Document Description
The proposed project would involve the installation of a storage tent at Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal by BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair, Inc. (Applicant) in the city of San Diego, California. In early 2024, the Applicant installed one storage tent within their leasehold and proposes to construct a second tent of approximately the same dimensions and materials for additional storage capacity. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve the installation of a new 80-feet-wide x 170-feet-long x 34-feet-tall industrial fabric tent structure for the purpose of storing additional equipment and interferences from Navy Ships while under maintenance. The new 13,600 square foot tent structure would be held in place using approximately 12 five-ton keel blocks, with one (1) block at all end truss columns. There would be no ground disturbance as existing electrical infrastructure would be used to provide light inside the tent. The storage tent would be constructed using metal frames with a weatherproof canvas to ensure equipment is protected, as required by Navy standards. The new tent would provide additional onsite storage to a currently under-utilized area of the leasehold, would allow for increased operational efficiency, and would reduce the amount of truck trips needed to transport equipment to and from the Applicant’s existing auxiliary warehouse located off-Tidelands. The proposed project would not result in a change or expansion of existing use. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in approximately late 2024 and would take approximately one (1) month to complete, with ongoing maintenance as needed and future removal anticipated. All staging for the proposed project would occur within the Applicant’s leasehold. The Applicant proposes to conduct a review of the structure after one (1) year to determine effectiveness and necessity.
