Rehabilitate Failing Amphitheater Structure in Aquatic Park National Historic Landmark District

The National Park Service (NPS) is making available for public review the Rehabilitate Failing Amphitheater Structure in Aquatic Park National Historic Landmark Environmental Assessment for San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a safe and usable structure for visitors and park employees and to rehabilitate and protect the cultural resources of the building and the historic landmark district.

The environmental assessment (EA) examines in detail two alternatives: no action and the NPS preferred alternative. The preferred alternative proposes rehabilitation of the amphitheater (bleacher) structures, portions of which are currently being supported by temporary shoring. The project would entail repair, and in some cases substantial reconstruction, of the severely deteriorated visitor-use bleachers, including the structure's accompanying underground offices and work spaces. Work would include removal and replacement of failed concrete and rebar in some areas, and shotcrete repair in other areas, installation of new waterproofing and drain system, replacement of skylights. In addition, repairs would include upgrades for accessibility, and upgrades to facility mechanical and electrical systems to meet building codes.
