Chapter 2. Port Congestion Relief And Port Mitigation Relief of California Harbors And Navigation Code >> Division 6. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) The Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Oakland operate in
unique communities, environments, and markets that require
infrastructure improvements and air pollution reduction measures
tailored to the nature and degree of need in each port of each
community.
(b) There is a need to mitigate the enormous burden imposed on the
highway transportation system serving the Ports of Long Beach, Los
Angeles, and Oakland by the overland movement of container cargo
shipped to and from those ports.
(c) The operations at the ports, including the movement of
locomotives, ships, and trucks that move cargo containers to and from
the ports, cause air pollution that requires mitigation. This
pollution contributes to the thousands of premature deaths and
billions of dollars of health costs each year attributable to goods
movement pollution in California.
(a) Beginning January 1, 2012, the Port of Long Beach shall
assess its infrastructure and air quality improvement needs.
(b) The port, when assessing infrastructure projects, shall
consult with the Southern California Association of Governments on
projects that improve the efficiency of cargo movement and reduce
congestion impacts associated with the movement of cargo to and from
the port through the southern California region. The port shall
identify any project lists and provide any updated information for
the projects on those lists. In the assessment, the port, at a
minimum, shall identify the projects, funding source or possible
funding source, and estimated timelines for completion.
(c) The port, when assessing air quality projects, shall consult
with the South Coast Air Quality Management District on projects that
reduce pollution associated with the movement of cargo to and from
the port through the southern California region, including, but not
limited to, projects that reduce pollution from trucks, cargo
handling equipment, locomotives, and ships that move cargo within and
to and from the port. The port shall identify any project lists,
such as the Goods Movement Emission Reduction Plan or the San Pedro
Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan, and provide updated information for
the projects on those lists, where feasible. In the assessment, the
port, at a minimum, shall identify the projects, funding source or
possible funding source, and estimated timelines for implementation.
(d) On or before July 1, 2012, the port shall provide this
assessment to the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources, Assembly
Committee on Transportation, Senate Committee on Environmental
Quality, and Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing. The
report shall include, but not be limited to, an assessment of total
costs, including updating cost estimates from previous reports or
project lists, for the infrastructure and air quality improvements,
as well as identifying funding for projects that may have a source of
funding and identifying possible funding options for projects
without a funding source.
(1) The requirement for submitting a report imposed under this
subdivision is inoperative on January 1, 2016, pursuant to Section
10231.5 of the Government Code.
(2) A report to be submitted pursuant to this subdivision shall be
submitted in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code.
(a) Beginning January 1, 2012, the Port of Los Angeles shall
assess its infrastructure and air quality improvement needs.

projects that improve the efficiency of cargo movement and reduce
congestion impacts associated with the movement of cargo to and from
the port through the southern California region. The port shall
identify any project lists and provide any updated information for
the projects on those lists. In the assessment, the port, at a
minimum, shall identify the projects, funding source or possible
funding source, and estimated timelines for completion.

with the South Coast Air Quality Management District on projects that
reduce pollution associated with the movement of cargo to and from
the port through the southern California region, including, but not

the projects on those lists, where feasible. In the assessment, the
port, at a minimum, shall identify the projects, funding source or
possible funding source, and estimated timelines for implementation.
(d) On or before July 1, 2012, the port shall provide this
assessment to the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources, Assembly
Committee on Transportation, Senate Committee on Environmental
Quality, and Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing and shall
include, but not be limited to, an assessment of total costs,
including updating cost estimates from previous reports or project
lists, for the infrastructure and air quality improvements, as well
as identifying funding for projects that may have a source of funding
and identifying possible funding options for projects without a

identify the projects, funding source or possible funding source, and
