Issuance of General Lease – Protective Structure Use – Lease 8298

The California State Lands Commission is authorizing the issuance of General Lease 8298 for Protective Structure Use, which allows for the use of existing bulkhead protection on sovereign land. The lease is located in the Main Channel of Huntington Harbour, adjacent to 3332 Venture Drive in Huntington Beach, Orange County. The proponent for this action is William Newfield, acting as Trustee of the William and Ruth Newfield Family Trust. The lease is scheduled to begin on April 1, 2025, for a term of six years. Because the project involves existing facilities and will not cause physical environmental changes or alter existing activities in the area, it is categorized as exempt under Class 1 of the Notice of Exemption. Christopher Hall serves as the primary environmental scientist and point of contact for this action.
