the seismic vulnerability was taken care of. we're trying to restore the water supply impact of that. this does not put us at any extended risk. other projects do present that kind of a risk. >> the model shows that in the event of the calaveras dam earthquake, the project -- the system would be sustained. you are absolutely correct. we lowered level, the way the program is devised that source would not be required in the event of a calaveras event. that is the events -- >> we went out there last month to take a look. it is a stunning sight. you get a real sense of what is going on when you see some of the ancient, we will be taking out -- people out in early september. we would be happy to include you. it is an amazing work. we have had some problems. that seems to have calmed down. the bay tunnel has gone quite well. the calaveras dam is a problem. it is one that is taking up a lot of our concern. the other item, we had a bond sale this morning. >> good afternoon. the good news does continue on the financial side of things. bo

where should nuclear seismic issues be considered in reliancing?well, i certainly agree with marv in regard to seismic should be considered all the time. since nothing was rapping there, our recourse was to say you can't go another tent ten or twenty years without longing at that. right now ya vow canyon more and more faults foundoff shore is getting a permission to do the seismic studies. the operator key ab low canyon filed more than 4 years ahead of the expiration date of their license which we thought was a rush to judgment. and frankly crown -- you know, we're not antinuclear. we're concerned about the imhaifer of some people. you have to remember, i'm -- i use analogies of three-legged stools. you have technology, human beings, and mother nature. and it's all a system. and technology gets old, we have been waiting for news for new technology, things wear down on weather you have human beings who decide, build, operate these facilities, we make mistakes, awe owe know. and mother nature has been totally unpredictable throughout my lifetime in t

when the big trucks rolled up to jim leaps ranch last month he was told it was for seismic testing.w leave me i think while this is really exciting. because the ranch sits right on the san andreas fault that didn't take long for lead in pauley goldman to get suspicious. as soon as i saw how many people were involved it felt like i don't see how this could be about earthquakes. because to have that amount of money? it could be used for will. >>> much to their surprise the couple couple noticed their land and town of aromas and the central coast is sitting on one of the richest deposits of oil in the united states. called a moderate shale. starting just south of the bay area and runs to the middle of the state underneath according to recent federal reports 15 and half a billion barrels of oil. while deposits are so deep and hard to get to hear the drilling would of been economically unfeasible just a few years ago now is possible through dances and hydraulic fracturing. the technique creates fractures and rocks by injecting them with water laced with chemicals and sandras allowing the

other very important çinstitutions of like our medil institutions, hospitals, to rebuild them to seismicng those things. we are also investing in people. i always smile when people say i am a member ofç nert, the neighborhood emergency response technicians. we pride ourselves on recruiting more nert volunteers from every part of our neighborhoods, speaking different languages, representing different cultures so that theyç can breed the kid of culture and we want to have with every one of our neighborhoods. the neighborhood empowerment network is helping usç reach ot to every neighborhood, use small business loans through our small business administration. they are here today as part of this great agencies that help us roll ou federal dollars matched with the state and local dollars. while we do small loans in our valuable opportunities to say, what else can we do to meditateç -- mitigateç and build capacit? someday we will need you. çwe will need to invest in your do you know what happened in new orleans? the thing that hit us the hardestñr was when people did nt have the confidence

we are excited the project will allow us to work side-by-side with our partners, the most seismically sound and technologically advanced air traffic control tower in the world. i would like to know introduced the secretary of transportation to give a broader perspective on this project as it relates to infrastructure as a whole. it is my great pleasure to introduce the secretary of the department of transportation. mr. secretary. >> good morning, thank you all for being here. special thanks to michael, who you will hear from in just a minute, our outstanding acting faa administrator, had to our very good friend, someone we think so much of, your outstanding mayor, thank you for being here. it is great to be in san francisco, which is no stranger to the power of thinking big and building big. 75 years ago, our forebears' built one of the most iconic symbols of america's vision. the golden gate bridge. it celebrated 75 years strong amidst the struggle of the great depression and in the face of fierce opposition. it would have been too easy to give up and abandon the project, but they di

at north point, we also recommended a base project, which was seismic, order control, great removal, refurbishing of the existing out wall, whitewater pomp rienzi, and system improvements. these projects totaled $624 million and have and $11 impact on the average monthly bill in 2032. having completed the treatment plant summary, we turned to the collection system. we initially focused on reliability systemwide. we then look that particular issues associated with bayside, the west side, and green infrastructure, which as you recall, we made a $400 million commitment to. systemwide recommendations include operational improvements, a pump station rehabilitation, combined super discharge out wall structural improvements and backflow prevention where needed, and odor prevention sites throughout the system. these projects totaled $838 million and we have a $14 per month impact on the average monthly bill. when we looked at the bayside system, you may remember the drivers were concerned with. there is replacement or redundancy, regulatory compliance to get initially to the recurrence of 10

reliability and redundancy and then we can see add-ons to those based projects and those included seismic reliability, and electrical redundancy, odor control, and new group facilities and processes throughout the plant. recommended option 3, which also added a wet water treatment facility to replace the existing what water facilities at southeast these projects had a total cost of $800 million and the monthly impact is $14 million per month. at oceanside, we recommended a base project, which again with seismic and electrical upgrade, odor control improvements at the westside pump station, a redundant west main for reliable flow to the plant, great removal and a frog receiving station, the cost of these facilities is four hundred $64 million with a monthly impact of $8 per month. at north point, we also recommended a base project, which was seismic, order control, great removal, refurbishing of the existing out wall, whitewater pomp rienzi, and system improvements. these projects totaled $624 million and have and $11 impact on the average monthly bill in 2032. having completed the treatme

it is part of the project of improving seismic stability on the bridge. they're replacing a joint that will allow the bridge to move more in case of an earthquake. >> traffic is historical light on holiday weekends so cal trans likes to take holiday weekends to do the full bridge closures. this is the second to last closure with the dumbarton bridge. we're almost done with the project >> they will be replacing spans in all lanes of traffic which is why the need to shop whole thing down. the bridge carries about 61,000 vehicles per day between alameda and san mateo counties. runs 1.6 mi., it will be very lonely stretch until 5:00 on tuesday morning. as we have historically seen with these projects, they sometimes wrapped up early. right now, live in a new work >> how about the rest of the bay area traffic? >> traffic is actually fairly light but we do have one accident along 101. let me show you the san mateo bridge where traffic is flowing in both directions. this is none of the best alternates for the closure of the dumbarton bridge. use the san mateo br

some way it disconnected the existing 115 lines that serve thedede substation, that there would be seismically-sound redundant transmission lines serving downtown so that the lights will not go out. this is a major transition project.

the age of the system, seismic safety, and public health are the concerns that resonate the most. we have heard from participants that they desire a less intrusive way. we are trying to think. coming to a community meeting does not always work for them. what are ways to provide them timely information and receive feedback? we will be developing these as we develop the strategic plan. moving forward, we will use the tactics highlighted on the slide to build understanding. obviously, public engagement is the central component to this work. it will allow us to go beyond informing and educating the public. we will seek out partnerships, the middle of a, which it -- with a diverse array of organizations. whether it is business groups, labor partners, with the hope of being able to reach out to individuals and organizations that are new to the sfpuc but have a vested interest. we will expand upon the current channel that we used to reach current stakeholders, using new technology and social media. our next steps are to, from now to the spring of next year, we will complete the developme

it means the highest category for seismic safety, allowing it to function during a major earthquake. is a modern hospital that preserves our history and commu. it also includes the 22 new skilled nursing bed facility to provide the transition for our elderly patients. we have received numerous letters of support from agencies in san francisco, as well as over 2000 cards signed by our community. i was tempted to ask all of them to come here today and speak in support of our project. instead, i have asked them to step forward and plan on our behalf. i hope you can agree -- and i respectfully ask for your recommendations to the general plan -- i will be happy to answer any questions. no? ok. supervisor mar: thank you. so, seeing no other questions, let's open this up for public comment. i see a few cards. we are again limiting it to two minutes per person. supervisor chiu: i only have two cards. if anyone else would like to speak in public comment, you can line up on the left and that would be great. >> good afternoon. supervisor chiu: if you could speak into the microphone? perfect. >>

to the program management reserve and those savings realized from the issued the contract for the seismic. the savings will be partially offset by funds that will be moved out of the reserves to cover some of the additional contract that this commission has approved during the reporting quarter. we're planning to seek approval from the board of supervisor budget committee for these changes to the program management reserve sometime in september. those requests will be based on the status of the program at the time. i have reported in the past month some unexpected conditions at the calaveras dam project. the geologic features were observed. our team of engineers and geologists are continuing to pursue additional exploration to better characterize the nature and impact of these features. unfortunately, it appears that the latest findings show the impact from the project will actually be more significant than we first anticipated. we learned last week that the permanent will have to be modified. it would require the removal and disposal of a lot of additional material. furthermore, we also
