Ecology appeals FERC decision on Bradwood Landing license issue to Ninth Circuit Court
OLYMPIA – Citing the Clean Water Act and the inadequacy of a federal environmental review, the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) today asked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a federal agency's premature decision to license an energy project along the Columbia River.
If Ecology's challenge is successful, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will have to reconsider its September 2008 decision to approve the proposed Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas project. The terminal is slated to be built in Oregon with the natural gas pipeline extending across the Columbia and through Cowlitz County.
