Turning Basin Widening Navigation Study – Updates

The Oakland Harbor Turning Basins Widening Navigation Study has reached another important milestone with the release of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR). The Port released the Draft EIR on October 3, 2023. The Port hosted four (4) separate public meetings during the public review period to discuss the proposed project, the environmental impacts of the proposed project, and to receive public comment on Draft EIR. The public review period concluded December 18, 2023.

The project team is reviewing all comments received and anticipates a Final EIR will be presented to the Port’s Board of Commissioners late 2024 to consider and determine if it was prepared in compliance with CEQA.
