Notification of Document Release – Berths 148-151 Marine Oil Terminal and Wharf Improvement

The Los Angeles Harbor Department or LAHD has released a Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Berths 148-151 (Phillips 66) marine oil terminal and wharf improvement project located at Berths 148-151 in Wilmington.

The primary objective of the proposed project is to ensure that the Phillips 66 marine oil terminal at Berths 148-151 complies with Marine Oil Terminal Engineering and Maintenance Standards (MOTEMS) to protect public health, safety, and the environment. The timber wharf at Berths 150-151 would be replaced with a new concrete wharf and associated equipment to comply with MOTEMS seismic and safety standards. The proposed project includes temporary improvements at Berths 148-149 that would allow these berths to continue to be utilized while the Berths 150-151 are being reconstructed. The proposed Project also includes consideration of a new 20-year entitlement (with two potential 10-year additional options) to Phillips 66 for continued operations at Berths 148-151. The 30-day review period started today, Nov. 18, 2021, and ends Dec. 20, 2021.

Details: The Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is available on POLAs website at www.portoflosangeles.org under the “Environmental Documents” tab.
