1 Environmental Reviews and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Process November 2014
2 Energy Storage or Refining - Existing Facilities and Proposals BP Refinery (Cherry Point) Phillips 66 Refinery (Ferndale) Gateway Pacific Terminal (Bellingham) Tesoro Refinery Shell Puget Sound Refinery (Anacortes) Oil Refinery Coal November 2014 Legend Bulk Oil LNG Methanol Propane/Butane Westway Terminal Imperium Bulk Liquids Terminal US Development / Grays Harbor Rail Terminal (Grays Harbor) US Oil and Refining (Tacoma) Sound Targa Terminal (Tacoma) PSE/ TOTE (Tacoma) NW Innovation Works ( Tacoma) In Environmental Review Columbia Pacific (Clatskanie OR) Oregon LNG (Astoria) Millennium Bulk Terminals (Longview) Haven Energy (Longview) Vancouver Energy Nustar (Vancouver) NW Innovation Works ( Kalama and Port Westward OR) Pembina (Portland) Morrow Pacific Project (Boardman OR) Coastal Atlas
3 SEPA Purpose and Lead Agencies The purpose of the SEPA environmental review is to determine if there are potential significant impacts from a proposal and if so, can they can be mitigated. Washington State has multiple facility expansions and new facilities proposed to handle a variety of energy commodities. There are different SEPA lead agencies based on the permits required and other requirements. Could be a port, city, county or state agency. For proposals to construct facilities on a single site for storing a total of one million or more gallons of any liquid the lead agency shall be Ecology.
4 Why an Environmental Impact Statement? Under SEPA, an EIS is necessary if a proposal is likely to result in significant adverse environmental impacts This determination is made by the SEPA lead agency or co-lead agencies after scoping.
5 Permit decisions are made only after the EISs are completed. These permits are based on regulatory requirements for each agency responsible.
6 Elements of the Environment An EIS will evaluate: Affected Environment (existing conditions) Direct and Indirect Impacts of Proposal No Action Alternative Cumulative Impacts Potential Mitigation Measures
7 EIS Studies Many resource areas are being studied in each EIS. These are evaluated based on the proposals. For example: Rail Transportation Impacts Vessel Transportation Impacts Environmental Health Spill Risks Fire and Explosion Risks Tsunami and Seismic Risks
8 Example: Rail Impacts For the Westway and Imperium proposals, the Co-Leads are studying potential rail traffic impacts: Analysis of safety considerations of transport of crude associated with infrastructure, (trackage, grade crossings, water crossings) and safety of cars transporting oil Train and vehicle delays, and associated safety issues * The level of detail for the above will be commensurate with the significance of the impact in a particular location
