Clean Air Updates from Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach

[ October 31, 2017   //   Gary G Burrows ]

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach released the final 2017 San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) Update, which sets America’s largest seaports on a path toward zero emissions operations.

The 2017 CAAP Update document, fact sheet and responses to comments are available on both port websites and cleanairactionplan.org.

The original CAAP and the 2010 update have proven highly effective. Staff from both ports developed the 2017 CAAP Update over the last two years to craft strategies to further reduce air pollution and associated health risks from port-related sources. The ports held more than 70 meetings with industry, regulatory agency, and community stakeholders, hosted three public workshops, and allotted 150 days of formal public comment periods.
