Bradwood site visit Sept 12th
excerpted from The Daily Astorian
A public site visit of the proposed Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas terminal location will be held Sept. 12. Those interested in attending the site visit should meet at 11 a.m. on Clifton Road just past the intersection with U.S. Highway 30.
Representatives from Northern Star Natural Gas will be attending the visit along with engineers with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Office of Energy Projects. The FERC engineers are touring the Bradwood site on Sept. 12, prior to a cryogenic design and technical conference Sept. 13 at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel in Portland.
The conference will not be open to the public because of the "nature of critical energy infrastructure information and security issues to be explored," according to a recent filing by FERC. However, people that have formally intervened in the Bradwood Landing LNG case may register to attend the conference by contacting Terry Turpin by phone at (202) 502-8558 or by e-mail at (terry.turpin@ferc.gov)
Please plan on attending this site tour if you can. It's important that we continue to show Northern Star that the people who live here do not want their heavy industrial site on our beautiful river. Wear your red t-shirts and buttons and help protect our treasured lower Columbia River.

Comments
The site visit was an eye opener. Never realized how close Puget Island was to the site to say nothing about the islands of the JBH National Wildlife Refuge. About 50 people were in attendence. Most people found that the FERC engineers and NRG group personnel were interested in community comment. The same could not be said for No Star reps and their supporting cast. One interesting interlude included a discussion with Don Fell candidate for OR State
Senate - District 16. The conversation was mainly about studies Mr. Fell completed for NStar as well as his opinion of the Sandia Report. Evidently Mr. Fell wore a hat and button or something with NorthernStar on them and voiced his support of lng
in the area. He also told us that he was a friend of Brian Baird and that Brian was all for the lng terminal projects. The next day I called Brian Baird's staff in Vancouver and they did not know Mr. Fell and stated that he did not speak for Brian Baird. They also stated that Brian Baird was not in favor of these lng facilities.
