AP Photo/Don Ryan,File extremely unlikely.” Developers have said the terminal is needed to bring crude oil from North Dakota and other areas to a western U.S. port to meet growing fuel demands and future energy needs. They’ve argued that it could be built safely and would secure a reliable supply of energy for the state. Project developers have 30 days to appeal the gover- nor’s decision in Thurston County Superior Court. “It’s a real victory for the community of Vancouver and the people of Washington,” Michael Lang, conservation director with Friends of the Columbia Gorge, said Monday. “It shows that when projects are proposed that 10s National Summary: Snow will fall on parts of the Northeastern states for a time today. Meanwhile, spotty snow is forecast from the northern Rockies to the northern Plains as rain soaks western Washington and Oregon. By PHUONG LE Associated Press “The Council has thor- oughly examined these and other issues and determined that it is not possible to adequately mitigate the risks, or eliminate or minimize the adverse impacts of the facility, to an acceptable level,” Inslee wrote. The state energy panel concluded in its report that developers didn’t meet the burden to show that the project proposed at the port of Vancouver site would produce a net benefit in balancing the need for energy and the impact to the public. Messages to a Vancouver Energy spokesman was not immediately returned Monday. Vancouver Energy said in November that it was extremely disappointed with the panel’s decision and noted that the board “set an impossible standard for new energy facilities based on the risk of incidents that the Final Environmental Impact Statement characterizes as 0s showers t-storms Washington governor rejects permit for oil-by-rail terminal SEATTLE — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday rejected a permit for a massive oil-by-rail terminal proposed along the Columbia River, saying the risks and impacts outweighed the need for and potential benefits of the project. Inslee said he agreed with the recommendation of a state energy panel, which unanimously voted in November to recommend that the Vancouver Energy project in southwest Wash- ington be denied. The joint venture of Tesoro Corp. and Savage Companies proposed to receive about 360,000 barrels of North American crude oil a day by trains at the port of Vancouver. Oil would temporarily be stored on site and then loaded onto tankers and ships bound for West Coast refineries. The decision represents a victory for environmental and local groups, tribes and cities that opposed the project, saying it posed too great a risk to communities and the environment. Inslee told the state Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council in a letter Monday that he found “ample support in the record” for the panel’s decision. The governor, who is a Democrat, highlighted several issues that led him to his decision, including seismic risks at the site, the potential for an oil spill and the risk that a fire or explosion at the facility would harm workers and the community. -0s pose a significant threat to health and public safety that we can say ‘no’.” An environmental study released last year found that the project poses a potential risk of oil spills, train acci- dents and longer emergency response times due to road traffic. Many of the risks could be decreased with certain mitigation measures, but the study outlined four areas where it said the impacts are significant and cannot be avoided. It identified those risks as train accidents, emergency response delays, negative impacts on low-in- come communities and the possibility that an earthquake would damage the facility’s dock and cause an oil spill.

(AP) — A 19-year-old Colorado man was killed and two others on board were injured during the crash of a helicopter contracted by Washington state to help with a mule deer survey, authorities said Monday. Benjamin M. Poirier of Berthoud, Colorado, died when the aircraft crashed Saturday during the first day of deer capture efforts in the Blue Mountains as part of a research project on movement and survival of animals, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Pilot Blake Malo, 33, of Clarkston, Washington, and another crew member, Garrett Bradshaw, 30, of Eagle Point, Oregon, were taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston. The three men were employed by Hells Canyon Helicopters, which was flying under contract with the state wildlife agency. A woman who returned a message left with the company said the families are still in shock. Suit tries to block roundup of nearly 10,000 Nevada mustangs RENO, Nev. (AP) — Animal rights activists are suing to block what they say is an unprecedented federal plan to capture thousands of wild horses over 10 years in Nevada without the legally required environmental reviews intended to protect the mustangs and U.S. rangeland. Friends of Animals accuse the U.S. Bureau of Land Management violating the National Environmental Policy Act and other laws by approving the removal of nearly 10,000 mustangs across an area near the Nevada-Utah line almost twice as big as the state of Delaware. The “roundup decision is unprecedented in size and scope,” according to the suit filed Thursday in Reno. It would allow BLM to “continually roundup, remove, drug and castrate wild horses for 10 years after the initial roundup,” the suit said.
