Subject:2010 Infrastructure Protection Program - Port Security Grant Application
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
established with the 2006 and 2007 Port Security Grants. The Sheriff's Office will apply for
up to $7.3 million. The actual award amount may be less, as this is a competitive grant
application. 2010 Port Security Grant funding will provide the Sheriff's Office and critical
facilities with increased reconnaissance, surveillance, and detection capabilities to better
respond to potential threats and incidents; fill capability shortfalls and further integrate our
capabilities with the U.S. Coast Guard and allied jurisdictions; and provide for the
maintenance of essential equipment.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recognizes the critical importance of the
Port of Richmond, the petroleum and chemical production and distribution facilities,
bridges, and other infrastructure in Contra Costa County. The ports, rails, pipelines, and
other critical infrastructure in the vicinity of the littoral plain will benefit from additional
security efforts afforded through the 2010 Port Security Grant. The Port of Richmond is
ranked number three in the State of California for total trade behind Los Angeles and Long
Beach with 24,743,520 tons of cargo each year. The Port ranks number one in liquid bulk
and automobile tonnage among Bay Area ports. The County has more than 200 miles of
linear coastline that includes waterways that provide access to the Ports of Richmond and
Stockton. The commuter bridges of the County carry more than 305,000 automobiles per
day. The rail bridge connecting Contra Costa and Solano Counties carry passenger, military
cargo, automobiles, and a wide variety of other cargo. The increased capabilities made
available through the 2010 Port Security Grant will enable the Sheriff's Office to provide
enhanced security deterrence, patrol and response, and multi-agency coordination necessary
to secure critical sites and infrastructure and thus deter attack and protect life, property and
prosperity.
