Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood CouncilMOTION RELATING TO The Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council understands that the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles have contributed over $100 million dollars for restoration of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The participation of each Port at Bolsa Chica Wetlands project is part of an environmental restoration project in exchange for environmental credits to be used for current and future Port projects. The restoration of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands is important and should be continued. However, we as a Neighborhood council are concerned that environmental mitigation monies from the Port of Los Angeles are being used at a location 25 miles south. We believe that the negative impact of port growth is experienced most directly by communities surrounding the ports. Thus, we believe that environmental mitigation monies should be used for restoration and mitigation projects within the existing boundary of the Port of Los Angeles and in adjacent communities directly impacted by Port operations. Many areas adjacent to the Port could benefit from the expenditure of mitigation funds. Therefore, the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council recommends that the Port of Los Angeles Harbor Commission: 1. Not approve additional expenditures of funds for the Bolsa Chica
Wetlands Project; Passed unanimously on Sept. 12, 2005 by the NWSPNC. Return to RESOLUTIONS. JOIN US! Take an active part in the issues shaping your neighborhood! |
