Within the next month, the LNG Public Protection Act will be introduced in Oregon’s legislature. The proposed bill would protect Oregon communities from proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals by using the clear authority that the state has over the issuance of permits for state-owned resources, such as water and land, as well as federally recognized state permitting authority under the Clean Water and Coastal Zone Management Acts. This bill would work to protect public safety and natural resources for the state of Oregon.
