Oregon tribe sues over federal agency plans to hold an offshore wind energy auction
The lawsuit, filed by the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, alleges the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management “failed to take a hard look at the impacts to the environment from private offshore wind energy development," including those stemming from building and operating wind energy facilities, plus potential effects on aquatic and cultural resources and viewscapes.
