DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE FOR A NON-PROJECT ACTION

WAC 197-11-970

Project Name: Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy 2020 Update

Project Proponent: Port of Tacoma

Description of proposal: The 2020 Strategy Update is a collaborative effort between the Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma, the Northwest Seaport Alliance, and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in British Columbia (the Ports). The 2020 Strategy Update is the second update and builds upon past successes and strong partnerships forged over the last decade and moves forward the commitment of the Ports to reduce contributions to local air pollution and global climate change, while sustaining and improving their economic vitality and competitiveness. Recognizing the urgency of climate change and the need to reduce local air pollution, the 2020 Strategy Update sets a new vision for the Ports to phase out seaport-related air and greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
