Buccaneer Lift Station and Force Main Project

The City of Oceanside is seeking approval for the Buccaneer Lift Station and Force Main Project, which includes the construction of a new wastewater lift station and force main to redirect flow from the La Salina Wastewater Treatment Plant to the San Luis Rey Water Reclamation Facility. The project also encompasses upgrades to existing stormwater treatment infrastructure, the undergrounding of an electric distribution line, and the development of public amenities such as a parking lot, bike and pedestrian path, and enhanced site landscaping. These improvements are intended to modernize regional wastewater management, improve environmental compliance, and increase public access and recreational opportunities along the corridor. Approvals requested include a Development Plan, a Regular Coastal Permit, and a Conditional Use Permit to ensure all regulatory and land use requirements are met. The project is located in Oceanside, California, with a ZIP code of 92054, and is being spearheaded by the City of Oceanside through its planning and infrastructure departments. Primary contact for inquiries is Shannon Vitale, Principal Planner, who can be reached via email or phone, with additional coordination handled by Vanessa Toscano, Project Manager. The project was posted as a forecast on June 9, 2026, and is part of a broader initiative to enhance wastewater resilience, reduce environmental impact, and integrate sustainable community features into urban infrastructure. All necessary permits and environmental reviews are being pursued through the California Environmental Quality Act process as indicated by the provided CEQA Net link.
