Geotechnical Exploration and Right of Entry License Agreement by Brigantine Inc. at The Fish Market

Geotechnical Exploration and Right of Entry License Agreement by Brigantine Inc. at The Fish Market

The proposed project would involve geotechnical borings, cone penetration testing and a geophysical survey program by Brigantine, Inc. dba The Fish Market in the city of San Diego, California. The purpose of the proposed project is to complete a geotechnical exploration program in support of proposed future redevelopment of the existing Fish Market restaurant. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve: • Drilling two (2) geotechnical borings to a depth of approximately 60 feet below ground surface (bgs). Each boring would be less than 8 inches in diameter. • Advancing three (3) cone penetration test (CPT) soundings to a depth of approximately 100 feet bgs. Each CPT probe hole would be approximately 2 inches or less in diameter. • Conducting a non-destructive and non-invasive geophysical survey that would involve temporary placement of wireless geophones at ground surface to collect readings. The survey would generally consist of placing geophones on the ground surface and recording vibrations generated by active sources (e.g., a sledgehammer) and passive sources (e.g., ambient vibrations from traffic or wind). There would be no drilling or disturbance to the ground during the testing. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in February 2026 and take approximately four (4) days to complete. Staging for the proposed project would require the temporary use of approximately five (5) on-site parking spaces and limited use of street in front of The Fish Market. Temporary traffic control signage would be placed at the site to redirect traffic. Equipment to complete the proposed project would include a truck-mounted drill rig. The borings and CPT probe holes would be backfilled and patched at ground surface to match existing conditions. The proposed project would require a Right of Entry License Agreement (ROELA) to Brigantine, Inc. (Licensee) to enter certain properties located in the city of San Diego, California. The area proposed for use under this ROELA would be used by the Licensee and their authorized agent and contractors for the purpose of geotechnical exploration at two (2) boring sites, three (3) CPT sites, and to conduct a geophysical survey, as well as ingress and egress in support of those activities. No new development, construction, or increase in the size of the area is proposed or authorized as part of the ROELA. It is anticipated that the ROELA would have a total term of approximately two (2) years, or upon completion of the work, whichever occurs earlier. The ROELA may be terminated by the District as a matter of right and without cause at any time upon providing twenty-four (24) hours' notice in writing to the Licensee of such termination. 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.
