We are almost to the finish line for Multnomah County Commissioners passing an ordinance to require Risk Bonds for fossil fuel companies in the CEI HUB.
The commissioners need to know that there is broad community support for this.
1. Show up Thursday 11/21 at 11:00 AM in RED, 501 SE Hawthorne, Multnomah County Commission Board Room.
Show support for the Fuel Tank Financial Responsibility Ordinance (aka Risk Bonds).
Make fuel companies in the CEI Hub pay up front for the inevitable disasters and accidents - and act as an incentive to stabilize, relocate, or decommission their tanks.
2. If you are able to express support, and submit a brief comment before midnight (11:59 PM) Monday, here is the link.
3. Comments can be submitted at any time here. Choose Agenda item R6, written testimony only.
Comments could emphasize:
- Adequate penalties for non-compliance (we are recommending $25,000 per day)
- Timing to require the assurances within 1-2 years
- Assurances must exclude "self-insurance" or "captive insurance" (where the business creates their own insurance company) .
Alternatively you could say: We support the comments of the Risk Bond Coalition.
