Document Description
The proposed project would involve upgrades to the existing shoot house training facility used by the United States Coast Guard located at National City Bayfront. This facility is utilized by U.S. Coast Guard Special Missions Training Center West for unit and mission specific training. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve upgrading the existing plywood training structures and walls to metal materials and adding infrastructure to match the existing training structures. This would include additional Connex boxes with internal stairs and railings, internal and external ladders, windows with shutters, internal pass-throughs, and various hatches, as well as steel walls with support beams and several doors to facilitate training operations. The structures and components would be galvanized when applicable and all surfaces would be painted with commercial grade paint. The proposed infrastructure improvements would require anchoring to the concrete foundation and concrete floor system to ensure stability during use, but this is not a permanent build out and would be removable if needed. The proposed improvements have been sized by the contractor to be install specific to the training facility surface area and would not impact the external shell of the building. All work is to be completed only in the interior of the training facility.
Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in or around November of 2024 and would take approximately one (1) week to complete. No road closures or disruptions to neighboring businesses are anticipated for this project.
Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
