COAL FIRED PLANT
want a little com
mon sense (in the process),”
he said. “Now is not the
time to dig that hole deeper
in Oregon,” Smith said on
the negative impact the clo
sure will have on Oregon’s
struggling economy.
U m atilla Electric
Co-Op General M anager
Steve Eldrige said the co-op
has not taken a position on
which option PGE should
take on the coal plant, but
did offer som e inform a
tion.
The coal plant of
fers 585 mega watts o f firm
power and is on line and
available 95 percent o f the
time, he said. He said wind
will not replace that type
of firm power, and neither
will gas in the near future.
The plant produces about
15 percent o f the power
provided by PGE, Oregon’s
largest electric utility.
Travis Eri, presi
dent o f the Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, AFL-
CIO, that represents 80 of
the workers at the plant,
told the commission that the
economy is in dire straights
and we need to let the econ
omy stabilize before taking
action that would lose jobs.
He said ways can be devel
oped to bum coal with less
pollution given the time.
Several people did testify
that the plant should be used
to find new ways of burning
coal and also alternative
fuels.
“Why can’t we use
the plant to test new ways of
reducing em issions,” said
Port o f M orrow General
Manager Gary Neal. “Let
it become a template to test
new technologies,” he sug
gested, and urged the com
mission to make the right
decision for “rate payers
and the Oregon economy.”
Neal said the plant pays 20
percent, or about $2.8 mil
lion, o f the Morrow County
property taxes and has a
total $50 m illion im pact
on the surrounding area
economy.

w ant to give up all the
good things in our lives,”
she said.
Q uite a few em
ployees o f the coal plant
also testified at the meet
ing.
One worker named
David Richards, who said
he was a graduate of River
side High School and OSU,
urged the commission not
to make a decision based
on politics. “This plant pro
duces the cheapest energy
in the state and the envi
ronmentalists want to shut
down the only coal plant in
the state,” he said.
Don C h a lfa n t o f
Hermiston said he spent 20
years in the Navy before
coming to work at the coal
plant. “I am tired of mov
ing. Don’t take my job,” he
implored the commission.
He said he is not able to
buy a car now because he
doesn’t know for how long
he will have a job. “You
have the power to take my
jo b ,” he told commission
members.
Another unidenti
fied worker says he was a
boiler maker who was an
apprentice when the plant
was built in 1980 and he
worked on the construction.
He said since then he has
traveled all over and the
Boardman Coal fired plant
is one o f the cleanest plants
in the country. He said with

anyone want to shut down

He said the Boardman plant
could be the cleanest plant
around if it were given a
chance.
