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.

Kondayen declined to say
whether Brown plans to sign
the measure.
In February, economists
predicted the kicker could
reach $748.5 million. It rep-
resents the amount of taxes
