Currently there are five coal export terminal proposals pending in the Washington and Oregon slated to export a total of 157 million tons of coal annually. Each proposal is being evaluated and permitted individually without comprehensive consideration of the cumulative impacts of all the coal export terminals on Washington State and our individual communities. 2. Moving 157 million tons of coal from the coal fields of Montana and Wyoming to the Columbia River for shipment and finally to Asia will have economic, community, environmental and transportation impacts to Washington and more specifically Cowlitz County and Longview. 3. The impacts from the transport of coal through Washington and its communities would be significant. AreasMon, 02 Feb 2026 14:36:42 GMT
