Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     As a result of Governor Pat McCrory's actions and collaboration with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, fleets of gasoline tanker trucks from outside North Carolina have arrived and are making deliveries across the state beginning today.

    "I am continuing to work with our emergency management team to closely monitor the situation in Alabama," said Governor McCrory. "I will continue to take every measure that is needed to minimize the impact of this disruption on North Carolina."

    Governor McCrory signed an executive order to waive certain state requirements and had an additional waiver approved by the state agriculture department to allow tanker trucks from outside the state to move more gasoline supplies into North Carolina.

    "This waiver will allow for an increase in our gas supply that should not affect the quality or safety of fuel," said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. "Gasoline products from northern states, which previously could not be sold in our state, can now be used at our pumps. What we are allowing is our winter fuel supply, which has different vapor pressure and normally is allowed for sale beginning in December, to be sold now."

    The Colonial Pipeline fire is still burning and the site remains inaccessible. The company anticipates being able to assess the damage tomorrow and provide a timeline for when the pipeline may be restored.
