The following is a press release from nocaliforniapipeline.com:HEARINGS OFFICER Suggests COOS COUNTY COMMISSION DENIES PORT Allow FOR LNG SLIPIn a just introduced letter to the Coos County Commission, Hearings Officer Anne Corcoran Briggs has encouraged that the Commission deny the Worldwide Port of Coos Bay's program for a conditional use permit to dredge out a 45 acre slip in the North Spit of Coos Bay for docking 900-foot extended tanker ships at a large liquefied pure fuel final. Briggs, who was hired by Coos County to examine the allow app submitted by the Port, wrote that her denial advice was dependent on the applicant "not demonstrating that all applicable approval specifications have been satisfied."Precisely, Briggs wrote she "agreed with opponents that the applicant has not satisfactorily quantified the advantages to the general public that justify the progress of the maritime terminal as proposed.""The applicant relies on economic research that show the proposal, when put together with the LNG services, will deliver an economic advantage to the county. Nonetheless, neither the impacts nor the positive aspects to be derived from the proposed port slip have been independently quantified.""The simple fact that the proposed slip will bring in some generic economic rewards more than an unspecified timeframe is not enough to present that there is a need for this final configuration," Briggs continued.
