Public Hearing
Pursuant to the California Coastal Act of 1976, as amended and the Port of Los Angeles’ certified Port Master Plan, notice is hereby given to all interested persons and organizations that the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners will hold a public hearing to receive public comments prior to considering the following to Amend the Port Master Plan.
Planning and Strategy
Summary: Staff requests the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) consider all comments, if any, held at the July 9, 2026, public hearing for a proposed Port Master Plan (PMP) Amendment No. 31 (Amendment), adopt the Amendment, and authorize the Executive Director to submit the Amendment to the California Coastal Commission for certification. PMP Amendment No. 31 updates the Planning Area 2 – West Basin/Wilmington land use map to reflect existing conditions and the proposed Ecocem Materials Ltd. Low‑Carbon Cement Processing Facility at Berths 191–194. The Amendment would revise approximately 32 acres near Slip 5 and the East Basin as follows:
- Change the Institutional and Open Space designations along Berths 187–190 to Liquid Bulk to match the existing conditions at the Vopak Marine Oil Terminal, which is no longer proposing to change its berthing location.
- Change the Liquid Bulk designation at Berths 191–194 to Dry Bulk to accommodate the Ecocem Project.
- Add approximately one acre of Institutional designation to reflect the existing City of Los Angeles Fire Station No. 49 and the University of Southern California Rowing Boathouse.
Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is categorically exempt and has been previously evaluated pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(i) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines and Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines; 2) adopt Port Master Plan Amendment No. 31; 3) authorize the Executive Director to submit the Port Master Plan Amendment to the California Coastal Commission for Certification; and 4) adopt Resolution No._______________.

Consent Items (2 – 3)
Goods Movement
Summary: Staff requests adoption of a Resolution approving and providing mutual agreement, via a Notice of Mutual Agreement (NMA), amongst the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, (Harbor Department), Port of Long Beach (POLB), BNSF Railway (BNSF), and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), which approves: 1) selection of RailWorks Track Services, LLC (Railworks) to provide maintenance services for the Alameda Corridor (AC), and 2) the terms of the maintenance services agreement with the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA). Approval of this NMA will enable ACTA staff to subsequently seek approval of a new maintenance services agreement from its Board. The current maintenance agreement with ACTA expires October 14, 2026. The BNSF and UPRR will pay for the maintenance services through the AC use fees, collected by ACTA. As such, there will be no financial impact to the Harbor Department if this NMA is approved.
Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; 2) approve and Provide Mutual Agreement through NMA No. 2025-1R for the AC maintenance contractor selection of RailWorks for a five-year maintenance services agreement between ACTA and RailWorks; 3) direct the Executive Director to transmit this Resolution to ACTA for further action pursuant to the Amended and Restated AC Use and Operating Agreement (UOA); and 4) adopt Resolution No. ______________.

If the two renewal options are exercised, then a total not-to-exceed amount of $600,000 will be authorized over the three-year Contract period.

Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; 2) find that in accordance with the Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022, work under the subject contract can be performed more feasibly by independent contractors than by City employees; 3) approve Bid No. F-1279 with DXP in the amount of $200,000 annually for storm water and sewer pump parts and repair services for a period of one year, with two one-year renewal options for a total compensation amount not to exceed $600,000 if the renewal options are exercised by the Executive Director or his/her designee; 4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and Board Secretary to attest to the Contract for and on behalf of the Board; and 5) adopt Resolution No. __________________.

Waterfront & Commercial Real Estate
Summary: Staff requests approval of the Seventh Amendment to Permit No. 560 (P560) with Vopak Terminal Los Angeles, Inc. (Vopak). Vopak operates a marine oil terminal at Berths 187-190 in Wilmington. This Amendment is necessary to enable time-sensitive emergency repairs to be completed. Approval of this Seventh Amendment ensures critical repair work is completed in a timely manner to meet Marine Oil Terminal & Maintenance Standards (MOTEMS) regulatory requirements while protecting an ongoing revenue source to the City of Los Angeles (City) Harbor Department (Harbor Department). The proposed Seventh Amendment effectively: (1) extends P560 by eight years; (2) transfers repair work responsibility of Berths 187-190 from the Harbor Department to Vopak; (3) compensates Vopak through commensurate waivers to wharfage charges for costs incurred; and (4) provides needed time to complete on-going California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis for the larger wharf rehabilitation project and long-term permit. The Harbor Department is financially responsible for the costs associated with the emergency repairs needed at Berths 187-190.
Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article III Classes 1(4) and 1(18)(b) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; 2) approve the Seventh Amendment to Permit No. 560 with the Vopak Terminal Los Angeles, Inc.; 3) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the Seventh Amendment to Permit No. 560 to City Council for approval pursuant to City Charter Section 606; 4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the Seventh Amendment upon Board approval, contingent upon approval by City Council; and 5) adopt Resolution No. _______________.
