1:45pm | The Los Angeles and Long Beach boards of Harbor Commissioners will meet on Nov. 22 to consider the 2010 San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan Update.
The original CAAP was adopted in 2006, which the ports designed as a “living document” to be periodically reviewed.
The updated CAAP “sets even more aggressive goals and strategies for reducing air pollution and health risks from the goods transportation industry,” according to a statement issued by the port.
The two harbor commissions last met jointly on Oct. 6 to consider the CAAP Update. At that meeting the boards voted to allow for additional public review.
The meeting is scheduled for 2:00pm at Banning’s Landing Community Center, 100 E. Water St., in Wilmington 90744. It will be webcast live at polb.com/webcast. The update, a fact sheet and “Response to Comments” documents can be obtained at cleanairactionplan.org.
The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach are the two busiest U.S. seaports, moving $300 billion in trade each year and supporting more than 500,000 jobs in Southern California.
