Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility

Attend an informational meeting on Tuesday, February 13th at 7 pm at the Sierra Club to learn more about the current critical public comment period on the Kalama fracked gas-to-methanol refinery.

This comment period is a key opportunity to convince decision-makers to stop the Kalama methanol refinery and the Kalama Lateral pipeline. A state hearings board ordered a new Environmental Impact Statement that fully discloses the refinery’s climate impacts—but without your voice, government officials will try to downplay the project’s emissions.

If Governor Inslee intends to protect landowners from eminent domain and new gas pipelines, reduce air pollution, and ensure that Washington helps stop climate change, he must oppose the Kalama methanol refinery. Cowlitz County, the Port of Kalama, and the Washington Department of Ecology should also deny the proposal under the authority of the State Environmental Policy Act.
