Oregon Denies Morrow Pacific Terminal Application
The Oregon Department of State Lands
(DSL) has rejected a critical permit for
Ambre Energy’s planned Morrow Pacific
coal export terminal. State officials
recently confirmed the denial of the project’s removal fill permit after a series of
eight delays. Morrow Pacific, also known
as the Coyote Island Terminal, was the
most advanced in the planning stages of
three planned U.S. exporting facilities in
the Pacific Northwest.
Morrow Pacific Project President and
CEO Clark Moseley said in a statement
that the DSL denied its permit “based on
political pressure from a vocal minority.”
