Samoa Area
The project is a Minor Modification to add a saltwater test well to an existing Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit for renovation of existing facilities and infrastructure within that portion of the property within the coastal permit jurisdiction of the County. A 5-inch diameter test well up to 300 feet in depth will be developed on the site in a location outside of sensitive biological and cultural resource areas. The purpose of the test well is to determine if there is sufficient salt water supply and salinity for prospective aquaculture uses at Redwood Marine Terminal II (RMT II). The existing CDP and CUP allowed facility renovations including new roofing, building siding and access doors, water, wastewater and fire suppression system upgrades, electrical upgrades, and upgraded security fencing. These renovations have been mostly completed and do not expand the facility capacity.
Recommendation
