WASHINGTON<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Los senadores de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley y Ron Wyden instaron hoy al Departamento de Transporte a garantizar que los ferrocarriles notifiquen a los estados sobre todos los env\u00edos de petr\u00f3leo que se transportan por tren, no solo petr\u00f3leo de una regi\u00f3n del pa\u00eds, como lo exige una orden de emergencia del DOT emitida a principios de esta semana.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El orden de emergencia<\/a> anunciado por el DOT el mi\u00e9rcoles solo requerir\u00eda que las compa\u00f1\u00edas ferroviarias notifiquen a las Comisiones Estatales de Respuesta a Emergencias sobre los env\u00edos ferroviarios de petr\u00f3leo producido en la regi\u00f3n de la Formaci\u00f3n Bakken que se encuentra en Montana y Dakota del Norte y del Sur, y no aborda los env\u00edos de petr\u00f3leo por ferrocarril a partir del petr\u00f3leo producido en otras regiones del pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

"Creemos firmemente que esta orden de emergencia podr\u00eda fortalecerse y mejorarse al incluir el petr\u00f3leo producido y transportado desde otras partes de Am\u00e9rica del Norte, en lugar de limitarlo a los trenes que se originan en la regi\u00f3n de Bakken".<\/strong> <\/strong>escribieron los senadores en la carta.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

La producci\u00f3n nacional de petr\u00f3leo se encuentra en su punto m\u00e1s alto desde 1988, con una producci\u00f3n creciente en estados como Texas, Dakota del Norte, Oklahoma, Nuevo M\u00e9xico y Utah. <\/em>Una serie de descarrilamientos de trenes petroleros como el del a\u00f1o pasado en Lac Megantic, cerca de Quebec, donde 47 personas murieron despu\u00e9s de que explotara un tren que transportaba petr\u00f3leo crudo, ha llevado a los legisladores a observar m\u00e1s de cerca los impactos potencialmente devastadores del transporte de cantidades cada vez mayores de petr\u00f3leo por ferrocarril, independientemente de su origen.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Merkley y Wyden han estado presionando para obtener m\u00e1s recursos para las comunidades despu\u00e9s de escuchar de los socorristas en Oreg\u00f3n que los funcionarios de emergencia necesitan m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n para poder responder adecuadamente cuando ocurren accidentes. En abril, Merkley y Wyden, junto con otros 14 senadores, presionaron al Congreso para que creara un nuevo fondo dedicado a responder a los accidentes relacionados con el transporte de energ\u00eda.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Estimado Secretario Foxx:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Escribimos con preocupaci\u00f3n que la orden de emergencia emitida esta semana por el Departamento de Transporte que requiere que los ferrocarriles notifiquen a los estados sobre los env\u00edos de crudo por ferrocarril es inadecuada dado que su alcance se limita \u00fanicamente al petr\u00f3leo transportado desde la regi\u00f3n de Bakken. Creemos que la orden de emergencia es un paso importante para mejorar la seguridad y refleja las preocupaciones que hemos escuchado tanto de los socorristas de Oreg\u00f3n como del testimonio reciente ante la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Creemos firmemente que esta orden de emergencia podr\u00eda fortalecerse y mejorarse al incluir el petr\u00f3leo producido y transportado desde otras partes de Am\u00e9rica del Norte, en lugar de limitarlo a los trenes que se originan en la regi\u00f3n de Bakken. Es cierto que la mayor\u00eda del petr\u00f3leo crudo transportado actualmente por ferrocarril se origina en Bakken, y all\u00ed se ha centrado una gran atenci\u00f3n desde que recientes accidentes, derrames, incendios y explosiones han involucrado trenes que transportan crudo Bakken. Sin embargo, el DOT no debe perder de vista el hecho de que los env\u00edos de crudo por ferrocarril no se limitan a los trenes que se originan en Bakken. La producci\u00f3n nacional de petr\u00f3leo alcanz\u00f3 recientemente su punto m\u00e1s alto desde 1988, y el r\u00e1pido aumento de los env\u00edos de crudo por ferrocarril desde 2009 ha incluido m\u00faltiples estados y m\u00faltiples regiones productoras de petr\u00f3leo en Am\u00e9rica del Norte. Cualquier accidente que involucre un tren de petr\u00f3leo crudo, ya sea de Bakken o de otro lugar, presenta riesgos graves para la salud p\u00fablica, la seguridad y el medio ambiente.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

el oregoniano <\/em>inform\u00f3 recientemente que Union Pacific est\u00e1 operando trenes de petr\u00f3leo en el lado de Oregon de Columbia Gorge con petr\u00f3leo crudo producido en Utah. Estos trenes transportan mucho m\u00e1s que el m\u00ednimo de 1,000,000 de galones que desencadenar\u00eda los requisitos de notificaci\u00f3n estatal seg\u00fan la orden de emergencia. Dichos trenes petroleros que no son de Bakken no se limitan a Oreg\u00f3n. Docenas de instalaciones est\u00e1n en operaci\u00f3n o planificadas que cargar\u00edan, manejar\u00edan o recibir\u00edan petr\u00f3leo crudo que no es de Bakken, por un total de cientos de miles de barriles diarios. Este desarrollo es subrayado tanto por Union Pacific como por BNSF Railway, que promueven el acceso a cuencas productoras de petr\u00f3leo, incluidas Eagle Ford, Permian, Uinta y Niobrara, en estados como Texas, Colorado, Nuevo M\u00e9xico, Utah y Wyoming. Finalmente, la exclusi\u00f3n de otras regiones no es consistente con las \u00f3rdenes de emergencia anteriores del Departamento, que reconocieron la pr\u00e1ctica generalizada y multirregional de enviar crudo por ferrocarril.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Por lo tanto, le recomendamos enf\u00e1ticamente que reconsidere el alcance de la orden de emergencia para abarcar todos los trenes petroleros que transporten m\u00e1s de 1,000,000 millones de galones. Al hacerlo, el DOT brindar\u00e1 a los funcionarios de emergencia estatales y locales informaci\u00f3n cr\u00edtica sobre c\u00f3mo responder mejor a posibles accidentes de crudo por ferrocarril que ocurran dentro de sus jurisdicciones.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gracias por su consideraci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
