DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Availability for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/ 

DEIR) for Proposed Aggregate 

Terminal Project on Pier D in the Port 

of Long Beach, Los Angeles County, 

CA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army—U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corp of 

Engineers, Los Angeles District 

(Regulatory Division), in coordination 

with the Port of Long Beach (Port), has 

completed a draft EIS/EIR for the Eagle 

Rock Aggregates Terminal Project. The 

proposed project would include the 

following in-water and land-based 

elements: dredging, land-based wharf 

improvements, and the installation of 

truck scales and conveyor system. 

Construction duration of the proposed 

project is estimated at 5 months. 

The applicant, Eagle Rock Aggregates, 

Inc. requires authorization pursuant to 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

in order to conduct dredging activities 

within waters of the U.S. 

Pursuant to the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the 

Port will serve as the Lead Agency for 

the preparation of an EIR for its 

consideration of development approvals 

within its jurisdiction. The Corps and 

the Port have agreed to jointly prepare 

a DEIS/DEIR in order to optimize 

efficiency and avoid duplication. The 

DEIS/DEIR is intended to be sufficient 

in scope to address Federal, State, and 

local requirements and environmental 

issues concerning the proposed 

activities and permit approvals. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Project Site and Background 

Information 

The proposed project site is located at 

Berth D–44 on Pier D in the Port. The 

site is currently owned by L.G. Everist, 

Inc. and would be leased to Eagle Rock 

Aggregate, Inc. for terminal 

development and operation. The site, 

located at 1925 Pier D Street, is bounded 

by Channel 3 and SSA Matson to the 

north, G.P. Gypsum to the east, berth D– 

43 to the west, and Pier D Street to the 

south. The site was previously used as 

an aggregate import terminal by 

Connolly-Pacific Company, which 

operated the terminal from 2000 until 

2009. During this time, the terminal 

received pre-sorted aggregate that was 

barged by diesel-powered tugs boats, 

then off-loaded by conveyor systems, 

stockpiled, and distributed. 

2. Proposed Action 

Dredging of Channel 3 

In order to prepare the site to accept 

larger (Panamax-class) aggregate 

transport vessels, the proposed project 

would impact approximately 1 acre 

(490-foot-length by 120-foot-width) of 

waters of the U.S. within Channel 3 to 

dredge approximately 6,000 cubic yards 

of material. The channel bottom within 

the project area would be deepened 

from -40 feet Mean Lower Low Water 

(MLLW) to -46 feet (ft) MLLW over the 

majority of the dredge footprint, 

including a 2-foot over-dredge 

allowance (overdepth). In addition, the 

proposed project would include 

advanced maintenance dredging of 2-ft 

(to -48 feet MLLW) within a 400-footlong by 20-foot-wide area located 

immediately adjacent to the berthing 

area to reduce the necessity for 

maintenance dredging over the nearterm. The applicant has coordinated 

with the South Coast Dredge Material 

Management Team/Contaminated 

Sediments Task Force on disposal 

options, and has determined the 

material to be suitable for placement 

within the Port’s Middle Harbor 

confined disposal facility. The Port has 

received prior approval for the Middle 

Harbor project from the Department of 

the Army (File No. SPL–2004–01053– 

AOA). 

Land-Based Improvements 

With the proposed project, land-based 

wharf improvements would include 

installing additional steel (stiff) legs for 

the new wharf structure and conveyor 

system, driving 28 steel piles to support 

the stiff legs, and installing the aggregate 

conveyor system. Additional site 

improvements would include the 

installation of truck scales and a prefabricated office building. No other site 

improvements are proposed under this 

project. 

3. Alternatives 

Alternatives currently being 

considered include the following: 

(1) Aggregate receiving and storage 

terminal at berth D–43 utilizing 

Panamax-class vessels to deliver the 

aggregate material, including the 

dredging of approximately 6,000 cubic 

yards of sediment within Channel 3 

(Proposed Project); 

(2) Aggregate receiving and storage 

terminal at berth B–83 utilizing 

Panamax-class vessels to deliver the 

aggregate material. No dredging is 

proposed under this alternative 

(Alternative Site); 

(3) Aggregate receiving and storage 

terminal at berth D–43 utilizing barges 

and tug boats to deliver the aggregate 

material. No dredging is proposed under 

this alternative (No Federal Action 

Alternative); 

(4) No Project Alternative.
