Location
Within the Commission’s Bay and 100-foot shoreline band jurisdictions, at four locations in Marin and Sonoma Counties:
- At Tower 3/29, north of the Petaluma River (Sonoma County; 38.112097 °N, -122.491998 °W)

- At Tower 2/20, south of Novato Creek (Marin County, 38.873806 °N, -122.498064 °W)
Description
The project would replace four existing electrical towers. Two towers will be removed from tidal marsh habitat in Bay Jurisdiction, two towers will be removed from 100-foot shoreline band jurisdiction. One new tower would be constructed in the Bay, and two towers would be constructed partially in the 100-foot Shoreline Band. To access the sites for tower removal and installation, 1.84 acres of construction matting will be temporarily placed in the 100-foot Shoreline Band, 3.13 acres of construction matting will be temporarily placed in tidal marsh habitat in the Bay, and two barge landings, supported by a total of 91 steel piles and covering 1,200 square feet will be temporarily constructed in the Bay. After construction of the new towers and removal of the existing towers and the temporary construction matting and barge landings is complete, the applicant shall restore all tidal marsh areas, and monitor them for success over at least five years. The project will result in a net removal of towers from BCDC jurisdiction to outside of BCDC jurisdiction, and from the Bay to 100-foot Shoreline Band.

BCDC Permit Application No. M2022.024.00md
Filed on 06/27/23
90th Day on 09/25/23
Location
In the Primary Management Area of the Suisun Marsh, at the Southern Portion of Simmons Island, unincorporated Solano County
Description
Restore approximately 30 acres of managed wetland, open water and upland areas on a managed wetland island in the Suisun Marsh. The project site is hydrologically connected to the other existing managed wetlands on Simmons Island, and the project would restore this site through regrading and vegetation management and planting. The project will result in a net gain in open water and wetland habitat, and a reduction in upland habitat. This project is the culmination of a long-standing enforcement violation of BCDC Consistency Determination No. C1985.006, which required the Port of Stockton to beneficially reuse dredged sediment that was placed on Simmons Island between 1986 and 1996. This project will resolve the enforcement case ER1990.026.00 by reusing the dredged sediment for habitat restoration.

Description
The project would install approximately 86,800 linear feet of two 2-inch-diameter fiber optic cables in the Bay, between underground landing vaults in the 100-foot Shoreline Bands in San Leandro and Brisbane.
