The most optimistic date for starting construction is 2010, said Morrissey, and litigation is already a factor as Humboldt Baykeeper has sued based on claims that contaminants from the former railroad yard site are illegally discharging into Humboldt Bay.

“This project is so large and so complex that there have been expected and unforeseen delays all along the way,” she said when asked about the continually revised release schedule. “Ten months ago when I said 30 to 60 days I meant it, and five months ago when I said 30 to 60 days I meant it then, too. The present forecast of 30 to 60 days is as firm as I can make it.”
