this is a watershed problem. a watershed problem. lichte: the watershed encompasses many municipal boundaries and it doesn't know any local politics. narrator: in the pittsburgh system, 83 cities and towns use the same sewage treatment plant -- alcosan. so all 83 municipalities have to work together to address the problem. schombert: we know we have billions of dollars that will have to be spent over the next 15 to 20 years. you can't do that wisely when you have 83 separate government agencies making decisions. the municipal consent orders and the alcosan consent decree require that the municipalities participate in a long-term, regional wet weather control plan. narrator: the information gathered in the initial research phase of the wet weather control plan will inform the large-scale infrastructure overhaul. and, as this research moves forward, pittsburgh is also working with environmental groups that are cleaning up the watershed. woman: make that connection. man: like a mural on the side of a building? woman: $5.00 to get in. ma

i wanted to recognize our watershed environment program coordinator. when we presented in december about all of our projects, karla had a chance to generally describe a lot of different things. this was one of the things we highlighted as a priority, this lease and project. usually, i asked her to just orchestrate. this was one of the cases where she had to orchestrate and go out and pick up the pieces and make the whole thing happened almost from scratch. real estate, finance, external affairs and our general manager -- everybody had a hand in this because of its complexity and the way it deals with all parts of the uc. the first lease was four and a half years ago. it was an experiment. we did our best to estimate what we thought needed to be done, and we are back hand out to set the stage for the next five and a half years. that is why it took in some cases months to pull things together. we are generally staffed out in this area right now on issues like this. in a lot of ways, i want to recognize some bell and her staff for having built this gap wi

but even separate systems pollute the watershed. in developed areas, concrete and other impervious services prevent water from naturally soaking into the land. as the rainwater moves over the roads and concrete expanse, it captures trash and invisible chemicals, sending them straight to the nearest waterway -- untreated. when engineers first designed america's water infrastructure -- the drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems -- they were some of the most advanced in the world. but the infrastructure is growing old. and population growth and development, particularly in urban areas, have made it difficult for original system designs to meet modern health standards and reliably satisfy demand. man: our water and wastewater systems really are engineering marvels. because it's buried, it's invisible to us, and we tend to take it for granted. that's a mistake. like any engineered system, it requires maintenance and periodic rehabilitation, and eventual replacement. it's so out of sight and so out of mind, that we don't reali

and understand how the natural resources integrate with the farm and filter between the farm and watershed, and it is a great opportunity for kids to come and dig in. over 1000 plants have been planted here by many in small and big, and many of the community have come out to make that happen as well. wildlife restoration is important there. in recent months, the local eagle scouts have established owl boxes, and you see some have the box birds sitting in the spring bargains. celebration has been part of this from the beginning as well. up above our folks from the east bay regional park district, and we tremendously appreciate the support on the ground and in getting us to this point. i just wanted to say that i look forward to working with you in the coming few years to develop a watershed and in three or so years, celebrating with you again as the great center is completed, so, please, help yourself to strawberries and tomato seedlings, and again, thank you so much. >> i would just like to thank you. i have known you for many years, and she is doing god's work, and the work is really rema

and, as in pittsburgh, as in new york, part of the answer lies in protecting the watershed. nelsen: we need to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces in our watershed, which are surfaces that don't let the water soak in and then create more pervious surface, whether it's by having driveways that allow water to soak in or different landscaping to try to eliminate the amount of runoff that comes off our land so that the system, even with the development it has, acts more like a natural system and filters that water. water quality and sewage infrastructure isn't the sexiest of political agendas, but by raising the awareness about water quality issues, we can create political pressure to get our issues solved. about 15 years ago, surfrider activists were protesting a beach for being polluted. the city council asked the police to escort them away. there was complete denial of the problem. 15 years later, water quality is on the agenda of every city council person in that local city, and that's completely a result of activists forcing the issue, surfrider and other local groups,

habitat reserve program and watershed improvement program. during the reporting quarter, we reached $2.3 billion worth of product construction. if later today you approve the construction, the piece of the pie will grow by $423 million. during the quarter, the replacement project went from this, and we also had three projects move into construction. that would be the water improvement project, the dam project, and the replacement project. as of april 2, we completed construction on two-thirds of our regional projects. another familiar slide where we compare the variances on schedule and costs from the last reporting quarter to this quarter. you can see that we are forecasting program costs to be $148 million less than the approved budget. that is on the regional side. this is a $27 million reduction in the savings we had accumulated under the approved budget. the forecasted completion of the regional program is now eight months later than what was reported in the previous quarter. this is still tied to the project. i will explain that later i

there are four different distinct watersheds a different phases of the -- at different phases of the program there. next, on treasure island proper, we have analyzed conclusions of concern for each difference land use and adapted our treatment to each of those different areas. and then we had divided the island further into different watersheds, based on the phasing, the soil and other issues, we can link the treatment with the infrastructure development. vice president moran: so your role is a consultant to the development? >> that is correct. vice president moran: where else have you applied for this advice? -- where else have you provided this advice? >> we have worked elsewhere in san francisco. we have helped several other large water treatment facilities within the bay area. vice president moran: right. so your expertise is really the bay area then? >> right. the bay area. vice president moran: and you think we are ok now? >> in terms of the treatment measures? vice president moran: are we taking the appropriate steps here in san francisco to do with the issue? >> yes. i think

as you know, that is a watershed where they want to located. because trash is not inspected, there is no saying as to the toxicity of users in these dumpsites. although san francisco has a wonderful recycling program, other counties have nothing at all. so their trash mixed with our trash, and if there is a contamination problem, there is no saying where it comes from, and it could very well be laid on san francisco. commissioner campos: thank you. next speaker. >> ♪ well, hello, lafco and recology make it good, recology it is so nice to have you back where you belong the city is looking swell, recology i can tell, recology you are still going you are still growing you are still hauling strong one of those -- i will take up all those old-time landfill garbage from way back when golly, gee, board fellas why don't you recycle it up, and then you will sell them make it better, recology, once again ♪ [applause] >> sometimes you need a song to take all the tension out of the room. commissioner campos: next speaker. >> hello. i cannot very well top t

the commission has set a deadline at the end of 2018 to revisit that limitation off of the watersheds. there is no other policy decision out there, we extended that supply limitation to 2035. that is 184 allocated to the wholesale customers collectively. this includes the demand of san jose and santa clara. this assumes that they would stay at a temporary and intractable basis. this allocates $81 million per day to the retail system. what this shows are the unrestricted purchase restrictions. if we did not impose the supply limitations and what you see here is the demand is down currently so the customers to not exceed 184 based on their projections until sometime after 2020, somewhere between 2020 and 2025. this does increase the demand projections to 198 million gallons per day. this gives us an indication of about $14 million -- for 2 million gallons per day. that will help to form the basis for the decision in the future. it shows a fairly flat picture for san francisco. there has been many employment projections. conservation was the last commission meeting, at least as an inform

certain amount of water from the watershed. there is an insurance where we get what is left. last year, 2010, according to sfpuc statistics, the total retail demand of 77.7, subtracting that from 81, you get 3.3 left. the underutilized or unutilized areas, before the changes, over $60,000. please multiplying that by $2.40 per person, which is the average city-wide persons in a household, according to the puc, and then we will multiplied that by next gallons per day, and you get over 60,000, times 2.4, times 50, over 7 million gallons per day more that we need to supply if we are going to max out that 60,000., 95 units that are already underutilized at capacity. where are we going to get that?

difference in the whole sequence of events and the amount of regional apple will broadcast was a big watershed in the. many scientists became concerned and actually i think a lot of the movement to start nuclear weapons testing wasn't about the future of the war it was actually an environmental and health concern that this thing is affecting us and our children every day. they started to keep or to monster like aig. so many miscarriages and. rape like fetuses and. my mom has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby that looked like a crate and that made me stand but i have a abuses or it is an alien or is not even a human being. in december two thousand and five the marshallese presented the american government pictures of deformed babies born with gray hair and without ears a baby survived for only a few weeks the abnormal births you've seen photographs of of recent children i don't know that those can be attributed to any exposure and no one is investigating to find out are they in general radiogenic or are they caused by something else that's a question that may well remain unanswered.
