The Los Angeles Harbor Commission Thursday certified the final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Berth 97-109 Container Terminal Project (China Shipping) and approved the project. The approved project, which will include a tenant lease to year 2045, will provide thousands of future jobs while substantially reducing air emissions at the terminal through unprecedented mitigation measures. “We’ve just approved what could very well be the cleanest and greenest port container terminal operation in the world,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commission President, S. David Freeman. “This is the third major project EIR our Board has approved in roughly 12 months – it’s another sizable investment in the future of this Port,” added Port Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D.
