L.A.-Long Beach delay updated air plan vote

L.A.-Long Beach delay updated air plan vote    Harbor commissioners from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on Wednesday postponed a vote on an update to their joint Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) to allow more time for the public to review the proposal.
   'The ports will use the extra time to clarify the document for industry and other stakeholders,' the ports said in a statement. 'In particular, staff and rail industry representatives will discuss the CAAP's proposed measures on long haul locomotives, possibly to seek an equivalent alternative.
   'The 2010 CAAP Update is part of the original pledge to ensure that the CAAP is a 'living document' that will be adapted as needed to add new pollution-control measures. The update sets even more aggressive goals for reducing air pollution and health risks from port operations.'
   The proposed 2010 CAAP Update, fact sheet, synopsis of significant changes and 'Response to Comments' document are available at www.cleanairactionplan.org, www.polb.com/caap or www.portoflosangeles.org.
