SALEM, Ore. – Oregon Department of State Lands Director Vicki Walker last week approved extending the deadline for the Removal-Fill permit decision on the Jordan Cove LNG application to Jan. 31, 2020, based on a Sept. 13 letter from the applicant requesting the extension. The agency had been scheduled to decide on the permit on Sept. 20, 2019. Jordan Cove LNG also agreed to submit by Oct. 20 a second set of responses to questions surrounding substantive and technical issues that are not yet resolved. On Sept. 4, DSL received and is reviewing the applicant’s first set of responses. This request represents the second extension given by DSL on this application (File 60697-RF), the first being given on March 5.
