s.f. blue relies too heavily on an e.i.r.cancer risk assessment of 226 chances per million which is a misleading figure, as framed by s.f. blue. this cancer risk assessment is based on an existing plus project scenario. this is an unrealistic, hypothetical scenario for the year 2014, where all the traffic increases from the plan are placed on top of that year's conditions. under this scenario, the e.i.r. arrived at a cancer risk of 226 chances per million. the actual cancer risk will be much less. much of the 226 chances per million comes from diesel vehicles and emission rates in 2014. there are now stringent standards and regulations that are greatly reducing diesel emissions. by 2023, there will be substantial reductions in diesel emissions. substantial reductions are also expected from gasoline vehicles. the e.i.r. it looked at these effects in 2014 when the plan would be fully built and predicted that the maximum cancer risk would be 8.1 chances per will -- per million. much of the area would have a considerably lower ri

blue spokes, and homeless tracing. cancer prevention foundation update, public service announcements through s.f. government television, asian firefighters association, and other employee group presentations. the chief's appraisal and strategic plan update. >> president cleaveland: thank you. >> commissioner veronese: i don't know if it is appropriate for a future meeting, but may be it is. we should keep our eye on ab 3115. i'm not sure if you are watching this, it is on the governor's desk right now. i believe it affects your department. i wanted to know and get an update by them and maybe have it -- maybe it won't be signed but it will be moot and maybe we'll get an update on how it affects the department. and then the commission retreat that we had earlier this week, i thought it was a great conversation. we had identified certain things in the time that we spent. i imagine some future action items will come out of that. i look forward to that report as well. >> president cleaveland: thank you. i do believe we also need to put the expedited amendments to the disciplinary appeal process on the
