Ports facilitate energy Each port completes 3 studies & conservation Each port conducts 3 energy conservation projects at port-owned energy studies projects and/or tenant facilities Pilot Projects each port will evaluate or engage in at least 1 pilot study or demonstration project per year Port currently partnering with Puget Sound Clean Air Agency on CNG-conversion pilot for dray trucks Performance Measurement Annually progress report on status of meeting actions & targets Every 5 years emissions inventory to track status of meeting emission reduction goals Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy 2013 Update December 10, 2013: Request Port of Seattle Commission adoption of the Strategy Update
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.
