Letter: Support oil terminal for Vancouver

By Nate Stokes, VANCOUVER
Published: July 8, 2017, 6:00am

The safety of my brothers and sisters is of utmost importance to me and to all who work in the building trades. That’s why we have actively supported the Vancouver Energy project at the Port of Vancouver USA — safety comes first.

This project would bring together more than 1,000 people in the construction and operation of this facility. We know Tesoro-Savage is taking all of the necessary steps to put worker safety first, through its on-site protocols, worker training and a commitment to slowly increase operations based solely on their safety performance. We also realize this project has been subject to one of the most intense regulatory reviews in Washington state history, and that every aspect of this project is being analyzed, including its safety.

We believe Vancouver Energy can operate safely here in Southwest Washington, and we are prepared to help build this facility in a way that brings every one of our workers back home to their families safely each night.
