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.
