Pacific L. A. Marine Terminal
LLC Pier 400, Berth 408 Project
WELCOME! This web site highlights
our efforts to design and construct the new Pacific
L.A. Marine Terminal LLC Pier 400, Berth 408 Project
at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) in an environmentally
friendly, transparent and responsible manner. Traditionally,
the Los Angeles basin refineries have received their
crude oil supply from California and Alaska. These
sources are rapidly declining and this terminal will
assist in replacing this traditional crude supply.
Without this or another terminal, the Los Angeles
basin refineries will not be able to produce the products
to sustain our quality of life. This project is extremely
important to the economic growth and development of
the Los Angeles region and will reduce the need for
less efficient smaller tankers docking near residential
communities.
Pacific L.A. Marine Terminal LLC
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains All American
Pipeline, L.P. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
is engaged in the transportation, storage, terminalling
and marketing of crude oil, refined products and liquefied
petroleum gas and other natural gas related petroleum
products. Through its 50% equity ownership in PAA/Vulcan
Gas Storage, LLC, the Partnership also develops and
operates natural gas storage facilities. Headquartered
in Houston, Texas, the Partnership's common units
are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol “PAA.” For more information on Plains All American
Pipeline, L.P. see www.paalp.com.
There are a number of documents in
this website which reference Pacific Energy Partners
LP. Pacific Energy Partners LP has been merged into
Plains All American Pipeline L.P.. These documents
are considered to be the property of Plains All American
Pipeline L.P. and remain applicable to the project.
Why
do we need another Crude Oil Terminal?
As California and Alaskan crude oil production declines,
the need for imported crude oil is increasing. The
existing marine crude terminal infrastructure in Los
Angeles is inadequate to accommodate the anticipated
growth of waterborne imports; thus, the need exists
for the development of a new, world class, deep water
crude oil import facility at Port of Los Angeles Pier
400, Berth 408. <continued

Pier 400, Berth 408 and the Environment
We propose to develop a deep-water petroleum bulk
liquids marine offloading and storage facility at
Berth 408 on Pier 400 and related storage facilities
on Terminal Island in the Port of Los Angeles (Port).
The proposed facility will be used for importing only
crude oil and partially refined crude oil. <continued

Forums a Success
We appreciate the community's support of the
Pier 400 Community Education Forums held in
January, 2006. We have incorporated many of
the charts and graphs into this web site. <continued

EIR/EIS
Preparation Continues
The port of Los Angeles and the US Army Corps
of Engineers (Pier 400 lead agencies) are preparing
an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). There will be a public
comment period for on the EIR and EIS before
the project will be considered by the Los Angeles
Board of Harbor Commissioners. <continued
