MCSD Sewer Crossing Retrofit Special Permit and Coastal Development Permit
Record Number: PLN-2025-19446
Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN): Listed in Attachment 1C
A Coastal Development Permit (CDP) and Special Permit (SP) for McKinleyville Community Services District to retrofit the three U.S. 101 sewer crossings that drain wastewater from the east side of U.S. 101 to the west side where the District's treatment facility is located. A Special Permit is required for major vegetation removal to facilitate the retrofit. The proposed replacement method for each highway crossing is Horizontal Auger Boring (HAB). A previous CDP (PLN-2025-19282) authorized geotechnical drilling to determine appropriate design parameters. The retrofitted sewer crossings would increase earthquake resiliency of the utility above current conditions.
