Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles extend deadline for CAAP Award nominations

There is still time to submit nominations for the sixth annual San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan Air Quality Awards, in which the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles will recognize the air pollution-fighting efforts of port-related businesses in the area, said in the press release.
 
The deadline for CAAP Award nominations has been extended to 4 p.m. Friday, May 3. Nominations can be completed and submitted online, at www.cleanairactionplan.org/about/caapnomination.asp.
 
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 this program; technology vendors are not eligible. Self-nominations also will be accepted.
 
Awards will be offered in four categories:
 
    Air Quality Improvement Leadership at the Corporate Level

    Significant Early Action to Reduce Air Pollutant Emissions

 Award recipients will be honored at a ceremony July 18.
