Zenith Energy Facility Plans

​As reported in the Oregonian, Zenith Energy has plans to increase the shipments of Canadian Tar Sands Crude to their facility in NW Portland. This crude oil will then be loaded onto ships and sent primarily to China and South Korea. Tar Sands Crude is a very heavy oil that is often diluted with toxic chemicals like hydrogen sulfide, benzene and toluene. These chemicals are very toxic and dangerous if inhaled. HiNooN has had contact with the Zenith Collaborative, a community group that share the concern for the many negative impacts. We hope to get a short presentation in the coming months.
This section features key topics being discussed by the community, with more topics inside.....
THE CAROUSEL

HiNooN continues to engage in the effort to bring the Carousel back to the Island. The results of the informal survey taken a few weeks ago with very high approval votes was shared with  the Restore Oregon team. They are in the process of reaching out to potential partners and identifying the  strongest contenders. Watch here for more as it develops.



​THE I-5 BRIDGE

​  Below is the most current draft resolution that HINooN is proposing to submit to the State and Federal entities involved with the I5 bridge planning. Our goal is to shop this resolution with all Island residents for comments before moving forward. Please share this with your HOA's, neighbors, and interested parties.

For a full look at the Jim Howell plan,  click here . 

We understand this is a huge undertaking and we want to make sure everyone has plenty of time to read the resolution and review the information. 

​ We ask that each HOA or individual submit comments by end of day, Sunday, July 7. HINooN will then prepare a review of the comments and feedback received for discussion at the July 11 HINooN meeting. 

Please submit comments to Richelle Beck:

Thank you for your time and consideration in this important issue. We hope to hear from you by July 7!
