Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has issued an ITP (No. 2081(b)-2026-020-07), pursuant to Section 2081(b) of the Fish and Game Code to Martin Marietta Marine Operations, LLC (Permittee).
The Project involves continued commercial hydraulic sand mining operations on four California State Land Commission Leases, comprised of nine separate parcels, in Central San Francisco Bay between Angel Island and the Presidio of San Francisco. Project activities include hydraulic sand mining and sand offloading. This operation provides local marine aggregate for use in highway construction, building construction, base and fill material, ingredient in ready-mix concrete and asphalt, and climate resiliency projects within the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
The Project will result in impacts to Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys), and white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) and their habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of white sturgeon, which are designated as a candidate species, Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon and longfin smelt, which are designated as a threatened species, and Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, which are designated as an endangered species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under California Endangered Species Act that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
