NOAA's consultation record and the Army Corps tribal-relations process place Port Westward inside a Columbia River fisheries and tribal-resource file, not a stand-alone local land-use dispute.
Local filings now point the Corps to Beaver Drainage Improvement Company comments, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission materials, Draft EIS transport volumes, and questions about how the applicant's filings line up with the federal review.
The official record already shows this river system supports active commercial fishing, habitat that NOAA treats as economically important, and high-value Columbia salmon activity, which makes spill risk a fishing-economy issue too.
