San Francisco Public Utilities Commission

Yesterday, the California Coastal Commission voted to approve the Coastal Development Permit for the Ocean Beach Climate Change Adaptation Project.?The project team and commission staff struck a balance between protecting critical wastewater infrastructure serving San Francisco’s westside and maximizing open space (habitat restoration) and public recreational access. ? Failing to protect these critical wastewater treatment facilities could lead to disruptions in sewer service while impacting the ocean and the surrounding environment.?This plan will protect the treatment plant, shielding it from sea level rise and saving ratepayers from the substantial costs of relocating the facility – a process that would take many years and cost billions of dollars. The project team will incorporate the agreed-upon changes into the design and work with the Coastal Commission on the issuance of the project. Based on these steps, we anticipate construction to start in late 2027. https://lnkd.in/giaTGvNU
