The projects would provide an LNG export capacity of 1.08 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of construction and operation of the Magnolia LNG and Lake Charles Expansion Projects in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed projects would result in adverse environmental impacts; however, these impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of Magnolia’s and Kinder Morgan’s proposed mitigation and the additional measures recommended in the final EIS. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Transportation, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the final EIS. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by a proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis. Although the cooperating agencies provided input on the conclusions and recommendations presented in the final EIS, the agencies will present their own conclusions and recommendations in their respective records of decision or determinations for the projects. The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction, modification, and operation of the following facilities associated with the two projects: • A new LNG terminal that includes four liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, liquefaction and refrigerant units, safety and control systems, and associated infrastructure; • LNG truck loading facilities; • LNG carrier and barge loading facilities; • one new meter station; • one new 32,000 horsepower compressor station; • approximately 40 feet of 36-inchdiameter feed gas line to supply natural gas to the LNG terminal from Kinder Morgan’s existing natural gas transmission pipeline; • a new 1.2-mile-long, 36-inchdiameter low pressure natural gas header pipeline; • a new 700-foot-long, 24-inchdiameter high pressure natural gas header pipeline; VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:00 Nov 18, 2015 Jkt 238001 • modifications at six existing meter stations; and • construction of miscellaneous auxiliary and appurtenant facilities. The FERC staff mailed copies of the final EIS to federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners; other interested individuals and nongovernmental organizations; newspapers and libraries in the project areas; and parties to these proceedings. Paper copy versions of this EIS were mailed to those specifically requesting them; all others received a compact disk version. In addition, the final EIS is available for public viewing on the FERC’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited number of hardcopies are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371.
