Jordan Cove Removal-Fill Permit, Jan. 15

The Oregon Department of State Lands is now accepting comment on the Jordan Cove Energy Project removal-fill permit application. Oregon’s removal-fill law requires projects that remove or fill material in wetlands or waterways to obtain a permit from the Department of State Lands (DSL). The Jordan Cove removal-fill permit application is for three elements of the project: the liquefied natural gas (LNG) slip and access channel, the LNG terminal, and the natural gas pipeline. A 60-day public review and comment period ends Feb. 3, 2019, at 5 p.m. DSL is holding one last public hearings, of five, to hear comment on the application:  Tuesday, Jan. 15 from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Department of State Lands, Land Board Room, 775 Summer St NE, Salem, Ore. Comments may also be submitted online, by email, or by postal mail. Comment submittal information is available on the DSL website. Comments must be received by 5 p.m. on Feb. 3, 2019, to be considered. The complete application is also available for download on the DSL website. Paper copies of the application are available at the Coos Bay Public Library.
