Port to Conduct Public Hearing on Demolition of Former Teledyne Ryan

Thursday, 30 July 2009

The Final Environmental Impact Report for a project to demolish the former Teledyne Ryan property at 2701 North Harbor Drive is complete and is now ready to go before the Board of Port Commissioners for certification.

The report addresses probable environmental effects on air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, hazardous materials, water quality, land use and planning, noise, traffic circulation and other factors.

The Port of San Diego will conduct a public hearing on the demolition at the Tuesday, August 4, 2009, Board of Port Commissioners meeting.  The meeting begins at 1 p.m. and will be held in the board room of the Port’s Administration Building, located at 3165 Pacific Highway (map).

The demolition is being administered by the Port of San Diego and includes the removal of approximately 50 structures on a 46-acre site near San Diego International Airport.  The site was previously used for aviation manufacturing facilities operated by the former tenant, Teledyne Ryan Industries (also known as Allegheny Industries), from 1939 to 2002.

Work will be done in three phases during a 24 to 30 month period.  The buildings, foundations, concrete, asphalt and other related infrastructure will be removed.  The demolition also includes the removal and disposal of hazardous demolition materials.  A 30-inch storm drain will be removed and replaced and will connect with a remaining 54-inch storm drain.

After the public hearing on August 4, the Board of Port Commissioners will be asked to approve a resolution authorizing the issuance of a non-appealable Coastal Development Permit.  If the Board approves the permit, it will pave the way for the project to proceed.
