Palomar Pipeline
Taken from BARK website: www.bark-out.org
Although, the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) battles have been mostly fought out on the coast of Oregon, we have seen the issue come to roost in Mt.Hood National Forest. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is currently going through NEPA process to allow Palomar Gas Transmission (PGT), a company who transports natural gas, to place a pipeline from the Columbia River where the LNG Terminals are proposed down through Molalla and across the national forest to meet up in Madras with existing pipeline.
This proposal would include a clearcut corridor for the pipeline, as well as new road construction for access to the pipeline. The corridor would cross Fish Creek, the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River. These are key watersheds that include already compromised older forests. The corridor would amount to an approx. 720-acre clearcut, through popular recreation areas, across hiking trails (such as the Pacific Crest Trail) and across two proposed off-highway vehicle designated areas.
If you would like to communicate with the Forest Service contact on the Palomar project, write, email or call

Please support BARK and help prevent clear cutting in Oregon.
