Schott Port of Redwood City Executive Secretary Port of Richmond Port of San Diego Port of San Francisco Port of Stockton Port of West Sacramento April 6, 2015 Honorable Patrick O’Donnell California State Assembly Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: AB 1312 (O’Donnell) Ballast Water Management – SUPPORT Dear Assemblymember O’Donnell: On behalf of the California Association of Port Authorities (CAPA), I write in support of your AB 1312, which seeks to amend portions of the CA PRC code related to ballast water management from ships. CAPA is comprised of the state’s eleven commercial, publicly-owned ports and is dedicated to maintaining a vigorous and vital port industry in California. The Association, which has been in existence since 1940, is committed to promoting the interests of California’s ports, maintaining the state’s leading role in the maritime industry, and leading the way in innovative and cutting edge environmentally-friendly port operations. As you may know, California is subject to very demanding ballast water standards, which are very aspirational but according to an assessment made by the State Lands Commission (SLC), there currently is no technology available for stakeholders to meet those strict standards. Unless the standards are amended or their implementation date is postponed, vessels will be unable to comply with state law and find themselves without any available remedy. AB 1312 delays the implementation of those standards with the anticipation that ballast water treatment systems will be better able to meet California’s strict standards in the future. Sincerely, Tim Schott Executive Director cc: Members, Assembly Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee Consultant .

13 Local Coastal Program
Port Hueneme General Plan Background Report Local Coastal Program 13 Local Coastal Program 13.1 Purpose The Local Coastal Program (LCP) is a planning document that includes land use plans, a zoning ordinance, zoning district maps, and other implementing actions in the coastal zone that meet the requirements of and implement the California Coastal Act (Public Resources Code Section 30108.6). The Coastal Act applies to the coastal zone, a strip along the California coast generally “extending seaward to the state’s outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and extending inland generally 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line of the sea” (Public Resources Code Section 30103). Development in the coastal zone requires a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). Once a city has an LCP certified by the Coastal Commission, the ability to grant CDPs is transferred from the Coastal Commission to the City. For an LCP to be certified by the Coastal Commission, it must include a Land Use Plan (LUP), policies, and an Implementation Plan (IP) that ensures the goals of the Coastal Act are being met. Because much of Port Hueneme is within the coastal zone, an LCP is required for the City to have the ability to issue CDPs within the City’s boundaries. See Figure 13.1 for the City’s Coastal Zone boundary. The existing LCP, adopted in 2006, prescribes the policies and procedures governing the use and development of land within the Coastal Zone. General Plan Background Report 1 Figure 13.1 Port Hueneme Coastal Zone Boundary and Land Uses 2 Port Hueneme General Plan Background Report Local Coastal Program 13.2 Relationship to Other Plans and Programs The Port Hueneme LCP connects to and overlaps with several other plans, ordinances, and programs adopted and implemented by the City.
