Description of facility and application
American Petroleum Environmental Services, Inc. submitted an application to Metro for a new solid waste facility license to consolidate and reload oily cleanup materials (such as oily rags, booms, absorbents, etc.). The facility also receives and processes used oil. Other operations would not change under the proposed renewal. The term of the proposed license would extend through June 30, 2022.

The site is zoned IH Heavy Industrial and according to City of Portland, the proposed use is allowed.
