After promising to ditch crude oil, documents show that Zenith Energy intends to expand its Portland, OR, terminal while continuing to handle fossil fuels. The amount of liquid fuels passing through the terminal is projected to increase more than 2.5 times above 2022 levels and more than 5.5 times above 2019 numbers—the year Zenith assured DEQ it would not increase throughput.
On this episode of Locus Focus we focus on how Zenith is misleading the public and regulators again, as we talk with Columbia Riverkeeper Senior Organizer Kate Murphy—who provided much of information for a recent ground breaking story in the Oregonian about Zenith's deceptions—and Mary Stites with NW Environmental Defense Center.
