Oregon’s only remaining coal export terminal proposal has been dealt another blow. Ambre Energy once again failed to deliver the requested information to Oregon’s Department of State Lands (DSL) and was forced to ask for a six month extension. Ambre now has until April 30, 2014 to fully respond to the agency’s permitting questions. Ambre Energy is seeking a removal/fill permit with DSL to construct a dock at the Port of Morrow in Boardman, Oregon where the company plans to transfer coal from trains onto barges for export. This is the sixth permit extension DSL has granted Ambre Energy.

Citizens throughout the Northwest would be impacted by Ambre Energy’s Morrow Pacific coal export project. Tens of thousands from across the region have weighed in during critical comment periods and there have been several rallies at the DSL office in Salem, Oregon. We are calling on Oregon’s Governor Kitzhaber and the Department of State Lands to deny the permit for Ambre’s coal export project.
