Whatcom will consider another temporary limit on fuel shipments from Cherry Point
Whatcom County Council members will consider another temporary ban on shipment of unrefined fossil fuels from the oil refineries at the Cherry Point industrial area west of Ferndale.
Council members Tyler Byrd, Ben Elenbaas and Kathy Kershner voted against a measure to consider the extension, which passed 4-3 on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
Consideration of another temporary ban will be at the council’s next meeting on June 2, 2020.
It would be the ninth such action since a short-term emergency ordinance was first enacted in 2016.
