Cost Share Agreement Between City of Long Beach and City of Los Angeles for Environmental Services at Long Beach Leads Extension Parcels LBX/MY-851 and LBX/SE-8

The proposed action approves a cost share agreement with the City of Los Angeles for environmental services at Long Beach Leads Extension Parcels LBX/MY-851 and LBX/SE-853, including historical and future costs in an amount not to exceed $1,100,000, with a term commencing on the date of agreement signature through October 31, 2030. The Cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles have jointly owned LBX/MY-851 and LBX/SE-853 since 1994 and 2020, respectively. Both parcels are under regulatory oversight by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, which requires groundwater monitoring, free product recovery, and remediation of soil and groundwater. The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) has managed the environmental regulatory responsibilities since 2007. The agreement allows the Port of Long Beach (POLB) to reimburse the POLA for previous testing, monitoring, reporting, and remediation actions, and establishes a cost share arrangement between POLB and POLA for environmental work to be performed through October 31, 2030.
