The DEQ's surprise inspection revealed more expansive construction work done by Zenith Energy than anticipated, highlighting the company's lack of transparency in its operations.
Environmental advocates view this pause in the air quality permitting process as an opportunity to push for stricter regulations on Zenith's oil transport and storage in Portland.
Despite previous expectations that the DEQ was ready to approve Zenith's air quality permit renewal, the inspection has now raised significant uncertainties about the company's future operations.
Portland residents' concerns regarding Zenith's environmental impact may finally lead the city council to reconsider previous decisions about the company's operating permissions.
