Spill puts
focus on
oil transport
Leaders from the Colum-
bia River tribes met at
Mosier on June 9. They
gave the tribal view on the
issue of oil terminals and oil
transport by rail through the
Gorge, re-affirming tribal
opposition.
“The tragic derailment of
the Union Pacific oil train in
the Columbia Gorge was no
shock or surprise,” said
War m Springs Council
Chairman Austin Greene Jr.
“This sort of catastrophe
is inevitable when hubris and
greed blind men. Oil trains
in our lands will stain them
deeply over time if we do
not stop them now.”
Councilwoman Carina
Miller gave her support at
the June 9 conference, along
with leaders from Yakama,
and the Columbia River In-
ter-Tribal Fish Commission.

Warm Springs Tribal Council Chairman Austin Greene Jr. addresses the oil transport
issue at Mosier.
The event that brought
this issue to the forefront was
the June 3 train derailment at
Mosier. Several oil calls de-
railed, spilling oil near the
Columbia and causing an ex-
plosion.
“The accident is a reminder
that we should be reducing,
not increasing, the number of
oil and coal trains along the
river,” said CRITFC chair-
man Paul Lumley.
“If projects like the cur-
rently proposed Tesoro-Sav-
age oil terminal or Millen-
nium Bulk coal terminal are
allowed to move forward,
(the Mosier) accident will
only be the first of what
could be many more to come.
We cannot stand idly by this
danger to the river, the
salmon, the people and com-
munities who rely on them.”
Meanwhile, officials from
ODOT, and cities and towns
along the river have also
called for a halt to oil trans-
port by rail along the river.
