Nominations are now open for the sixth annual San Pedro Bay
Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) Air Quality Awards, where the ports of Los
Angeles and Long Beach recognize the air pollution-fighting efforts of
port-related businesses in the area.
Nominations will be accepted for port tenants operating at
either port as well as other operators serving the ports – such as shipping
lines, trucking companies and rail operators – who demonstrated a strong
commitment to reducing air pollution in 2012.
Only port tenants and other operators that serve one or both
of the local ports are eligible for the program; technology vendors are not
eligible. Self-nominations, however, are accepted.
The deadline for CAAP Award nominations is 4 pm Fri., April
26, 2013. Nominations can be completed and submitted online at
www.cleanairactionplan.org/about/caapnomination.asp.
Awards are scheduled to be offered in four categories: Air
Quality Improvement Leadership at the Corporate Level; Innovative Air Quality
Improvement Technologies; Innovative Operations that Improve Air Quality; and Significant
Early Action to Reduce Air Pollutant Emissions.
Award recipients are to be honored at a July 18 award
ceremony.
More information on the awards program and the categories
can be found at cleanairactionplan.org/about/awards.asp.
