Elba Liquefaction Company, LLC,
Southern LNG Company, LLC, Elba
Express Company, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Elba
Liquefaction Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
natural gas facilities proposed by Elba
Liquefaction Company, LLC (ELC),
Southern LNG Company, LLC (SLNG),
and Elba Express Company, LLC (EEC)
(collectively referred to as
‘‘Companies’’) in the above-referenced
dockets. The proposed Elba
Liquefaction Project and EEC
Modification Project are collectively
referred to as the Elba Liquefaction
Project, or Project. The Companies
request authorization to add natural gas
liquefaction and exporting capabilities
to SLNG’s existing Elba Island liquefied
natural gas (LNG) terminal (LNG
Terminal) and abandon SLNG’s existing
LNG truck loading facilities at the LNG
Terminal in Chatham County, Georgia.
In addition, the Companies propose to
construct and operate new and modified
compression and metering facilities in
Hart, Jefferson, and Effingham Counties,
Georgia, and in Jasper County, South
Carolina. The Project would enable
SLNG to export approximately 2.5
million tons per annum of LNG via the
existing LNG Terminal in Chatham
County, Georgia.

The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed Project, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The U.S. Department of Energy—
Office of Fossil Energy (DOE–FE), U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT),
and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
participated as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the EA. Cooperating
agencies have jurisdiction by law or
special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis, and will adopt and use the EA
to support their respective approvals for
the Project.
ELC and SLNG propose to construct
and operate liquefaction and export
facilities in two phases at the LNG
Terminal. Phase I of the proposed
facilities associated with the LNG
Terminal includes installation of three
liquefaction system units; installation of
a flare system and a marine flare;
modifications to the LNG Terminal; and
ancillary facilities and support system
modifications. Project facilities
associated with Phase II include
installation of seven additional
liquefaction system units, ancillary
support systems, and potential
additions or upgrades to systems
installed as part of Phase I.
ECC proposes to construct and
operate facilities on its existing pipeline
system in three phases. The Phase I
would include the addition of
approximately 31,800 horsepower (hp)
of compression and metering
modifications to the existing Hartwell
Compressor Station; construction of a
new 15,900 hp compressor station in
Jefferson County, Georgia; construction
of a new 15,900 hp compressor station
in Effingham County, Georgia;
installation of new metering facilities at
existing sites in Chatham and Effingham
County, Georgia and Jasper County,
South Carolina; and modifications to
segregate the two pipelines that
currently extend from Elba Island to
Port Wentworth, Georgia.
Phase II would include the addition of
approximately 15,900 hp of
compression at the existing Hartwell
Compressor Station. Phase III would
include the addition of approximately
15,900 hp at each of the Hartwell,
Jefferson, and Rincon Compressor
Stations.
