		<description><![CDATA[As we have reported, this August 1st marks the deadline for the Port of Vancouver to renew the lease for the Tesoro Savage Oil Terminal. Tesoro Savage has approached the Port with a proposed 2-year extension to renew the lease prior to the August 1 deadline. The Port&#8217;s staff, although still on record supporting the Tesoro project, recommends against the lease renewal, citing growing concerns with the terminal moving forward. Port Commissioners will vote on the lease renewal on Friday April 15th and are holding a public hearing next Tuesday at Clark College to hear public testimony in advance of their vote on the lease renewal. A quite different slate of Port Commissioners will vote this time compared to those on the commission in 2013 when the lease was first approved after massive public opposition.  With the addition of Eric LaBrant last year, a staunch opponent to the terminal, the three Port Commissioners are now divided in their support.  Commissioner Brian Wolfe is also now voicing his own concerns with the Tesoro project. From the Columbian: Wolfe, who has become the three-member commission’s swing vote on the oil terminal lease changes, said he won’t make up his mind on his vote until after Tuesday’s daylong public hearing at Clark College’s Gaiser Hall. The commission expects to vote on the request on April 15. “My position today is I’m still going to listen to everybody next week and try to do at the end of the week what’s best for the Port of Vancouver,” said Wolfe, who backed the initial lease agreement. Eric LaBrant was not a member when the commission unanimously approved the original lease in 2013. But he won his seat on an anti-terminal platform, easily beating a staunch terminal supporter. Commissioner Jerry Oliver remains a supporter of the<a class="more-link" href="http://www.rosemerena.org/home/2016/04/08/breaking-port-of-vancouver-holds-oil-terminal-lease-amendment-public-hearing/">[Read More...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following record breaking attendance at open hearings in Vancouver and Spokane, EFSEC, Washington State&#8217;s Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council, is now tasked with sifting through the volume of public input regarding the proposed Tesoro Savage Oil Terminal at the Port of Vancouver.  A record number of public comments &#8211; more than 250,000 &#8211; were submitted to EFSEC during the DEIS public comment period that ended January 22. Opposition to the terminal has been unprecedented, from such diverse organizations as Vancouver City Council, City of Portland, Multnomah County Commissioners, Vancouver Firefighters Union IAFF Local 452, ILWU Local 4, Columbia Waterfront LLC, Columbia River Inter-tribal Fish Commission, the sport fishing community, and the environmental community. Vancouver City Council voted to extend its moratorium on crude oil-handling facilities for another six months, their third extension in two years. Vancouver&#8217;s Comments on Draft EIS called the DEIS &#8220;wholly indadequate&#8221; and it&#8217;s &#8220;risk analysis is fatally flawed.&#8221; Even the Washington Attorney General called out EFSEC&#8217;s DEIS &#8220;&#8230;two significant deficiencies in the DEIS: (1) a flawed statistical analysis of train-derailment risk, and (2) insufficient analysis of the effort and investment required to bring first responders along the crude-oil-train route contemplated by the Tesoro-Savage project to a proper state of preparedness.&#8221; Rosemere Neighborhood Association has been vocal in its opposition to the terminal. The environmental risks posed by the terminal as outlined in the DEIS are too great and create excessive and unnecessary dangers to our communities and our precious water resources. RNA public commentary urges EFSEC members do everything in their power to deny the project and recommend Governor Inslee reject the Tesoro-Savage oil terminal. Read the full text of Rosemere Neighborhood Association Oil Terminal DEIS comments here. EFSEC has announced there will be a series of &#8220;adjudication hearings&#8221; this June, where the various stakeholders in the<a class="more-link" href="http://www.rosemerena.org/home/2016/02/17/efsec-receives-record-number-of-comments-on-oil-terminal-proposal/">[Read More...]</a>]]></description>
