Long Beach releases ‘Pier S’ environmental study

As part of the Port’s plans, the proposed development would utilise the latest technology and practices for reducing air pollution from cargo operations. Ships would plug into clean electricity at berth, on-dock rail lines would help to minimise truck trips and the cleanest cargo-handling equipment would move containers.

The Port has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and supplemental environmental impact report (SEIR) analysing the impacts of the proposed development; it also details the mitigation measures that would be used to address those impacts.

As part of the project, the Port would implement all the environmental measures in the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan and Water Resources Action Plan, and meet sustainability goals outlined in the Green Port Policy.
