Attend Public Hearing in Mt. Vernon on Tesoro Shoreline Permit: Thursday 11/2
Source: RE Sources for Sustainable Communities
Description: 9:00AM (sign-up starts 8:30 AM). Skagit Commissioners’ Hearing Room (1800 Continental Place, Mount Vernon, (map)) – RSVP on Facebook
Background:
Tesoro Anacortes Refinery wants to start producing and exporting xylenes — toxic, flammable petrochemicals.
This facility expansion will bring sixty more tankers per year carrying toxic chemicals through narrow passageways, in addition to crude oil export shipments from Tesoro’s terminals in Anacortes and Vancouver, WA— increasing the risk of a disastrous spill in the Salish Sea.
Tesoro needs Skagit County to approve a Shoreline Permit in order to move forward. We’re asking them to withhold the permit. And we have a strong case, since the Environmental Impact Statement issued by the County is flawed, incomplete, and ignores documented comments.
We’re also asking for a permit with stronger restrictions to be required: a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit. If Skagit County requires this permit for new and existing overwater structures, it could effectively stop crude oil exports and the xylene expansion project.

Protect Methow Headwaters from Mining! Deadline 11/6
Source: Methow Headwaters
Description:
The Methow Headwaters Campaign hit another major milestone on October 5, 2017, when the U.S. Forest Service announced the public scoping open for the Methow Headwaters mineral withdrawal. The USFS will accept comments during the scoping phase of an environmental analysis for 30 days, ending November 6, 2017. The goal during this public comment period is to make the case for the 20-year withdrawal.

Background:
In April 2014, a Canadian Company — Blue River Resources — filed for permits to conduct exploratory drilling for copper on Flagg Mountain on U.S. Forest Service land, at the north end of the Methow Valley. Under the antiquated 1872 mining law, any citizen or private company can stake such claims, and the agency must entertain and evaluate such proposals. The Methow Valley — especially farther west near Harts Pass—has a long history of mining, and Flagg Mountain has been explored several times historically, but not since the 1970s by the Quintana Company. Exploratory drilling is the first step to developing a large-scale, likely open-pit mine in the upper Methow.

Ana was told she would have to do the job without pay, if she didn’t lose the position completely, because she is undocumented. Over the summer, Ana worked as the AS VP for Governmental Affairs without pay and was officially made an unpaid volunteer in her position. This position is normally paid $950 a month and works 19 hours a week. Ana works 19 hours a week, but without pay. Western Washington University Blue Group is promoting this fundraiser.

Defending the Methane Waste Prevention Rule against a Rollback: Deadline 11/6
Source: Save EPA Alums
Description:
The Trump Administration’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing rolling back a critical rule that limits waste of federal natural gas resources, avoids the loss of royalty payments to governments, and reduces a significant source of air and climate pollution.
Background:
The BLM is proposing to delay implementation of almost every substantive provision of the Waste Prevention Rule for 18 months, until January 17, 2019. During this period, the Trump Administration will consider how it will modify or pull back the rule. The rationale for the current proposal is to avoid imposing compliance costs on operators for requirements “that may be rescinded or significantly revised” by the Trump Administration.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued the rule in November 2016 to reduce waste of natural gas from flaring, venting and leaks from oil and gas production on public and tribal lands. The requirements are designed to limit waste of federal natural gas resources and avoid loss of royalty payments to federal, state and tribal governments for the sale of their resources. The rule has the additional benefit of reducing air pollutant emissions that drive smog and climate change. The rule replaces old and ineffective regulations that had not been updated in 35 years.
