The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) wants the public to weigh-in on an air pollution permit for Global Partners’ Port Westward facility, also known as Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery. Located in the Columbia River estuary, Global Partners’ oil ambitions threaten public safety, salmon, and clean water. We need your help to ensure Global’s new permit does not facilitate more crude oil trains along the Columbia.

People in the Pacific Northwest know that oil trains are reckless. The so-called pipelines on rail pose unacceptable risks to public safety, health, and clean water. We learned these lessons first-hand when an oil train derailed, spilled, and burned in Mosier, Oregon, in 2016. Yet, the oil industry continues to push forward new plans and schemes to increase oil-train traffic through our region. Take a stand: comment today.
