the state water board keeps this online.o when the client called me about this, i said, that is interesting. it is an auto shop from 1914. i wonder if it is on the list. and i called our expert used to run the superfund program. it took them two minutes to say, it is on the list. they can't exempt this from ceqa it was that easy. why that isn't in your staff report is a mystery to me. that should be, in fact, in other cities, and i practised in a lot of cities, under every exemption there is a box. is it on the list? yes or no? san francisco doesn't have that box. if they say yes, they all know you can't exempt it from ceqa. it is black letter law. it is in the statute. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> if i may, i am concerned that not only this comment and disclosure, but the follow-up by dr. kim puts me on notice to want to look at this a little bit more closely. it is a little bit too unnerving i am not blaming the department, but i think when there is testimony to the severity of that, i think it requires us to at least po

to successfully come to a set of voluntary agreement that's can be reviewed by the state water resources control board as an alternative to their action to approve the water quality control plan last december. and i most recently reported, things are moving slowly on that front and the state is still working through numerous issues internally within itself. there was a hope and expectation that by mid-october the analysis would be ready to go forward to the state water resources control board. that did not happen and the projection is that might be ready by the end of the calender year or by mid-december, since the last two weeks of the year people tend to not be around. and so, we are hopeful that that can happen. i am not 100% confident that will happen. hopefully we will make progress with the state on the important matter. and that's all there is to report. >> president caen: any comments, commissioners? any public comments on that item? yes, peter. >> peter jackmire. the voluntary agreements it sounds good. voluntary, it's an agreement. there's really no faith from the environmental community tha

what i hope goes into that presentation is that we are potentially facing, with the state board's water plan a significant water supply problem in the city that will take significant investments in order to fix. the projects that we have been approving don't change that picture in any material way. sort of like we are in a jam either way, and it changes that a little bit, but not by a significant percentage. one of the objectives i had in getting to the planning commission was to let them know that in our future we may have to come to them with projects to help fill a water supply deficit that will require the planning department approvals. they need to know that. because we are making -- approving water supply assessments, that is the correct thing to do, but they also shouldn't take that as evidence that things are okay. as we look to the future there are challenges that they will be in the position of helping us make. >> commissioners, i would advise we agendize this for a future meeting. this is just new purpose and the purpose is to ask for future items for the calendar. i think we

there are the current, new legislative requirements making water conservation in california way of life. my staff members are going to the state board talking to them about how we are implementing that on a regional basis. she gave a whole day primer to them about the efforts we are taking to really challenge our agencies to really reduce their use and figure out what that means moving forward. i would be pleased to give you an update on that as that report gets closer to being done. that information is going to roll into this demand study. all of the actions of what further conservation can be do done. we have a big focus on outdoor use certainly. also implement things like recycled water. our agencies are very proud of the fact that they implement recycled water. many parts of the service area. particularly in the south bay. that said. they also do not want to pay for projects that they don't need. they also are concerned about the bottom line to the fact that they can reduce investments that you make. they pay two thirds of every dollar. they are very interested i don't think there is a competition here for this idea of trying to
