The Oxnard Harbor District (Port of Hueneme) was awarded a $1,211,600 project grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Ports Program, established through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (CFDA #66.051). The grant will fund the port's efforts to conduct emissions accounting, stakeholder engagement, workforce development, and emissions-reduction and resilience planning. Key activities include developing a new source emissions inventory, analyzing the feasibility of emissions reduction strategies, hosting trainings with stakeholders, developing workforce skills, and assessing climate vulnerabilities and resiliency measures. The port will also provide a subaward to the Ventura County Community College District to perform a workforce impact analysis. The anticipated outcomes include increased understanding of current port emissions, transparency in port planning, enhanced capacity to reduce emissions and improve climate resilience, and increased stakeholder participation in port planning. This grant award is intended to advance environmental justice and support the port's transition to zero-emission operations.
