Port Ships Are Massive L.A. Polluters. Will California Force A
Port ships are becoming L.A.’s biggest polluters. Will California force a cleanup? In December, a barge at the Port of Los Angeles uses a system, known as a bonnet or “sock on a stack,” that’s intended to scrub exhaust. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Ships visiting Southern California’s bustling ports are poised to become the region’s larg est source of smogcausing pollutants in coming years, one reason state regulators want to reduce emissions from thousands more of them. Air quality officials want to expand the number of ships that, while docked, must either shut down their auxiliary engines and plug into shore power or scrub their exhaust by hooking up to machines known as bonnets or “socks on a stack.” But some neighbors of the ports say the California Air Resources Board is not moving fast enough to cut a rising source of pollution. Some also fear that the shipping industry and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will use their clout to weaken the proposed restrictions, which the Air Resources Board will decide on in the first half of the year. “We need relief; it’s just that simple,” said Theral Golden of the West Long Beach Assn., a neighborhood group that has long fought for cleaner air in a community that is among the hardest hit by port pollution. Ruben Garcia, president of Advanced Environmental Group, points out the telescoping tube of an emissions capture system that’s attached to a barge at the Port of L.A. (Allen J. -

Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire
Fire Technology, 42, 273–281, 2006 C 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC. Manufactured in The United States DOI: 10.1007/s10694-006-7506-9 Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire Kevin McGrattan and Anthony Hamins, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA Published online: 24 April 2006 Abstract. The paper presents numerical simulations of a fire in the Howard Street Tunnel, Baltimore, Maryland, following the derailment of a freight train in July, 2001. The model was validated for this application using temperature data collected during a series of fire experi- ments conducted in a decommissioned highway tunnel in West Virginia. The peak predicted temperatures within the Howard Street Tunnel were approximately 1,000◦C (1,800◦F) within the flaming regions, and approximately 500◦C (900◦F) averaged over a length of the tunnel equal to about four rail cars. Key words: fire modeling, Howard Street Tunnel fire, tunnel fires Introduction On July 18, 2001, at 3:08 pm, a 60 car CSX freight train powered by 3 locomotives traveling through the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland, derailed 11 cars. A fire started shortly after the derailment. The tunnel is 2,650 m (8,700 ft, 1.65 mi) long with a 0.8% upgrade in the section of the tunnel where the fire occurred. There is a single track within the tunnel. Its lower entrance (Camden portal) is near Orioles Park at Camden Yards; its upper entrance is at Mount Royal Station. The train was traveling towards the Mount Royal portal when it derailed. -
Aesthetics and Visual Resources
1 Section 3.1 2 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 3 SECTION SUMMARY 4 This section characterizes the existing aesthetic conditions in the proposed Project area and assesses how 5 the construction and operation of the proposed Project or an alternative would alter them. The aesthetics 6 and visual resources impact analysis evaluates and identifies potential impacts associated with 7 implementation of the proposed Project or an alternative on locally-designated scenic highways, scenic 8 resources, light and glare, and visual character of the proposed Project area. 9 The primary features of the proposed Project and alternatives that could affect aesthetic resources include 10 the addition of up to 12 new cranes, additional berthed ships, and additional terminal lighting. Additional 11 features and activities such as redeveloped buildings and stored containers are also considered in this 12 analysis. 13 Section 3.1, Aesthetics and Visual Resources, provides the following: 14 A description of existing visual characteristics in the Port area (including photographs); 15 A description of key areas from which the proposed Project or alternatives would be visible; 16 A description of existing night lighting conditions; 17 A description of applicable local, state, and federal regulations and policies regarding visual 18 resources and scenic highway designations in the proposed Project area; 19 A discussion of the methodology used to determine whether the proposed Project or alternatives 20 would result in an impact to aesthetic and visual resources; 21 An impact analysis of the proposed Project and six alternatives, which includes simulated photos 22 of the proposed future build-out conditions; and, 23 A description of proposed mitigation measures intended to reduce potential impacts, as applicable. -
2006 C.3 Harbor Subdivision Transit Analysis

TlS Metro ---34937 TF OCT 02 2007 870 .H377 2006 c.3 Harbor Subdivision Transit Analysis Final Report Submitted to: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Trausportation Authority Prepared by: Wilhur Smith Associates UltraSystems Environmental RAW International December 22, 2006 • Executive Summary HARBOR SUBDIVISION TRANSIT ANALYSIS ANALYSIS BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In 1992, the former Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LAcrq purchased the majority of the Harbor Subdivision, the mainline of the former Atchison Topc:ka & Santa Fe Railw:ay (ATSF or Santa Fe) ~tween downtown Los Angeles and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. As part of that agreement, ATSF retained the right to provide freight rail servia on the portion of the line owned by the LAcre, and LAcre retained the right to operate passenger service on the line. Today, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), the succ('ssor railroad to the ATSF, still operates freight trains on the line, although the total is a small fraction ofwhat it was at Ute time of the purchase. Neither LACfC nor its successor agency, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), ran any passenger service on the line. The line studied appears as Figure £5.1 on the following page. With this analysis, Metro has attempted to investigate the feasibility of the potential deployment of various transit modes on its portion of the Harbor Subdivision. The attempt has been to make use of as much of the 26.36-mile right-of-way as may be practical, realizing that some sections of the line run through primarily industrial land uses. -

Stock#: 48538 Map Maker: Southern Pacific Railroad Company Date: 1910 circa Place: n.p. Color: Condition: VG- Size: 31 x 65 inches Price: SOLD Description: Fine early map of Terminal Island, in San Pedro California, drawn for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The map illustrates Terminal Island at the beginning of its modern history, before the island was substantially reshaped and modified by dredging and reclamation projects that created the modern harbors at San Pedro and Long Beach. The map show the City of San Pedro at the right, with the lines of the Southern Pacific. Below, a line identified as Los Angeles Terminal Railway traverses Terminal Island, with a railway station, Hotel Site, Mill, Lumber Yard and Coal Yard shown, along with several wharfs. The location of the Catalina Yacht club is also noted (constructed in 1898). The map shows Morman (Mormon) Island and Smith Island, both of which have also been dramatically reshaped by modern port projects. Mormon Island was the site of an short-lived settlement attempt by San Bernardino-based Mormon pioneers in the 1850s. Terminal Island The island was originally called Isla Raza de Buena Gente and later Rattlesnake Island. It was renamed Terminal Island in 1891. In 1891, the Terminal Land Company purchased the island and a railway was built on to its east side by the Los Angeles Terminal Railroad Company.
