SFPUC approves Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel and adopts CEQA findings
Summary
The commission unanimously approved the New Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project and adopted the related CEQA findings, advancing a key reliability project for the Bay Division reliability/Bridal and Bay Tunnel program.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to approve the New Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project and the associated California Environmental Quality Act findings.
Julie Labonte, WESIP/WICIP director, presented the project documentation and said the CEQA materials were concise and precise. The commission discussed the item briefly and Commissioner Hochschild moved approval; the motion carried with no nays recorded.
The general manager earlier had described delays on some Bay Division reliability environmental reviews and told the commission staff would assess alternatives to minimize impacts of the delay. The Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel approval is part of broader Bay Division reliability work, which the general manager said had reached important design milestones but still faces environmental review scheduling challenges.
The commission recorded the approval and moved on to other agenda items.
