As has been reported this week, the Port of Vancouver held a second vote and again unanimously approved the proposed Tesoro/Savage Crude Oil Terminal, the largest such facility in the Pacific Northwest.
The Tesoro/Savage project now faces a yearlong examination by the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (or EFSEC). EFSEC will make a recommendation to Washington Governor Inslee on the project and, then, the Governor will make the final decision to deny or approve the terminal.
There are 2 important EFSEC meetings regarding the proposed Crude Oil Terminal coming up this week.
It is important for everyone to attend these meetings and voice their opposition to the Tesoro Savage Terminal.
