Pier 92 Modernization and Plant Replacement Project

The Pier 92 Modernization and Plant Replacement Project, managed by the City and County of San Francisco, involves the reconstruction and modernization of an existing sand processing facility at the Port of San Francisco. The project aims to improve environmental controls through the construction of an enclosed warehouse, the installation and upgrading of equipment, the paving of vehicle and equipment areas, and the implementation of a modern stormwater management system. To accommodate these improvements, the facility is seeking to expand its lease area by 34,371 square feet, increasing the total footprint from 190,299 to 224,600 square feet. The project also includes obtaining an Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate from the Bay Area Air District with a proposed annual throughput limit of 800,000 tons. Construction is expected to last up to seven months and will involve the excavation or disturbance of 3,305 cubic yards of soil, while sand processing operations remain active. Environmental reviews conducted under CEQA have identified potential impacts on archaeological resources, which will be managed via accidental discovery procedures, and have addressed public concerns regarding air quality within the Bayview environmental justice community. Key coordinating agencies include the San Francisco Planning Department, the Port of San Francisco, the Bay Area Air District, and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. The project has undergone a comprehensive environmental impact report process with final certification hearings scheduled for October 2026.
