Harbor board eying drill at Terminal Island survey
The Los Angeles Harbor Commission favors late 1960s seismic tests and a potential 400 acre field seaward of Terminal Island. A final decision next month could authorize a test well costing around 50,000 dollars, with bids possibly delivering royalties up to 25 percent. The project would use material dredged from the west basin and involve a leased site for a proposed 2 million dollar power boat marina on 17 acres, amid several other proposals under study.
