The project includes replacement of the existing structurally deficient Schuyler Heim Bridge (lift bridge) with a fixed-span bridge. The project is needed to provide for uninterrupted transport of people, freight, and goods between Terminal Island and the mainland after a major earthquake, and to improve safety and relieve congestion on the local street network. The proposed replacement bridge would provide a route across the Cerritos Channel to Terminal Island that would remain in service to ensure ground and vessel transportation immediately following a maximum credible earthquake. A 14.3-meter [m] (47-foot [ft])-high and 54.9-m (180-ft)-wide navigable channel for the fixed bridge is considered in this study (see Exhibit D-1). Since the elimination of U.S. Naval vessel requirements for passage though this portion of the Cerritos Channel, the 49.6-m (163-ft) vertical clearance that is currently provided by the existing Schuyler Heim Bridge has less justification than when it was used by U.S. Naval vessels. Various communications were initiated with waterway users and the local Guard commands concerning the overall needs of the transportation system and the reasonable needs of existing and future vessel traffic on the waterway. The consensus indicated a proposed fixed-bridge navigational opening, providing a 14.3-m (47-ft)-vertical and 54.9-m (180-ft)-horizontal clearance, would have the best potential to receive a favorable endorsement when considering the reasonable needs of existing and future vessel traffic, highway traffic, ports, seismic activity contingencies, and the development of the overall infrastructure for the region. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is responsible for issuing permits for bridges and structures that cross the Cerritos Channel. As part of the bridge permitting process, the USCG considers the anticipated economic impacts to marine vessel usage. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was engaged to quantify impacts to marine vessel navigation through the Cerritos Channel resulting from the potential reconstruction of the Schuyler Heim Bridge from a moveable to a fixed span. The primary economic impact would be increased operating costs for marine vessels that would have to detour around Terminal Island as a result of the new height restriction. As shown in Table ES-1, these economic impacts are estimated to be $23.6 million over a 20-year period (see Table C-5 in Appendix C).

As shown, construction impacts to marine vessel navigation are $2.6 million (see Table C-5 in Appendix C). There are a number of other economic impacts associated with the proposed bridge reconstruction project that are not the focus of this study but that should be recognized, including: • Income and jobs associated with the direct, indirect, and induced spending on labor and materials for construction would lessen the overall economic impacts of the project in the short term. • Added costs of roadway delay, vehicle operations, and possibly accidents during construction would temporarily increase the economic impacts of the project. • Substantial benefits to roadway users during operations from reduced delay (due to elimination of the lift bridge) and fewer accidents, as well as some indirect benefits to businesses resulting from more reliable and consistent delivery of goods to and from Terminal Island, would decrease the overall economic impacts of the project in the long term.

Introduction 1.1 Purpose and Need The purpose of the proposed project is to: 1) provide a structurally and seismically safe vehicular connection between Terminal Island and the mainland that could remain in service following a major earthquake; and 2) provide a high-capacity alternative route between Terminal Island and I-405. The project includes replacement of the existing Schuyler Heim Bridge (lift bridge) with a fixed-span bridge. The project is needed to provide for uninterrupted transport of people, freight, and goods between Terminal Island and the mainland after a major earthquake, and to improve safety and relieve congestion on the local street network. This economic study was prepared to determine the economic impact of construction and operation of the proposed build alternatives analyzed in the Schuyler Heim Bridge Replacement and SR-47 Expressway Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). The EIS/EIR considers six alternatives, which include four build alternatives (Figure 1). The build alternatives directly affect marine vessel movements within the Cerritos Channel. This study will support the Marine Vessel Transportation section included in the EIS/EIR. Economic impact calculations used throughout this report can be seen in Appendix C. 1.2 San Pedro Bay Ports The Port of Los Angeles is located in San Pedro Bay. The Bay is protected from Pacific Ocean surge conditions by the San Pedro, Middle, and Long Beach Breakwaters. The openings between these breakwaters, known as Angels Gate and Queens Gate, provide entry to the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, respectively. Vessel traffic channels have been established in the harbor, and numerous aids to navigation have been placed. Many types of recreational and commercial marine vessels utilize the harbor area, including fishing boats, pleasure vessels, passenger-carrying vessels, tankers, auto carriers, container vessels, dry bulk carriers, and barges. Commercial vessels follow vessel traffic lanes established by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) when approaching and leaving the harbor. These traffic lanes meet at the “Precautionary Area” where incoming and outgoing traffic crosses. The Harbor utilizes a Vessel Traffic Information Service (VTIS), operated by the Marine Exchange and the USCG, to monitor traffic within the main approaches to the harbor including the Precautionary Area and vicinity with shore-based radar. Radar systems are also operated by both the Long Beach and Los Angeles pilot services to monitor vessel traffic within the harbor area. This information is available to all vessels upon request. The pilot services also manage the use of anchorages under an agreement with the USCG. A communication system links the following key operational centers: USCG Captain of the Port, VTIS, Los Angeles Pilot Station, Long Beach Pilot Station, and Port of Long Beach Security. This system is used to exchange vessel movement information and safety notices among the various organizations. ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 1-1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.2.1.1 Vessel Traffic An estimated 5,845 vessels called at the Ports in 2005; this is an increase from the 5,727 calls in 2004. Over the subsequent 3 years, vessel traffic to the Ports is anticipated to increase slightly (Table 1). Commercial vessel traffic in the Cerritos Channel consists mostly of recreational vessels, tugs and barges, and shipping, with few tankers and other marine traffic.

This bridge currently accommodates three 3.3- to 3.6-m (11- to 12-ft) lanes in each direction (no shoulders). The Schuyler Heim Bridge is a steel vertical-lift bridge that is a popular route for truck traffic because of its relatively short and low sustained longitudinal grades; therefore, it has become a vital truck traffic link between the Ports and the mainland. Because it is a vital transportation link, and due to a state mandate, the Schuyler Heim Bridge must sustain a major earthquake without collapsing and be able to provide immediate service following a major earthquake. The Schuyler Heim Bridge is normally 11 m (36 ft) to 12.5 m (41 ft) above water, depending on tide levels. Data obtained by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) indicate that the majority of vessel traffic through the Cerritos Channel consists of tugboats and tugboats with barges; but it also includes ships, sailboats, cruise boats, fire boats, and other vessels. Tugboats generally moor in Long Beach and Los Angeles Harbors and guide barges through the channel because the channel provides a quick link between docking points. Tanker ships, sailboats, and fire boats find it easier and faster to use the channel but rarely do because of the uncertainty of delay times. Cruise boats typically make loops around Terminal Island and dock in Los Angeles. 1-2 TB012006001SCO/BS2450.DOC/060060005 I-110 Harry Bridges Ave Pacific Coast Hwy Anaheim St s Sea id e Ave W ilm a Oce nB e Henry Ford Av Schuyler Heim Bridge SR-47 eda St to nA ve 223rd St lv d Alam Sepulveda Blvd Na ay vy W ing I-405 Pier S of Port of Long Beach Wardlow Rd SR-103 Willow St W.

INTRODUCTION The proposed replacement bridge would have the following height and width: • Vertical Clearance. The vertical clearance of the proposed bridge would be at 14.3-m (47 ft) over the mean high water level (MHWL). • Channel Width. The width of the navigable channel would remain at 54.9 m (180 ft). For purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that false work erected during construction would temporarily reduce the navigable channel opening to 13.1 m (43 ft) above the MHWL and 22.9 m (75 ft) wide for 2 years. It is assumed that the vehicle capacity of the bridge during construction would not change. 1.4 Scope of Analysis The USCG is responsible for issuing permits for bridges and structures that cross the Cerritos Channel. As part of the bridge permitting process, the USCG considers the anticipated economic impacts to marine vessel usage. Caltrans was engaged to quantify impacts to marine vessel navigation through the Cerritos Channel resulting from potential reconstruction of the Schuyler Heim Bridge (from a moveable to a fixed span). If the Schuyler Heim Bridge is rebuilt as a fixed span, some vessels that currently pass through the channel would need to circumnavigate Terminal Island. The economic impacts to marine vessels result from added operating costs related to detours. Impacts are estimated during construction and during operation of the bridge (see Appendix C). The project will also result in beneficial economic impacts from improved mobility and safety for vehicular traffic. These impacts are discussed qualitatively. ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 1-5 2. Methodology This section documents the sources of data, methods, and key assumptions of the analysis. 2.1 Sources of Data Several sources were used to estimate the impacts presented in this report. The main sources of data used in this analysis include: • Video analysis by Port of Los Angeles for 2000 and 2001 • Schuyler Heim Bridge activity logs, April-June 2001 and April-June 2002 • 1994 Badger Bridge Reconstruction Economic Analysis, by LA Harbor Department • 1999, 2000, and 2001 Annual Marina Surveys, by Marina Masters Association • Caltrans, Schuyler Heim Bridge Lift Data for January and July 2003, January and July 2004, and January and July 2005 • Operating cost data from interviews with a vessel operator and published reports and charter rates Contacts and references are provided in Sections 6 and 7. Various support documents were reviewed, including prior analyses of the impacts to marine vessel navigation resulting from replacement of the Badger Avenue Bridge (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard, 1990). 2.2 Assumptions Historical data, recent data, traffic projections, current infrastructure improvements, and information from interviews were analyzed to ascertain trends and patterns. A discussion of the key assumptions made for this analysis follows. 2.2.1 Operating Costs Estimated marine vessel operating costs are shown in Table 2. The data collected for these estimates are rental per-hour rates charged to customers, which include labor, vessel depreciation, maintenance, fuel, and operating margin. Operating cost information for tugs and tugs with barges was obtained from Crowley Maritime Services (Crowley), while data on fishing boats and sailboats were obtained from published rental rates. When data for a particular vessel type were unavailable, costs from one of the available vessel types were used. ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 2-1 2. METHODOLOGY TABLE 2 Vessel Operating Costs $/hr Tugs 1,370 Tugs w/Barge 1,370 Fishing 150 Sail 100 Cruise 1,370 Oil Cont. 1,370 Ship 1,370 Power 150 CG Cutter 1,370 Tanker 1,370 Tow 1,370 Fire Boat 1,370 2.2.2 Vessel Size Interviews with vessel, bridge, and Port facility operators and the USCG indicate that the size of vessels traveling through Cerritos Channel, on average, is not likely to increase over time. The Port of Los Angeles is bringing taller fire-fighting vessels into operation; however, these new vessels are smaller (in both beam and height) than the majority of vessels that currently travel through the Cerritos Channel. The economic impacts derived in this study are based on detours of marine vessels that would no longer be able to travel through the Cerritos Channel because of height restrictions (a worst-case scenario). However, some operators may modify their vessels (such as mast height reductions) to allow passage through the channel. As fleets are replaced, operators will have a strong economic incentive to use replacement vessels that can pass under the new, fixed-bridge structure. Such modifications are likely to occur when the economic costs of the modifications are less than the long-term operational costs associated with detours. Consequently, actual economic impacts are likely to be less than described herein. 2.2.3 Distribution of Traffic by Vessel Type The number and type of marine vessels that required a bridge lift at the Schuyler Heim Bridge from 2003 to 2005 are shown in Table 3. Those vessels that did not require a bridge lift were not recorded. The data were grouped by type as shown in Table 2. The 2003 data were adjusted because the bridge was closed from January 1 to January 17, 2003. During this time, no vessels were able to traverse through the channel, so the missing data were estimated by adding the average from this period in 2004 and 2005 (see Table C-2 in Appendix C). 2-2 TB012006001SCO/BS2450.DOC/060060005 2.

This information demonstrates that vessel traffic through the channel declined from 2003 to 2005. Thus, the 2005 data were used as an estimate of the number of crossings that would be likely to occur in future years. 2.2.4 Seasonality On the basis of the interviews, it was determined that Cerritos Channel marine traffic is seasonal in nature: peaking in June, July, and August. Vessel traffic data collected from Caltrans included data from January and July 2003, January and July 2004, and January and July 2005. From these data, annual traffic levels by vessel type were calculated by multiplying each monthly figure by six. This resulted in yearly data for 2003, 2004, and 2005. This method will help account for the seasonality that occurs in the channel (see Figure 2 and Table C-2 in Appendix C). 2.2.5 Length of Detour The estimated amount of time needed to detour around the Schuyler Heim Bridge is shown in Table 4. The through-channel data provided by Caltrans includes delay times, if any, experienced by vessels waiting for the bridge to lift. The time to detour around Terminal Island is an estimated time based on data from Crowley and from a prior Badger Bridge Replacement Analysis study conducted by the Los Angeles Harbor Department in 1994. The detour times for tugs and for tugs with barges are estimates based on interviews with Crowley. It is assumed that the tug-with-barge combinations and tow vessels will travel at slower speeds than other vessels and will use Crowley’s time needed to detour estimate of 90 minutes. It is also assumed that all other vessels will travel at a higher speed and will use ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 2-3 2. METHODOLOGY Crowley’s time needed to detour estimate of 60 minutes. For the purposes of our economic analysis, the added cost to operators is the net detour time, which is the detour time minus the through-channel time (see Table C-2 in Appendix C).

Conceptually, should a vessel wish to cross under a fixed-span Schuyler Heim Bridge and its mast is too high, but were it folded it could pass, the costs associated with that act are relevant economic impacts. Vessel operators interviewed suggested that time spent by the crew to fold and unfold a mast for this purpose would take the crew away from other shipboard duties; therefore, the costs associated with that time are a real cost impact. Data were unavailable on the time necessary to fold masts and the likelihood that vessels would fold masts rather than detour around the channel. Thus, it was assumed that all vessels with masts higher than 14.3 m (47 ft) would detour (i.e., no vessels would fold their masts to pass under the new fixed bridge). This assumption will overstate impacts to marine vessels to the extent that operators elect to fold their masts rather than detour once the new fixed bridge is in place. 2-4 TB012006001SCO/BS2450.DOC/060060005 Ju ly Ju 1s ly t 2 Ju nd ly Ju 3rd ly Ju 4th ly Ju 5th ly Ju 6th ly Ju 7th ly Ju 8th ly J u 9t ly h J u 10t ly h Ju 11t ly h Ju 12t ly h J u 13t ly h J u 14t ly h Ju 15t ly h Ju 16t ly h J u 17t ly h J u 18t ly h J u 19t ly h Ju 20th ly Ju 21 ly st 2 Ju 2n ly d J u 23r ly d Ju 24t ly h J u 25t ly h J u 26t ly h J u 27t ly h Ju 28t ly h J u 29t ly h Ju 30t ly h 31 st Number of Vessels Requiring Bridge Lift Ja n Ja 1st n 2 Ja nd n 3 Ja r d n 4 Ja th n 5t Ja h n 6 Ja th n 7 Ja th n 8 Ja th n Ja 9th n 1 Ja 0th n 11 J a th n 1 Ja 2th n 1 Ja 3th n 1 Ja 4th n 1 Ja 5th n 1 Ja 6th n 1 Ja 7th n 18 J a th n 1 Ja 9th n 2 Ja 0th n Ja 21s n t 2 Ja 2nd n 2 Ja 3rd n 2 Ja 4th n 25 J a th n 2 Ja 6th n 2 Ja 7th n 2 Ja 8th n 2 Ja 9th n 3 Ja 0th n 31 st Number of Vessels Requiring Bridge Lift 2.

METHODOLOGY 2.2.7 Growth in Marine Vessel Traffic in the Channel As shown in Table 3, the number of vessels requiring a lift of the Schuyler Heim Bridge has generally declined in recent years. According to Caltrans, this is because more vessels are choosing instead to detour around Terminal Island because of the uncertainty in delay times in the channel. These delay times are associated primarily with increased rail traffic on the Badger Avenue Bridge. Port activity and rail traffic are expected to continue increasing in the future. Thus, it was assumed that future marine vessel traffic will remain constant through time, which may tend to overstate the economic impacts to marine vessels. 2.2.8 Horizontal Constraints Impacts to marine vessel operation could occur because of both horizontal and vertical constraints imposed by Schuyler Heim Bridge reconstruction. The magnitudes of such impacts are based on a 14.3-m (47-ft) height and 54.9-m (180-ft) navigable channel width (pier-to-pier under the Schuyler Heim Bridge at water level). Interviewees, field observations, and collected data show that only tug/barge combinations (in Cerritos Channel this is typically tugs with fuel bunker barges) potentially could be constrained because of the horizontal distance between bridge fenders at water level. The proposed bridge width of 14.3 m (180 ft) is the same as currently exists and is likely to be adequate for all vessels that currently travel in the Cerritos Channel. Thus, it was assumed that there would be no constraints to marine traffic from the width of the new bridge. Because the estimated channel width during a portion of construction is only 22.9 m (75 ft), it is assumed that no tug with barge combinations could pass under the bridge during construction when this restriction is in effect. Several operators mentioned that they currently “use” the fact that the Schuyler Heim Bridge span is wider than that of the Badger Bridge in crossing the channel. This is due to conditions associated with certain prevailing winds. The procedure involves aligning the vessel to travel through the passageway under the bridge in a skewed fashion. Rather than starting in the middle of the channel, the vessel will start closer to one side and end up closer to the other. Design consideration should be given to operators’ use of this procedure when evaluating various width and pier placement options. ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 2-7 3. Impacts During Construction The proposed Schuyler Heim Bridge reconstruction would result in a number of different economic impacts. For example, construction of the facility (estimated to cost $143 to $162 million) would provide short-term income and employment for local construction workers and state and local tax revenue. This analysis focuses on the impacts to marine vessel navigation and recognizes impacts that might affect road users. 3.1 Marine Vessel Impacts At this preliminary level of engineering, it is assumed that construction of the proposed replacement bridge would result in constraints to marine vessel navigation for a 2-year period. The temporary navigational constraints would be a reduced clearance height of 13.1 m (43 ft) and reduced width of 22.9 m (75 ft). The current height of the bridge is roughly similar to the proposed height of the bridge during construction. Thus, the number and type of vessels that required a lift of the bridge for passage during 2005 were used to represent the number and type of vessels that would be required to detour around the channel during construction with the exception noted in Section 2. It is assumed that no tug with barge combinations could pass under the bridge during construction when the channel is restricted to a width of 22.9 m (75 ft). The estimated economic impact associated with constructing the proposed replacement bridge in the Cerritos Channel is $2.6 million (see Appendix C, Table C-1). 3.2 Roadway Impacts The proposed Schuyler Heim Bridge replacement could result in longer travel times and distances for freight and other roadway users during construction. At this time, it is estimated that the bridge would not be closed to road traffic for more than a few days at a time during each phase. There will be lane closures, however, during the construction period that will restrict traffic movement. ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 3-1 4. Impacts During Operation 4.1 Marine Vessel Navigation Impacts During operations, the bridge would be 14.3 m (47 ft) high. Data from the Port of Los Angeles for the year 2002 indicate that about 13 percent of the vessels over 12.1 m (40 ft) in height that traveled in the channel at that time were between 12.1 m (40 ft) and 14.3 m (47 ft) (Port of Los Angeles , 2002). Thus, it was assumed that 13 percent of the vessels requiring a lift in 2005 could pass under a 14.3-m (47-ft) bridge and would not need to detour. These numbers are shown below in Table 5.

ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 4-1 4. IMPACTS DURING OPERATION 4.2.1 Economic Impacts from Improved Mobility Replacement of the Schuyler Heim Bridge with a fixed structure is critical to successful completion of the expressway project. When complete, the 2.7-kilometer (km) (1.7-mile [mi]) expressway would provide the missing link between the Ocean Boulevard Interchange on Terminal Island and Alameda Street on the mainland. This link would allow traffic to continue north to connect to Pacific Coast Highway, I-405, and/or SR-91. The proposed expressway would also help maximize use of the recently completed six-lane Alameda Street and provide crossings over the signalized intersections at Henry Ford Avenue, Anaheim Street, and Denni Street. Year 2030 traffic projections indicate that the proposed expressway would result in a 6 percent reduction in truck traffic on I-710 (between Ocean Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway) and a 5 percent reduction in truck traffic on I-110 (between SR-47 and Pacific Coast Highway). Traffic conditions on parallel arterial streets also would improve. There are many economic benefits that would result from this project including: • Substantial reduced delay benefits to roadway users during operations due to elimination of the lift bridge • Fewer accidents • Indirect benefits to businesses resulting from more reliable and consistent delivery of goods to and from Terminal Island 4.2.2 Improved Safety and Emergency Response The SR-47 Expressway and Schuyler Heim Bridge would provide an important service route that would enable emergency service vehicles and equipment to access Terminal Island in the event of an emergency. In the event of an earthquake, the Schuyler Heim Bridge and SR-47 Expressway would provide a route to both the I-710 and I-110 highways should service be disrupted on both the Gerald Desmond Bridge and the Vincent Thomas Bridge. They would also provide a route that can remain in service to ensure ground and vessel transportation immediately following a major earthquake. After a major earthquake, the Schuyler Heim Bridge and SR-47 Expressway would provide safety for vehicular users of the bridge and marine users of the Cerritos Channel. 4.2.3 Ongoing Bridge Cost Reductions Replacement of the Schuyler Heim Bridge would minimize the annual capital costs of bridge improvements by maximizing the life span of the bridge, and minimize future maintenance, operational activities, and costs of the bridge. 4-2 TB012006001SCO/BS2450.DOC/060060005 5. Permit-Related Compensation Compensation related to marine vessel detours would be provided as a permit condition if lawfully imposed by the U.S. Coast Guard.

ACET Draft Memorandum DRAFT MEMORANDUM TO: Harley Martin, CH2M HILL FROM: Elaine Silvestro, ACET DATE: November 8, 2005 Project Name: SR-47 Subject: Caltrans Data for Schuyler Heim Bridge Cc: Dan Pitzler, CH2M HILL The following is information related to recent historical records of the operation of the Schuyler Heim Bridge and the lifting of this bridge for vessels traversing through Cerritos Channel: Schuyler Heim Bridge • Height of bridge is normally 36 feet to 41 feet above water (depends on tide) compared to the Badger Bridge (aka Henry Ford Avenue Bridge) which is approximately 6 feet to 8 feet above water (only a 2 man vessel can go underneath without a lift). • Caltrans is the operator of the bridge and only record the vessels that go under the bridge requiring a lift. If a vessel clears the bridge (without a lift), there is no data available. • The information recorded by Caltrans is the date, name and type of vessel, direction of vessel (east or west bound), and time of passage (up and down of the bridge). • Full height (lift) of the bridge is 126 feet above water. • The Caltran operator controls the height of lift (based on their experience) unless the vessel requests a specific height. • Caltrans maintains 3 shifts; midnight to 8 a.m., 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and 4 p.m. to midnight. • Bridge is lifted only after traffic (6 lanes) comes to a complete halt and it is verified that no pedestrians are on the bridge. • Recorded times for the lifting of the bridge start when the light on the bridge changes from green to amber and stop when the vessel clears the bridge and it is lowered. ES122006004SCO/BS2450.DOC/063410002 B-1 APPENDIX B. ACET DRAFT MEMORANDUM • In 1985, the recording system began. • The Caltrans operator is contacted by the vessel by audio signal, visual signal, or marine radio (this must comply with Coast Guard Regulations). The majority of the contacts are by marine radio. • Vessel names and types are recorded by visual observation. If no name is visible, then none is recorded. • According to Richard Luecht of Caltrans, in 1988 approximately 500 to 600 vessels required lifts in the winter and 700 to 800 vessels required lifts in the summer. Since this time, there has been increased train traffic on Badger Bridge, an adjacent, separate, lift bridge with a lower headroom clearance. Therefore, there has been an additional waiting time for Badger Bridge to lift in Cerritos Channel. Consequently, the number of lifts has decreased (vessels are going around). Vessel Information Tugboats Tugboats park in both Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors, whereas ships come in on the Los Angeles side. Ships come in and go out through Angel’s Gate. In order for tugboats to get to ships from Long Beach to Los Angeles , it is shorter to use Cerritos Channel (less fuel and less time). If they have to go around, they travel through Cerritos Channel, the Back Channel, Long Beach Channel, Outer Harbor (staying inside the breakwater), then up the Main Channel and back into the Cerritos Channel. This can take approximately 45 to 60 minutes of additional time. The following is a list of the tugboat companies that were identified from their vessel name. Please note that not all vessels recorded by Caltrans were identified. The unidentified owners of the vessels (listed below the table) may be one of the companies listed in the table or be independently owned.

Barges are pushed and maneuvered by tugboats. Barge names include: Alseabay, Alan G, Bonnie R, Columbia, CR Starlight, Cypress L, Hannah, JJ, John S. Meek, Jovalan, Max III, Olympic L, Rockford, San Pedro, Southman, Sullivan, Sunset Bay, Tasita, Wonkiakum, #1, #25, #30, WT30, #45, 242, 550-1, 550-2, 550-4. Barges were not included in the table above. Ships Vopak is located on the west side of the Badger Bridge (and west of the Schuyler Heim Bridge). Vopak is an operator of independent tank storage terminals and allows for efficient delivery from stocking location to customer (by rail, truck or ship). The Vopak Terminal in Long Beach has 55 tanks for a total capacity of approximately 15 million gallons (approximately 357,000 barrels). These tanks contain a variety of chemicals including primary organics, organic intermediates, organic end-chemicals, inorganic chemicals, fuel, refined products and plasticizers. The dock along Cerritos Channel is 725 feet in length, 100 feet wide (beam) and the water (draught) is 36 feet deep. On average, there has been one ship per month to go under the Schuyler Heim Bridge during the months of January and July in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Typically, two tugboats were required to maneuver and dock the ship at the Vopak Terminal. Sailboats The majority of sailboats dock in Los Angeles. Also easier to use channel than go around. Cruise Boats Cruise boats make loops around Terminal Island, majority dock in Los Angeles. Fire Boats There are 3 fire boats; two in Long Beach (Challenger and Liberty) and one in Los Angeles. Vessel / Schuyler Heim Bridge Data The months of January and July for the years of 2003, 2004, and 2005 were reviewed. One month during the winter season and one month during the summer season were chosen for comparison purposes. This data is attached and is as follows: B-4 • For both seasons, the greatest percentage of vessels to require a lift was from tugboats and sailboats (91% to 96%). • For both seasons, tugboats exceeded the number of sailboats and other vessels. In the winter season, there were 3.7 to 4.7 tugboats for every one sailboat. In the summer season, this ratio decreased to 1.5 to 2.6 tugboats for every 1 sailboat. TB012006001SCO/BS2450.DOC/060060005 APPENDIX B. ACET DRAFT MEMORANDUM • In the winter season, the number of vessels ranged from 222 to 230 per month, and in the summer season, ranged from 222 to 299 per month. • As stated previously, in 1988 approximately 500 to 600 vessels required lifts in the winter and 700 to 800 vessels required lifts in the summer. The number of lifts has decreased (vessels are going around) due to the waiting time for Badger Bridge to lift. • Typically, the busiest day of the year is July 4th. In 2003, 40 vessels (75% sailboats) required a lift, and in 2004, 31 vessels (71% sailboats) required a lift. However, in 2005, only 19 vessels (26% sailboats) required a lift. In should be noted that on July 4th, sailboats travel through the Cerritos Channel to enjoy the fireworks show presented by the Queen Mary. However, in 2005, the Queen Mary did not present a fireworks show. The future presentation of this show is unknown.

C-14 TB012006001SCO/BS2450.DOC/060060005 APPENDIX C. CALCULATION OF ECONOMIC IMPACTS TO MARINE VESSEL NAVIGATION TABLE C-7 List of Assumptions 1. Assume that impacts to the channel during the construction period last for 485 days from September 1, 2009, to December 29, 2010. 2. Assume that the contractor works 7 days per week during the construction period. 3. Assume that “Intermittent” closure days will be broken up by having half of the days as restricted access (43’x75’) days and half of the days as full closure days. This means that, in 2009, of the 20 days that are considered intermittent, 10 are restricted access days and 10 are full closure days. Also, in 2010, of the 20 days that are considered intermittent, 10 are restricted access days and 10 are full closure days. 4. Assume that, during construction, the channel will have restricted access of 43'x75' for 112 days (this includes 10 days from the "intermittent" closure days) in 2009 and 148 days (this includes 10 days from the “intermittent” closure days) in 2010. During this time, 100% of tugs with barge will have to detour. 5. Assume that, during construction, there will be 10 days (this includes 10 days from the “intermittent” closure days) of complete closures days in 2009 and 35 days (this includes 10 days from the “intermittent” closure days) in 2010. During this time, 100% of vessels will need to detour. 6. Assume that, during construction, the channel will also be fully open with access of 47'x180', as would be the case during the Postconstruction phase, for 180 days in 2010. During this time, 13% more vessels that require a bridge lift today will be able to pass under the bridge. 7. Assume that the time to traverse through the channel is calculated between POLA Berth 210 and POLB Berth B86 and takes 25 minutes at a speed of 5 knots. 8. Assume net added detour times to be the time it takes to detour around Terminal Island. 9. Assume, based on Crowley estimates, that tugs with barges will take 30 minutes longer to detour than tugs alone. 10. Assume there is no future annual growth in marine vessel traffic through the Cerritos Channel because recent years have trended downward.
