The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Vista del Sol LNG Terminal LP and Vista del Sol Pipeline LP (collectively referred to as Vista del Sol) in the above-referenced dockets. The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The staff concludes that approval of the proposed project with appropriate mitigating measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The final EIS also evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including system alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, and pipeline alternatives. Vista del Sol’s proposed facilities would transport up to 1.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) of imported natural gas to the United States market. In order to provide LNG import, storage, and pipeline transportation services, Vista del Sol requests Commission authorization to construct, install, and operate an LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities. The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities: • A ship unloading facility with berthing capabilities for one LNG ship with cargo capacities of up to 250,000 cubic meters (m3); • Three 155,000 m3 full containment LNG storage tanks; • Vaporization equipment capable of an average sendout capacity of 1.1 Bcfd and a maximum sendout capacity of 1.4 Bcfd; • Ancillary utilities, buildings, and service facilities; • One 25.3 mile-long, 36-inchdiameter natural gas sendout pipeline; and • Associated pipeline support facilities, including six meter stations at E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1
