Oregon DEQ changed the location of the December 6th coal export hearing.
Portland DEQ coal export hearing:
December 6th, 5pm Rally; 6pm Hearing
Ambridge Event Center
1333 NE MLK Jr. Blvd.
At the hearing, DEQ will present information about the coal export terminal and the three permit applications currently in review. Comments and questions will be accepted. DEQ may answer questions directly or post responses on their website, depending on the scope of the question. Sign up for comment or question will begin around 5:30 (waiting for confirmation from DEQ) and Columbia Riverkeeper and the Power Past Coal coalition will meet at 5pm for a short press conference.
The North Portland Neighborhood Associations approved a resolution asking for both and area-wide Environmental Impact Statement and a review of a Health Impact Analysis before permits for coal export were considered. DEQ is considering permits for the Morrow Pacific Project without an these important studies and without an individual EIS for this project – only a bare bones Environmental Review has been completed.

5) Free Plant Day at Cascade Campus (12/15)
Saturday, December 15
10 am – 3 pm
Bring your shovels and take FREE plants home!
To kick off construction of an underground parking garage, a new academic building and the new student center at Cascade, PCC is giving away all the plants in the existing parking lot between N. Albina St. and N. Mississippi Ave, just south of Jessup Street on Saturday, December 15.
To support this community event, Hoffman Construction, the construction manager/general contractor for the project, is hosting a FREE Bratwurst BBQ featuring local sausages with all the fixings to people taking plants home.
First come-first-serve plants will be available by self-serve excavation, so don’t forget your shovels. We will also dig up trees that can be salvaged with an excavator. All plants and trees in the lot are available, however, proper transportation must be provided by the person taking the plants. You can also reserve plants or small trees by contacting Jacob-mckay@hoffmancorp.com in advance.
