Abstract:

This paper describes the implementation program and status of the Pacific Texas Pipeline Company project in the Port of Los Angeles. A brief description of this important 1. 6 billion, 1,034 mile (1,664 km) long pipeline project is presented, with emphasis on the major features in the immediate vicinity of the Port. The paper then focuses on the port related engineering and environmental issues associated with developing a project of this magnitude. The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the catalytic effect the Pacific Texas project has on the Port's further implementation of its master plan of channel dredging and land reclamation.
