and you know, they have to have some kind, because they go to the bcdc, and down to the area and the david asked the same question, what are you going to do? lease it for 60 or 70 years? and we will have some problems, beyond 2050 for sure, and so, taking care of the problem, for the rise and the 2050, and it is is completely independent of what we are going to do for 2100. and 2050 solution, involves building short walls, you know, the curve walls a long the piers but the 2100 solution we are talking about building a new sea wall, which is completely different and we have to find, you know, you have to think about what are we going to build it in front of the pier or move it father out. >> and one thought would be as we look at the specific leases that will be, and that go up to 2050 or beyond, and i am just wondering as a portfolio, when we should worry about the charge or the reserve to build up, the funding and we are not going to fund it entirely ourselves but if we don't start building something and that could be called out in any leases a it is a sinking fund to help us addres

the executive director of bcdc tells me google can build whatever it wants. but in order to use it google has to say what it's going to be used for. the bcdc says it told google stop keeping it secret and specifically asked the tech giant what is the purpose of this vehicle. >> reporter: here is the thing. google may end up with floating structure that it can't even use. because in order to get a permit t company would have to prove that whatever is going to go on on the water out there couldn't be done on land. >> the bcdc already facing heat other the warriors' plan to banal arena on the san francisco waterfront says the law is crystal clear in this case. the bay is not to be used for something that can be built on land. >> part of the secrecy, of course, is the money. easy to see millions of dollars have been spent already and to have it fall apart because of a lack of permit would be a huge embarrassment to the executives. >> this is strange. it is a back. could google even do this without the proper permit. >> that's the thing. it is not like going to th

including bcdc and at the local regional and the state levels. also, with the sliding sea level, it will become increasingly difficult, to repair and maintain a port's piers. now, i will talk about the side and the liquidfaction issues. the ground below the structure resulting in sliding if you recall, joe's presentation, and the original coast line was somewhere along the western edge of the embarcadero and the space between the coast line and the existing coast wall is filled with soil, and several feet of ground and sliding of the sea wall, is expected, during the major seismic event and, although the flight risks associated with the sea level rise are expected to open gradually and either seismic event could happen any time, and the wide and spread chaos and destruction, and rebuilding, and this picture shows what could happen along the water front if we get 7.9 on the earthquake, a new building after the event will not be easy, it will be very expensive and it may take years. next to slides, shows enough time line of addressing sea level ris

>>reporter: bcdc is contend tikriting on more transit oriented development to reduce carbon mission but only one piece of the puzzle and recognize the problem is bigger than the ream to take on alone. >> only this area nothing will happen. you have to get everybody. we have to get china. india. you have to get texas. and alabama. >> plan also requires international climate at change agreement in par is in 2015. this is abc 7 news. >> all right. planet may warming generally but specifically in the bay area it's cooling off. >> you are right. point out talking about the wind and it showed somehow 52 miles per hour gust. that water an early report. it's calmed down. yes. this is live doppler 7hd calm conditions around the bay area right now. there is a little bit of moisture moving through parts of the south bay and mountains and as a result we have light scattered showers the but nothing very significant at the moment. on the coast look at rainfall total in the past 44 hours and see 4 tenth inch of rain at monterey and inch at mount coral monterey bay had the higher measurement of rainfal

the executive director of bcdc tells me google can build what it wants but in order to use it google has to say what it will be used for. the bcbc says as recently as this week it told google stop keeping the secret and specifically ask the tech giant what is the purpose of the vehicle? google may end up with a floating structure it can't even use. in order to get a permit the company would have to prove that whatever is going go on on the water couldn't be done on land. bcbc already facing heat over the warriors plan to build an arena on san francisco's water front says the law is crystal clear in this case. the bay is not to be used for something that can be built on land. >> part of the secrecy about this whole thing is the money. millions of dollars have been spent on the project already and to have it fall aparted because of the lack of permit would not only be costly but a huge embarrassment to google execs. >>> a bizarre ending to game three in the world series. an obstruction call called for the win for st. louis cardinals. >> it gets away. allen craig. >> let's take a closer

. >> bcdc might issue google a permit if the tech giant could prove what it would do with the floating structure can only be done on water and not on land. as kpix 5 first reported on friday, well placed sources tell us to barge is going to be google glass, the wearable computer. it will be towed from treasure island to fort mason. if it is out on bay water, coast guard should know what's going on, right. we came to the coast guard head quarters lookings for answers because we have put in numerous requests asking for the coast guard's inspection information on that barge. what we were told today is that the people who have the answers are all in meetings. >> so maybe we can hear from the barge itself. not kidding. a ghoul barge twitter account lab set up. one tweet referring to the bay bridge. the other a star war are also rebel attack. all very much tongue and cheek but still this is spreading around. everybody wants to know. >> very interesting part of the pier, too. >> the shipping containers, we have seen them used for houses, storage. even at the america's cup village they used qu

. >> the permitting process for building is not handled by bcdc and the coast guard has to provide a certificate for the vessel. >> reporter: the coast guard isn't being very forthcoming either. today it only confirmed it is working with the barge's owners, but gave zero details citing, due to issues of commercial confidentiality, we are unable to disclose any more information at this time. meanwhile, the reuters wire service is reporting at least one coast guard employee signed a confidentiality agreement with google. a coast guard spokesman would only add that this is an unusual situation that they don't typically deal with. >> i have a source that told me this afternoon that this is not a defense department project, not a national security project. this is a google project. how is it that the u.s. coast guard cannot give us information about this? >> it seems to be unprecedented. we cannot really find a case where they are not forthcoming with information. we are pressing ahead freedom of information requests probably to be filed. this is apparently not national security. so they
