The Port of Vancouver’s board of commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to put an end date on Vancouver Energy’s rolling lease for a proposed oil terminal.

The commission directed port CEO Julianna Marler to provide notice to Vancouver Energy that they must receive the necessary licenses, permits and approvals required to operate by March 31 or the lease will be terminated.

Given the state’s Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council’s unanimous recommendation that Gov. Jay Inslee deny the project, Vancouver Energy will almost certainly not meet the lease requirements.

The move wasn’t on the meeting agenda but was highly anticipated, given that vocal terminal opponent and newly elected Commissioner Don Orange took office, alongside fellow terminal opponent Commissioner Eric LaBrant.

LaBrant made the motion to change the lease and Orange seconded, one of his first votes on his first day on the board.
