Mr. Swift said it depended upon when and whether the issue had a major impact on the design of the project. Most development projects of this magnitude try and resource the major issues of concem to the community prior to the initial approval and take care of the technical issues at a subsequent stage. It is up to the City Council as to when and if the study should be done. Mayor Tarver said he did not hear anyone from San Franciscostate a supplemental environmental impact report was going to be done or that the CEQA document would be changed in any way. He only heard that the item was being continued to explain the status of the EIR document and to address the twenty-seven issues raised. He asked if there was an intention to change the document that the Planning Commission was about to vote on. Is the report being amended or is the vote being delayed for thirty days? Mr. Swift said the Environmental Impact Report cannot be changed in thirty days. The vote is being delayed. Mayor Tarver understood nothing was going to change in the next thirty days. Mr. Roush said the change is that San Francisco is prepared to sit down with the community and Council to address the concerns, but not change the environmental document. -- Mayor Tarver felt this would happen anyway after the Planning Commission took action. Mr. Roush agreed. The issue is timing. Ms. Ayala asked where Mr. Moralson heard that the property was contaminated. · Mr. Morrison said while he was attending a seminar being held at the Livermore City Council Chambers he learned about the nuclear laundry in Pleasanton. He said the draft EIR period had closed, so he contacted a radiological health branch in Sacramento and contacted Dublin San Ramon Services District where he gathered information and presented it to the City's Hazardous materials personnel. They indicated that they could not do any studies until it received authority from the Planning Commission or City Council. He also presented information to the Planning Commission. Ms. Michelotti asked if he found a conclusion about contaminants in the Dublin San Ramon Services District information. Mr. Morrison said the conclusion of the report was that the nuclear waste that was readily dispersible in water was reconstituted in sludge and became more concentrated. The sludge that contained nuclear waste was deposited onto the San Francisco property. Ms. Dennis thought a previous investigation had been done on the site years ago.
