4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MAY 14, 2018 Terminal: Project has faced a series of setbacks Continued from Page 1A Tara Lee, a spokeswoman for Gov. Jay Inslee, said Thurs- day the state doesn’t comment on pending litigation but “we are confident that the state’s position is solid.” Inslee, a Democrat, has made climate change a key issue and has pushed to move the state away from coal toward renewable resources. “We remain focused on defending our decision. We are confident that it will con- tinue to stand up because it’s based on Washington state law,” a Department of Ecol- ogy spokesman said Friday. Earlier this month, the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration, the National Associ- ation of Manufacturers, the National Mining Association and the American Fuel & Pet- rochemical Manufacturers also filed a joint brief backing the project developers. “The interest and filing by these states and trade groups reinforces our position that this case is about much more than a single company and a single commodity,” Light- house Resources said in a statement Friday. “The broad support for our case demon- strates that Washington State’s actions threaten funda- mental principles and protec- tions established in the consti- tution’s Commerce Clause.” BNSF Railway and five environmental groups that oppose the terminal have also intervened on opposing sides of the lawsuit. Kristen Boyles, an attor- ney with Earthjustice repre- senting environmental groups including the Washington Environmental Council and Columbia Riverkeeper, said “there’s no vast conspiracy here.” “Different agencies denied permits to build one coal terminal that has harmful (impacts). That’s not a war on coal or a war on the economy. Millennium wants to blow this up to something that is enormous,” she said. The project has faced a series of regulatory and other setbacks, including last fall when the Washington Ecology Department denied the project a key water permit. In a court filing, lawyers for Washington state have asked the federal judge to dis- miss many of the claims and abstain on other claims while multiple suits are pending in state courts.
