Ill walk you through the goals weve set for our facility, how they scale and howthy connechowthey connect tod what were doing on the ground to reflect that and implement that, both now and what is actually coming next. Theres 180 concessioneers to what is an Origin Destination airport. And so, for us, those 58 million passengers we serve, we know already have a really strong environmental ethic and certainly a high expectation out of the airport delivering to a onceinlifetime thing. We contribute to Economic Development in the region and make a Service Payment to the general fund for city use of 45 million a year. The 050100 routes are embedded in the framework and for us, allows us the opportunity in 2016 to go above and beyond that what we know is the airport and airports first set of zero goals. So we are striving by 2021 to be the first airport to receive Carbon Neutrality and zero waste, as well as a suite of other initiatives that are focused on health and resilience and stewardship. For us, we were able do this again because of the baseline for the county of San Francisco and we wanted to motivate the 1800 people that work for the commission so those are employed by the city and county of San Francisco to go above and beyond. So we consider this our moon shot and to quote jfk, we chose go to the moon not because it was easy but because it was hard. We knew this would be a rally cry for the people at the airport to come together to figure out how functionally and operationally how we would achieve these objectives. What we have mapped out here and no reason to Pay Attention to the technical details, but basically, a Carbon Neutral strategy we have put into our greenhouse grass emissions to the department of environment on an annual basis. What our Carbon Neutral pathway is. Scope two emissions which are zero out of the Public Utility Commission but scope one is challenging. Theres a Central Plant by natural gas and once we environment ability to electrify this which we think will fall under the new decarbonization code that has been draftedly likely this commission and the department of environment, well reduce 80 emissions on campus from that one change. So big changes afoot for our airport. Were work on a variety of strategies and ill cover that on the next slide but i want to show you that this looks complicated but we have a stepwise approach to Carbon Neutrality. But in terms of scale, when you look at the airports total impact, relative to our full scope of emissions, so if you include scope 3, what comes from our tenants operations, it grosgrows dramatically. So thats a fraction so when you look at cities and counties themselves and the businesses that operate are the largest driver of your emissions. Its a thumbprint when we look at the landing and talkoffs of our aircraft. So that for us is about 1 1. 75 million mec metric tons. So the airport, actually, has been invited and sfo is one of few that have been invited out of a u. N. Body work on Carbon Neutrality goals. When you look act the growth over time, its the amount of passenger miles are expected to actually double by 2014. So the growth curve is not what were looking for in terms of number one, climate am bush ambs but easy to curb those emissions from. When it relates to emissions in our sector we have a few opportunities. Number one, theyre work on technology. So how do they improve aircraft fleet efficiency working with equipment manufacturers . How do they increase the engine efficiency and two, how do you diversify the fuels or electrify aircraft . And three, looking at the base operations so many run, like, at sfo, a Maintenance Operations facility, they have a physical footprint and need to work on diversification of energy supply. Despite that, weve seen that there has been a dramatic decline in the amount of or in the increase of efficiency of aircraft, but were not going to really get to the Carbon Neutral growth target set by aviation unless we move forward with heightened focus on technology, facility operations and sustainable falls. So searcso sfo is focused on thr hand that. Our global a ambition a am am bl as the employees that call that home for 16 hours a day. Were working on zero energy net design. The projects apply to achieve code minimum and code minimum, as you know, in San Francisco is meeting title 24, cal green state requirements, so very high standards. Through this, weve been making investment and a lot of great systems that you see already being implemented at sfo if you go through the harvey milk terminal one, we have great regenerative energy, Renewable Energy on that property, using cool dynamic glaze and glass and happy to get more into the details of the technology. But were making investments in stride. Our demonstration, debbie mentioned were not afraid to test things out. A 24hour operational facility, it was envisioned to be net zero but we needed to tweak it and make adjustments. We have the first Net Energy Building and happy to give a tour of that property, as well. Were work on decarbonization. The ordinance put forth will help with that, but were proud to have a variety of decarbonized at sfo. Our new campus uses no natural gas, and we have a variety of Airline Lounges that are already cooking and catering gas free and definitely possible at scale and across diverse types and portfolios of buildings. We work on electrifying our ashing. They taxi into the gate. You see wiring connecting to an aircraft, thats a 400hertz pc system running their electronics and shut off their engines so theyre not burning jet fuel sitting in our gates but able to connect to our power for central air for cooling and theres a lot of other things we think are critical to connect into health, as well as the adaptation and resilience strategies. Also for us, work on zero net energy, kale calls scales to thn neutral goals. But were work on other systems across the campus. Our transportation service, were beyond the rental car facility to serve passengers in the longterm parking to the 8 thought8,000 workers to come ons using the carbonfree transportation source. We are swapping out our shuttle bus fleet. Weve just purchased six electric buses active late december, early january. We would love to give you a tour of the campus on those, as well. And then, of course, those things connect to a Broader Network of intermod aral systems that were connected to that work at our airport. We activated a Ferry Service to drop off at jack london square, looking at activating a new line shuttlebus commuter van and bus network to serve people from the east bay. So theres a lot more in terms of growing and expanding but connecting to those that exist and making sure that were maximizing the Transit Services where we can. We work with bart to activate a southbound line and historically, if youre coming from the north, you go directly to the airport, but if youre coming from the south, you had to go to san bruno, change and change into the bart connector. So that actually just got reactivated and were seeing immense passenger growth which is significant and as someone who comes from the south bay, has helped my commute and i know many, many others. I wasnt on that team, sit wasnso itwasnt a personal mot. Thats how we deliver passengers and how do we decarbonize the aircraft. The airport launch the a sustain fuel working group and that has about 180 members that networks airlines, producers and ngos in figuring out how we can structure and get sfo more involved in the conversation around logistics bringing Aviation Fuel to our airport and scale it. Theres only one producer producing 10 million of sustainable fuel in Southern California right now and we really need investment in order to really grow this. Theres more certainly planning on coming online and we completed a report that details that. So we have a sustai sustainable Feasibility Study and making sure we can have the networks, as well as on site Infrastructure Structure and storinstorage facilities so thao can be the largest with Sustainable Fuels and they can reduce emissions by 80 of greenhouse emissions and were committed to do so. Well come back if youre open to it and responsibilityin repod were working to create a california statewide sustainable action plan because we use it over all other states and it fridays 1. 25 additional incentived and we havincentivese california can stay competitive. And then im sure im probably overtime because were energized about this work but a few more slides to talk about how we recognize that its important to build awareness of the impact of emissions from the aviation sector and were building Awareness Among passengers but teaming up with eight other airports across the u. S. To give customers the opportunity to make investments in aviation reducreduction. Right now theyre purchasing Carbon Offsets and were looking to involve the funds to make investments in things like i mentioned, the fuel programme and certainly go more broadly than that. Right now, its scaling up but if you want to take a look or offset your travel, its a brought way so that you know that Carbon Offsets are staying within the sector. Our sector is the hardest to decarbonize. When you look at aviation commissions, its 2 of global emissions right now but in terms of aircraft, its projected to grow up to 30 or 40 by 2040 or 2050. As we work on figuring out how to handle commercial aviation long haul aircraft that can be electrified, these decarbonization options are crucial. And then lastly and very quickly, talking about zero waste, so, we recognise that obviously as we talk about sustainable consumption how we quantify emissions from the embedded carbon, that relate to all of the products we consume and really has an opportunity to drive sustainable behaviour change, sfo was doing the same. As early as 2012 when we opened t2, we created a Sustainable Food and Beverage Programme for tenants for food options and set new targets for us in terms of the types of food categories and products offered to passengers. We look to grow this actually this last year by creating switching out the recyclable products because were finding most are, unfortunately, ending up in our landfill to fully compostable products and we have mostly eliminated all of the recyclable foodware for chemical Free Products and to include water bottle his we are now allowing recyclable aluminum and still compostable products, as well as glass. When we say we eliminate water bottles, we really work on expanding and scaling the hydration stations people have access to across our campus, about 100 now and more so in the future. And that for us was just the start. Were going to be growing and calling the work were doing on zero waste knowing it has a life cycle and end of life. We have great endoflife programmes such as food donation programme. Were starting a programme with rec and park to collect those foods from our new hotel on october 1st. But we need to be more mind effectively thmindfulof product. Were looking at zero waste terminals and we have a great opportunity with boarding h that will pilot that for us. Of course, were looking at the embedded carbon within our materials. Weve deny great work collecting declarations and Health Product declarations on our campus and sharing those throughout the industry. Were here to share that story and really work on supporting them in that journey. We recognize were a global gateway, a Global Network and have global goals and we want to make sure we can do that to scale and expand and ensure we are meeting San Franciscos bold mandate in achieving really a Global Impact that can scale and sustain our future. So thank you for the opportunity to come and share the background and insight in the work at sfo and thank you for your leadership in supporting that as the backbone of all that we do and aspire to. What a great presentation. [cheers and applause] commissioner sullivan . A couple totally unrelated questions. First on the scope three emission, indirect emissions, can you talk about what your limitations are in terms of make awninmaking an impact unitals o make an impact . We have it easier because we environment levers which are largely contract mechanisms. So we have lease agreements through which we contract with our airlines. We have tenant confession agreements to contract with the 188 tenant concession engineers. Contract specifications for all design build work and our own rules and regulations that govern the way that people are able to operate and function on our campus. And all of those things apply to tenant projects which fall under scope three emission. You couldnt you must have your customers purchase Carbon Offsets for flights. Most of our levers relate to onground operations so we could say that they are required to use only sustain Aviation Fuel in their flights. You will be honest in sharing that other airports have approached it that way and scale back that requirement due to thumb onenumber one, theres ane of fuel to meet that mandate, but thats why weve gone more of a voluntary route, signing ten partners to work on voluntary opportunities to get there which is what lead to the Feasibility Study. My second question relates to the ev infrastructure. The airport was one of the first, at least i noticed to have charging stations, which i appreciate. Any plans to expand that . Outside of shortterm parking or just having more charging stations in the shortterm parking garages . It was on one of my slides and i didnt talk about it. We are about a year into the zeroemission vehicle readiness Study Released in either january or february of this year, that looks to it has set targets upon the city and countys goals of 40 of all trips through alternative means, including electrified means. I know its 50. Theres a 40 target zach would know. The electric mobility strategy at a 40 go goal by 2040. Zach knows the ands because hes our guru. We are trying to figure out what the operational to deliver upon those projects and so the answer is definitely yes. I will be also very fortright f, because as we run into our goals, our airport is capacity strained. We are working upstream dealing with substation capacity issues with pg e to make substation upgrades, working and supply side storage but we need to roll that out into tandem with our readiness study or the findings of the readiness study which is very focused on controls. So it will have a load management component to it, as well. Good luck with those challenges. Thank you. We have 230 charging stations right now and looking to add 700 next area. Signage may help to get people to those stations. How many gallons do we use. 1. 1 billion gallons a year. Billion with a b. Yes, so a fraction of that. Im trying to remember off the top of my head and in the next two years, were expecting for at least three other facilities to be operational. One in reno, one in oregon and i forget the town and i should know. And another that is creating small volumes right now out of michigan but will be increasing. So i think the target is or what we understand jok projection toe about 100 million gallons, probably in five years. They also have created and are still work on corsea which is their version of a carbon offset. And cap and trade. So all airlines that Serve International markets are going their emissions will be capped after 2020. So any emissions growth they have, they will have to offset through the carbon reduction scheme and instead of offsetting and buying off sets to make direct investments in the market, including sustainable Aviation Fuel. Youre seeing united and cafe and lutztanza, alaska and southwest starting to either sign offtake agreements with the steel producers which to them says this is a bill of l arladen to go to investors to go to our productions facility in another market. Or theyre an Angel Investor in the companies themselves. So united is a coowner of fulcron energy in reno, nevada. One of the commissioners expressed a desire that people dont get out of it by having flavored water. So if its, you know, all those flavoured waters could still be plastic and are you thinking about that too, somehow . Of course. So when we originally proposed this, we went to our tenant saying what makes this workable and we issued an rfi saying what manufacturers exist and what is your, like, full service line so we know what is available, which is why we are abl able to do c carbonated water. We found the flavoured waters were actually, in many cases, a way to work with more local vendors, because those werent necessarily supplied by the coke and pepsis but more local regional vendors. Weve gone back to them, and, of course, our goal is moving away from plastics entirely. Entirely betwee. You can go online and its amazing to see the vast amount of flat water, carbon thoughted water and electrolyte enhancement waters. 1. 1 billion, is that our half of a trip or the fuel we use . How do you figure out the sfos . It tricky because some aircraft carry fuel with them and its a very complicated market and were do not buy or sell fuel at the airport. All is managed but a fuel consortium but in most cases its up to the airline to fume or not fall up at their locati location. In most cases its driven by economics. How much does it cost at sfo or lax or elsewhere. Its not just for, like, taxiing and we calculate landing and taking off. Its the full flight. Because this is the first ive heard of this, what makes this a Sustainable Airline fuel . It is a fuel resource coming from an alternative pathway so it can be forest residues, waste of energy. It can be things like soybeans saying that does not compete with food resources. It can be ethanol, forest residues, similar to the types of feedstocks for diesel. That is probably the toughest competitor for sustainable oatiosustainable fallsand they w carbon fuel standards than they are to make sustainable Aviation Fuel. To iif we were to flip those technologies, there would be much more. Long haul electric, trucking starting. Commissioner choo. Weve got a gateway or broker set into other airports. We have great partners domestically through that network. San diego, actually, is our southern brother and they have done a lot of really great work. They have a second airport to report carbon nas neutrality and atlanta and dfw have done a lot of great work in the built environment. Atlanta has a lead communitys designation which is cool and very innovative. But i will be honest in saying we do stretch mostly outside of the u. S. So zyric, heathrow, we give customers better choose to Carbon Neutral strategies. Thats our network. We tend to look to them and shared good resources for them. S. What advice would you give us to become better passengers and stewards . Our whole website is oriented that way. Click on the environment and it takes you to your green gateway for Global Travel talking about the passenger journey and were intentional about that. First and foremost, choosing an alternative travel mode to get there is step one and step two, packing light, a way for you to pack less. As a whole person and unit be you weigh less and, of course, bringing reusables. If you can bring things to wear time and time again or have a Reusable Water Bottle or foodware, that lessons your footprint at the airport or final destination. One thing we shy away from saying is ha that if you can fly during the day, theres less of an impact in doing so and its complicated Climate Science but the rationale is that aircraft contrails, emissions that change the albedo of the atmosphere, so it intensifies the Global Warming effect at globalization. But we lake yo like you to fly e because they are going great things to reduce impact as you travel. The last is biCarbon Offsets through the traveler. Any other questions . Do we have any Public Comment on this item . That was very informative and you covered everything. Thank you, appreciate it. [cheers and applause] off adopting a risk pesticide list for city properties, identifying those that may be used on city property, subject to restrictions. The sponsor is deborah fell and speaker is dr. Chris geiger and the explanatory documents are the staff memo. Resolution 201907e, the reduce pesticide list and Public Comment and response. This is for discussion and action. This item was discussed in a policy committee and the Committee Recommended that we off adopt a 2019 reduced risk pesticide list for city properties. Director rafael. So what is before you today, this is an action item and were asking you to approve the latest revision to the pesticide list. This is an item that comes before you on an annual basis. What you will be seeing is a lot of detail. That detail as the president said, was discussed in quite a long policy Committee Hearing on august 12th. It was longer than usual because we wanted to hear from the departments in particular on how they were implementing the recommendations and the changes from past year that the commission has put in place. Put we were also very interested in focusing particularly on workers safety and we wanted to focus this year on workers safety because of the recent lawsuits against monsanto, that people who use these products on a professional basis may not have had the proper information to protect themselves. We wanted to make sure they are a monsanto product or not and what is put in place. Tonights presentation by chris geiger will be much for abbreviated than what the policy Committee Heard and we did not bring City Department representatives to present because, again, the policy committee asked them many questions and we had details. So with ha, i will turn it over to chris geiger. Thank you, director and good evening, commissioners. I cant resist saying this is an inspiring agenda tonight. So i have to say that. So tonight, im going to present to you im going to talk a little bit in abeliev abbreviats about what were putting before you in terms of the revised risk perfecticides list. We have pc and public works and here and these departments are exceptionally committed to this. This is one of my great joys is having such a great group. Im. 8 and nothing could happen without all of these folks. The u ip approach is in the mandate and we have to follow the least risk approach. The restrictions that well talk about tonight, started out as a ban on all pesticides, turning into a system of restrictions. The ordinance allows mechanisms and reimbursements for posting and recordkeeping and Contractor Compliance and an annual public hearing held in july. I always have to have some definition of integrated Perfect Management because i dont think everyone goes around talking about this everyday. If we think about it in terms of the pyramid with the tactics at the boss othe base of the pyramg the least and the top being the most, we live in the realm of preventing perfects and having good maintenance practises and we only go up that power midwhen wpyramid whenwe have to. We have a system in place to ensure we have the safest available for that purpose. This leti should point out thata work meeting as we did every year with the ip coordinators and we used this information from our background screenings of the pesticides along with their information on the ground situations, what works and what doesnt. Are we using the safetiest alternative possible and is it necessary in the first place . In order to gradually improve that list over the years and we have done so for over 20 years now. We take the prevention part of that seriously lately these past few years with prevention guidelines and we now have a draft to for landscapes being reviewed for a large group of professionals and they will be published as a standalone document. This is something that our ipm Technical Advisory Committee is interested in over the years. I dont have a slide for it, but ill take note that we want a grant this year from the department of pesticide regulation, about 160,000 and its before the Board Finance Committee for except and expand to follow up on our previous work in installing perfect prevention measures. So its an overlap with what the earlier speakers were talking about. When you seal out perfects, youre improving Energy Efficiency as well. Were justing getting going on that project. Also, integral to the ipm programme, we have annual training and ipm covering the citys gardeners, public works and we have monthly meetings where we have speakers and continuing Education Credits and we have almost monthly trainings for folks in the programme. There are many other approaches taken to avoid the use of pesticides including mechanical control and were trying to be intellectually honest. It has been quantified theres a cancer risk to inhaling these fumes all day. Our approach to that has been to look for safer mechanical controls. We had Pilot Testing on rechargeable landscaping equipment this year which the new generation of this equipment is much better and longer lasting. The batterying are longer quality. The staff loved this. Were happy that we are able to pull that off. We have been pa Pilot Testing sr techniques to clear up carcinogen and weve had alternative analyses going on for various weed problems and chemical and nonchemical approaches work best. In the news, there have been more than 4,000 cancer victims suing monsanto in various asem blages. The most recent decisions it was stated that quote, all evidence roundup that causes cancer is quite equivocal and strong evidence they dont care whether their product is giving cancer. The justic gift gist of these. Theres no science roundup but we proceeded beyond that once it was categorized as a car since , we started looking for alternatives. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds as the year goes by. Ill talk about Pesticide Use trends and we like to talk about the tier 1, the highest use and city limits. The text covers up the graph there, but in 2015, thats when glyphosate was considered one. This year its 97 from 2010 to 2018 and from 2015, theres a 76 reduction and thats contributed to all of the department collaborators who have worked so hard. In material terms, and some of you have seen a graph like this, in 2010, if you look at the total amount of herbicides in all 2300 acres of city parks, it would have been 60 gallons of herbicide active ingredient. In 201 2018, thats 1. 4 gallons. It was 1. 8 last year. So we made an improvement there, too, which im happy to see. Tout but it ibut that is coveris or more of city parks. I think that is a gold star for the people working on this. With regard to the reduced risk pesticide list, we had our work meetings this year and there is an exceptional number of products that we are switching in and out mos. Most changes are mostly administrative and detailed oriented changes. The three that are of most interest are listed hear, removing one of the two products because it poses a greater work or Health Hazard than the other one. We still have roundup on the list, used in very, very small quantities but there are situations where there is not clearly a safer alternative. Were removing the last of what they call Second Generation rodenticid session, affecting walled life the most. Some of you may remember the tier 1 herbicide with roundup is garlon and were adding a lower risk. It has the same active ingredient but the other ingredients are less hazardous to workers. Ed a way tits a way to move awe garlon use. Language changes this year in restrictions and those of you who were here, you know we spent a lot of time refining this language with our City Partners and with the public and with the commissioners and thanks to you, i think we have really done a good job on this. It has been working and we really did not have very many substantive changes at all. The one minor change is to clarify that it is ok to block a trail as a measure for when a treatment is necessary, its ok just to block it off completely as an alternative to putting up fencing or tape around a treated area
