Permit Application No. M2021.018.00

Filed on 11/15/22

90th Day on 02/13/23

Location

Within the Commission’s Certain Waterway Jurisdiction, at the Hal Brown Park, 255 Bon Air Road, in an unincorporated area of Marin County.

Description

Replace an existing 540-square-foot wooden pedestrian bridge and connected asphalt path with a new 120-foot-long steel bridge elevated above the marsh, remove bridge abutments and boulders and restore the underlying tidal marsh areas, and regrade an approximately 1,300-square-foot area of tidal wetlands to improve tidal circulation. Currently, the bridge and path through the marsh flood regularly, therefore the new bridge will be entirely elevated above the tidal marsh and the new abutments will be constructed outside of the marsh area and BCDC jurisdiction. The project includes a net removal approximately 600 square feet of solid fill in the marsh area, and will result in 1,200 square feet of improved public access for the new bridge and pathway.
