Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement, Bel Marin Keys Unit 5.
Abstract
Home Savings and Loan Association has applied to the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District, for a permit under Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act authorizing the excavation of approximately 9,000,000 cubic yards of earth to construct a 546 acre lagoon. The excavated material would be used to construct streets, levees and building pads for 1178 dwelling units on an additional 189 acres. The application also identifies the proposed construction of a 602 berth marina with deep water access to San Pablo Bay and Novato Creek via a navigational lock. The Marin County Planning Department completed an initial study which identified possible significant environmental impacts. The Corps of Engineers and Marin County have been designated as lead agencies for the preparation of a joint Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) to further identify the potential environmental consequences of the proposed project and several alternatives which were developed by Marin County and the Corps fof Engineers.
