Replacement of Pier 3 Electrical Distribution System by BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair, Inc.

The proposed project would consist of the replacement of an aged electrical distribution system supporting Navy and large commercial berthing by BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair, Inc. (BAE) located at Pier 3 on the BAE leasehold in the city of San Diego, California. Work to complete the proposed project would include the removal and replacement of existing high and low voltage distribution equipment, circuits, wiring, and all associated devices including deck mounted substations. The proposed work would be coordinated with existing shipyard activities to minimize disruptions to shore power service and shipyard operations. The proposed improvements would utilize the existing electrical conduits on the pier and would not require ground disturbance or excavation. Work is anticipated to occur in early 2027 and would take approximately two (2) years to complete, with ongoing maintenance as needed. The construction staging area would occur within the BAE leasehold adjacent to Pier 3. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
