INTERMODAL FACILITY
1. Description
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad operates an
Intermodal facility within Vernon. The function of this facility
is to transfer f:reight from trucks to trains for transport out of
the region. 'This facility plays a major role in reducing truck
traffic in the region. I~ return it places a burden on the Cities
of Vernon and Commerce since a massive amount of trucks converge
into one small area. The intermodal form of transportation of
freight has experienced a massive growth in recent years. With
this growth the trucks that once hauled the freight on City roads
and freeways from the ports and manufacturers to destinations
throughout the country are now placed on railcars. This new mode
of transportation results in a major benefit to the region by
greatly reducing the truck traffic on our highways. The City has
constructed an infrastructure to maintain these facilities. The
high traffic volume requires the City to constantly maintain and
resurface the roadways serving the intermodal yard. In 1989 Santa
Fe Railroad handled 463,528 intermodal units. In 1994 they handled
660,205 intermodal units at the Vernon facility. These numbers
were produced from the attached Santa Fe Railroad letter. Bob
Brendza of Santa Fe Railroad has verbally quoted that the Vernon
Intermodal facility handled 677,440 units in 1995. However we feel
that these numbers are low. Historic traffic counts showed that in
1990 there was an average of 1,939 trucks exiting the site daily
and in 1995 trucks had increased to 5,060 trucks per day. The City
of Vernon seeks credit for allowing these facilities to grow and be
maintained within our jurisdiction and for providing the
infrastructure to support their existence.
2. Proiect Implementation
This is an ongoing project.

vehicles more per day. The City seeks 2.88 per truck VMT removed.

Re: Conditional Use Permits for the ANR, Ferro and Laidlaw Parcels
Adjacent to Santa Fe's Hobart Yard in the City of Vernon
Dear Kevin:
During our meeting in December, I committed to share information with you concerning
Santa Fe's activities at Hobart Yard since 1989. Although Santa Fe's activities are continually
evolving as technology and market demands change (makiltg it difficult to pinpoint specific
changes at any particular time), I have tried to gather statistics which will help you better
understand Santa Fe's recent history at Hobart Yard.
As you know, a substantial part of Hobart Yard is located in the City of Commerce.
Since Santa Fe considers Hobart Yard an operational unit, many of its activities are occurring
in the City of Commerce and not in the City of Vernon. Although it is not possible to precisely
delineate Santa Fe's activities by city, as you consider the information in this letter, please hear
in mind that many of the activities mentioned in this letter are occurring in the City of
Commerce and not in the City of Vernon,
As I mentioned above, the evolution of Santa Fe's activities at Hobart Yard has been
driven by technology and market demands. In 1989, Santa Fe handled 463,528 intermodal units
(trailer or container or flat car) at Hobart Yard and in 1994. it handled 660.205 units. Because
of the nature of an intermodal operation, volume can dramatically increase (through operational
efficiency) without proportionately increasing external impacts. The increase in volume
experienced by Santa Fe since 1989, has largely been due to more efficient track configuration
and other efficiencies in hand] ing cargo, without the construction of significant new
improvements Dr a prop0l1ionate increase in truck traffic,
As an example, in December, 1989, there were 131,7381inea] feet of track at Hobart
Yard, At the present time, there are only 96,051 lineal feet of track at Hobart Yard,
representing a decrease of approximately 27 %. This phe.nomenon is caused by the evolution of
Hobart Yard from the status of a box car classification yard to an intermodal yard. The
efficiency of an intermodal yard is increased by longer tracks whereas the efficiency of a box
car classification yard is increased by a larger number of short tracks, In the case of Hobart
Yard, an increase in inlermodal volllll1chas actually been promoted by a decrease in overall
track footage
. 1 i

Mr. Kevin Wilson, P.E.

Page 2
In addition, since 1989, truck trips have increased prapartianately less (by a wide margin)
than the propartianate increase in intermadal units handled at Habart Yard. Because .of the
amaunt .of business Santa Fe daes with independent shippers, there is na way ta knaw which
route each truck trip fallows .or what part .of each trip .occurred an City .of Vernan streets (as
opposed to Ci ty of Commerce streets and state highways). Hawever, as yau knaw, the majar ,
freeway access to Habart Yard takes traffic through the City .of Cammerce.
In additian, in 1989, Santa Fe emplayed approximately 1,200 warkers at Habart Yard,
At the present time, Santa Fe emp]ays appraximately 1,000 warkers, representing a decrease
of approximately 18%. OveraiI, the present Habart Yard aperatian is less intense than it has
been in the past.
Because Santa Fe is under the jurisdictian .of the federal Interstate Cammerce
Cammissian and the state Public Utilities Cammissian, its activities directly related to rail
transpart (i .e., track recanfiguratian and related activities) are regulated (and permitted) by thase
federal and state agencies. Other activities which are mare local in nature are under the
jurisdictian .of ]aca] agencies, including the City .of Vernan. Regarding local agency jurisdictian,
since 1989, Santa Fe has applied far and received a number .of ministerial permits fram the City
.of Vernan, including the fallawing:

Santa Fe's requests for the above-mentioned ministerial permits were accompanied by all
required plan~and specifications, fully explaining Santa Fe's intended construction, The absence
of significant improvements at Hobart Yard since 1989 is consistent with the small amount of
permit activity.
Finally, there is a 1989 aerial view of the City of Vernon in Mr.Malkenhorst's
conference room as well as a more recent aerial view. Had you agreed to meet with me, I could
have identified specific 1989 activities at Hobart Yard and commented on how they have evolved
into more recent activities. Although less demonstrative, I hope this written explanation and
accompanying statistics better your understanding of Santa Fe's activities at Hobart Yard since
1989.
Kevin, Santa Fe is a good corporate cItIZen and beneficially affects most of the
manufacturing and distribution business in the City of Vernon. As explained in Mark Ostoich's
December 29 letter to your City Attorney (copy enclosed), Santa Fe believes the City of
Vernon's position (that Santa Fe's proposed development of the ANR, Ferro and Laidlaw parcels
constitutes an illegal expansion of a nonconforming use), is contrary to applicable law.
However, rather than delaying mutually beneficial progress while arguing over legal principles,
we should be talking about ways to resolve this in a more constructive manner. I am therefore
renewing my request for a meeting to discuss a" resolution, at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
/2-[~

Dear Mr. Wilson:
SUBJECT: CONGEST!ON MANAGEMENT PROGRAd\1; (eMP)
CREDIT FOR GOODS MOVEMENT STRATEGY NO. 207
On July 3, 1996, a meeting was held at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(MTA) with CMP staff and the Cities of Long Beach, Vernon and Commerce.
The purpose of this meeting was to begin the process for establishing a consistent
methodology determining credit for the CMP Deficiency Plan Toolbox strategy for
Freight-to-Rail (#207). An agreement on the methodology was necessary before
the "amount of credit" requested from the above cities can be submitted for review
by the CMP Peer Review Panel.
At this meeting, CMP staff had compared the credit calculation for Strategy No.
207, as contained in the 1995 CMP, with the proposed quantitative credit
evaluation submitted by the City of Long Beach. It was determined the
independent variables for the Long Beach credit formula, and supporting
documentation as contained in their application, was in alignment with the CMP
intended value assignment methodology. Both the Cities Vernon and Commerce
also agreed with the methodology (Attachment A).
A fundam<:ntal element in determining the Credit Factor for this strategy requires
data based on vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) removed from general use traffic
lanes. VMT is derived by multiplying:
a) the number of truck trips, by
b) the length of the truck trip
While the City of Long Beach could provide VMT, this determination could not be
as readily defined for the 'Vernon and Commerce Freight-to-Rail operations. The
meeting ended with the understanding that CMP staff would investigate truck
mileage data for Vernon and Commerce. In turn, both Vernon and Commerce
would obtain reasonable estimations for truck counts at their respective facilities
City ofVemon
Strategy No. 207 Special Credit Request
Page 2
07/15/96
for the years 1990 and 1996. Final credit amount will reflect the amount of trucks
eliminated from the CMP highway network between the years 1996 and 1990.
CMP staff has since contacted David Stein, Principal Planner of SCAG, who is
actively involved with the Alameda Corridor studies and the Goods Movement
Advisory Committee. He stated that more than 80% of the goods movement flows
eastward through Los Angeles County via the 60 and 10 Corridors. Furthermore,
any goods heading northbound do so by traveling eastward through these corridors
into the San Bernardino County and then up over the Cajon Pass. Therefore, the
surface mileage for the Vernon facility operation has been averaged between both
the 60 and the 10 Corridors at 63 miles to the County line ( Attachment A).
It is the intent of CMP staff to schedule the first Peer Review Panel no l~ter than
the first part August 1996. Therefore, it is important that both the Cities of Vernon
and Commerce obtain the necessary truck counts at their respective Freight-to-Rai1
Facilities as soon as possible. This will allow time for CMP staff to work with
each City to derive a credit calculation which is mutually agreed upon before the
Peer Review meeting date.
Also, please be reminded that as part of the "Unique Credit Request" process,
CMP staff will require additional information in the form of an application. Such
requests must provide the quantification evaluation and documentation required by
section 10.6.3 of the 1995 CMP (Attachment B).
If you have any questions about this process or the contents of this letter, please
feel free to contact me at (213) 922-2821.
Sincerely,

a. One train car contains two (2) containers
b. 1 container equals I truck round-trip
c. Calculation for VMT is:
(Number of truck trips) * (Length of truck round-trip) = VMT
U U
(To be supplied by Vernon) * (Vernon = 64 miles)' = VMT
d. Therefore (VMT) * (2.88 Credit Factor) * % local = CMP points

I Calculated by MT A GIS Model:
Round-trip along 60 Corridor = 61 miles
Round-trip along 10 Corridor = 65 miles
Average = 63 miles round-trip
2 Amount of Credit Vernon may claim is based on the portion of the overall
project implemented (funded) by the City (see page 59 of 1995 CMP).

requirements :
1. A description of the project or program, not to exceed one page.
2. A schedule of project implementation, including project phases if applicable.
3. A description of the funding sources used to implementand maintain the project.
4. A quantitative analysis of the project's mobility benefit, the amount of CMP credit
requested, explanation of assumptions used, and identification of sources used.
5. Comparison of the credit requested to the standard credit for similar toolbox
strategies. If no toolbox strategies are similar, so state. If the project is the same
as an existing toolbox strategy but does not meet minimum toolbox criteria, the
~ request must include an explanation of why they could not be met and, if
applicable, commensurate project characteristics which justify credit.
6. Signature by the jurisdiction's applicable department director and representation
that the information provided in the request is accurate and complete.
7. Attachmem(s), including the following and any additional ipformation to support
the credit request:
,
a. Traffic, pedestrian or other count data, indicating the date, time and .location of the
count (if applicable).
b. Imerdeparrrnemal, city council or other reportS which substantiate the activity level
in the CvfP credit request (if applicable).
c. Supporting or.dinances, resolutions and conditions of approval (if applicable).
10.7 CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
Over the last two years MT A staff has worked closely with local jurisdictions in the
implementation of the CMP Countywide Deficiency Plan. As a result of this experience, cities
may find the following information helpful in identifying additional credit oppommities that are
~ailab~. '
.
CMP TDM Ordinance: All local jurisdictions within Los Angeles County adopted the
required TDM ordinance. As a r~sult, the CMP Deficiency Plan Toolbox of Mitigation
Strategies allows credit for ail new non-residential development under Strategy #306.
Local jurisdiction staff should be' sure to claim this credit when submitting their annual

ENGINEER'S REPORT
CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1996 CONFORMANCE REPORT
The City Council approved Ordinance No. 1015 adopting a trip
reduction and travel demand program in order to implement the
Congestion Management Program (CMP) of the County of Los Angeles.
The County Program was designed to alleviate traffic congestion
caused by potential increases in growth.
As required by the
program each City must self certify that it is in conformance with
all elements of the CMP. Failure to comply with the requirements
of the program could result in the loss of state, funding for
transportation projects.
The program establishes a point system.
In order to be in
compliance a municipality must maintain a positive number of
points.
The City can gain points by implementing congestion
relieving strategies. The three strategy categories are:
1. Land Use Strategies;
2. Capital Improvements and Transportation Systems Management
(TSM); and
3. Transportation Demand Management and Transit Services.
Attached is a list of the strategies and the programs included
within them.
The City also gains points for structures that are demolished.
Points from the so called Toolbox Strategies vary depending on the
amount of congestion that each project relieves. Points are lost
for each structure constructed.
The City of Vernon carried over 852 points from the previous
year.
During the CMP's recording year, June 1, 1995 to May 31, 1996
the City of Vernon experienced a growth in building square footage.
Approximately 431,000 square feet of building space was constructed
and only 262,000 square feet of building space was demolished. The
City gained 139 credits for its TDM Program and is seeking 424,705
credits for the expansion of the Santa Fe Railway Intermodal
Facility. Therefore Vernon's credit balance is proposed to be
424,401.

INTERMODAL FACILITY
1. Description
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RailroaQ operates an
Intermodal facility within Vernon. The function of this facility
is to transfer freight from trucks to trains for transport out of
the region. This facility plays a major role in reducing truck
traffic in the region. In return it places a burden on the Cities
of Vernon and Commerce since a massive amount of trucks converge
into one small area. The intermodal form of transportation of
freight has experienced a massive growth in recent years. With
this growth the trucks that once hauled the freight on City roads
and freeways from the ports and manufacturers to destinations
throughout the country are now placed on railcars. This new mode
of transportation results in, a major benefit to the region by
greatly reducing the truck traffic on our highways. The City has
constructed an infrastructure to ,maintain these facilities. The
high traffic volume requires the City to constantly maintain and
resurface the roadways serving the intermodal yard. In 1989 Santa
Fe Railroad handled 463,528 intermodal units. In 1994 they handled
660,205 intermodal units,at the Vernon facility. These numbers
were produced from the attached Santa Fe Railroad letter. Bob
Brendza of Santa Fe Railroad has verbally quoted that the Vernon
Intermodal facility handled 677,440 units in 1995. However we feel
that these numbers are low. Historic traffic counts showed that in
1990 there was an average of 1,939 trucks exiting the site daily
and in'1995 trucks had increased to 5,060 trucks per day. TheCity
of Vernon seeks credit for allowing these facilities to grow and be
maintained within our jurisdiction and for providing the
infrastructure to support their existence.
2. Proiect Implementation
This is an ongoing project.
3. Description of Fundinq
Private development onsite, Infrastructure maintained by City
General Fund.
4. CMP Credit Claim
The intermodal units at this facility have undergone
tremendous growth since' 1990, This facility now handles 3,000
vehicles more per day. The City seeks 2.88 per truck VMT removed
from general use traffic lanes. The City of Vernon therefore
requests:
VMT * 2.88 Credit Factor x % Local = CMP Points
Credit= 3121 x 63 x 2.88 X .75 = 424,705 credits

Re: Conditional Use ,Permits for the ANR, Ferro and Laidlaw Parcels
Adjacent to Santa Fe's Hobart Yard in the City of Vernon
Dear Kevin:
During our meeting in December, I committed to share information with you concerning
Santa Fe's activities at Hobart Yard since 1989. Although S,anta Fe's activities are continually
evolving as technology and market demands change (making it difficult to pinpoint specific
changes at any particular time), I have tried to gather statistics which will help you better
understand Santa Fe's recent history at Hobart Yard.
As you know, a substantial part of Hobart Yard is located in the City of Commerce.
Since Santa Fe considers Hobart Yard an operational unit, many of its activities are occurring
in the City of Commerce and not in the City of Vernon. Although it is not possible to precisely
delineate Santa Fe's activities by city, as you consider the information in this letter, please bear
in mind that many of the activities mentioned in this letter are occurring in the City of
Commerce and not in the City of Vernon.
As I mentioned above, the evolution of Santa Fe's activities at Hoban Yard has been
driven by technology and market demands. In 1989, Santa Fe handled 463,528 intermodal units
(trailer or container or flat car) at Hobart Yard and in 1994, it handled 660.205 units. Because
of the nature of an intermodal operation, volume can dramatically increase (through operational
efficiency) without proportionately increasing external impacts, The increase in volume
experienced by Santa: Fe since 1989, has largely been due to more efficient track configuration
and other efficiencies in handling cargo, without the construction of significant new
improvements or a proponionate increase in truck. traffic,
As an example, in December, 1989, there were 131,738 lineal feet of track at Hobart
Yard, At the present time, there are only 96,051 lineal feet of track at Hobart Yard,
representing a decrease of approximately 27 %, This phenomenon is caused by the evolution of
Hobart Yard from the status of a box car classification yard to an intennodal yard, The
efficiency of an intcnnodal yard IS increased by longer tracks whereas the etTicll:ncy of a box
car classification yard is increased by a larger number of short tracks, In the case of Hobart
Yard, an increase ill intermodal volume has actually been promoted by a decrease in overall
track footage

In addition, since 1989, truck trips have increased proportionately less (by a wide margin)
than the proportionate increase in intermodal units handled at Hobart Yard. Because of the
amount of business Santa Fe does with independent shippers, there is no way to know which
route each truck trip follows or what part of each trip occurred on City of Vernon streets (as
opposed to City of Commerce streets and state highways), HowevGr, as you know, the major
freeway access to Hobart Yard takes traffic through the City of Commerce.
In addition, in 1989, Santa Fe employed approximately 1,200 workers at Hobart Yard.
At the present time, Santa Fe employs approximately 1,000 workers, representing a decrease
of approximately 18%. Overail, the present Hobart Yard operation is less intense thanjt has
been in the past.
Because Santa Fe is under the jurisdiction of the federal Interstate Commerce
Commission and the state Public Utilities Commission, its activities directly related to rail
transport (i.e., track reconfiguration and related activities) are regulated (and permitted) by those
federal and state agencies. Other activities which are more local in nature are under the
jurisdiction of local agencies, including the City of Vernon. Regarding local agency jurisdiction,
since 1989, Santa Fe has applied for and received a number of ministerial permits from the City
of Vernon, including the following:

Santa Fe's requests for the above-mentioned ministerial permits were accompanied by all
required plans. and spe.cifications, fully explaining Santa Fe's intended construction. The absence
of significant improvements at Hobart Yard since 1989 is consistent with the small amount of
permit activity.
Finally, there is a 1989 aerial view of the City of Vernon in Mr. Malkenhorst's
conference room as well as a more recent aerial view. Had you agreed to meet with me, I could
have identified specific 1989 activities at Hobart Yard and commented on how they have evolved
into more recent activities. Although less demonstrative, I hope this written explanation and
accompanying statistics better your understanding of Santa Fe's activities at Hobart Yard since
1989.
Kevin, Santa Fe is a good corporate CitIZen and beneficially affects most of the
manufacturing and distribution business in the City of Vernon. As explained in Mark Ostoich's
December 29 letter to your City Attorney' (copy enclosed), Santa Fe believes the City of
Vernon's position (that Santa Fe's proposed development of the ANR, Ferro and Laidlaw parcels
constitutes an illegal expansion of a nonconforming use), is contrary to applicable law.
However, rather than delaying mutually beneficial progress while arguing over legal principles,
we should be talking about ways to resolve this in a more constructive manner. I am therefore
renewing my request for a meeting to discuss a resolution, at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
A-(~

Dear Mr. Wilson:
SUBJECT: CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRA.M; (CMP)
CREDIT FOR GOODS MOVEMENT STRATEGY NO. 207
On July 3, 1996, a meeting was held at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(MTA) with CMP staff and the Cities of Long Beach, Vernon and Commerce.
The purpose of this meeting was to begin the process for establishing a consistent
methodology determining credit for the CMP Deficiency Plan Toolbox strategy for
Freight-to-Rail (#207). An agreement on the methodology was necessary before
the "amount of credit" requested from the above cities can be submitted for review
by the CMP Peer Review Panel.
At this meeting, CMPstaff had compared the credit calculation for Strategy No.
207, as contained in the 1995 CMP, with the proposed quantitative credit
evaluation submitted by the City of Long Beach. It was determined the
independent variables for the Long Beach credit formula, and supporting
documentation as contained in their application, was in alignment with the CMP
intended value assignment methodology. Both the Cities Vernon and Commerce
also agreed with the methodology (Attachment A).
A fundamt:ntal element in determining the Credit Factor for this strategy requires
data based on vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) removed from general use traffic
lanes. VMT is derived by multiplying:
a) the number of truck trips, by
b) the length of the truck trip
While the City of Long Beach could provide VMT, this determination could not be
as readily defined for the 'Vernon and Commerce Freight-to-Rail operations. The
meeting ended with the understanding that CMP staff would investigate truck
mileage data for Vernon and Commerce. In turn, both Vernon and Commerce
would obtain reasonable estimations for truck counts at their respective facilities

for the years 1990 and 1996. Final credit amount will reflect the amount of trucks
eliminated from the CMP highway network between the years 1996 and 1990.
CMP staff has since contacted David Stein, Principal Planner of SCAG, who is
actively involved with the Alameda Corridor studies and the Goods Movement
Advisory Committee. He stated that more than 80% of the goods movement flows
eastward through Los Angeles County via the 60 and 10 Corridors. Furthermore,
any goods heading northbound do so by traveling eastward through these corridors
into the San Bernardino County and then up over the Cajon Pass, Therefore, the
surface mileage for the Vernon facility operation has been averaged between both
the 60 and the 10 Corridors at 63 miles to the County line ( Attachment A).
It is the intent of CM~ staff to schedule the. first Peer Review Panel no l~ter than
the first part August 1996. Therefore, it is important that both the Cities of Vernon
and Commerce obtain the necessary truck counts at their respective Freight-to-Rail
Facilities as soon as possible. This will allow time for CMP staff to work with
each City to derive a credit calculation which is mutually agreed upon before the
Peer Review meeting date.
Also, please be reminded that as part of the "Unique Credit Request" process,
CMP staff will require additional information in the form of an application. Such
requests must provide the quantification evaluation and documentation required by
section 10.6.3 of the 1995 CMP (Attachment B).
If you have any questions about this process or the contents of this letter, please
feel free to contact me at (213) 922-2821.

a. One train car contains two (2) containers
b. 1 container equals 1 truck round-trip
c. Calculation for VMT is:
(Number of truck trips) * (Length of truck round-trip) = VMT
U U
(To be supplied by Vernon) * (Vernon = 64 miles)' = VMT
d. Therefore (VMT) * (2.88 Credit Factor) * % local = CMP points

I Calculated by MT A GIS Model:
Round-trip along 60 Corridor = 61 miles
Round-trip along 10 Corridor = 65 miles
Average = 63 miles round-trip
2 Amount of Credit Vernon may claim is based on the portion of the overall
project implemented (funded) by the City (see page 59 of 1995 CMP).
