Tussles

Local Issues Simmer in Two Oregon LNG Siting Projects

Local tussles continued into the new year with the ongoing comments and reactions to a draft environmental review of NorthernStar Natural Gas’s proposed Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal along the Columbia River in Oregon. Local county and FERC officials traded comments over the holiday period focusing on some third parties that are part of the debate, and FERC said late in December it was concerned about a potential conflict of interest by an environmental contractor that is working on both Bradwood and a related interstate gas pipeline project.
