Permit No. 3338-1- Ames Private Boat Dock Project

The California State Lands Commission has authorized the issuance of a General Lease for Recreational Use beginning June 23, 2026, granting Mark E. Ames and Deborah A. Ames the right to construct and operate a private boat dock and associated facilities for a term of ten years. The project, known as Permit No. 3338-1 Ames Private Boat Dock Project, is located in Sacramento, California, and is intended solely for recreational boating purposes. The lease permits the development of a dock and appurtenant structures necessary for private maritime use, subject to compliance with state environmental and land management regulations. Christopher Hall, Environmental Scientist with the California State Lands Commission, serves as the primary point of contact for regulatory and operational matters related to the permit, and is also listed as the project applicant alongside the Ameses, indicating direct involvement in both administrative and applicant roles. The permit was posted on July 8, 2026, and is part of a broader framework of state oversight for recreational use of public waters and submerged lands. The project is subject to ongoing compliance with environmental conditions and the terms of the General Lease, with no indication of competitive bidding or set-aside provisions, and the lease will remain in effect for the full ten-year period unless otherwise terminated by the Commission or the lessees.
