Did the City of Tacoma Hide Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Safety Documents from the Public?

August 9, 2019 by webmaster Leave a Comment

For Immediate Release – August 7, 2019

The City of Tacoma withheld emergency response planning models about Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility from the public. Advocates for a Cleaner Tacoma (ACT) recently obtained Public Disclosure Request (PDR) results (See Figures 1 and 2) that show the Tacoma Fire Department (TFD) ran emergency response planning models resulting in a zone up to 12.6 miles . TFD ran their emergency response models in 2016, more than 3 years ago, but did not disclose the information to the public. This is in contrast to the safety siting model completed by PSE that was used for siting new facilities, which resulted in a 550 foot radius zone.
