Wow! The City of Tacoma has decided that the SeaPort Sound Terminal proposal to build new fossil fuel storage tanks requires an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The City is accepting input on the scope of the EIS, that is, input on things they should take into consideration. Right now they are considering "emergency response, risks to public safety, intelligent transportation systems for emergency access, spill prevention and response, and air quality - to include the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions from the additional products to be stored on the site."

Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions!

Please send your thoughts on this as well as a thank you for standing up to unchecked fossil fuel expansion in Tacoma!
