(Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc's (RDSa.L)
proposal to move by rail up to 60,000 barrels per day of North American
crude to its Washington state refinery will not have to undergo a
lengthy environmental review, local planners said this week.
The plan still awaits multiple permit approvals before construction can start, but the Skagit County Planning and Development Services division's decision that a full-fledged environmental review is not required eliminates what could have been a lengthy delay of up to a year.
Shell's project could now start up by early 2015, but the company has not disclosed when.
"Construction timing will depend on when all of the permits are approved. We are still too early in the overall permit process to forecast when we will start construction," Shell spokeswoman Destin Singleton said on Friday.
