Appeals Court Deals Blow to Millennium Bulk Terminals, Washington

Would-be builders of a massive coal export terminal, to be located along the Columbia River at Longview, suffered a severe setback Tuesday in court.
The Washington State Court of Appeals ruled that the Department of Natural Resources had a valid reason when it refused to lease state-owned aquatic lands to Millennium Bulk Terminals.
The DNR had noted the bankruptcy of Arch Coal, one of Millennium’s owners, and the developer’s initial failure to disclose that it wanted to build the largest coal terminal on the West Coast.
The terminal would receive as many as 16 coal trains a day from the Powder River and Unita Basins in Wyoming, for shipment to Asian markets.
