Tribal response to oil transport spill
An oil train derailment by
the Columbia River has
brought into clearer focus
an issue the tribes have been
warning about for years.
“It was not a matter of
if, but when,” said Warm
Springs Tribal Council
Chairman Austin Greene.
“It’s been a disaster waiting
to happen.”
Chairman Greene earlier
this week visited the site
where the train derailment
happened, at Mosier on the
Columbia. A volatile type of
oi, Bakken, spilled from cars
that went off the rails. This
sparked a fire, and oil that
seeped into the Mosier water
system, threatening the Co-
lumbia. This is an obvious
threat to the tribes’ treaty fish-
ing rights at the river.
The Confederated Tribes
for three years now have been
saying a spill such, or worse,
is inevitable. Other river
tribes also voiced their con-
cern about the on-going prob-
lem of oil and coal transport
by rail along the river.
