this is an environmental justice community. there is a strong population of filipino and asian people who have not really been actively involved in community meetings because of language barriers. we hope to break that down with this planning process. caltrans has an environmental justice planning grant program. supervisor cohen: congratulations on getting that grant. it is very exciting, but as you can imagine, this is important, and i am concerned that the outreach you have done has been primarily done in english, thus excluding the asian speaking members of the community. but going forward -- >> i do need to clarify. there has not been an official launch of the process. we submit it for march. it would be the official beginning. we were with communities who approached us and said they wanted to your specifically what we were doing about 19th avenue, about park ridge said. we used the meeting to say, "here is the project, but here is tier 5, and we want your ideas early on. the important thing is that the process begins as so

this has the enormous ecosystem implications for this environmental justice issue mentioned earlier, because a lot of people can't afford air-conditioning and ones that can, are going to suffer more or can't will suffer more. evidently there's a geographic issue here. people that can afford to live along the coastline are more insulated than the ones living in colorado or, elcentro. so at the bottom was an account of the increase for these events at this particular model at this particular point which i'm not doing to be labor. finally, the next one. so, i'm going to finish early, brad. as was mentioned, several times, there's a, range of warming we can anticipate but it looks like there's a threat this warming could happen disproportion nightly has we get away from the insulating nature of the ocean that absorbs heat over a water column and ture temperature you get sitting over a continental land surface. the heatwave essentially, is doing to start earlier, if you believe these models. there is an electrical energy and probably other energy implication of all of this, in terms of co

so i was really pleased you make the point about environmental justice. the second thing you find out in the uk it's almost always where we put our emergency services because the land is cheap. your fire departments, the ambulances, all that disappears in the first half hour of the storm. >> we use earthquake faults for that. >> okay, but i like the idea of the pilot project because people don't have to commit themselves so much. you get them working on the pilot project and then you expand it. >> certainly san francisco has a problem along these lines as well. we've been looking at developments that -- i guess i preface my statement by saying maybe, echoing the mayor's comment about we should have started looking at this 10 years ago, 10 years ago, at least in my world, i don't know that we talked much about this kind of thing. so we're seeing developments in san francisco, i've talked to developers that said, gee, tom, if anybody in the city would have told me to build my building two feet higher so it would drain right, i could have done that. it would

seen any empirical data, indoor and outdoor decks let me start with outdoor data from the environmental justice center. in this area, this will generate particulates. do we have any empirical data? no. indoors, it is true that we have to accommodate to ada, americans with disabilities act. i have been a project manager and have worked at the presidio with qualified certification is in every department. that is fine. but please do not bring our children here and form them. that is not right. when it comes to our institutions and the library, we need a meaningful dialogue where we speak about the building itself, the architect, the history, and so on and so forth. i was not supposed to speak on this subject, but it has triggered a raw nerve that they pawned our children to speak in favor of the project. i wish this project well, but i do not like the process. thank you very much. chairperson mar: thank you. i have a number of yellow speaker cards. if you could line up on the left side of this room -- jim lazarus, jamie windlow, peter nassir, and howard chabner. >> good afternoon, supervisors. jim

they're also the smaller portions that cover environmental justice. those go into staff costs, education, outreach, implementation, and on zero waste, implementing the mandatory composting and recycling law is very cumbersome, but cost-effective. our composting rates have doubled. apartment buildings have gone from a 20% of two greuptick rat. from the perspective of department of environment's they do help us. supervisors kim: it would be great to get the budget for that and the outcome on how we spend that money. exactly what you outlined. can you talk about whether we can segregate the residential and commercial? and why we are not able to do that now? >> can you say the question again? supervisors kim: my understanding is that we currently cannot segregate the profits brought in and we see it as one lump-sum. is there any reason for that? >> i will have to look into that question. i do not know. supervisors kim: i think those are my questions for now. thank you. supervisors chu: supervisor campos. supervisor campos: thank you, madam chair. a couple

hurry up and requires an environmental justice group polled residents in several coastal communities almost half said they have experienced health problems like coughing skin and eye irritation or headache that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure doctors say the consequences of having for example being seen in the blood could be a lot more serious it can cause a decreasing red blood cells leading to a nino or a cancer of the blood forming organs it's very clear when you look at the ingredients both of which is considered so. it is considered as rather a hazardous material coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants. and when you're exposed together and actually experienced or the arms more toxic and these are exactly the types of chemicals that are truly literally in people's blood many of the fact it got coast residents and those involved in the cleanup of the gulf say we're alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster many of them likely don't even have health coverage through. your should worship every marine biologists are saying

she was also co-founder of the first environmental justice working group in the state. we are very pleased here in san francisco and i believe all of you should be very pleased to have mary as the moderator of our first panel. mary, it's time for you to take it away. thank you. . >> thank you so much, susan, for that very generous introduction and also to the city and the public utilities commission for hosting this landmark event. it really is wonderful to see water utilities taking a leadership role in discussing this key issue and particularly to see the bredth of the program in terms of the way the issues are being addressed. i'm particularly pleased as an urban person to see for once that we're talking about water from the coast up the watershed, rather than the other way around. starting out this morning's program dealing with some of the very tough issues that face urban areas as they look not only at water supply but at water treatment and the energy role that water plays for us as well, both bringing us power and cooling our coastal power plants. i bring you gr

it is not going to create the same environmental justice issues. it is easier access from to the wheel of freeways, so we would have -- easier access from two freeways, so we would have better access, and it is closer to the central, so if it makes sense to the city to utilize pier 84 the replacement -- long- term replacement of existing facilities, we are open to discussing that. we do not know what it would cost. we do have some idea of what it would cost to build facilities at the property we currently own. we would have to do an analysis with before, and we are more than happy and willing to do that. commissioner campos: i think that commissioner pimentel wanted to ask a question if you do not mind. commissioner pimentel: if you decided to move to appear 80, would you continue hire from bayview, or with a go into a different zip code -- if he decided to move to peer 80, would you continue to hire from bayview, or would it go into a difference of code? >> we committed that if we build anything, even though some of those facilities might be in br

we formed mothers for environmental justice of on the hill because these guys were up at the foot ofs power plant, and that was our first goliath. >> with the shipyard, long before we started coming up, we knew that there were issues. when i became elected, i co- authored legislation to make sure we put the health department has the lead agency so that health was number one, and then we put a lot of things in place, a lot of traders in place, so we felt that it whoever was going to redevelop it, if they did not do the right thing, then triggers would come into play, and we would be aware of it, and we would make some changes. >> better than 80% of all the schools in the city come out here. don't send everybody out here, that old dilapidated plant out there. >> sewage plants should not be within 25 feet of people's homes, and the bayview is that way. that should move. it could move to the badlands of the poor property. i do not know that there is anything that we want to get rid of other than the power plants, sewage plants, asphalt plants, things that you do not want to grow. there a

an environmental justice group polled residents in several coastal communities almost half said they have experienced health problems like coughing skin and eye irritation or headaches that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure it's very clear when you look at the ingredients those are all which is considered so. it is considered as a hazardous material total with the ingredients in the toilets of this persons and when you mix those together it actually creates an. arms more toxic and these are exactly the types of images that are truly literally in people's what many of the fact that gulf coast residents and those involved. cleanup of the gulf they fear alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster marine biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed the country's environmental agency to investigate health effects of the spill but many gulf coast residents are sure agency will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug and any reporting from washington are . the e.u.
