'll say. really warmed up today. we'll top out and we'll take the trend to wednesday and i think by the weekend, we'll see temperatures 20 degrees cooler -- cool erin the inland areas than they are today. the fog is trying to get back but now the west wind will start to take over. still, a lot of sunshine. maybe a couple of hours on the coast. but that fog will start surging up the san

host: what about the mississippi river basin, where it has been flooding? guest: yeah, so, the states that affected have been at the south river basin, south of illinois, so there you have at tennessee -- memphis is the only major city to have been affected. most of the other areas have been rural so far. mississippi, louisiana, of course. host: what would you -- for macro impact of the flooding that occurred there recently, how would you describe it? guest: so, the industries that have been -- the first thing is that the numbers are still trickling in, because the flood waters have not yet receded completely. the damages are still being computed. in terms of industries in acted first, it would be cropland -- industries impacted, first it would be cropland. and then because you have the river, the river is an important form of transportation. farms in the midwest to down at the gulf port, where they are exported out of the u.s. traffic along the river, barge traffic, shipping, those industries have been affected at the hospitality industry, casinos along th
