What impact will the pipeline have on Haynes Inlet and Coos Bay?
The construction impacts in these areas will be temporary. The pipeline will be installed underground using special in-water work equipment and techniques to minimize impacts to water quality and fisheries. Construction of the pipeline across the estuary is planned from October 1 trough February 15 following Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s recommendation. Pacific Connector has developed construction plans and best management practice techniques for installing the pipeline through Coos Bay.
