PORTLAND, OR—A proposed $500 million propane export terminal may face some hurdles.
There is some question as to whether or not Portland's codes allow zoning for the transport of hazardous materials at the site. So says a report in the Portland Business Journal. The site is zoned for heavy industrial use, the article states, but not by a pipeline.
Portland's planning and sustainability commission is set to examine changes to the site's zoning at its Jan. 27 meeting.
The Port of Portland reached a $500 million agreement with Canadian Pembina Pipeline Corp. to build the propane facility at the port's Terminal 6. Environmental interests, including the Audobon Society of Portland, are raising questions about the project, the business site says.
