Vallejo Ferry Terminal Reconfiguration Project

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SOL-57090-R3 with the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority for the Vallejo Ferry Terminal Reconfiguration Project. Represented by Chad Mason, the project involves the removal and replacement of an existing gangway, passenger float, and associated piles to extend the terminal 200 feet further into the Napa River. This reconfiguration is designed to reduce the frequency of necessary maintenance dredging from every four years to every 20 years, thereby ensuring safer and more efficient ferry service operations. The project is scheduled to occur within one construction season, with in-water work specifically restricted to the window between August 1 and November 30, although geotechnical borings may occur outside this timeframe. To maintain continuous ferry service during construction, a temporary passenger float will be utilized. A Notice of Determination issued on August 18, 2026, confirms that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment within the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, based on a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
