APPROVED. San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Permit — Clean Water Act, Section 401 Water Quality Certification
STATUS: Final management review (as of 5/29/24), now approved.
This permit application required the final Eelgrass Mitigation Plans to be complete and submission was therefore delayed until NMFS/CDFW approval of the mitigation plan. The permit application was first submited in October 2022 but was returned on 4/14/23, deemed incomplete due to lack of eelgrass mitigation plans and Final CEQA document.
A new application was again submited on 2/05/2024 (with updated permit attachments), along with payment of the permit fee, following completion of a CEQA Notice of Determination, agency approval of the eelgrass mitigation plans and preparation of final CAD engineering design plans.
On 4/09/24, RWQCB staff informed the District that we needed to re-submit the application once again. The District re-signed and submited the application a third time.
RWQCB staff notified District consultant on May 29, 2024 that the application was under review by management and expected that the permit would be signed during the week of June 3rd, 2024.
Once the permit is signed then Army Corps can issue their permit then GFNMS (Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary) assumedly will review the Corps’ permit and sign off on the National Marine Sanctuaries Permit.
