Newspaper Page TextA2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2019 Lawmakers vote to cut ‘kicker’ tax rebate by $108 million Jordan Cove project clears big hurdle Controversial LNG plant in Coos Bay By LIAM MORIARTY Jefferson Public Radio Federal regulators have issued a review of a pro- posed natural gas pipe- line and export terminal in southern Oregon that, while somewhat favorable for its developers, is being blasted as highly inade- quate by opponents. A draft environmental impact statement released Friday lists more than 130 conditions the Jordan Cove Energy Project would have to meet to minimize its negative effects. As long as those conditions are observed, the report says, the project would not have signiﬁ cant environmental impact. The Jordan Cove proj- ect would pipe natural gas from Klamath County near the California border, more than 200 miles to a new liq- ueﬁ ed natural gas export facility in Coos Bay . Jordan Cove’s Tasha Cadotte said the company is conﬁ dent it will meet the approval criteria set by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. “We are committed to protecting the environment and meeting all of state and federal requirements,” she said. “We will continue to work with landowners and communities on the import- ant issues to them.” Cadotte said her com- pany pledges to be a good neighbor. But many Ore- gonians have been skepti- cal. The proposed pipeline extension and LNG facility have faced years of ﬁ erce opposition from commu- nity groups, tribes and landowners. This is the third time project backers have tried to get approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Allie Rosen- bluth, with the environ- mental group Rogue Cli- mate, says the third time should deﬁ nitely not be the charm. “This project has been denied twice by the Federal Energy Regulatory Com- mission,” she said. “And it’s very clear that this proj- ect still impacts our water- sheds, our forests and our climate, and that it should be denied again.” A public comment period extends to July 5 and public hearings are expected to be scheduled this spring. Pembina, the Canadi- an-owned company behind the Jordan Cove proj- ect, hopes to make a ﬁ nal investment decision on the project by next January. Associated Press SALEM — Oregon’s pro- jected “kicker” tax rebate will decrease by $108 million under a bill passed by Demo- crats in the state Senate.
