Key Facts on the Oil Refinery, Crude-By-Rail & LPG Export
Key Facts on the oil refinery, crude-by-rail & LPG export terminals at the Port of Longview Another crude-by-rail proposal on the Columbia—and an oil refinery and LPG export terminal, too! - Riverside Refining expanded its plans for the Port of Longview. In addition to a refinery, Riverside’s backers are also promoting the Washington Energy Storage Transfer (WEST) project: a crude-by-rail trans-loading terminal and an LPG export terminal. Riverside and WEST are both backed by a company called Waterside. - Riverside and WEST propose to bring explosive Bakken crude oil or heavy crude from the Alberta tar sands to Longview by rail –up to two unit trains each day-- and send tankers carrying crude oil and refined petroleum through the environmentally sensitive Columbia River estuary. Riverside plans to refine 30,000 barrels for crude per day at the Port of Longview, WA. - WEST proposes to bring one unit train of LPG per day (72,500 barrels per train) to the Port of Longview for export to international markets. - WEST, Riverside, and the Port of Longview, and officials in the Washington Governor’s office have been discussing the refinery for months behind closed doors. Crude-by-rail and oil refineries don’t belong in our communities, or on the Columbia. - Crude-by-rail is extremely dangerous. Even new-generation rail tank cars are only puncture resistant up to 12 miles per hour. - Oil refineries emit carcinogens and neurotoxins into the air we breathe. - Riverside Refining LLC’s proposed refinery and the WEST crude-by-rail and LPG export terminals would be less than a quarter mile from homes and commercial businesses in Longview.

The American Association of Port Authorities
Dan Polacek [email protected] (360) 425-3305 Longview, Washington – The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) recently honored the Port of Longview with two Awards of Excellence as part of their 53rd annual Communications Awards Program which honors member ports throughout the Western Hemisphere for outstanding communications projects. The Port earned the highest score and Award of Excellence in the category Audio Only Presentations for its Port Talk Radio series, a 60-second version of its monthly Port Talk newsletter. The Port again earned the highest score and Award of Excellence in the category Visual Only Presentations for a 64-foot, outdoor educational display at last year’s Cowlitz County fair. This is the fourth year in a row that the Port of Longview has earned awards in the national competition, bringing home nine awards since 2016. “Year after year I continue to be impressed with our communications staff,” said Port Commission President, Doug Averett. “I am exceedingly proud of their creativity and commitment to teaching the community about the complexities of the Port, as are my fellow Commissioners.” The Port of Longview’s projects competed with entries submitted by ports across the United States, including the Port of New Orleans, Port of Stockton, Port of New York/New Jersey, North Carolina Ports, Port of South Louisiana, Port of Beaumont and Port of Corpus Christi Authority. The 2019 AAPA Communications Awards Program utilized 32 professional public relations practitioners from the Washington, D.C. area who cumulatively spent 128 hours over two weeks judging 15 classifications of entries from ports nationwide, ranging from advertisements, periodicals, videos and websites, to social media and overall campaigns.
