Prefacr This report describes the environmental consequencesof approving the proposedwharf extensionat the Port of Oakland'sCharles P. Howard l Terminal. This assessmentis desigredto fully inform the Port decision makers,responsible agencies, and the generalpublig of the proposedaction and possible effects of its approval. This assessmentalso examines various I alternativesto the proposedproject and recommendsa set of mitigation measuresto reduceor avoid potentially significantimpacts, This is a project EnvironmentalImpact Report (EIR) prepared in compliancewith the I California EnvironmentalQuality Act (CEOA) GuidelinesSection 15161. This EIR will be rwiewed by Port staff plannen and consideredfor certification by Port officials prior to any approvalsbeing made on the I HowardTerminal wharf extension. I B. ProposedAction I The Port of Oakland proposesto extendthe length of Berths 67 and 68 from 7,ilZlineal feet to 1,948feet to accommodatetwo large container ships simultaneously.The project would increasethe area of the Howard Terminal I wharf and yard by 48,240square feet. Berth 69, which is 558 feet long, would ceaseto function as a useableberth. The terminal storageyard would also be enlargedas part of the wharf extension,thus increasingthe yard area for I stackingand storing cargo containen, and improving truck circulation. A transit shed built in 1929would be demolishedin order to expandthe container storageyard and the berth area adjacentto the wharf would be I dredgedto 42 feel (13,600cubic yards) to create the new berth area and accommodatethe larger ships. Solid fill placedin the Inner Harbor would cover 46,500square feet of bottom. Much of this fill would derive from I deepeningberths alreadyat 42 feet to provide a neededsafety factor for the I deeper draft shipscalling on the Port. T t C}IARIES P, HOWARD TERMINAL E(TENSION JUNE 1994 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT I INTRODUCTION The project site is locatedwithin a developedmaritime industrial area and just T west of the Jack l-ondon Squarecommercial and office center. Vehicular accessto the site is from Market Street and Ma in Luther King Jr. Way, off I the Embarcadero. Ship accessfrom the SanFrancisco Bay is via the Oakland Estuary,which mnsistsof the Oakland Middle and Inner Harbor. I Severalmmponents of the project would take place off-site. The Port would build a rehandlingfacility on Berth 10 in which to dewater dredgematerials before disposingof them in landfills. Wharf and piling would be removedat I the Sherexand Pacific Drydock sites to meet permit requirementsregarding Bay fill. Public accesswould be improved along a portion ofthe shoreline at Jack London Square. Outer and inner harbor berths (22, 23, ?14,30,67 and t 68) would be deepenedto provide suitablefill for the wharf and yard extension, t C, Useof the EIR This assessmentis designed to fully inform the Port Boardof Commissioners, I responsibleagencies, and the publicat largeof the proposedactions and possibleeffects of their approval.This assessmentalso examines two altemativesto the proposedproject and recommendsa setof mitigation I measuresto reduceor avoidpotentially sigrificant impacts. This documentis a ProjectEIR for the proposedHoward Terminal Extension, consistent with I CEQAGuidelines Section 15161. Table 1 showspermit requirements.

  • Transcontinental Railroad Fact Sheet
    Transcontinental Railroad Fact Sheet Prior to the opening of the transcontinental railroad, it took four to six months to travel 2000 miles from the Missouri River to California by wagon. January 1863 – Central Pacific Railroad breaks ground on its portion of the railroad at Sacramento, California; the first rail is laid in October 1863. December 1863 – Union Pacific Railroad breaks ground on its portion of the railroad in Omaha, Nebraska; due to the Civil War, the first rail is not laid until July 1865. April 1868 – the Union Pacific reaches its highest altitude 8,242 feet above sea level at Sherman Pass, Wyoming. April 28, 1869 – a record of 10 miles of track were laid in a single day by the Central Pacific crews. May 10, 1869 – the last rail is laid in the Golden Spike Ceremony at Promontory Point, Utah. Total miles of track laid 1,776: 690 miles by the Central Pacific and 1086 by the Union Pacific. The Central Pacific Railroad blasted a total of 15 tunnels through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It took Chinese workers on the Central Pacific fifteen months to drill and blast through 1,659 ft of rock to complete the Summit Tunnel at Donner Pass in Sierra Nevada Mountains. Summit Tunnel is the highest point on the Central Pacific track. The Central Pacific built 40 miles of snow sheds to keep blizzards from blocking the tracks. To meet their manpower needs, both railroads employed immigrants to lay the track and blast the tunnels. The Central Pacific hired more than 13,000 Chinese laborers and Union Pacific employed 8,000 Irish, German, and Italian laborers.

Wood August 2009 © 2009 Leland K. Wood. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 by LELAND K. WOOD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Patrick S. Washburn Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WOOD, LELAND K., Ph.D., August 2009, Journalism When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Patrick S. Washburn The dissertation documents public-relations practices of officers and managers in two companies: the Central Pacific Railroad with offices in Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific Railroad with offices in New York City. It asserts that sophisticated and systematic corporate public relations were practiced during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, fifty years before historians generally place the beginning of such practice. Documentation of the transcontinental railroad practices was gathered utilizing existing historical presentations and a review of four archives containing correspondence and documents from the period. Those leading the two enterprises were compelled to practice public relations in order to raise $125 million needed to construct the 1,776-mile-long railroad by obtaining and keeping federal loan guarantees and by establishing and maintaining an image attractive to potential bond buyers.
