FERC: Limited impact from Oregon LNG

A federal agency says a proposed liquefied natural gas project near the mouth of the Columbia River would have “limited significant environmental impacts,” and the company should take 98 additional measures to offset them.

The assessment comes from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in a draft environmental impact statement released Aug. 17 for the Bradwood Landing facility 20 miles upstream of Astoria.

The 600-page document is part of the analysis required before the commission could authorize a terminal.

Bradwood Landing is proposed by NorthernStar Natural Gas Co., one of five companies pursuing LNG projects in Oregon and the farthest along in the federal approval process.
