Tribes to intervene in oil terminal debate
Leaders from the Colum-
bia River Inter-Tribal Fish
Commission served notice to
the Tesoro-Savage oil termi-
nal proposal by moving to in-
tervene in Washington’s En-
ergy Facility Site Evaluation
Council proceedings.
CRITFC cited the proposed
terminal’s assortment of risks
to critical salmon habitat and
threats from oil trains to the
Columbia River and tribal fish-
ing communities.
“Today’s intervention re-
flects our commitment to pro-
tect the Columbia River and
its resources and communi-
ties,” said Paul Lumley,
CRITFC executive director.
“The last thing the Colum-
bia River and its communi-
ties need is a constant stream
of dirty and dangerous trains
and barges coming and going
from the Tesoro-Savage ter-
minal. The tribes will not sit
idly by as this threat risks the
hard-fought salmon recovery
efforts the region has accom-
plished.”
For three decades,
CRITFC and its member
tribes—War m
Springs,
Umatilla, Yakama and Nez
Perce—have been working
toward sustainable fisheries
throughout the region.
The
Tesoro-Savage
project, individually and col-
lectively with the multitude of
other energy transportation
proposals, will cause signifi-
cant adverse effects to the
river and its systems, includ-
ing fish, wildlife, water qual-
ity, air quality and treaty-pro-
tected fisheries, Lumley said.
Increasing the number of
oil trains traveling along the
Columbia River would in-
crease the risk of derailments,
potentially catastrophic explo-
sions and rail crossing acci-
dents to tribal communities
living and fishing along the
river.
