Notice of Availability of a Final General Conformity 
Determination and Record of Decision for the Middle Harbor 
Redevelopment Project, Port of Long Beach, Los Angeles County, CA

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

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: In April 2009, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles 
District, Regulatory Division (Corps) in coordination with the Port of 
Long Beach (POLB) completed and published a joint Final Environmental 
Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the Middle 
Harbor Redevelopment Project (Project) in the

[[Page 9400]]

POLB, including a Draft General Conformity Determination, for the 
Federal action associated with the Project. Comments were received on 
the Final EIS and Draft General Conformity Determination until May 3, 
2009. A General Conformity Determination was required because Project 
construction would require Federal action (i.e., issuance of a Corps 
permit for work and structures in and over navigable waters and 
discharges of fill into waters of the U.S.) and not all the Federal 
action's direct and indirect air emissions would be below specified de 
minimis thresholds (40 CFR 93.153(b)). On February 23, 2010, the Corps 
completed its environmental review and made a Final General Conformity 
Determination, executed the Record of Decision (ROD), and issued a 
Standard Individual Permit for the Federal action associated with the 
Project, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 
of the River and Harbor Act. The Corps considered and responded to all 
comments received in making the Final General Conformity Determination, 
executing the ROD, and issuing the Corps permit. 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 these documents from the Corps' Web site (http://www.spl.usace.army.mil/regulatory/POLB.htm).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions or requests concerning the 
Final General Conformity Determination or the ROD should be directed to 
Antal Szijj, Senior Project Manager, North Coast Branch, Regulatory 
Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2151 Alessandro Drive, Suite
