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

Monday. “It shows that when

“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.

said in November that it
was extremely disappointed
with the panel’s decision and
noted that the board “set an

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.

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.

Crew member dies in helicopter crash
during mule deer survey
POMEROY, Wash. (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.
