The Forest Service has opened a public comment period for the Palomar Pipeline until February 4, 2009. Because the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is the lead agency, this may be the public’s only opportunity to voice our concerns to local land managers about the impacts to Mt. Hood National Forest. The Palomar Pipeline is a proposed 210-mile pipeline connecting proposed importing terminals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) to an existing pipeline in eastern Oregon. Forty-seven miles of the pipeline would cross through Mt. Hood National Forest. You can read the scoping letter and find more resources by clicking here.
PLEASE JOIN US FOR A RALLY IN SALEM ON JANUARY 13th TO SAY "NO LNG!"

What is Orange Alert?
Orange Alert is intended to raise awareness about the proposed Palomar LNG pipeline corridor through Mt. Hood National Forest. The forests behind the orange strip of fabric are slated to be permanently clearcut. In June 2008, staff and volunteers from the Portland-based forest watch group, Bark, hiked the 40-mile segment of the pipeline crossing through Mt. Hood National Forest over two weeks. The original entries are pieces of writing from a longer narrative of the walk. You can learn more about Bark's campaign to stop the Palomar proposal at www.bark-out.org.
