Home My Public Portal About98-112 gSON, C CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 98-112 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, DELINEATING CERTAIN LOCATIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF PIPELINES OR OTHER FACILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH A FRANCHISE GRANTED TO SOUTHERN PACIFIC PIPE LINES, INC., AND ASSIGNED TO SOUTHERN PACIFIC PIPE LINES PARTNERSHIP, L.P., WHICH HAS CHANGED ITS NAME TO SFPP, L.P. The City Council of the City of Carson hereby finds, resolves, and orders as follows: Section 1. Southern Pacific Pipe Lines, Inc. was granted an oil pipeline franchise by Ordinance No. 81-569, and given approval to install and operate certain pipelines. The City subsequently consented to the assignment and transfer to Southern Pacific Pipe Lines Partnership, L.P. of the pipeline franchise previously granted to Southern Pacific Pipe Lines, Inc., by Ordinance No. 89-885. Section 2. On January 30, 1990, Southern Pacific Pipe Lines Partnership, L.P., amended its Certificate of Limited Partnership to change its name to SFPP, L.P. Notice of this amendment was filed with the California Secretary of State on February 8, 1990. Section 3. Ordinance No. 81-569 provides that the franchisee may not install or operate any facilities in, under, along or across any streets within the City of Carson without prior approval by Resolution of the City Council. Section 4. SFPP, L.P., desires to revise the route description for its pipeline franchise to include an additional 50 feet of 16-inch pipeline across Del Amo Boulevard. Section 5. The City Council finds that the public interest would be served by limiting the installation or operation of pipelines or other facilities to those certain streets, highways, roads, alleys and other public places dedicated to public use shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and described as follows: 16-INCH REFINED PETROLEUM PRODUCTS PIPELINE Beginning at a point from the Watson Station on the south side of Del Amo Boulevard immediately west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, then northeasterly crossing the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and Del Amo Boulevard, approximately fifty (50) feet to the common boundary line between the City of Los Angeles and the City of Carson. CARSON CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 98-112 ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING Page 1 NOVEMBER 10, 1998 98-083 981031 C1380-00930ddp 02042840 Section 6. The installation of pipelines is approved within the limitations stated in Section 6 hereof, in addition to the limitations previously set forth in Exhibits A through E of Ordinance No. 81-569 as adopted on July 6, 1981. Section 7. The City Council finds that: A. The Final Environmental Impact ("EIR") for the installation and operation of Carson to Norwalk Pipeline Project (the "Project'), has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The EIR was prepared by the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") as the lead agency, and a Notice of Determination has been filed by the CPUC dated October 26, 1998. The EIR identifies potentially significant environmental impacts which may result from the Project including those related to air quality, environmental contamination, system safety and risk of upset, and transportation and traffic. B. Implementation of mitigation measures identified in the EIR will substantially mitigate many of the impacts described above to the extent feasible. The EIR also identifies significant adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated or avoided. Such impacts are largely associated with accidental ruptures or spills from the pipeline. C. The City Council has reviewed and considered the alternatives to the Project which are identified in the EIR and considered by the CPUC. Those alternatives include the Santa Fe, Cherry, Paramount, Bellflower Rail, Alondra, Artesia, and Shoemaker alternate route segments, and the No Project Alternative. With respect to these alternatives, the City Council finds that there are economic, social and other considerations of the Project described in the EIR that make these alternatives infeasible. The only way to avoid the unavoidable impacts discussed in Paragraph B, above, would be to cease transporting oil by any means. D. The mitigation measures described in the Proposed Mitigation Monitoring, Compliance, and Reporting Plan contained in the EIR, avoid or substantially lessen the potentially significant environmental effects of the Project. Further, the social, economic and environmental benefits of the Project as described in the EIR outweigh any unavoidable adverse environmental effects that may occur. Such benefits include the needed transportation of oil to benefit the public as described in the EIR. Due to such overriding benefits and considerations, the City Council finds that the unavoidable adverse environmental effects of the Project are acceptable. This Section 7 of this Resolution constitutes a statement of overriding considerations pursuant to CEQA.
