After reviewing the Waterway Suitability Report, Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) has decided to oppose NorthernStar Natural Gas’ proposed terminal in Bradwood, Ore., directly across the Columbia River from his district. In a press release on his website, the Congressman identified “three main areas of great concern[]: the safety and security measures that would need to be implemented to make the Columbia River suitable for LNG and the associated negative impacts on existing river commerce; the impact on the environment; and, the effect the project would have on private property owners.” The Daily News provides local coverage.
