The Port of Oakland proposes to construct and operate a 150 acre rail-yard terminal to accommodate projected growth in intermodal (transportation mode to transportation mode, i.e.: ship to rail) container distribution from its marine terminals. The project is proposed pursuant to the objectives of the Port of Oakland's 'Vision 2000' Program as described in the Final EIS/EIR, Disposal and Reuse of Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Oakland, VISION 2000 Maritime Development (July 1997). The JIT project is a component of the Vision 2000 Program. The environmental analysis for the JIT will tier off the EIS/EIR mentioned above. An Initial Study has been prepared for the JIT project and identified the potential for the project to have significant impacts primarily related to air quality, traffic, noise and contaminated materials. The Initial Study analysis identified the potential for the project to contribute cumulative air emissions in exceedance of CEQA significance criteria if not mitigated. In addition, the increase in traffic that would occur as a result of the project may potentially contribute to an exceedance in acceptable cumulative traffic volume standards at a local intersection, if not mitigated. Due to the fact that the Navy is currently in the process of investigating contamination on the FISCO site, it is anticipated that more information will be available related to contaminated materials in the future.
