have also expressed interest in using land in Reeves Field, recently 

 released from leasehold by the Navy, for dry bulk storage, interim 

 storage tanks, oil and LNG terminal facilities. 



2. Port of Long Beach and Surrounding Areas . The Port of Long Beach, 

 located on the eastern half of the San Pedro Bay, has been identified by 

 SOHIO, Inc. as the western terminal for its oil shipments from Valdez, 

 Alaska. However, the California Air Resources Board has indicated that 

 the offloading of tankers in the port would contribute a hydrocarbon load 

 to the Los Angeles air basin that would cause serious violation of 

 Federal air quality standards. The Chairman of the CARB has written the 

 Director of the Federal Energy Administration, stating that unless effec- 

 tive vapor recovery devices are developed and installed on all tankers in 



the Alaska trade, a permit cannot be granted SOHIO for the Long Beach

 terminal . 



The Port of Long Beach General Plan of 1975 contains descriptions of 



oil tank modules, possible expansions of tanker facilities, present and 



future land transportation systems, utility services, ship bunkering and

 oil transmission systems. There is also industrially-zoned land around 



the port that could accommodate OCS-related development. A significant 

 area of industrially-zoned land also exists in the southeast part of the 

 City of Long Beach, adjacent to Orange County. This land is currently 

 occupied by two large power generating plants and by oil drilling opera- 

 tions. 



3. El Segundo . El Segundo would be identified as an oil and gas 

 land base only if Santa Monica Bay were to be leased. The withdrawal 

 of the Bay from Sale 35 indicates that no development will take place
