Bradwood dealt triple permit blow
LNG company told water quality permit will likely be deniedBy CASSANDRA PROFITA
The Daily Astorian
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has rebuffed three "demands" from the Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas project developer and warned that a key water quality permit will likely be denied.
DEQ's Director Dick Pedersen told Northern Star Natural Gas Inc. in a Feb. 17 letter that the company still has not provided three-dimensional modeling of the LNG terminal's water-quality impacts, even though the state has been requesting the data since 2007.
The modeling data are "essential" to DEQ's permitting decision, he wrote, as they provide "biologically meaningful information" for the state's evaluation of the $650 million development, proposed for a site on the Columbia River 25 miles east of Astoria
