Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility

Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility

The proposed project would be the expansion of an existing rail support facility located at Pier B in the Port of Long Beach. The project would result in additional railcar storage and staging capacity, including additional rail tracks for locomotive refueling, railcar repair, and to accommodate the assembly of cargo trains up to 10,000 ft long. The project would require realignment of Pier B St and closure of an existing grade crossing at 9th St. The full build out alternative of the project would require removal of existing ramps to and from the Shoemaker Bridge. The environmental effects anticipated to remain significant following mitigation include: 1) Air emissions associated with construction and operations; and 2) GHG associated with operations.
