The Port of Long Beach released a draft Initial Study today on a proposal by SA Recycling LLC to demolish its marine terminal facility on Pier T in the Port.
The Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) concludes that the project would not have any significant or unmitigable environmental impacts. The draft study finds that potential impacts to biological, cultural and tribal cultural resources would be mitigated to less-than-significant levels. No other significant impacts are identified. The draft IS/MND is available at www.polb.com/ceqa.
As required by its lease with the Port, SA Recycling would restore the premises of the 19-acre site at 482 Pier T Ave., Long Beach, to its pre-lease condition as part of vacating the facility.
The public comment period runs through 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30. Comments may be submitted to Renee Moilanen, Director of Environmental Planning, Port of Long Beach, 415 W. Ocean Blvd., 7th Floor, Long Beach, CA 90802, or to SARDemo@polb.com.
The Port of Long Beach is building the Port of the Future™, guided by its 2050 vision and a plan to double current container volumes to 20 million units annually by 2050. The Port is also becoming the world's first zero-emissions port, with $3.3 billion in capital investments planned over the next decade.
Today the Port moves cargo valued at $300 billion a year and generates 2.7 million jobs across the U.S. It is one of only 18 commercial strategic seaports in the U.S. with a duty to support force deployment during national defense emergencies.
