Liquid Fuel Distribution Prioritization Planning ProjectThe Region 6 Critical Infrastructure Working Group has completed its fuel distribution prioritization framework planning project. This project coordinated King County and the Washington State Department of Commerce fuel planning efforts to inform what the priorities will be in a fuel emergency. Additionally, this project assisted emergency fuel managers in understanding the dependencies and interdependencies that exist between the various infrastructures.
Petroleum fuels are currently supplied to King County and all of Western Washington via pipeline from Whatcom County. The system provides gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels. There is no other source of these fuels coming into the region in quantity. The framework provides a roadmap and initial assessment of the current fuel infrastructure in the region. |
