"Oregon Dept of State Lands Denies Ambre Energy Coal Terminal Permit"

"Oregon's Department of State Lands on Monday dealt a serious blow to Ambre Energy's proposed coal export project, denying a key permit needed for construction in the Columbia River.

The state agency, which inadvertently posted the news in a fact sheet online, hasn't formally announced yet why it denied the permit for the project that could send 8.8 million tons of coal annually to Asia.

The permit would've allowed Australia-based Ambre Energy to construct a dock in the Columbia River."

Rob Davis reports for the Portland Oregonian August 18, 2014.
