Puyallup Tribe, environmental groups file challenges against Tacoma LNG project

Tacoma’s liquefied natural gas project under development on the Tideflats cleared a final permit hurdle last week, and challenges promised by opponents now have been filed.

On Thursday, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians announced its formal action, as did Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law organization. Earthjustice is representing Advocates for a Cleaner Tacoma, the Washington chapter of the Sierra Club, Washington Environment Council, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility and Stand.Earth, an environmental organization.
