Document Description
The proposed project would involve the spot repair and restoration of deteriorated asphalt and eroded areas by Fabrication Technologies Industries, Inc. (Applicant) at their facility lot in the city of National City, California. Due to significantly cracked areas observed in the existing lot, the proposed project would consist of necessary improvements to restore the structural integrity and ensure the safe, continued use of the lot. Additionally, completion of the proposed repairs is a conditional requirement set forth in the lease renewal agreement between the Applicant and the San Diego Unified Port District. Work to specifically complete the project would include the following:
• Grind down damaged and cracked areas up to a depth of 1½ inches, apply a layer of bonding coat, and place and compact new asphalt.
• Remove broken asphalt to a depth not to exceed 4 inches, load and haul off excess material, recompact the subgrade as necessary, and place and compact a full depth asphalt repair.
• Apply a layer of bonding coat to clean up rough and eroded areas, place an asphalt skin patch, and roll for compaction.
• Excavate and grade the existing soil, fine grade and compact the surface, place and compact up to 2 inches of new asphalt surface, and roll for compaction.
Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in April 2025, and would take approximately two (2) days to complete. Completion of the proposed project would require a crew of approximately three (3) personnel.
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.
