From an article titled ‘State delays coal terminal environmental study to 2016’ in The Daily News:
A draft environmental study for the $643 million Longview coal terminal that had been due in November has been postponed until 2016, the state Department of Ecology announced Thursday.
A schedule that Gov. Jay Inslee’s office agreed to a year ago had Ecology and other lead agencies, along with a consultant, completing the study next month. Ecology only said Thursday morning that it and its partners are discussing a new completion date for the study. Later in the day it clarified that the EIS would be available “as early as possible in 2016.”
The announcement is another setback for Millennium Bulk Terminals, which filed for permits on the 44 million metric ton export terminal early in 2012.
