Notice of Availability of a Final General Conformity 
Determination and Record of Decision for the San Pedro Waterfront 
Project, Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA

AGENCY: Department of the Army--U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In September 2009, the Los Angeles District of the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Los Angeles Harbor Department 
published a joint final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental 
Impact Report (EIS/EIR), including the Corps' draft general conformity 
determination (Section 3.2 and Appendix D.7), for the Federal action 
associated with the San Pedro Waterfront Project (Project) in the Port 
of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Comments were received 
on the final EIS/EIR and included draft general conformity 
determination until October 29, 2009. A general conformity 
determination was necessary because Project construction would require 
Federal action (i.e., issuance of a Corps permit for work and 
structures in and over navigable waters, discharges of fill into waters 
of the U.S., and transport and disposal of dredged material in ocean 
waters) and not all the Federal action's direct and indirect emissions 
would be below specified de minimis thresholds (40 CFR 93.153(b)). On 
May 9, 2011 and May 11, 2011, the Corps made a final general conformity 
determination and completed its environmental review and executed the 
Record of Decision (ROD), respectively, for the Federal action 
associated with the Project. The Corps considered and responded to all 
comments received in making the final general conformity determination 
and executing the ROD.
    The public can request copies of the final general conformity 
determination document or the ROD from the Corps at the address listed 
below, or can view or download the final general conformity 
determination document from the Corps' Web site (http://www.spl.usace.army.mil/regulatory/POLA.htm, scroll down to the link
