Kotek declares state of emergency in Oregon over pipeline shutdown

Oregon is in a fuel emergency following a shutdown of the Olympic Pipeline, Gov. Tina Kotek declared Nov. 24.

The pipeline provides more than 90% of the fuel used for Oregon’s transportation and was shut down Nov. 17, Kotek said.

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson issued an emergency declaration because of the leak on Nov. 19. The declaration activated an emergency management plan and temporarily lifted some regulations for commercial vehicles bringing jet fuel to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

A leak in the pipeline was found during regular maintenance in Washington on Nov. 11, Ferguson said in the declaration.

Oregon does not anticipate shortages to the fuel supply or jet fuel impacts at Oregon’s airports, but prices at the gas pump could increase for Oregonian drivers due to “higher-cost delivery methods,” an FAQ for Kotek’s order said.

The FAQ said it was unknown when the pipeline’s service would be restored.

The order directs the Oregon Department of Emergency Management to use an emergency plan to direct and determine how agencies can respond.

The Oregon Department of Energy will communicate updates and advice to the state and fuel industry. ODOE will follow the Oregon Fuel Action Plan, which gives guidance for outages or impacts to the fuel supply.

Commercial vehicles “providing direct assistance supporting emergency relief efforts” will get regulatory support from the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the order directs the department to provide waivers to “state-regulated hours-of service requirements.”

The order is in effect for 30 days, but Kotek can extend or end it early.

At about 7:09 p.m., after the swimmer had been missing for about an hour, emergency personnel reported seeing his body in 10 to 12 feet of water just downstream from where he was last seen. The Lane County Search and Rescue Dive Team was requested to assist with recovering the swimmer from what authorities described as a challenging location.

Just after midnight, 18-year-old Dallas Davis of Newport was recovered from the river.

The incident is being investigated as a drowning, and next of kin was notified.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Siletz Fire Department, Lane County Search and Rescue and the Lincoln County Medical Examiner’s Office.
