Please help us pack the house on January 5!
On January 5, Washington’s Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) will hold its first public hearing about the state’s draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the Tesoro Savage oil terminal in Vancouver. The hearing gives us a critical, timely opportunity to make a strong statement about why EFSEC and Governor Inslee must deny the dangerous, dirty Tesoro Savage oil terminal. Although flawed, the DEIS provides ample evidence for Governor Inslee and EFSEC to reject Tesoro’s proposal.
