Agency seeks wave energy input
Saturday, July 01, 2006 | No comments posted.
The Department of the Interior working to facilitate offshore wind, wave or alternative renewable energy resources and is soliciting input from the public.
The Port of Umpqua and other western Douglas County organizations and state agencies also are looking at the possibility of establishing a wave energy park offshore of Gardiner, with a corresponding energy plant at the former International Paper mill site.
DOI's Minerals Management Service spokesman John Romero said the agency is interested in hearing from the public about energy uses for the outer continental shelf, which would include wave energy off the coast of Oregon.
“We want to hear what the concerns are,” Romero said.
The DOI has set up a Web site, http://www.ocsenergy.anl.gov/, with information about proposed plans, draft environmental impact statements and more. It also has information on ways residents can submit their comments.
