[Docket Nos. CP06-12-000 and CP06-13-000]
Gulf LNG Energy, LLC and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the LNG
Clean Energy Project
November 24, 2006.
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission), in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard),
has prepared this final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the
construction and operation of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import
terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities, referred to as the LNG
Clean Energy Project, as proposed by Gulf LNG Energy, LLC and Gulf LNG
Pipeline, LLC (collectively referred to as Gulf LNG) in the above-
referenced dockets.
This final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of
the LNG Clean Energy Project, with appropriate mitigating measures as
recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The final
EIS evaluates alternatives to the proposed action, including the Coast
Guard's alternatives to issuing a Letter of Recommendation, system
alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, and
pipeline alternatives. The final EIS also contains our Essential Fish
Habitat Assessment.
The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of
construction and operation of the following facilities near the City of
Pascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi:
A ship berth and unloading facilities (i.e., marine
facilities) capable of accommodating one LNG ship;
LNG transfer systems;
Two 160,000 cubic meter full containment LNG storage
tanks;
10 high-pressure submerged combustion vaporizers;
Vapor handling systems;
Hazard detection and response equipment, ancillary
utilities, buildings, and service facilities;
A 5.0-mile-long, 36-inch-diameter natural gas sendout
pipeline; and
Associated pipeline support facilities, including three
interconnects/meter stations, one pig launcher, and one pig receiver.
The analysis also includes operation of LNG vessels in the waterway
from the territorial seas until moored at the proposed LNG terminal.
The general purpose of the LNG Clean Energy Project is to provide
up to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to markets in the
United States.
The final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and
is available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch,
888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-8371.
A limited number of copies of the final EIS are available from the
Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch identified above. In
addition, CD copies of the final EIS have been mailed to federal,
state, and local agencies; elected officials; public interest groups;
individuals and affected landowners; libraries; newspapers; and parties
to these proceedings.
Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on the
