摘要

Navigating the environmental maze of permitting and mitigation for a major construction project can be daunting. The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) recently embarked on a major project to seismically upgrade San Pablo Dam. During environmental review of the project, it became apparent that construction activities would impact jurisdictional wetlands and special status species habitat in the vicinity of San Pablo Dam. Consequently, permitting and mitigation for these impacts were required by both State and Federal regulatory agencies. Due to the sensitive environmental setting and in order to avoid project delays, strategies to keep the permitting effort on schedule included engaging regulatory agency staff on a number of different levels, maintaining communication throughout the entire process, and preparing project support documentation. EBMUD worked cooperatively with the United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and California Division of Fish and Game to determine environmental concerns and gain buy-in on the construction project. EBMUD and its consultants made a conscious and consistent effort to respond to agency comments and concerns. As requested by agency staff, EBMUD prepared impact maps, mitigation plans, wetland delineations, financial assurances, draft opinions, and project descriptions as supportive material. By implementing the above strategies, EBMUD secured permits on time and costs related to construction delays were avoided, thus allowing EBMUD to emerge from the regulatory maze with a minimum of twists and turns.
