THE JORDAN COVE ENERGY PROJECT

JCEP currently owned by Pembina (a Canadian based company) is seeking applications from local, state, and federal agencies to build a 229 mile pipeline across the state of Oregon from Maulin near the SE corner to a proposed LNG export terminal on the bay in Coos Bay.  The 36" diameter pipeline with booster stations would be buried along a 95 ft. construction easement across mountains and ridges, under rivers and streams taking public as well as private lands with Eminent Domain to end up in Coos Bay. 

From there the company plans to use horizontal directional drilling to drill under the bay at a depth of 190 ft. from the upper reaches of the bay to the town of North Bend where the pipeline will come up from under the bay and traverse above ground under the McCullough Bridge (main artery of transportation north & south on the Oregon coast), then back under the bay to the proposed export terminal.  All this to export LNG to Asian markets and make a personal profit.

 The links below will further explain what this project is about and why we oppose it: 

•  Public Comments - to local agencies, and the 4 Leagues that joined forces to oppose the project that will adversely affect all four counties. 

• Informational Forum - January 31st - Coos Bay Environment & Our Community - what this project will look like.  Unfortunately the web broadcast of the forum in its entirety can no longer be viewed as it has been taken down.  LWVCC did not have their own recording capabilities at the time and therefore do not have a copy of the broadcast.  However, all of the Individual Power Points and Presentations can be viewed on the January 31st link above.

• Informational Forum - April 18th - Safety & Economic Concerns for Local Communities - A web broadcast of this forum can no longer be viewed as above.  However, the Individual Power Points and Presentations can be viewed on the April 18th link above.
