The compressor station is not subject to permitting re- quirements. In addition to traveling near Vernonia, the route of the pipeline trav- els directly over the Four County Point, just off Highway 26 in the Tillamook State Forest. This spot, where Colum- bia, Clatsop, Tillamook and Washing- ton Counties meet, is the only place in Oregon where four counties touch. Wayne Auble from the Tillamook State Forest says the Forest Service has to approve easements for utilities in their jurisdiction if environmental permit re- quirements are met and make route sug- gestions, as well as work to assure the best possible mitigation if state lands are compromised during the construc- tion process. The route of the pipeline ap- pears to stay north and east of Saddle Mountain State Park and stays south of Camp Wilkerson County Park. Safety could be a concern for anyone located near the pipeline. Wiki- pedia provides a list of worldwide pipe- line explosions dating back to 1962, including four in the United States dur- ing 2014. The most serious incident occurred on July 30, 2004 at Ghisleng- hien, Belgium, near Ath (50 kilometers southwest of Brussels), which killed 24 people and left 122 wounded. There would be a 100 foot tem- porary (and sometimes more) construc- tion easement and a fifty foot perma- nent easement. Within the permanent easement, no trees greater than 15 feet in height are allowed. The pipeline will be three to five feet deep in most loca- tions, deeper under the horizontally drilled stream crossings. The OLNG website contains a stakeholders list from 2008. No one from Vernonia is included on this list, even though it has stakeholders from places like Banks and Gaston. To view the public notice and information on how to comment, go to www.OregonLNG.com.
