This process will ensure that no impact on adjacent bay waters will occur. 2. The proposal entails removal only of existing facilities and no replacement development is anticipated at this time.

Removal of this bayside industrial activity will reduce visual impacts due to the existing industrial facility. 4. The project site is privately owned and adjacent to a major public utility operation, both of which have the need for restricted access. Bay waters adjacent to the property are currently in use as evaporation ponds for the power plant located to the north and do not afford the opportunity for public access or recreational use of bay waters.

Project Se'tting The site is totally developed with plant equipment, foundations, walkways and gravel There is no vegetation or wildlife present. It is recommended as a condition of approval that the site be cleared of all above and below ground structures including foundations. The property within the project boundaries is privately owned and is adjacent to San Diego Bay. However, the Bayside portion of the site borders along water evaporation ponds utilized in conjunction with the South Bay Power Plant located to the north and does not provide recreational opportunities. Also, public access to the site has been restricted due to the need for security of the public utility functions. B. Project Description The project involves approximately 6 acres of property currently developed with a San Diego Gas & Electric Company Liquified Natural Gas facility located just south of the South Bay Power Plant. The applicant proposes to dismantle and remove the entire LNG facility which will be accomplished in two phases. The first phase will entail removal of the existing plant which consists of control buildings, gas turbines, various heaters and tanks, compressors etc. To avoid the delay of sale and removal of the plant, the coastal development permit will be limited to phase I, the plant itself. Phase II, the removal of the (2) large LNG storage tanks which are currently empty of substance will be processed under a separate, future permit. This Negative Declaration, however, does involve both phases of the project. city of chula vista planning department environmental review section -2- Due to the past storage of potentially flammable and/or toxic liquids a'~ materials, removal of facilities will require Fire Department review L approval.
