Jordan Cove LNG and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline have applied for permits for a project that includes construction of:
- An access channel and marine slip on Coos River's North Spit in North Bend
- An onshore liquefied natural gas export facility and storage terminal on Coos River's North Spit
- A 232-mile pipeline and associated facilities, roads and infrastructure in Coos, Douglas, Jackson and Klamath counties
JCLNG proposes to construct an access channel, marine slip, the LNG facility and ancillary features; PCGP is applying to construct the pipeline and ancillary features. Due to the projects’ interrelated, interdependent components, the Corps will evaluate these applications as a single and complete project.
