RESOLUTION
Comments Concerning TraPac Berths 136-139
Container Terminal Expansion Project
Port of Los Angeles

WHEREAS, the Army Corps of Engineers and Port of Los Angeles have asked for comments on changes to the TraPac terminal expansion project at Berths 136-139; and

WHEREAS, these changes include adding ten acres of terminal land by filling in ten acres of water, increasing the wharf length by 400 feet, and constructing an elevated on ramp from Harry Bridges Blvd. to the 110 Freeway over John S. Gibson Blvd.; and

WHEREAS, the proposed changes to the TraPac terminal expansion project are in areas that may affect the ability of the Port to study and plan for traffic rerouting from the Port of Los Angeles Distribution facility from North Gaffey St. onto the 110 Freeway;

NOW THEREFORE, the NWSPNC requests that the TraPac Container Terminal Expansion Project Draft Environmental Impact Report include within the project description, plans and analysis for rerouting truck traffic related to the Port of Los Angeles Distribution Center away from North Gaffey Street to the freeway on-ramp located near the current C Street 110 Freeway interchange. In addition we request that the on-ramp proposed in the project description not adversely impact the ability to route Distribution Center traffic more directly to and from the 110 Freeway;

Further, the NWSPNC requests that the Draft Environmental Impact Report add an overall reduction in particulate emissions from operation of the TraPac Terminal as a project objective, and that mitigations be included that will result in a net reduction of particulate emissions from the TraPac Terminal operations after the expansion is complete.

Adopted March 13, 2006
