SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Corps is requiring the preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

prior to any permit action. The Corps 

may ultimately make a determination to 

permit or deny the proposed project or 

a modified version of the proposed 

project. The primary Federal concerns 

are dredging, dredged material disposal, 

addition of permanent structures in and 

over navigable waters of the U.S., and 

transport of dredged material for the 

purpose of ocean disposal. 

Pursuant to the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the 

LAHD will serve as Lead Agency in 

preparing an Environmental Impact 

Report (EIR) for its consideration of 

development approvals within its 

jurisdiction. The Corps and LAHD have 

agreed to jointly prepare a Draft EIS/EIR 

to optimize efficiency and avoid 

duplication. The Draft EIS/EIR is 

intended to be sufficient in scope to 

address the Federal, state and local 

requirements and environmental issues 

concerning the proposed activities and 

permit approvals. 

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 403; 33 U.S.C. 1344; 

33 U.S.C. 1413. 

1. Project Site and Background 

Information. The project site is located 

in the West Basin area of the Port of Los 

Angeles. The site is within the Port of 

Los Angeles Community Plan area in 

the City and County of Los Angeles, 

adjacent to the communities of San 

Pedro and Wilmington, and 

approximately 20 miles south of 

downtown Los Angeles. The purpose of 

the project is to improve marine 

shipping and maritime commerce to 

optimize the container-handling 

efficiency and capacity at Berths 121– 

131, and to accommodate berthing and 

servicing of the largest container ships 

that may call at the Port of Los Angeles. 

The existing 186-acre terminal is 

operated by Yang Ming, Inc. under a 

lease agreement (LAHD Permit No. 787). 

2. Proposed Action. The LAHD has 

proposed to redevelop the existing 

container terminal in two phases and 

the following actions require a 

Department of the Army permit. Phase 

1 would take place at Berths 126–129 

and would include: Demolition and 

reconstruction of 1,260 linear feet of 

concrete wharf and supporting rock 

dike; 10 new 100–120-foot gantry cranes 

(this measurement represents the spread 

of the crane leg supports); dredging of 

approximately 400,000 cubic yards (cy) 

of sediment. Phase 2 would take place 

at Berths 121–126 and would include: 

Demolition and reconstruction of 1,400 

linear feet of concrete wharf and 

supporting rock dike; 10 new 100–120- 

foot gantry cranes; cut 3.7 acres of land 

and backfill 2.1 acres of waters of the 

United States for wharf realignment and 

angle point transition; dredging of 

approximately 500,000 cy of sediment. 

The depth of the proposed dredging 

areas would increase from ¥45 feet to 

¥53 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) 

with an overdredge allowance of two 

feet, for a total depth of ¥55 feet 

MLLW. Dredged material would be 

beneficially reused, disposed at the 

Berths 243–245 confined disposal 

facility (CDF), or the LA–2 ocean 

disposal site. Construction activities for 

Phase 1 are scheduled to begin in 2016, 

would take approximately 24 months to 

complete and may be phased to 

maintain terminal operations during 

construction. Construction activities for 

Phase 2 have not been scheduled. 

Addition or expansion of backland 

facilities, such as on-dock rail, does not 

require a Corps permit; however all 

indirect and cumulative impacts 

associated with the proposed project 

will be evaluated in the EIS/EIR in 

accordance with NEPA. 

3. Issues: Potentially significant 

impacts associated with the proposed 

project may include: Aesthetics/visual 

impacts, air quality emissions, 

biological resource impacts, 

environmental justice, geologic impacts 

related to seismicity, hazards and 

hazardous materials, water quality, 

noise, traffic and transportation, 

socioeconomics, and cumulative 

impacts from past, present and 

reasonably foreseeable future projects. 

4. Alternatives. The Draft EIS/EIR will 

include a co-equal analysis of several 

alternatives. Project alternatives will be 

further developed during this scoping 

process. Additional alternatives that 

may be developed during scoping will 

also be considered in the Draft EIS/EIR. 

5. Scoping Process. The Corps and 

LAHD will jointly conduct a public 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
20192 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 2014 / Notices 

scoping meeting to receive public 

comment regarding the appropriate 

scope and preparation of the Draft EIS/ 

EIR. Participation by Federal, state, and 

local agencies and other interested 

organization and persons is encouraged. 

This meeting will be conducted in 

English and Spanish. 

6. The Draft EIS/EIR is expected to be 

available for public review and 

comment in 2015, and a public meeting 

will be held after its publication.
