LNG DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS THREATEN OREGON COMMUNITIES AND ENVIRONMENT

FLOW is working on issues in Northern Oregon including our long-standing effort to protect Sand Lake from development.

Over the past six years FLOW has been working researching and organizing to prevent development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals along the Oregon Coast and inland pipeline infrastructure as well. 

This is a major development plan as several LNG terminals are being proposed for the Oregon Coast/Lower Columbia River, notably a major terminal at Jordan Cove on the North Spit of Coos Bay.  In addition, developers are proposing major (200-400 miles each, 36” pipeline) construction across Oregon in SW Oregon (from Coos Bay to Klamath Falls).
