These agreements highlight significant progress forward for the Jordan Cove Project, as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) hosts public hearings this week on the Project’s draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Jordan Cove Project is pleased to announce that we have signed voluntary easements with 82% of private landowners along the proposed pipeline route, which will allow the pipeline to cross beneath these properties. “This 82% is more than just a number. It represents a tremendous measure of progress forward for Jordan Cove,” said Harry Andersen, Senior Vice President for Pembina Pipeline Corporation, the parent company of Jordan Cove. “This achievement reflects that a vast majority of the most impacted residents in southern Oregon are onboard with the Project and will help to make it a reality.” When Pembina became owner of Jordan Cove in 2017, the Project had secured voluntary easement agreements with 20% of landowners along the pipeline route. Since then, Jordan Cove has made remarkable strides, securing more than four times that in a single year, a testament to the company’s commitment to working directly with landowners and building long-term relationships in southern Oregon. “We value the conversations we have had with landowners about the Project and the trust they put in us to be thoughtful stewards of something as important as their family’s land,” said Andersen. “This achievement level means that a strong majority of these families have sat down with our team, had honest conversations and learned that our ultimate goal is to create an investment that nets substantial benefits for their neighbors and their community and their state, while respecting and protecting their land.” “My property is important to me, I work hard to maintain and improve it,” said Douglas County landowner, Dean Bright. “I trust Pembina to work with me, respect my needs and leave it better after they do their work.” As the Project continues to make progress through the regulatory and permitting approvals, this 82% level of landowners moves Jordan Cove significantly closer to securing 100% of easements through voluntary agreements. This achievement confirms that the quiet majority of citizens in southern Oregon support the Jordan Cove Project.
