NEWS ARTICLES: (6/23) Port to get environmental affairs chief
The Port of Charleston is bringing a new green deckhand on board to keep
watch over its growing raft of environmental initiatives.
The State Ports Authority, in approving a $160.4 million budget last week
for its upcoming fiscal year, carved out some funds to fill its first-ever
environmental affairs slot.
Bernie Groseclose, the SPA's chief executive, said the full-time hire —
one of just a few new positions budgeted for the next 12 months — will be
in charge of monitoring and coordinating the various environmental
programs the maritime agency has waded into. He said the decision to
create a green czar position in Charleston is "timely with our mitigation
plan under way."
Indeed, the SPA has been pushing to draw more attention to its $12 million
environmental mitigation plan, which the authority agreed to fund to help
offset some of the negative effects of the $600 million shipping terminal
it is building in North Charleston. The various concessions include a $1
million contribution toward the recent Morris Island purchase, $2.5
million for restoring oyster reefs and tidal marsh in Charleston Harbor
and $4 million for community improvements such as job training and
affordable housing.
In March, the SPA said it had entered into a partnership with the state
Department of Health and Environmental Control to reduce emissions at
existing and future terminals. And just two weeks ago, the authority
unveiled a public awareness campaign called "Pledge for Growth,"
challenging area employers to commit to one or more eco-friendly changes.
It all goes to show how times have changed for the shipping industry,
which is coming under intense worldwide pressure to reduce emissions from
vessels, trucks and equipment.
