State deals another blow to Jordan Cove project By LIAM MORIARTY Jeff erson Public Radio The proposed Jordan Cove Energy Project in southwest Oregon was dealt another setback this week when a pair of local permits were over- turned by the state land use board. On Tuesday, the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals reversed a pair of key permits, one issued by Coos County, the other by Coos Bay. Between them, the permits cleared the way for expanded dredging and other site preparation in the Coos Bay estuary. That work is required for the planned liquifi ed natural gas export terminal proposed by the Canadian energy fi rm Pembina. The permits were challenged by conservation groups and tribes, who claimed the permits were illegally issued. The appeals board agreed, and — in an unusual move — reversed both permits outright, rather than send them back to the city and the county for reconsideration. This is the latest in a string of fail- ures by Pembina to get key permits and authorizations at the state, and A rendering of the proposed Jordan Cove liquefi ed natural gas terminal in Coos Bay. now, the local level, for the contro- versial project. The decision also comes less than two weeks after Pembina said in a federal appeals court fi ling in Wash- ington, D.C., that it was “pausing” the liquefi ed natural gas project and the associated 229-mile-long pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a permit to Jor- dan Cove in March 2020 . Conserva- tion groups, tribes and landowners along the pipeline route appealed that decision. As part of a fi ling in that appeal, the company said it had “decided to pause the development of the Jordan Cove Liquefi ed Natural Gas Project while (we) assess the impact of recent regulatory decisions involving denial of permits or authorizations neces- sary for the Project to move forward.” Pembina representatives said in a statement that, while the company “continue(s) to believe in the strate- gic rationale of Jordan Cove,” it has “paused” the project “in light of cur- rent regulatory and political uncer- tainty ...” Jeff erson Public Radio’s Erik Neu- mann contributed to this report. #1 REALTOR In Clatsop County, for Sales Volume in 2020!
