Co. to try again on Oregon gas pipeline after 2 denials

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — The company that wants to build a natural gas pipeline in southern Oregon will file a new application with federal regulators, even though they have been denied a permit twice.

Jordan Cove LNG told The Mail Tribune on Friday (http://bit.ly/2hXV0cG) that it will seek to work more closely with landowners who would see the pipeline cross their land.

The Pacific Connector Pipeline would cut through Jackson County on its way to a proposed export facility north of Coos Bay.

It would carry natural gas from Canada, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah to Oregon for export to Asia and tie into a network of existing gas pipelines.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected the company’s application in March and upheld that decision last week.
