WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. energy regulators on Tuesday upheld Oregon’s denial for a clean water permit for the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, dealing a blow to plans for an export terminal favored by the Trump administration.
Last March, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had approved Pembina Pipeline Corp’s plan to build and operate a natural gas pipeline and LNG export terminal at Jordan Cove in Oregon.
The Trump administration had also tried to fast track environmental reviews of the project.
But amid opposition from tribes and environmentalists, the $10 billion project failed to get water permits from the state of Oregon.
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is planning to cancel the permit for the $9 billion Keystone XL pipeline project as one of his first acts in office, and perhaps as soon as his first day, according to a source familiar with his thinking.

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's expected move to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline prompted Canada's main oil-producing province of Alberta on Monday to threaten to seek damages as Ottawa made efforts to save the troubled project.
