Date Sent: Monday, December 5, 2022 5:14:58 PM GMT-08:00 Date Received: Monday, December 5, 2022 5:15:12 PM GMT-08:00 Dear Oxnard City Council Members,
I am writing to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion.

The FEIR fails to include an accurate project description including long-term plans after the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and pollution from diesel trucks, and avoids consideration of alternatives to alleviate the pollution burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with the communities vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit expires. It has been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants to expand to a much bigger 250- acre expansion project, over seven times as big as th3 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

This project will only bring 14 jobs, all of which are contracted by GLOVIS that pay around minimum wage and are non-union. The temporary construction jobs will end very quickly once the fence and gravel are laid out. We want long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

Additionally, the 34-acre expansion project will be located on the last piece of undeveloped land between South Oxnard neighborhoods and the coast. South Oxnard- like many other communities of color- has minimal access to green space and the coast is lined by a wall of polluting industry making Ormond Beach inaccessible. The city has been working with The Nature Conservancy and State Coastal Conservancy to restore this beach to increase green space for the community to enjoy and bring their families. This proposed 34-acre project will bring even more polluting, loud, and dangerous port traffic along Hueneme Road making it even harder for families to safely access this beach. We need to protect our community’s vision to make the beach more accessible to families and deindustrialize the coast. Placing a parking lot that will store 5,000 additional cars directly in front the Ormond Beach Wetlands restoration area goes against this community vision. 1 / 81

Right now, the port is using 31 acres of extra storage at the naval base to help the Port of LA during the pandemic. Instead of turning more and more land in South Oxnard into port storage which brings more and more polluting trucks to our neighborhoods, the FEIR should consider other options like using space in the navy base and the use of zero-emission trucks.

Dear Oxnard City Council Members,
I am writing to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion. The FEIR fails to include an accurate project description including long-term plans after the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and pollution from diesel trucks, and avoids consideration of alternatives to alleviate the pollution burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with the communities vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit expires. It has been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants to expand to a much bigger 250-acre expansion project, over seven times as big as th3 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

The FEIR states the project will not be expanding shipments into the port, but it also states the project will allow more shipments from GLOVIS to create more jobs at the port. While the Port has been telling the community the project will not be expanding shipments into the Port or increasing pollution from shipments, at the same time, the Port has been telling workers there will be more jobs available for longshoremen and truckers due to increased shipments from this project. Both the FEIR and the applicant are presenting contradicting outcomes. This project will only bring 14 jobs, all of which are contracted by GLOVIS that pay around minimum wage and are non-union. The temporary construction jobs will end very quickly once the fence and gravel are laid out. We want long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The 34-acre GLOVIS Port expansion project is estimated to bring 60,000 more trucks and cars through our neighborhood streets annually. Diesel exhaust is the #1 cancer-causing air pollutant and long term exposure can result in lung damage in children that will last a lifetime.

Oxnard experiences some of the highest levels of diesel pollution in the state. Residents living near ports, warehouses, and busy roads, typically located in communities of color, are exposed to such high rates of heavy-duty vehicle pollution that these areas have been labeled “diesel death zones” - because asthma rates and cancer risks are greatly higher.

This project will bring more diesel trucks onto Hueneme Road, polluting our air with more cancer-causing diesel exhaust.

Re: Agenda Item G.1 - Port of Hueneme, Temporary Vehicle Storage Facility Project

Dear Mayor Zaragoza and Honorable Members of the Council:

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments supporting the approval of the Port of Hueneme (Port) temporary vehicle storage facility project. As outlined in the project description, the Port proposes constructing and operating a temporary outdoor vehicle storage facility at the southwest corner of Hueneme Road and Perkins Road in Oxnard.

The Ventura County Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business is a non-profit advocacy organization representing over 550 individuals, businesses, and industries throughout Ventura County and Southern California. Our diverse membership includes business owners, farmers, ranchers, agricultural support services, and property owners who support efforts to improve Ventura County’s economy and local quality of life.

VC CoLAB strongly supports the Port’s proposed project. This project will both create much-needed, high-wage local jobs and assist the City of Oxnard (city) with achieving future greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals by reducing overall freight vehicle miles traveled. The Port has continuously demonstrated its commitment to the local community and environment throughout the permitting process by actively engaging in the public comment process and working proactively with the city to identify, reduce, and mitigate any potential impacts on environmental resources.

We urge the Council to deny the appeal and vote to uphold the Planning Commission’s decision to grant the Port’s application for a Special Use Permit for the temporary vehicle facility.

Sincerely,

Louise Lampara
Executive Director

To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>,Kenneth Rozell <[email protected]>,Joe Pearson II <[email protected]>,CITY Jay Dobrowalski <[email protected]>,John Zaragoza <[email protected]>,Bryan MacDonald <[email protected]>,"[email protected]" <[email protected]>,"[email protected]" <[email protected]>,Gabe Teran <[email protected]>,"[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date Sent: Monday, December 5, 2022 5:31:12 AM GMT-08:00 Date Received: Monday, December 5, 2022 5:31:18 AM GMT-08:00 Port of Hueneme Temporary Vehicle Storage Project
I would like to submit my comments about this project for your thoughtful consideration. City attorney Ken Rozell has given the planning commissioners his ok to provide our opinions as this project has already been decided by the planning commission and we are thus free to provide verbal and written testimony.

I was the lone “no” vote on the Planning Commission and here are the reasons for my denial of the special use permit No. 18-500-02.

Note: the references pertain to the Planning Commission agenda packet. The City Council packet may have slightly different numbering.

Attachment D - General Plan Consistency Page 1 of 7, Policy CD-1.2 “The proposed project is surrounded by urban development and therefore is infill development.” Comment: I feel this is an incorrect statement as the project is bounded on much of the south by an upper wetlands interface.

Attachment D - General Plan Consistency Page 3 of 7, Policy CD-5.4 “The proposed project would reduce pollution and noise from the current conditions of the operator which transports vehicles to and from the Port at a greater distance than the proposed project location.” Comment: It is my opinion that this is not an “Environmentally Friendly and “Green” Industry”. Saying so doesn’t make it so.

From pg. 4-1 of the FEIR, “As indicated above, a cumulative impact involves two or more individual effects. Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15130(b), the discussion of cumulative impacts shall be guided by the standards of practicality and reasonableness, and should include the following elements:

1. Either: A list of past, present and probable future projects producing related or cumulative impacts, including, if necessary, those projects outside the control of the Agency . . .” Comment: Why aren’t we looking at the cumulative project scenario?

2.3.7.1 TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH INADEQUATE EMERGENCY ACCESS, Pg. 14, MM PP-1
“Prior to construction, the Applicant shall prepare a Traffic Control Plan for implementation during the construction phase, as deemed necessary by the City Traffic Engineer. The Plan may include the following provisions, among others: At any time only a single lane is available, the Applicant shall provide a temporary traffic signal, signal carriers (i.e., flag persons), or other appropriate traffic controls to allow travel in both directions.”
Comment: It is my opinion that this is unacceptable as Perkins Road is the only roadway available to the industrial uses located there. Perkins Rd. must remain a 2-lane roadway at all times and emergency vehicles must not experience delays in responding to emergency calls. 27 / 81

Pg 6-3, 6.4.2 Electric Car Carrier Trucks Alternative
“Additionally, to the knowledge of the Port Customer, there are no commercially available electric car carrier trucks.”
~ Volvo, Hyundai and Daimler are developing hydrogen fuel cell trucks. ~ Nicola One is developing a hydrogen fuel cell battery truck.

Comment: What many groups and individuals are trying to tell you is that they are tired of South Oxnard being a sacrifice zone. The Harbor District has done much to reduce GHG and I really appreciate their efforts. But transitioning to this type of truck is important and should be done ASAP in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the residents of south Oxnard. I understand that there is a high cost for doing this. My feeling is that every west coast port is under similar pressure to be as near zero-emission as possible. So this is just another cost of doing business. This lack of consideration for a truly green alternative renders the EIR inadequate.

3.0 FINDINGS ON PROJECT ALTERNATIVES, ELECTRIC CAR CARRIER TRUCKS ALTERNATIVE, Pg. 18,

ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS,
“The City is mostly developed, with the exception of some undeveloped land to the south of the project site, where the Ormond Lagoon and various undeveloped parcels are located.” Comment: It is my opinion that this is a false statement and renders the EIR inadequate.

3.2.2 Alternative Two: Two Existing Off-Port Vehicle Storage Locations, Pg. 20, “Alternative Two would result in reduced impacts to aesthetics, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural resources, geology and soils, wildfire and fire protection, police protection, water, and solid waste, as Alternative Two would not result in development of an undeveloped site. Comment: Therefore, it is my opinion that Alternative Two would be environmentally superior to the proposed project in regard to these environmental issue areas.”
Resolution No. 2022-XX (PZ 18-500-02; Port Temporary Vehicle Storage), Attachment H - Resolution (Special Use Permit) Page 2 of 26 “WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds after due study and deliberation that the applicant agrees with the necessity of and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this Resolution as being a reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit or live in this development in particular.” Comment: I do not find this project “as being a reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit or live in this development in particular.”
Pg 5.15-2, Policy ICS-23.5, Resident Access to Scenic Areas and Ormond Beach. “Work with appropriate organizations and agencies to provide Oxnard residents with access and possibly interpretive and/or visitor centers to natural/scenic areas such as the Santa Clara River Greenbelt, Ormond Beach, and Oxnard Dunes consistent with resource protection objectives.” Comment: General Plan Policy needs no further explanation.

CD-22.2, Develop an Ormond Beach Visitor Access Develop and implement, as resources allow, an Ormond Beach visitor access plan that includes a gateway park and visitor center near the southern terminus of Saviers Road, several levels of visitor interaction that include interpretive information displays, observation walks and platforms, trails and walkways, and other appropriate facilities and programs.

Comment: General Plan Policy needs no further explanation. 28 / 81

There is no arguing that the Port is an extremely valuable partner to the entire County of Ventura, and to the residents of Oxnard and Port Hueneme. I fully support their continuing success. However, it is my opinion that the City of Oxnard and the Port of Hueneme have not agreed upon a plan for Port expansion that would not be exploitative of south Oxnard residents who have borne the brunt of industrialization and the negative environmental impacts associated with that sort of development for many decades, including burn dumps, the Halaco Superfund site, the wastewater treatment plant, the Ormond Beach Generating Station and, of course, the Port of Hueneme itself with diesel emissions, extra traffic and rail movement disruptions.

I believe the Port would make the entire length of Hueneme Road into Port-serving businesses if allowed. I believe there are alternatives and I strongly urge a true collaborative effort led by the council members representing this area to arrive at an agreement with the Port that doesn’t continue to make south Oxnard a sacrifice zone.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,
Steve Nash

It appears to be an Adversement from a company call PODenergy. (see boom of the page).

I don’t know weather Oxnard or the Coastal Conservancies are involved in this, but seems mely considering the Superfund Site at Ormond Beach that should be removed. … more reason to prohibit a car park! Irene Rauschenberger

I am writing to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion. The FEIR fails to include an accurate project description including long-term plans after the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and pollution from diesel trucks, and avoids consideration of alternatives to alleviate the pollution burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with the communities vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit expires. It has been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants to expand to a much bigger 250-acre expansion project, over seven times as big as th3 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

Additionally, the 34-acre expansion project will be located on the last piece of undeveloped land between South Oxnard neighborhoods and the coast. South Oxnard- like many other communities of color- has minimal access to green space and the coast is lined by a wall of polluting industry making Ormond Beach inaccessible.

This proposed 34-acre project will bring even more polluting, loud, and dangerous port traffic along Hueneme Road making it even harder for families to safely access this beach. We need to protect our community’s vision to make the beach more accessible to families and deindustrialize the coast. Placing a parking lot that will store 5,000 additional cars directly in front the Ormond Beach Wetlands restoration area goes against this community vision.

Dear Oxnard City Council Members,
I am writing to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion. The FEIR fails to include an accurate prdescription including long-term plans after the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and pollution from diesel trucksavoids consideration of alternatives to alleviate the pollution burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with thecommunities vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit exhas been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants toto a much bigger 250-acre expansion project, over seven times as big as the 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impactshave on South Oxnard.

The FEIR states the project will not be expanding shipments into the port, but it also states the project will allow more shipments from GLOVIS to more jobs at the port. While the Port has been telling the community the project will not be expanding shipments into the Port or increasing pollutshipments, at the same time, the Port has been telling workers there will be more jobs available for longshoremen and truckers due to increased sfrom this project. Both the FEIR and the applicant are presenting contradicting outcomes. This project will only bring 14 jobs, all of which are conGLOVIS that pay around minimum wage and are non-union. The temporary construction jobs will end very quickly once the fence and gravel are laWe want long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The Port has said cars stored at the 34-acre site will be picked up by diesel trucks to transport them to dealerships around the country but the FEInot consider impacts to air quality from diesel trucks. This project will bring more diesel trucks onto Hueneme Road, polluting our air with more ccausing diesel exhaust. Our community is fighting hard for clean air in Oxnard and working to minimize diesel pollution, which is putting our residhealth risk. The 34-acre Glovis Port expansion project is estimated to bring 60,000 more trucks and cars through our neighborhood streets annualexhaust is the #1 cancer-causing air pollutant and long term exposure can result in lung damage in children that will last a lifetime. Oxnard experisome of the highest levels of diesel pollution in the state. Residents living near ports, warehouses, and busy roads, typically located in communitcolor, are exposed to such high rates of heavy-duty vehicle pollution that these areas have been labeled “diesel death zones” - because asthma rcancer risks are greatly higher.

Additionally, the 34-acre expansion project will be located on the last piece of undeveloped land between South Oxnard neighborhoods and the coSouth Oxnard- like many other communities of color- has minimal access to green space and the coast is lined by a wall of polluting industry makOrmond Beach inaccessible.

Instead of turning more and moSouth Oxnard into port storage which brings more and more polluting trucks to our neighborhoods, the FEIR should consider other options like uspace in the navy base and the use of zero-emission trucks.

Additionally, the 34-acre expansion project will be located on the last piece of undeveloped land between South Oxnard neighborhoods and the coast. South Oxnard- like many other communities of color- has minimal access to green space and the coast is lined by a wall of polluting industry making Ormond Beach inaccessible.

more polluting, loud, and dangerous port traffic along Hueneme Road making it even harder for families to safely access this beach. We need to protect our community’s vision to make the beach more accessible to families and deindustrialize the coast. Placing a parking lot that will store 5,000 additional cars directly in front the Ormond Beach Wetlands restoration area goes against this community vision.

Date Sent: Saturday, December 3, 2022 5:38:03 PM GMT-08:00 Date Received: Saturday, December 3, 2022 5:25:42 PM GMT-08:00 I am against this "project" due to the following reasons: noise, bright, high lights at night and just the closeness to the proposed Wetlands development site and how it can adversely affect the birds, etc. Plus, it may end up being more than "temporary" so should be located in another area and I feel it will also cause the Wetlands' development as a world tourist attraction to be put on hold once again. So many have passed on already that wanted, and worked for, that site to be developed into a natural site that will attract all ages and be a wonderful asset for our area. Our City too often looks at what things will bring us immediately and does not look to the future to have something very unique that no other cities around us have nor many areas in our entire State. The Port and this company should be able to find another area not on top of this Wetlands site. Let us think out of the box for a change and not just look at $$ signs. Every time we do that, Oxnard loses its opportunity to be unique in a great way.

The land Hyundai Glovis seeks is not any parcel. It is the last piece of green space, what should be a Gateway Park offering Oxnard residents renewal and rejuvenation with access to a restored Pacific beach. South Oxnard residents have endured more than their share of deadly industrial pollution and deserve to experience the natural wonder of this corredor to the Pacific Ocean. Vote for restoration, renewal and recreation, not an ocean view for 4,000 cars.

Right now, the port is using 31 acres of extra storage at the naval base to help the Port of LA during the pandemic. Instead of turning more and more land in South Oxnard into port storage which brings more and more polluting trucks to our neighborhoods, the FEIR should consider other options like using space in the navy base and the use of zero-emission trucks.

This FEIR fails to accurately examine the negative impacts of this project. I’m asking that you do not certify the FEIR and deny the Special Use Permit. Oxnard deserves clean air and environmental justice! Sincerely, Margot Davis

I am writing to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion. The FEIR fails to include an accurate project description including long-term plans after the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and pollution from diesel trucks, and avoids consideration of alternatives to alleviate the pollution burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with the communities vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit expires. It has been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants to expand to a much bigger 250-acre expansion project, over seven times as big as th3 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

The Port has said cars stored at the 34-acre site will be picked up by diesel trucks to transport them to dealerships around the country but the FEIR does not consider impacts to air quality from diesel trucks. This project will bring more diesel trucks onto Hueneme Road, polluting our air with more cancer-causing diesel exhaust. Our community is fighting hard for clean air in Oxnard and working to minimize diesel pollution, which is putting our residents at health risk. The 34-acre Glovis Port expansion project is estimated to bring 60,000 more trucks and cars through our neighborhood streets annually. Diesel exhaust is the #1 cancer-causing air pollutant and long term exposure can result in lung damage in children that will last a lifetime. Oxnard experiences some of the highest levels of diesel pollution in the state. Residents living near ports, warehouses, and busy roads, typically located in communities of color, are exposed to such high rates of heavy-duty vehicle pollution that these areas have been labeled “diesel death zones” - because asthma rates and cancer risks are greatly higher.

You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

The FEIR states the project will not be expanding shipments into the port, but it also states the project will allow more shipments from GLOVIS to create more jobs at the port. While the Port has been telling the community the project will not be expanding shipments into the Port or increasing pollution from shipments, at the same time, the Port has been telling workers there will be more jobs available for longshoremen and truckers due to increased shipments from this project. Both the FEIR and the applicant are presenting contradicting outcomes. This project will only bring 14 jobs, all of which are contracted by GLOVIS that pay around minimum wage and are non- union. The temporary construction jobs will end very quickly once the fence and gravel are laid out. We want long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The Port has said cars stored at the 34-acre site will be picked up by diesel trucks to transport them to dealerships around the country but the FEIR does not consider impacts to air quality from diesel trucks. This project will bring more diesel trucks 70 / 81

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit expires. It has been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants to expand to a much bigger 250-acre expansion project, over seven times as big as th3 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

I am wring to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion. The FEIR fails to include an accurate project descripon including long-term plans aer the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and polluon from diesel trucks, and avoids consideraon of alternaves to alleviate the polluon burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with the communies vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage aer the 3-5 year permit expires.

You cannot cerfy the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

The FEIR states the project will not be expanding shipments into the port, but it also states the project will allow more shipments from GLOVIS to create more jobs at the port. While the Port has been telling the community the project will not be expanding shipments into the Port or increasing polluon from shipments, at the same me, the Port has been telling workers there will be more jobs available for longshoremen and truckers due to increased shipments from this project. Both the FEIR and the applicant are presenng contradicng outcomes. This project will only bring 14 jobs, all of which are contracted by GLOVIS that pay around minimum wage and are non-union. The temporary construcon jobs will end very quickly once the fence and gravel are laid out. We want long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The 34-acre Glovis Port expansion project is esmated to bring 60,000 more trucks and cars through our neighborhood streets annually. Diesel exhaust is the #1 cancer-causing air pollutant and long term exposure can result in lung damage in children that will last a lifeme. Oxnard experiences some of the highest levels of diesel polluon in the state. Residents living near ports, warehouses, and busy roads, typically located in communies of color, are exposed to such high rates of heavy-duty vehicle polluon that these areas have been labeled “diesel death zones” - because asthma rates and cancer risks are greatly higher.

Addionally, the 34-acre expansion project will be located on the last piece of undeveloped land between South Oxnard neighborhoods and the coast. South Oxnard- like many other communies of color- has minimal access to green space and the coast is lined by a wall of pollung industry making Ormond Beach inaccessible. The city has been working with The Nature Conservancy and State Coastal Conservancy to restore this beach to increase green space for the community to enjoy and bring their families.

Instead of turning more and more land in South Oxnard into port storage which brings more and more polluting trucks to our neighborhoods, the FEIR should consider other options like using space in the navy base and the use of zero-emission trucks.

I am writing to urge you to reject the Final EIR (FEIR) and vote NO on the 34-Acre GLOVIS Port Expansion. The FEIR fails to include an accurate project description including long-term plans after the temporary permit expires, does not consider impacts to air quality and pollution from diesel trucks, and avoids consideration of alternatives to alleviate the pollution burden on South Oxnard neighborhoods. This project also does not align with the communities vision for green space and coastal access and long-term high-paying union jobs in our community.

The project is inaccurately described as temporary because it fails to say what the long-term plans are for Port Storage after the 3-5 year permit expires. It has been submitted to the record that the Port of Hueneme and GLOVIS already have plans to expand, started contracts, and applied for grants to expand to a much bigger 250-acre expansion project, over seven times as big as th3 34-acre project, all which was left out of the FEIR. You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

You cannot certify the FEIR or grant special use permits for this project without a real study on the long-term plans for Port storage and the environmental and health impacts they will have on South Oxnard.

The Port has said cars stored at the 34-acre site will be picked up by diesel trucks to transport them to dealerships around the country but the FEIR does not consider impacts to air quality from diesel trucks. This project will bring more diesel trucks onto Hueneme Road, polluting our air with more cancer-causing diesel exhaust. Our community is fighting hard for clean air in Oxnard and working to minimize diesel pollution, which is putting our residents at health risk. The 34-acre Glovis Port expansion project is estimated to bring 60,000 more trucks and cars through our neighborhood streets annually. Diesel exhaust is the #1 cancer-causing air pollutant and long term exposure can result in lung damage in children that will last a lifetime. Oxnard experiences some of the highest levels of diesel pollution in the state. Residents living near ports, warehouses, and busy roads, typically located in communities of color, are exposed to such high rates of heavy-duty vehicle pollution that these areas have been labeled “diesel death zones” - because asthma rates and cancer risks are greatly higher.
