Document Type: NOD - Notice of Determination

Document Description: Project would reconfigure, expand, and enhance the 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 36 additional rail tracks for locomotive refueling, railcar repair, and to accommodate the assembly of cargo trains up to 10,000 feet long. Project would require realignment of Pier B St., closure of an existing grade crossing at 9th Street, and additional realignments and closures of number of local streets to provide a sufficient area for expansion of the rail yard. Utility lines would be newly constructed or relocated into subsurface utility corridors located between tracks. The full build-out of the Project would require removal of existing ramps to and from the Shoemaker Bridge.
