Final Environmental Impact Report Volume 3, May 2016

This Attachment to the 24th Street Final EIR provides information that was inadvertently
omitted from Volume 3 of the Final EIR of May 2016, and provides corrections to the text of the
Final EIR, Volume 3. This additional information includes portions of four comment letters and
an Errata Sheet.
1.0. Supplemental Information from Comment Letters
1.1 Judith Harniman (GP-215). On February 25, 2015, Judith Harniman submitted a
supplement to her previously submitted comment via email. Her supplemental comment was
inadvertently omitted from the 24th Street Final EIR, May 2016, that was circulated on May 6,
2016. The supplemental comment, designated as GP-215-25 to follow prior comments from Ms.
Harniman, is attached hereto along with a response.

research publications concerning glyphosate (an active ingredient in Roundup herbicide) that

Research on Cancer Monographs Volume 112: evaluation of five organophosphate insecticides
and herbicides has been reprinted herein. The full text of the second publication entitled
Glyphosate’s Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the
Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases, published in 2013 by Anthony Samsel and
Stephanie Seneff, is available at http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/15/4/1416/htm

submitted a comment, which was responded to in the 24th Street Final EIR, May 2016.

The substance of the comment was inadvertently omitted but is included herein

comments from The Families of Cedar Street was inadvertently omitted. This email message,

Response to Comment Letter GP-215
Comment
Code Response
GP-215-25
The commenter expresses concerns about the safety of the proposed project, and
requests justification for approval of the project. The proposed project has not
yet been approved. Project approval or disapproval would follow the
certification of the FEIR; certification of the FEIR has not yet been considered
by the City.
Traffic safety is addressed in the 2013 FEIR/2012 DEIR; this issue is not
addressed in the R-DEIR, and is therefore out of scope. Please see Master
Response No. 16 – Issues Out of Scope of the R-DEIR (Traffic Study). However,
the City had responded to comments made by Judith Harniman during the
circulation of the Draft EIR/EA, 2012 as can be found in V2, Response to
Comment Letter GP-179.
