Bradwood Landing developer NorthernStar Natural Gas is facing criticism for a recently distributed brochure, which contains a map omitting certain islands LNG vessels would pass on their way to the proposed facility. The brochures “do not reflect the dangers of the sandbars and islands in the river that these ships have to negotiate,” a Longview, Wash., resident said. NorthernStar maintains that the brochure was drafted to demonstrate the company’s commitment to preserving the local salmon population. Joe Desmond, NorthernStar’s senior vice president for external affairs said it “was not designed as an engineering document.” The Daily News (Longview, Wash.) has further details.
