Join the "No LNG Exports Campaign" on Monday July 9th in Medford, OR to write comments to stop the proposed Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline and Jordan Cove LNG export terminal!

When: Monday July 9th, 6-8 PM
Where: Large Conference Room at the Medford Community Library, 205 South Central Avenue, Medford, OR 97501
What: On May 22nd, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the US Army Corps opened a 60-day public comment period for a critical permit that, if denied, could stop the proposed Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline.

Oregon DEQ is responsible for deciding whether this massive fracked gas pipeline and export terminal would negatively impact the clean water in Oregon. Federal regulators cannot approve the project if the DEQ decides that the project does not comply with Oregon’s water quality standards. Fracked gas pipelines in Oregon, Maryland, and New York were stopped because state agencies denied this permit.

For the next two months, it’s up to all of us to submit comments that demonstrate that the impacts of this project would be far too devastating for the health and safety of our communities, clean water, and the local economy.

BEFORE THE WORKSHOP: Call DEQ to ask for a longer public comment period in our communities!

DEQ has only given our communities 60-days to write comments about how this project would impact Oregon. Can you call Richard Whitman, the Director of DEQ, at (503) 229-5696, to ask for an extension of the public comment period for Jordan Cove’s Clean Water Act certification to 120-days?
