Dear/Mpmerritt:   h"m
Thank you very much for meeting with us yesterday. It was a helpful discussion for moving forward. Per
our conversation, we would like to clarify the interpretation.

Based on the code provisions governing Land Use Code interpretations (SMC 23.88.020), interpretations
are site specific. DPD's interpretation is based on the specific facts relating to the permit history for
Terminal 5, and facts relating to the presence of a drilling rig and related vessels proposed at that site.
The conclusions in the interpretation cannot be directly applied to activities that may be occurring at
other Port facilities.

Thank you very much. I hope this is helpful.

Sinc ely,


Diane M. Sugimura
Director

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
