Jordan Cove LNG pulls application for key permit The union-backed Jordan Cove Energy Project announced Jan. 24 that it was withdrawing its application for a key permit for the natural gas project. Pem- bina—the Canadian company behind the $10 billion project— wants to build a 229-mile-long pipeline to a new liquefied nat- ural gas export terminal in Coos Bay, on Oregon’s south coast. The company needs the re- moval-fill permit for dredging in Coos Bay. Pembina an- nounced the withdrawal of its removal-fill permit one day af- ter the Oregon Department of State Lands denied the com- pany’s request for an extension and indicated the permit would likely be denied. The Federal Energy Regula- tory Commission (FERC) is ex- pected to make a final determi- nation on the project next month. With a favorable FERC ruling, the company could argue that federal laws override state laws. Prior to Pembina’s pulling its permit application, on Jan. 7, la- bor unions turned out in force for a Coos Bay City Council meeting, where councilors were voting on a land-use application for dredging in the channel of Coos Bay. The City Council had hired the Lane Council of Gov- ernments (LCOG) to provide an analysis of the application and a recommendation on action. LCOG proposed denying the application. Despite that, the council voted 4-3 to approve the application.
