Environment Long Range Plan
"Be the greenest and most energy efficient port in
North America" 
Meet all increased energy needs through
conservation and renewable sources
Reduce air pollutant
Meet or exceed agency requirements for storm      emissions by 50% from
water leaving Port owned or operated facilities
2005 levels
Reduce carbon emissions
Reduce air pollutants and carbon emissions 
from all Port operations by
50% from 2005 levels
Anchor the Puget Sound urban-industrial land
Reduce aircraft-related carbon
use to prevent sprawl in less developed areas
emissions at Sea-Tac by 25%
Restore, create, and enhance 40 additional acres
of habitat in the Green/Duwamish watershed and
Elliott Bay
2

Situational Analysis
Aviation and maritime industries very carbon intensive
Price of energy currently low but likely to increase over time
Port situated to lead industry change to low carbon
Port offers long-term stability in energy demand for potential developers
State and region have among the most stringent environmental regulations in
the nation
Environmental stewardship defines the Puget Sound region

Port is well positioned to lead in environmental innovation

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
