Issuance of General Lease – Recreational and Protective Structure Use – A5131

The California State Lands Commission is authorizing the issuance of General Lease A5131 for Recreational and Protective Structure Use to Jay M. Gardner and Pamela J. Simonson, acting as trustees of The Gardner-Simonson Family Trust. The lease is for a 10-year term beginning February 1, 2026, and covers the use of an existing dock, appurtenant facilities, a retaining wall, and a levee area. The subject area consists of filled and unfilled sovereign land located in the Napa River, adjacent to 1836 Milton Road in Napa, California. This project is categorized as a Notice of Exemption under Class 1 for Existing Facilities, as it is determined that the lease will not cause physical environmental changes or significant effects. The action is handled as a non-competitive issuance to the named proponents. Administrative oversight is provided by the California State Lands Commission, with Christine Day serving as the Senior Environmental Scientist and primary point of contact.
