Ambre Energy proposes a coal export terminal at the Port of Morrow in Boardman. The Coyote Island Terminal is a coal export project that would bring up to 8.8 million tons of coal a year by train from Montana and/or Wyoming to Boardman. The company would store the coal in covered storage buildings at the Port of Morrow before transferring it to barges using an enclosed conveyor system. The barges would then take the coal down the Columbia River to Port Westward in Clatskanie, where crews would transfer it onto ocean-going ships bound for Asia.
OregonDEQ will hold hearings 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Blue Mountain Community College, 975 SE Columbia Drive in Hermiston and at the Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Portland.
Testimony can be submitted online at www.oregon.gov/DEQ/Pages/CoalExport.aspx
