What Portland’s proposed 20% fuel storage reduction would require

Sep 18, 2026

BPS proposes a Title 17 program requiring terminals to cut in‑service fuel storage 20% from a 2027 baseline by Dec. 2036, with reporting, a baseline inventory, exemptions (public utility tanks, aviation with discretionary review) and penalties; advocates and industry disagree on method (tank count vs. fuel volume) and timing.

The full story

Staff presented a two‑part compliance framework: create a baseline inventory as of Jan. 1, 2027, require terminals to submit three years of monthly flow data, and require a 20% reduction in in‑service storage capacity by December 2036.
