Hanjin Terminal is a harbour facility located at 1521 Pier C Street in Long Beach, California, within the Port of Long Beach complex. As a container terminal, it is part of one of the busiest seaport complexes in the United States, serving global trade routes. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including the Vessel General Permit (VGP) for vessel discharges and NPDES permits for shoreside stormwater management. The terminal handles containerized cargo, which involves specific operational practices for cargo handling, ballast water management, and oil-water separation to comply with environmental standards. As a major container terminal in the Port of Long Beach, Hanjin Terminal contributes significantly to regional trade and economic activity. Its operations are subject to strict environmental oversight due to proximity to sensitive coastal habitats in Southern California, requiring robust stormwater management and spill prevention measures.

Located in the Port of Long Beach, the terminal operates in a coastal environment with sensitive marine habitats. Container handling activities generate stormwater runoff that must be managed under NPDES permits to prevent pollution. The facility's proximity to the Pacific Ocean necessitates careful oil-water separation and spill response protocols to protect local ecosystems.
