Permitting Process

OceanWay is currently being reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The City of Los Angeles is the lead agency under CEQA and the U.S. Coast Guard is the lead agency under NEPA. The project is also subject to review by numerous city, state and federal agencies, including thee Governor of California, California Coastal Commission, Environmental Protection Agency and many more.

In September 2007, the first of many public hearings took place. The hearing, called a scoping hearing, gave the public a chance to comment on OceanWay and submit comments to the lead agencies for consideration. To read more about the scoping hearing, please click HERE.

Currently, OceanWay is undergoing the first-ever life-cycle greenhouse gas analysis for an energy project in California. This information will be compiled and then reviewed by an independent expert panel. Once completed, the information will be made available to the public and incorporated into the Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement.
