California Coastal Commission to be reformed under new act
California voters in 1972 authorized commissions to draw a coastal plan and regulate development. The South Coast region including Los Angeles and Orange counties accounted for about 40 percent of coastal permits. Under Prop 20 the commissions will be dissolved this year but reestablished early next year with new guidelines. The executive director expects action in February as cities must prepare master plans to gain certification, and uncertified coastal development will need a permit. The 12 member panel will include public representatives appointed by the governor, Senate, and Assembly, plus locally elected officials. In L A and Orange counties the elected seats include a Los Angeles city council member, another LA city council member from a different city, an Orange County council member, two county supervisors, and two from the Southern California Association of Governments.

Permit OKd for dual use of pipeline
A permit allowing Shell and ARCO to install 5.3 miles of 42-inch pipeline to move liquid hydrocarbons from the Port of Long Beach to Carson refineries was approved by the South Coast Regional Commission. The $7.1 million project aims to share Berth and pipeline use, boosting off loading capacity for 130,000 to 160,000 dwt tankers and reducing port traffic. Related Gulf Oil bunker fuel lines, 7,300 feet of 10-inch pipe from Santa Fe Springs to the port, were also approved.
