Ingleside Energy Center, LLC San Patricio Pipeline, LLC; Notice 
of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement For The 
Proposed Ingleside Energy Center Lng Terminal And Pipeline Project

June 10, 2005.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared this final environmental impact statement 
(EIS) on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and natural 
gas pipeline facilities proposed by Ingleside Energy Center, LLC and 
San Patricio Pipeline, LLC (collectively referred to as Ingleside San 
Patricio) 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.
    Ingleside San Patricio's proposed facilities would have a nominal 
output of about 1.0 billion cubic feet of imported natural gas per day 
to the U.S. market. In order to provide LNG import, storage, and 
pipeline transportation services, Ingleside San Patricio 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 in San Patricio and Nueces Counties, Texas:

Channel that would include a ship maneuvering area and one protected 
berth to unload up to 140 LNG ships per year;
     Two double containment LNG storage tanks with a nominal 
working volume of approximately 160,000 cubic meters (1,006,000 barrels

regulations implementing NEPA, no agency decision on a proposed action 
may be made until 30 days after the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency publishes a notice of availability of a final EIS. However, the
