A public hearing on the consolidated land-use application from Oregon LNG for a proposed natural gas pipeline has been rescheduled to June 10.
The hearing will begin at 1 p.m. at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St., Astoria, before Hearings Officer Peter Livingston.
Oregon LNG/Oregon Pipeline LLC has applied to Clatsop County to install 41 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline serving its proposed liquefied natural gas terminal at the Skipanon Peninsula in Warrenton.
The pipeline route runs in a generally southeasterly direction from Warrenton. The proposed pipeline is 121 miles long overall and would connect to a natural gas hub in Molalla. The terminal project itself is within the city limits of Warrenton and is not part of the pipeline land-use application.
The proposed pipeline route through Clatsop County crosses seven different zoning designations and three special overlay zones. Natural gas pipelines are allowed in those zones as outright permitted uses or conditional uses.
The entire application and accompanying documents are available on the Clatsop County website, www.co.clatsop.or.us. The application file can also be viewed at the Transportation and Development Services office, 800 Exchange St., Suite 100 during normal business hours.
The planning office will accept written testimony on the application until 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 9. Comments may be faxed to (503) 338-3666, emailed to comdev@co.clatsop.or.us or mailed to the Clatsop County Transportation and Development Services Department, 800 Exchange St., Suite 100, Astoria OR 97103.
