UPCOMING EVENTS concerning our estuary as a conduit for fossil fuel exports:
Coal, Oil, and Gas, Oh My!
Lower Columbia River Community Conversation
Wednesday, March 13th
6:00 - 7:30
Skamokawa Grange
16 Fairgrounds Road, Skamokawa, WA
(take the 5:15 pm ferry from Westport)
The Columbia River faces unprecedented new proposals to export coal, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and crude oil to Asia. How will the new pipelines, trains, and tankers impact the estuary? Current plans could make the Columbia River the nation's largest exporter of coal, LNG, and oil.
This evening event will feature presentations on Columbia River water quality and new limits on toxic pollution as well as issues surrounding the use of the Columbia River as a fossil fuel highway. There will also be a moderated, open-forum discussion about local concerns and practical solutions.

The barges would take coal from a train-fed terminal at the Port of Morrow near Boardman to Port Westward near Clatskanie for loading onto sea-going ships.
Oregon state agencies are currently reviewing permits for Ambre Energy's coal export plan. The Oregon Department of State Lands has set April 1, 2013 as a decision date for their agency - they need to hear from us now!
