Environmentalists are claiming in court that a massive railyard expansion at the port of Los Angeles represents “environmental racism,” arguing that the project is in violation California air quality rules as well as state and federal civil rights laws.
The Los Angeles City Council approved the rail company BNSF’s $500 million project, the Southern California International Gateway (SCIG), which is located four miles from the ports in San Pedro, Calif. […]
“The SCIG project typifies environmental racism,” David Pettit, director of the NRDC’s Southern California air program and urban program, said in a statement. “This project can be built away from where people live and children go to school, but the city of Los Angeles wants to put it in a low-income minority neighborhood because they think they can get away with it.”
