Behind closed doors, Zenith is quietly coordinating with the city of Portland, Port of Portland and DEQ to supply the Portland Airport with ‘sustainable aviation fuel.’ Environmental advocates call it a greenwashing campaign, call for transparency. streetroots.org/news/2024/12…

#leakingtanks Last week, USDOE announced that tank T-101 is suspected to be leaking. T-101 is a single-shell tank built in 1943-1944 and started storing radioactive & chemical waste 79 years ago in 1945. Leaked and leaking tank waste is a problem, and it has been for a long time.

The below incident is among the many reasons JWJ joined over 100 neighborhood and community members calling for ACTION and regulation of liquid fuel trains and operations running through Portland. It’s way past time for City Council to say No to Zenith. DEQ: deny the permit!
BREAKING… several cars from a freight train have derailed under the Steel Bridge. Cars are leaning against bridge supports. Bridge CLOSED TO ALL TRAFFIC until crews can determine if there’s any structural damage. Stay with @KATUNews for info #LiveOnK2
