LA Harbor Commission to Consider Final EIR

The Port of Los Angeles has released a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Southern California International Gateway (SCIG) Project.

 

The proposed project, which involves the construction and operation of a railyard on outer Port property, is located in an industrial area between Sepulveda Boulevard to the north, Pacific Coast Highway to the south, SR-47 to the east and the Dominquez Channel to the west.

 
The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners will consider certifying the Final EIR at its meeting on Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 8:30 am.  The original meeting location in the Final EIR notice has now been changed to the Cruise Center Terminal Annex Building, located at 390 N. Harbor Boulevard in San Pedro, just north of the USS IOWA. The parking entrances are at Harbor Boulevard and Swinford Streets, and also at Harbor Boulevard and First Street.

 
As required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Final EIR (FEIR) includes responses to comments on the non-recirculated sections of the Draft EIR and responses to comments on the Recirculated Draft EIR, as well as changes made to both documents.
