The action comes as the 7.8 million mt/year Jordan Cove LNG project planned for Coos Bay, Oregon, recently paused development, including the related Pacific Connector feedgas pipeline, in order to assess the impact of recent regulatory hurdles.
If built, the project would be the first liquefaction facility on the US West Coast, benefiting from a shorter shipping distance to East Asia compared with existing terminals on the Gulf Coast. But Pembina, and the original developer of the project that it later acquired, Veresen, encountered significant challenges over the last eight years in securing regulatory permits and commercial agreements to be able to sanction construction.

(Portland, Oregon) – Equally important to tourism and local economies as the beaches, Oregon coast’s forests require even more careful planning in the face of various changes, including climate change itself.
To that end, the Oregon coast group Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition presents an online panel discussion on forestry practices in the coastal region on Thursday, April 29, at 6 p.m.
“The Impact of Forestry Practices on Coastal Communities and Environments” is free and open to the public. The event is part of Oregon Shores’ year-long celebration of the organization’s 50th anniversary.

The one upbeat bit of beach news is that the tunnel at Oceanside is back open. Without fanfare or announcement, sometime recently Oregon Stat Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) managed to clear the landslide debris, which occurred on December 6.
The rockslide briefly endangered several people who were on the other side, trapping as many as 12 in that semi-secretive cove.
Large chunks of rocks reportedly began falling shortly before 11 a.m. that day, and then the big deluge came, caught on video and posted by the Netarts-Oceanside Fire District. The noise was incredibly loud, say witnesses.
