0 Inlet Treatment Units and High Area Impact Treatment - The areas with the highest likelihood of contributing contaminants to stormwater are the Maintenance Facility, RTG Maintenance Areas, and the Equipment Parking Areas. These areas would have isolated drainage basins, which have inlet treatment units that remove TSS and oil and grease, with the discharged water then proceeding to the first flush basin. Alternate Fuel for Vehicles and Equipment The applicant has been extensively involved in the development and application of alternative fuels at its existing facilities and would continue this commitment. This would include propane powered POHA-owned on -road vehicles and small forklifts, when commercially available. It may also include diesel -emulsion fuel for RTG's and yard tractors owned by the applicant. Diesel -emulsion fuel is expected to reduce NO, emissions by 25% and particulate emissions by 30%. On -site Fire/Hazmat and Police The applicant would have an on -site Fire Department, with a Hazmat team, and an on -site Police Department. Lighting The Design elements have been developed to minimize glare, light spill, light trespass, and light pollution to surrounding areas. These elements are: • All lighting fixtures would be of the "dark sky" type developed by major manufacturers. • All highmast lighting would incorporate the use of either light shields or compact bulbs solutions to avoid changes to lighting conditions to LaPorte and Shoreacres on the northern and opposite side of the Bayport channel. • During the lighting design, an effort would be made to control light rays to avoid unacceptable light trespass or pollution while adhering to these general lighting criteria. Cruise Road The original Master Plan routed cruise terminal traffic along an improved Todville Road. To address the concerns about increased traffic on Todville Road, the plan has been modified to include a new road —Cruise Road —which is a new public roadway located interior to the berm within the terminal boundaries (Sheet 2). Todville/Port Road Intersection To address neighborhood concerns about container truck traffic on Todville Road, the applicant has redesigned the intersection. This plan would eliminate the existing intersection and replace it with new intersections between (1) Port Road and Cruise Road, and (2) Cruise Road and Todville Road.
