Name
Trans Mountain Pipeline - Laurel Station
Date
April 6, 2026
Address
1009 East Smith Road, Bellingham
Description
The revision changes how Trans Mountain Pipeline calculates air emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from usage of two (2) existing breakout tanks that store crude oil. Instead of tracking the volume of crude stored in the breakout tanks, a surrogate for calculating VOC emissions, Trans Mountain Pipeline will perform monthly VOC emission calculations. No new equipment, and no physical changes to the existing equipment, are being approved. The amount of air emissions (VOCs) will not increase above the amount that Trans Mountain Pipeline applied for in 2007 when the facility permitted the construction of the breakout tanks. Trans Mountain Pipeline also requested, and NWCAA is proposing to approve, submission of monitoring reports to the Environmental Protection Agency’s online portal instead of requiring paper submittals.
