Tesoro Calciner facility
The Port of Long Beach Aug. 30 released a final study examining a proposal by Tesoro Refining and Marketing Co. LLC to demolish the Tesoro Calciner facility located at 2450 Pier B St., in Long Beach.
There is no new proposed development, no new proposed operations or proposed new land uses for the site following the proposed demolition of the facility.
The study, available at www.polb.com/ceqa, is called an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). A draft was released on June 7 for a 30-day public review period, which concluded that there would be less-than-significant impacts to the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures. A Port of Long Beach press release said, ‘no new significant environmental effects to any environmental resource areas were identified, nor did any issues raised in the comments received necessitate recirculating the Draft IS/MND.’’
The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners will consider the Final IS/MND, which incorporates public feedback collected during the review process, at its regular meeting at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 9. Meetings are live streamed at www.polb.com and can be attended in person at the Bob Foster Civic Chambers, 411 W. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach 90802.
The Calciner facility was originally constructed in 1982 by Martin-Marietta Corp. as a joint venture with Champlin Petroleum Co. Tesoro began operating the Calciner facility in 2013 and ceased operations in June 2022. Prior to termination of their lease with the port, Tesoro is required to remove from the premises all improvements and property belonging to it and restore the site to a condition equivalent to or superior to its condition prior to the commencement of the lease.
