Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery is a harbour facility located at 81200 Kallunki Road in Clatskanie, Oregon, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a key marine terminal for the bio-refinery sector in the Pacific Northwest region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including the Vessel General Permit (VGP) for vessel discharges and NPDES permits for shoreside operations. As a harbour handling bio-refinery products, it manages cargo types such as liquid bulk chemicals and biofuels, requiring specialized stormwater and oil-water management systems. Located on the Columbia River, the facility plays a significant role in the regional supply chain for renewable fuels and chemicals. Its proximity to sensitive coastal habitats necessitates robust environmental management practices to minimize ecological impact.

The facility is situated on the Columbia River, a major waterway that supports diverse aquatic ecosystems. Handling bio-refinery products involves risks such as chemical spills and stormwater runoff. The facility must implement effective oil-water separation and spill containment measures to protect local water quality and habitats.
