Thanks to public education and
outreach efforts over the past year,
the MPA has been able to establish an
environmental workgroup and develop a
community contact list. In addition, the
MPA has involved the Port community
and is well on its way to developing
storm drain drainage signs. Storm drain
maps assist in the detection of illicit
discharge. Pollution prevention and good
housekeeping measures have aided in the
acquisition of National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) coverage and
the development of facility usage maps,
as well as tenant advisory programs.
Solomon Egbe, Director of Safety
and Environment for Ports America
Chesapeake, finds the Port P2 Committee’s
exchange of ideas very useful. “The
committee’s goal is to improve the
environment by reducing or eliminating
adverse environmental impacts,” Egbe
said. “I find that the collective effort of the
committee members is very effective in
meeting this goal.”
The next meeting of the Port P2
Committee is planned for early spring.
