This is your chance to weigh in on the new environmental review of Northwest Innovation Works’ proposed Kalama methanol refinery.
The comment period we are in right now is called scoping. The scoping period is the best time to point out all the issues that the new environmental impact statement should address. Port of Kalama and Cowlitz County are co-creators of the new EIS. These and other agencies will use the EIS to decide whether to issue permits for the Kalama methanol refinery.
If you’ve never voiced your concerns about building the world’s largest fracked gas-to-methanol refinery in our tiny town of Kalama, now is your chance.
All scoping comments must be received by 5 p.m. March 1. Email comments to SEIS@KalamaMFGfacilitySEPA.com or mail to Ann Farr c/o Port of Kalama, 110 West Marine Drive, Kalama, WA 98625.
You can learn more at a meeting hosted by Columbia Riverkeeper at 6 p.m. Feb. 19 at the Kalama Community Building.
