AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Los Angeles District
(Regulatory Division), in coordination
with the Port of Long Angeles, has
completed a Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement/
Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report (SEIS/SEIR) for the Pacific L.A.
Marine Terminal LLC Crude Oil
Terminal Project. The Port of Los
Angeles requires authorization pursuant
to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
and Section 10 of the River and Harbor
Act to build a new crude oil marine
terminal at Berth 408 on Pier 400
including: construction of a new marine
terminal to receive crude oil from
marine vessels and transfer the oil to
tank farms facilities via a new 42-inchdiameter, high-volume pipeline;
construction of two tank farms, Tank
Farm Site 1 located on Pier 400 and
Tank Farm Site 2 located on Pier 300 at
Seaside Avenue/Terminal Way;
construction of new pipelines to
connect the new tank farm facilities to
existing pipeline facilities, with the new
tank farm facilities connected to the
existing ExxonMobil Southwest
Terminal on Terminal Island, the
existing Ultramar/Valero Refinery on
Anaheim Street near the Terminal
Island Freeway, and to Plains All
American pipeline systems near Henry

Ford Avenue and Alameda Street via
new and existing 36-inch, 24-inch, and
16-inch pipelines, and with all new
pipelines installed belowground, with
the exception of the water crossings at
the Pier 400 causeway bridge and at the
Valero utility/pipe bridge that crosses
the Dominguez Channel west of the
Ultramar/Valero Refinery. The new tank
farm facilities would provide a total of
4.0 million barrels (bbl) of capacity,
primarily receiving crude oil, partially
refined crude oil, and occasional
deliveries of Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

ecosystem restoration. The study
proposes to consider a range of activities
to restore riparian and aquatic habitat,
and related habitat functions, in and
adjacent to the Los Angeles River,
which will benefit wildlife and sensitive
species.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
December 29, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Authorization. The proposed
feasibility study was authorized under
Congressional Resolution, which reads
as follows:
Senate Resolution, approved 25 June 1969,
reading in part: ‘‘Resolved by the Committee
on Public Works of the United States Senate,
that the Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors, created under Section 3 of the River
and Harbor Act, approved June 13, 1902, be,
and is hereby requested to review the report
of the Chief of Engineers on the Los Angeles
and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek,
California, published as House Document
Numbered 838, Seventy-sixth Congress, and
other pertinent reports, with a view to
determining whether any modifications
contained herein are advisable at the present
time, in the resources in the Los Angeles
County Drainage Area.’’
2. Background. Historically, the Los
Angeles River is subject to flooding and
two of the largest floods in recorded
history occurred in the 1930s, causing
both a substantial loss of life and
property damage. During the latter
1930s and 1940s the Federal
Government (U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers) constructed the concrete
flood control channel in the Los Angeles
River to expedite movement of
stormwater flows to the ocean for flood
prevention, causing a complete loss of
the natural hydrologic and hydraulic
regime and the natural riparian
environment. Development along most
of the River is a mix of housing,
industrial and commercial land uses
that contribute to the overall
degradation of the ecosystem. The City
of Los Angeles, city residents, and other
local agencies have expressed interest
and support for a feasibility study that
would evaluate the potential for
restoration of the Los Angeles River’s
aquatic ecosystem.
The entire Los Angeles River travels
through a highly urbanized area
