Narrative:

Improper and confusing taxiway markings not indicated on airport chart 10-9 dated sept/22/95. 2 problems: chart shows old CAT ii holding line on taxiway B at approach end of runway 10R. The new, current ILS hold short line, now on taxiway B1, is not shown. Secondly, the old CAT ii hold line has not been completely removed from the taxiway. Pdx-bur. We taxied via taxiway B to runway 10R and ground control instructed us to hold short of the CAT ii hold line. We stopped where it is indicated on the chart and ground control said that the line had been moved closer to the runway. We taxied forward without knowing just where the new line was. WX by XX00Z ATIS: W1 overcast 1/8 F. RVR was varying around 1000 ft. This is not a time, place, or WX to have confusing and inconsistent taxiway markings, 10-9 chart, and instructions from ground control, while CAT III approachs are being used.
