Concerns about the estuary at the proposed Bradwood LNG site

This is an excerpt from a letter to The Daily Astorian, published today (11.24.06)

"...the zoning does not permit dredging of 55 acres of estuary used as prime salmon habitat. This has been a bone of contention for quite some time between Northern Star and Clatsop County. Kathleen Sellman, the Clatsop County Community Development director, stated in a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on March 29, "Of particular concern is the proposed dredging activity within the AC-2 zone. Note: Dredging is not a permitted, conditional or review use in this zone. In other words, the site is not zoned appropriately for the proposed use."
