It has nothing to do with ownership. Any LNG project that is designed with an open loop system is bad for the fish. Close loop systems are preferred. The Oregon site is a closed loop system and the water will be exchanged filtered and cooled about once a month. But the permit process is not over, so feel free to drag your lazy ass down there and lay down in the street. I hear the River Keepers have sort of lost interest. Seems Walmart is a bigger threat. Perhaps worth more in donations too. Looks like a lot of new jobs in the neighborhood between the LNG and the Gas fired Electrical plant, nearby. Oh, 59 million dollars over 40 years of operation, for salmon is nothing to sneeze at. With all the new power, perhaps you can tear down one of those dams afterall.

I read your other post about the ship having to take on ballast water. Well, Im not familiar with shipping. But the ships will be importing Gas to be transferred to the pipelines at the Oregon site. Export of LNG is not allowed. Federal law has many requirements of ballast water, due to the aquatic life contained. It will not be dumping ballast water anywhere near the columbia.

Had you bothered to call, you would know this. The article about Grampa Foundren and Walter and Bush is not exactly newsworthy. Your lack of knowledge about cca coming here, is just as boring. Loomis went to Houston and persuaded them to SUPPORT the People in Washington and Oregon who would form CCA chapters. They have the model. We do everything else.
If you had bothered to call, you would know that too.

Just because cca did not sue over dams, doesnt mean they are not a problem. The harvest problem on the Columbia began in 1866. We raise our own money and volunteer our own labor. If you want to go fight the dams for another decade or two, knock your self out. You dont get to decide what the organization is going to do, as a single member. The fact that you want to focus on the Columbia River or Snake river dams, does absolutely nothing about any fishery other than the Columbia and some of its tributaries. There are about eight positions on the Washington side and they will work on whatever position they choose to, at their own discretion. CCA Texas and other states were cleaning up derelict crab traps, long before the Washington Chapter took a position to support derelict net and crab trap removal. Being late to the party is not a crime, either.

I personally dont care whether you support or join cca. The bulk of the population does not share your narrow view of CCA and it Founders connection to oil. Since when do they want to drink poison and not catch fish? If we had 10,000 members in this state, we would be getting more done than we are now.
We would raise more money, have more volunteers and we could work on habitat projects and other issues at the same time. Every fence sitter, you turn off, could be the guy who knows a powerful legislator or future president. He could be sitting on a wad of cash, to make improvements in areas that you would approve of. But, we dont know who is hiding behind that screen name. Lots of gillnetters around. Either way, you are not improving the fishing.
