The Port of Los Angeles Thursday released an Initial Study/Notice of Preparation — the first step in the environmental review process — for the proposed Terminal Island Maritime Support Facility Project.
The proposed project, located at 740 Terminal Way, would develop an 80-acre site with related site improvements. Port officials anticipate the project site will be utilized as a full-service chassis depot, providing storage, maintenance and repair of chassis and empty containers.
A term permit would be issued for the operations of the proposed chassis support and container storage facility for up to 25 years.
The Initial Study/Notice of Preparation, also called IS/NOP, can be viewed online at portoflosangeles.org/ceqa. It is intended to solicit feedback, which helps to identify any potential environmental impacts and suggest possible alternatives for the proposed project that can be incorporated in the Draft Environmental Impact Report.
Written comments on the IS/NOP can be submitted via email to ceqacomments@portla.org or to the following address during the public comment period through Monday, Jan. 22, 2024:
Director of Environmental Management,
Los Angeles Harbor Department,
425 South Palos Verdes St.
San Pedro, CA 90731
Comment letters sent via email should include the Project title “Terminal Island Maritime Support Facility Project” in the subject line.
Additionally, the port will hold a virtual public meeting to discuss and receive comments on the IS/NOP at 4 p.m. on Jan. 9. No registration is required. There will also be Spanish translation services available. The meeting will be held via Zoom at bit.ly/3uPFHxq.
