(ESA) for the environmental clearance of the Heron Bay Shoreline <br />Riprap Repair Project, Project No. 2006.0110. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Heron Bay Maintenance Assessment District provides funding for the on-going <br />maintenance of certain public facilities constructed as part of the Heron Bay residential <br />development. These facilities include landscaping, storm water facilities, marshlands, and the <br />Bay Trail areas. Due to tidal actions, the shoreline requires periodic maintenance to maintain <br />protection of both the residential development and the Bay Trail, including the <br />re-establishment of eroded shoreline areas. <br />Permits are required from several regulatory agencies, prior to performing work on the San <br />Francisco Bay waterfront. These agencies include: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, U.S. <br />Army Corps of Engineers, National Marine Fisheries Service, San Francisco Bay Regional <br />Water Quality Control Board, Bay Conservation and Development Commission, and California <br />Department of Fish and Wildlife. These permits and consultations are necessary to ensure <br />the preservation of endangered species, and the general health of the bay waterfront. <br />Analysis <br />In January 2014, City staff sent out a request for proposal (RFP) to seven (7) environmental <br />consultants for environmental clearance services for the subject project.
