ILTA Holds EGHSS Meeting in Louisville, KY

ILTA’s Spring Environment, Government, Health, Safety & Security (EGHSS) Committee Meeting was held over March 11-12 in Louisville, KY. The event, attended by over 50 terminal professionals from across the country, featured two days of informative discussion and presentations from experts in the industry.  

Tuesday began with a tour of Marathon Petroleum’s Algonquin terminal facility outside of Louisville, where attendees learned from the facility’s workers about Marathon’s safety culture, operations, and products handled at the site.  

Later, day one featured the Security and Government Affairs Subcommittees, while day two held the Environment and Health & Safety Subcommittees. The meeting also marked the passing of the chair positions to two new individuals in both the Environment and Security Subcommittees: Simone Wallace, Hartree Partners and Scott Buckner, CITGO (Environment), as well as Ronnie Odom, Ergon Inc. and Jimmy Wooten, Murphy USA (Security). ILTA thanks the chairs of the respective committees again for their dedication to serving the industry. 

ILTA’s Fall 2025 EGHSS Committee Meeting will be held over September 30-October 1 in Denver, CO. 

ILTA Sends Policy Introduction Letter to Trump Administration and Key Agencies 

On March 25, as part of its advocacy in the 119th Congress, ILTA sent a letter with a comprehensive policy overview of the terminals industry and its interests to the Trump Administration and key political offices across various agencies.  

The letter highlights how the terminaling industry’s role in the liquid supply chain aligns with the executive branch’s focus on securing the nation’s energy independence, as well as how the White House can best work with industry to address ongoing regulatory issues.

ILTA Submits Letter to EPA Asking for Presidential Exemptions on Two Changes to NESHAP 

On March 31, ILTA sent a letter to EPA asking for Presidential Exemptions on two changes to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). In particular, ILTA highlighted lack of available technologies required under the 2024 revised standards, as well as the role terminals play in national security. 

The letter continues the dialogue ILTA has had with EPA alongside API and AFPM as part of the wider challenge to the 2024 Gasoline Distribution and NSPS Subpart Kc final rules. Read and download the full letter here. 

RFA Highlights the Key Issues and Challenges Facing the Renewable Fuels Industry 

On March 21, ILTA hosted an Energy Evolution webinar featuring Troy Bredenkamp, Executive Vice President of Public Policy, and Justin Schultz, Director of Environment, Health & Safety at the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA). Troy and Justin have decades of experience in policy and industry, leading the development and implementation of a wide range of initiatives to support both the RFA’s mission and the broader needs of the renewable fuels industry.

The webinar featured a conversation with Troy and Justin about how the current administration and Congress are influencing policies affecting the renewable fuels market, RFA’s outlook on key opportunities and challenges, and how the association’s members are adapting to changes that also impact bulk liquid storage, handling, and distribution. Missed the webinar?

Senate Efforts Resume to Shield Passive PFAS Receivers from Superfund Liability 

During remarks at a March 24 meeting, Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) reaffirmed her push for bipartisan legislation to exempt passive receivers of PFAS contamination from Superfund liability. While past negotiations stalled with Democrats in the previous Congress, Capito has long indicated her support and has renewed her case for addressing the issue. Additionally, she further indicated that upcoming legislative proposals will likely address PFAS destruction technologies as well as reinitiate efforts to establish a consistent, narrower federal definition of PFAS.

Uncertainty Surrounds Trump EPA’s PFAS Approach Pending New Leadership 

The Trump EPA is holding off on making any definitive moves regarding Biden-era PFAS regulations as it awaits the appointment of a new PFAS lead. According to a spokesperson from EPA, the agency will not comment on how the administration intends to address PFAS contamination until the new appointee is in place—though it remains unclear who that will be or when they will begin. This decision signals that PFAS may continue to be a priority, even if the new administration attempts to roll back the landmark CERCLA designation, drinking water rule, and other policies.
