The Overview Of What Bradwood Will Be

The Bradwood Landing LNG Project
would include the construction and
operation of an LNG import terminal
about 38 miles up the Columbia River
from its mouth, at the location of the
former lumber mill and town of
Bradwood, in Clatsop County, Oregon.
Elements of the LNG terminal include:
• A dredged maneuvering area in the
Columbia River adjacent to the existing
navigation channel maintained by the
COE;
• A single berth capable of handling
LNG carriers ranging in capacity from
100,000 to 200,000 cubic meters (m3);
• A set of four 16-inch-diameter
unloading arms on the wharf, and a
1,240-foot-long cryogenic transfer
pipeline from the wharf to the LNG
storage tanks;
• Two full-containment LNG storage
tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000
m3; and
• A set of seven submerged
combustion vaporizers to re-gasify LNG
to natural gas, with a capacity to send
out 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas
per day.
The EIS also addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
associated natural gas sendout pipeline
between the Bradwood Landing LNG
terminal and an interconnection with
the existing Williams Northwest
Pipeline Corporation (Williams
Northwest) interstate system near Kelso,

Washington. The pipeline facilities
would include:
• A 36.3-mile-long, underground,
high-pressure welded steel pipeline,
consisting of 18.9 miles of 36-inchdiameter
pipeline in Clatsop and
Columbia Counties, Oregon, and 17.4
miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline in
Cowlitz County, Washington;
• Five meter stations, including one
at the LNG terminal, at the Georgia-
Pacific Wauna paper mill delivery
point, the interconnection with the
existing Northwest Natural Gas
Company intrastate system, the Portland
General Electric Company Beaver power
plant delivery point, and the Williams
Northwest interconnection; and
• At least five mainline block valves,
two pig 1 launchers, 1 receivers
