future vessel traffic levels. The Proposed
Action is continuing the existing
operations at the BP Cherry Point Dock
with two berths, one principally for
import of crude oil and the other for
distribution of refined petroleum
products.
The Corps has been directed by Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals to complete an
EIS on the impacts of the permitted
dock.
The Draft EIS was prepared in
accordance with the National
