Leffingwell Boat Launch Repair – Geotech Investigation

The California Department of Parks and Recreation is forecasting a project to repair the Leffingwell boat launch at Leffingwell Landing within Hearst San Simeon State Park in Cambria, California. The project aims to extend the operational life of the existing 14-foot wide concrete structure, which is supported by native underlying rock. The scope of work includes coring through the concrete ramp to access three known voids, embedding dowels secured with approved cementitious grout into the adjacent retaining wall or rock for support, pumping approximately 50 cubic yards of concrete into the voids, and patching the original core locations. Additionally, the project involves installing expanded rock slope protection along the beach side profile of the ramp to prevent further erosion. This project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is categorized as a forecast with a posted date of July 2, 2026. According to the Notice of Exemption, the work is considered minor repair and maintenance with no expansion of use, making it categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Classes 1, 3, and 4. The project is expected to have a negligible environmental impact. Brad Michalk, the Statewide CEQA Coordinator, serves as the primary point of contact for the effort.
