DESCRIPTION:What are some issues surrounding a potential liquified natural gas terminal 
 in Coos Bay, OR, with a pipeline until near Klamath Falls, OR (Malin)? What 
 say do people have for expressing concern about the effects of linear 
 clearcuts on the ecosystem (Klamath/Siskiyou), or if the pipeline crosses 
 their landspace near their home? Does eminent domain override community 
 dissent?  \n\nExperts will discuss what we've accomplished , what we are 
 doing and how we can work together to defeat the LNG terminal and pipeline 
 project. Click here for the full meeting announcement.\n\nsee article for 
 details;\nhttp://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/08/14/18440709.php\n\nPlanning 
 for upcoming public hearings;\n\n8/28 and 9/17; \n\n4:00 pm \n\nCoquille

 proposed LNG pipeline;\n\n"In Southern Oregon, a new natural gas pipeline 
 project has been proposed. It would travel underground through Coos and 
 Douglas County 223 miles, to the California border south of Klamath 
 Falls.\n\nA corridor a minimum of 100' wide will have to be clearcut the 
 entire 223 miles to accommodate the machinery necessary to bury a 36" 
 natural gas pipeline. 153 miles of the pipeline corridor is planned on 
 private land, going through and near the farms and yards of thousands of 
 people. 70 miles will be on BLM and Forest Service lands. The pipeline will 
 be operated by Williams Pacific Connector Gas Operator LLC.\n\nAfter 
 construction, the pipeline will be maintained with a permanent cleared land 
 opening of 75' on private land and 50' on public land. The openings are 
 larger on private lands because the pipeline road would be permanent, 
 whereas on public land the road would be rebuilt when needed. This clearcut 
 corridor will completely sever southern Oregon forests and wildlife - there 
 will be no tree bridges allowed to cross the corridor.\n\nBuried 
 underground and under rivers with its 100' wide clearcut corridor, the 
 pipeline will leave Coos Bay and go south east. It will be located north of 
 Coquille, south of Dora and Sitkum, just north of Camas Valley, through 
 Olalla, and south of Dillard. After it crosses the South Umpqua River, it 
 will turn south and cross both forks of Myrtle Creek, travel east of Milo, 
 cross the South Umpqua River again, go over Wildcat Ridge in the Umpqua 
 National Forest, and south to Trail where it will cross the Rogue River. It 
 will eventually make its way over the Pacific Crest Trail south of Lake of 
 the Woods, and on to Klamath Falls to meet up with the California 
 pipeline.\n\nThe plan is to ship Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from other 
 countries into Coos Bay on huge tankers. The gas is "liquefied" because 
 more gas can fit on a tanker in that form. A terminal, built on the North 
 Spit of Coos Bay, would re-gasify the natural gas. The LNG terminal would 
 be a closed loop system using natural gas to reaheat the LNG, this means 
 additional CO2 emissions which contribute to the greenhouse gases. Natural 
 gas will then be piped to California via a new pipeline that goes from Coos 
 Bay to Malin, Oregon south of Klamath Falls, where it will join an existing 
 natural gas pipeline that goes into California."\n\narticle cont's
