Huge thanks to all those who continue to take a stand against Shell’s illegal occupation of our ports.

For example, any one of the T-5 Intervenors could potentially receive a Notice of Violation at a moment’s notice upon DPD’s reinterpretation of their permits in response to intense political pressure.
.
.
it’s simple. the T-5 intervenors are obviously decent players in our local port economies. if they play by the rules – arbitrary or not – and do right by our communities, “intense political pressure” won’t be applied in their direction.
.
but comparing the T-5 intervenors’ business practices to shell’s is absurd. for example, if vigor had an environmental disaster in the duwamish waterway, the port, city, county, and state would collude to shut them down and penalize them forthwith.
