Pipeline Capping – Harbor Development Permit No. 25-039

The project involves excavating a trench approximately 6 feet deep, 5 feet wide, and 8 feet long at Anaheim Street in Long Beach, California, to expose both ends of an existing idle 8-inch oil pipeline. Once exposed, the pipeline ends will be thoroughly cleaned of internal debris and residual hydrocarbons, then securely capped to prevent leaks and ensure long-term safety. The excavation site will be backfilled and restored to its original condition upon completion. This work is classified as a minor alteration under California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), qualifying for categorical exemptions under Sections 15301 and 15304, which exempt small-scale maintenance and land modifications of existing facilities from extensive environmental review. The project is managed by the Port of Long Beach as the lead agency, with Crimson Pipeline LLC as the applicant and performing entity. The Notice of Exemption was signed on August 25, 2025, and the forecast notice was posted on September 2, 2025, indicating imminent project initiation. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR) apply, and no contract value, payment details, invoicing procedures, contracting officer, or technical representative have been formally designated in the available documentation. The work is to be performed entirely on-site in Long Beach, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Port of Long Beach’s Environmental Planning Division. There are no specified delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging or marking requirements, special personnel obligations, security clearances, or contract options, as the effort is a straightforward, non-complex pipeline capping activity within a state-regulated environmental exemption framework.
