The Westway Terminal Co.’s project would expand an existing facility at the Port of Grays Harbor, bringing capacity to 750 million gallons of crude oil annually.
The facility would be served by oil trains, like the one that derailed near the Columbia River Gorge city of Mosier in June, the oil catching fire and leaking to contaminate groundwater.
