Clean Air Programs at the Port
The Port is actively managing several programs to improve air quality at and around our operations:
- Maritime Air Quality Improvement Plan (MAQIP)

- Port of Oakland Shore Power Program
Seaport Air Emissions Inventory
As part of its longstanding commitment to reduce air pollution from the operations of its seaport tenants, the Port of Oakland released its Seaport Air Emissions Inventory (Inventory) in August 2007.

Clean Water
Since 1992, the Port has worked in partnership with its tenant industrial facilities and with the general public to raise greater awareness about water pollution problems and to ensure that action is taken to prevent pollution in run-off. More Information
Emergency Response
As part of the Cal/OSHA requirement we are expected to provide employees with adequate life safety features such as clearly marked exits, fire extinguishers and fire extinguishing systems, and evacuation procedures. More Information
Materials Management Program
The Port of Oakland complies with all local, state, and federal laws which regulate materials and waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous. The Port of Oakland has developed protocols and documents to assist its partners in managing materials responsibly.
Sanitary Sewer Management Plan
The Port of Oakland has prepared the Sewer System Management Plan ("SSMP") in compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements ("WDR") for Sanitary Sewer Systems, WQO No. 2006-0003. The goal of the SSMP is to provide a plan to effectively manage, operate, and maintain the sanitary sewer infrastructure facilities owned by the Port of Oakland to prevent sanitary sewer overflows ("SSOs"). Under the terms of the WDR, the SSMP must be updated every five years following the original adoption date and re-certified by the governing board when significant updates to the SSMP are made. The first SSMP was adopted by the Board of Port Commissioners ("Board") on May 18, 2010 and updated on July 9, 2015 in compliance with the WDR requirements and the Revised Monitoring and Reporting Program, WQ 2013-0058-Exec. The 2020 SSMP, approved by the Board on January 28, 2021, reflects changes in the Port’s organizational structure over the last five years and, more importantly, provides a focus on the acceleration of the inspection, condition assessment, rehabilitation program to meet operational and regulatory requirements.
