Source: https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/ ; The State of California Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal Act of 1977 granted to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) the exclusive power to issue a permit concerning the construction and operation of an LNG terminal pursuant to a prescribed permit procedure. The Act also required the California Coastal Commission (CCC) to study potential sites for the terminal and to make recommendations thereon to PUC. The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was requested to assist in the preliminary evaluation of the wave climate at alternate potential LNG terminal sites by applying existing hindcast wave data of a general nature to obtain estimates of the times of excessive wave conditions at the various sites. After the preliminary evaluation was completed, WES was again requested to assist by analyzing the effects of island sheltering and topographic influences on the wave climates of five onshore sites (Appendix A of H-78-2) and six offshore sites in order to provide a more refined estimate of the wave conditions existing at the potential sites. The deepwater hindcast wave data used in the evaluations were the State of California Department of Navigation and Ocean Development (DNOD) singular wave statistics, National Marine Consultants (NMC) and Marine Advisers (MA) deepwater hindcast data, and the Synoptic Shipboard Meteorological Observation (SSMO) data tapes. CCC completed and transmitted to PUC its final report evaluating and ranking the five onshore sites 31 May 1978. Because of the absence of a comprehensive deepwater wave hindcast data base of sufficient degree of confidence to permit estimates of the absolute magnitude of occurrences of waves of different periods and heights, the analysis conducted is a relative evaluation only and should not be interpreted as projections of actual downtime, but rather as a consistently uniform basis for comparison. WES and others are at the present time engaged in a comprehensive program to provide a ...
