for us at the lake. lastly, when you put those two projects together with the vista grande project, typically you would end up at 6 feet or very close to where the lake is now. we can adjust these and operate them somewhat differently, but the basic message when you put the three of those together, it's basically they counteract each other and we have a net reasonable effect only the lake. if you do just one or the other of two groundwater projects you push the lake the wrong way, one way the wrong way and one way the other way and the other thing to mention is the bars around the edge represents the range of conditions. one thing we do need to understand here, in times of drought, you know, the lake level would naturally drop and it will drop as well using the different projects. so that normally, the lake will be at a good level, but in time of drought when we are all suffering, the lake will suffer as well and we'll have to find ways to manage around that. >> go ahead. >> the chart is confusing to me.

this will be a responsibility that san francisco has as part of the lake, we own the lake. the problem is ours. so we'll be bringing a project forward to deal with the water quality issue in lake merced. the question that came up, particularly at the hearing out in lake merced was impacts from the pacific rod and gun club and lead and in the water column we have not detected any lead. lead itself is not taken up through the other mechanisms that you see, mercury, big fish eating little fish over time and in the case of lead, the effects where it's actually ingested directly. so we have no evidence that fish are accumulating lead. but as part of the clean-up action out there, we're going to be performing an ecological risk assessment of any effects that lead in the lake might have to make sure that we're all quite confident that either it is or it isn't causing a problem. and if it's causing a problem, we have to do something about it. at least our evidence so far it's not causing a problem. so in conclusion, lake merced is central to three key water supply projects west side

the sewer system project will affect runoff into the lake, so the quality of lake will be affected by the system improvement program and finally, the vista grande project is a project that daly city is pursuing that i mentioned a couple of times to the commission that would provide more drainage into lake merced and we want to make sure that is of high-quality and there is a little i that i want to highlight for the commission that it's a problem that we have to solve. the interrelated projects are listed here. with the supply levels we expect from these in the case of regional groundwater storage and recovery project, that is dry-year supply 7.2npg and it's focused on dry-year benefit for the system. also there is one typo here from the version you have. it's phase 2 completion of the san francisco groundwater project would be in 2018, not phase 1. let me talk about each these individually. first the west side recycled water project is proposing to irrigate golden gate park plus lincoln park and presido and environmental review begins later this year. the key thing there is that as b

this is from the lake, looking back up towards the playground. you can see the neighboring buildings in the background and this wonderful backdrop of trees that we have really tried to take advantage of. some of the climbing structures are visible in the foreground there, again, built out of these sort of tree trunks, almost looks like a logjam kind of and then the river and the concrete slide in the center of the frame. thank you. >> hello, commissioners, my name is abigail maher and i am here to talk about the mou, and the donor recognition program and the grant acceptance. did you have questions for aaron? >> why don't you go ahead. >> great. so the mou that you have before you today for approval outlines the cooperative relationship between the department and the parks alliance, they are acting as a fiscal sponsors for the friends of mountain lake park playground. as you have just seen the proposed plan for the renovation is truly unique and like other community-driven projects like the most recent playground in lafayette park and mission dol

we have been monitoring the lake regularly since 1997. lake merced is officially designated as "impaired" for dissolved oxygen and high ph and that is a listing pursuant to the section of the clean water act, and as "impaired," that carries particular consequences with it. and so it's significant because a, we need to solve the problem. but b, it constrains the ability to get a permit for the vista grande project. putting the vista grande water back in the lake constitutes a new discharge under the clean water act and you cannot permit a new discharge while a body of water is impaired and we have to come up with a solution of the impairment of lake merced. we're looking at lake mixing and potential runoff controls as potential ways to do that. this will be a responsibility that san francisco has as part of the lake, we own the lake. the problem is ours. so we'll be bringing a project forward to deal with the water quality issue in lake merced. the question that came up, particularly at the hearing out in lake merced was impacts from the pa

the most incredible is about this lake. when full it's the fifth largest fresh water state in the state of maine. it is lovely except when it's not because florida power and light, which owns the dam that the lake is on, when they drain the whole thing too far in order to use the outflow from the lake to make power downstream, flagstaff lake is not very pretty anymore nor does it smell very good. the dam is florida and light's dam so they get to do what they found. it's also surrounded by homes. it's the swimming and boating lake for that part of maine. the state has an interest too. the people who live in that part of maine have an interest too. they have been fighting to try to limit some of the deep, deep draw downs of the lake water at least in the summer months. you lose a couple feet here and people have to haul in their boats. you get big mud flats. you can get sand storms if they drain too much. federal energy regulators are involved in setting the rules for something like for so much they can draw the lake down. the
