Applicant: Perfecto De Ocampo, Assistant Engineer, Engineering and Construction, Date Approved: January 11, 2017 Revised: October 30, 2017 Project Description:
The proposedprojectinvolvesthe replacementand reconstructionof existingroadwaysand storm drain system installation at Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal in the City of San Diego. The project proposes work to be done exclusively on berths 10-7 and 10-8 of the marine terminal. Work to complete the proposed project would include the following:
Removal and disposal of approximately 35,000 square feet ( ft) of existing asphalt pavement; Removal of existing base;
Excavation of approximately 5000 cubic ft of soil;
Installation of approximately 500 linear ft of trench drain; Installation of approximately 165 linear ft of storm drain; Re - compaction of base; and,
Placement of hot -mix asphalt and/ or concrete pavement.
Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to begin in December 2017 and extend through March 2018, for a total construction period of approximately four months. Due to its limited scope, constructionof the proposedprojectwouldgeneratea minoramountof vehicletrips; thus, impactsrelatedto air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur.
Furthermore, the project applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regulating stormwater, and construction demolition debris recycling.

Project: Storm Drain Infrastructure Retrofits at Various Locations within District Tidelands Location: Shelter Island, Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal, and National City Bayfront Parcel No.: Various
Project No.: 2025- 005
Applicant: Hector Arias, Assistant Engineer, Engineering -Construction, San Diego Unified Port District,
Date Approved: 2/ 7/ 2025
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project would involve the installation of approximately 10 trash capture devices within existing storm drain systems by the San Diego Unified Port District ( District) in the cities of San Diego and National City, California. The proposed project would include three (3) locations: Shelter Island Location 1) within the main parking lot between Shelter Island Drive and Anchorage Lane; Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal ( Location 2) from Pier 15B to Crosby Road; and National City Bayfront ( Location 3) on Tidelands Avenue between W 28th Street and Bay Marina Drive. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would include the following:
Location 1:
Clear debris from and protect existing storm drains in place.
Modify existing catch basins with grate inlet filters at Inlets # 1146, # 1147, # 1148, and # 1150.
Location 2:
Clear debris from and protect existing storm drains in place.
Modify existing catch basin with grate inlet filter at Inlets #TAMT104 and #TAMT105.
Modify existing catch basin with connector pipe screen at Inlet ENTER_ 1063.
Location 3:
Clear debris from and protect existing storm drains in place.
Modify existing catch basin with double grate inlet filter at Inlet #NC2- 1.
Modify existing catch basin with connector pipe screen at Inlet #2560.
Modify existing catch basin with curb inlet filter at Inlet #2561.
Construction of the proposed project would occur in Spring of 2025 and would take approximately two (2) days to complete, with ongoing installations, modifications, and maintenanceas needed. Installationof each trash capture device would require a crew of approximately three ( 3) personnel. Location 1 would involvethe temporary closureof approximatelythree (3) parkingspacesfor each of the four (4) devices to be installed. These- spaces would only be closed for approximately two ( 2) hours at a time, and would reopen once each device has been installed. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the District would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
The proposed project would be a part of the District' s implementation of the San Diego. Bay Water Quality Improvement Plan, a requirement of updated stormwater regulations adopted by the Regional Water QualityControl Boardto protect, preserve, enhance, and restorewater quality of receivingwater bodies.
Installation of the proposed devices would prevent the discharge of trash through the District's storm drain system and help achieve District compliance with the California State Water Resources Control Board's State Water Board) Trash Amendments. Any trash capture devices proposed will need to have certification from the State Water Board as a Full Capture System Device prior to installation.
