Project Grant 02J91401

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) provides $10,508,178 to the Port of Port Angeles to improve air quality and reduce pollution through the deployment of zero-emission equipment and infrastructure. Key activities include purchasing and deploying one battery electric reachstacker, two battery electric forklifts, one electric telestacker, three modern service cabinets, eight vessel shore power pedestals, and two mobile vessel shore power cable units, as well as scrapping two diesel forklifts and two diesel logstackers. The project also involves developing a community engagement plan and conducting workforce training for port staff. The anticipated outcomes include reduced emissions, diesel consumption, truck hours, and vehicle miles, along with increased availability of vessel shore power, staff training on zero-emission equipment, and expanded ability to handle diverse cargoes. The primary beneficiaries are the Port of Port Angeles and nearby communities in Clallam County, Washington.
