SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Automated Decision-Aid

System for Hazardous Incidents

(ADASHI).

Inventor: James A. Genovese.

The Automated Decision-Aid System

for Hazardous Incidents (ADASHI) is a

unique, computer-based integrated

decision-aid support system for

improving tactical response to a

hazardous incident. ADASI effectively

integrates the specific technical

functions required to control a

hazardous event involving chemical,

biological or radiological (CBR)

materials. ADASHI will automatically

monitor most aspects of the CBR event,

whether it be a ‘‘What if?’’ simulated

event for training purposes or a real

event. ADASHI can also be utilized as

an ‘‘over the shoulder’’ decision-support

system to aid incident commanders in

making better, more timely decisions by

rapidly processing the multi-variant

input data and providing critical

information to that commander in a

high-stress environment.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Draft SEIS/SEIR was

released for public review on April 7,

2000. The Environmental Protection

Agency has published a Notice of

Availability of the Draft SEIS/SEIR in

the Federal Register on April 7, 2000.

The public review of the Draft SEIS/

(213) 452–3846.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Background

The primary purpose of the proposed

project is to deepen the inner harbor of

the Port of Los Angeles to improve

deep-draft navigation safety, to

maximize the efficiency of the Port of

Los Angeles by providing deep-draft

commercials with reductions in tide

delays and increasing economies if

scale, and to maximize the beneficial

use of dredged material.

2. Proposed Action

Deepening of the Inner Harbor

channels at the Port of Los Angeles to

a depth of ¥53 ft Mean Lower Low

Water (MLLW).

3. Alternatives

The SEIS/SEIR evaluates the

alternatives carried forward for detailed

environmental analysis. In general, the

major differences among alternatives are

the project depth and selection of

disposal sites.

Dredge Alternatives

Three dredge depth alternatives were

assessed in the SEIS/SEIR. The dredge

depths were ¥50 ft MLLW, ¥53 ft

MLLW, and ¥55 ft MLLW. A dredge

depth of ¥53 ft MLLW was determined

to be the optimum depth.
