Submit a “Legal Objection” to the US Forest Service by Jan. 5, 2020
The Forest Service is proposing to hand over 30 miles of public forests to a fracked gas export company in order to facilitate pipeline construction across public lands. One of the necessary approvals for the Jordan Cove LNG Pipeline is to exempt the project from Forest Service land use plans for the areas of the pipeline crossing National Forests. Because the forest removal and pipeline construction violate so many provisions of the Forest Service’s management plan, they are proposing to throw out the rulebook to expedite fossil fuel export through these public lands.
