Notice of Availability for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement/
Environmental Impact Report and a
Draft General Conformity
Determination for the Berths 97–109
[China Shipping] Container Terminal
Project, Port of Los Angeles, Los
Angeles County, CA
AGENCY: Department of the Army—U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY: On April 30, 2008, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles
District, Regulatory Division (Corps) in
coordination with the Los Angeles
Harbor Department (LAHD) completed
and published the Recirculated Draft
Environmental Impact Statement/
Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR)
for the Berths 97–109 [China Shipping]
Container Terminal Project (Project) in
the Port of Los Angeles. The Corps and
LAHD considered all comments
received in preparing the Final EIS/EIR,
which is available for a 30-day review.
The Final EIS/EIR includes a draft
general conformity determination (see
Section 3.2 and Appendix P), pursuant
to Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
A general conformity determination is
necessary because Project construction
would require Federal action (i.e.,
issuance of a Corps permit for activities
proposed in and over navigable waters
and waters of the U.S.) and not all the
Federal action’s direct and indirect
emissions would be below specified de
minimis thresholds (40 CFR 93.153(b)).
Pursuant to the general conformity
regulations (40 CFR Part 93 Subpart B),
general conformity determinations do
not have to be included in the EIS and
can be separately noticed, but the draft
general conformity determination for
the Federal action associated with the
Project is being included in the Final
EIS/EIR in this case.
The Final EIS/EIR, including the draft
general conformity determination, is
available for public review during the
next 30 days at the Los Angeles Harbor
Department, 425 South Palos Verdes
Street, San Pedro, California, on the
Port’s Web site: https://
www.portoflosangeles.org, and on the
Corps’ Web site: https://

under China Shipping Project). In
addition, the Final EIS/EIR, including
the draft general conformity
determination, is available at the

Public Library, Wilmington Branch,
1300 North Avalon, Wilmington,
California.
Any comments received by the Corps
and LAHD on the Final EIS/EIR or the
included draft general conformity
determination during the next 30 days
will be considered fully before the
Corps makes a final general conformity
determination and finalizes the Record
of Decision (ROD) for the Federal action
associated with the Project. The Corps
will publish a notice of a final general
conformity determination in the Federal
Register within 30 days of rendering a
final decision. The public can request
from the Corps copies of the ROD,
which includes responses to comments
on the Final EIS/EIR, including any on
the draft general conformity
determination, following publication of
a final general conformity determination
and upon execution of the ROD.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions or comments concerning the
Final EIS/EIR or the included draft
general conformity determination
should be directed within the next 30
days to Dr. Spencer D. MacNeil, Senior
