January Events 2013
Join us in the Estuary:
Visit the Lower Columbia River and Learn About Oregon LNG's Export Proposal
On Saturday, January 12th, you are invited to join a tour of the area impacted by the proposed Oregon LNG project. Jim Scheller, who chairs the Skipanon Watershed Council and the Warrenton Trails Association, will help to lead the tour and explain efforts to restore salmon habitat and wetlands in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Oregon LNG project.
For the first time, the State of Oregon and U.S. EPA directly linked LNG exports to increased "fracking" in inland gas producing regions. Previously in October, activists from throughout the region packed a standing room-only hearing in Warrenton, and urged FERC to reject Oregon LNG's export proposal.
Dan Serres, Conservation Director for Columbia Riverkeeper will be on hand to explain the OR LNG plans to dredge over 1 million cubic yards of critical salmon habitat, cross hundreds of streams and wetlands for its connected pipelines, and threaten the public safety of Warrenton and Astoria to ship North American natural gas to Asia.
Join us to learn more about this project and how we can work together to stop it!
What: Tour of area impacted by the proposed Oregon LNG project. We'll gather at a local home to share food and warm drinks afterwards.
When: Saturday, January 12th.
11:00 am - meet in parking lot at Premarq Center
1:30 pm – potluck lunch in Astoria (details to follow)
Where: Warrenton, Oregon, we'll meet at the Premarq Center:
Directions from upstream:
Coming from Astoria on Hwy 30, go West toward Warrenton
Cross the Youngs Bay Bridge
Take the FIRST right (before the stoplight)
Turn into the Premark Center, (location of Aaron's, Radio Shack, etc.)
Park in the lot at the east end, near the Espresso stand
Why: Oregon LNG's proposal to construct a terminal and pipeline for LNG export is a bad idea, and we can stop the project from going forward. It's best to see the area with your own eyes.
Need: Good walking shoes or boots and rain gear, something for the potluck to follow.
Who: YOU! And your friends and neighbors.
This is a beautiful site with incredible views of the Columbia River, both up and downstream. This event comes w my personal guarantee as worth your time!!
