CLATSOP COMMISSIONERS CONTINUE PIPELINE APPEALS HEARING TO OCT. 27

The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners will continue Wednesday’s public hearing on two appeals filed against the Oregon Pipeline LLC land use application to its next regular meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 27.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St., Astoria.

Oregon Pipeline, LLC has applied for conditional use permits and other approvals to build 41 miles of natural gas pipeline to serve the proposed liquefied natural gas terminal at the Skipanon Peninsula in Warrenton. On Aug. 23 a hearings officer approved the application with conditions, but both the applicant and project opponents led by Columbia Riverkeeper appealed the decision.

The board of commissioners elected to hold a public hearing on the appeals but limit testimony to information not reasonably available during the hearings officer’s review.

The entire record for the application, including appeals documents, is available on the Clatsop County website, www.co.clatsop.or.us under “Oregon LNG.”
