The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) is in the process of evaluating the Oregon LNG Terminal and Pipeline Project involving the construction and operation of facilities proposed by LNG Development Company, LLC and Oregon Pipeline Company (collectively referred to as Oregon LNG). The facilities would be located in northern Oregon and consist PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24585 of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Warrenton, Oregon, and an associated 121-mile-long natural gas pipeline from the LNG import terminal southeastward across Clatsop, Tillamook, Columbia, Washington, Yamhill, Marion, and Clackamas Counties, Oregon, to an interconnection with existing natural gas pipelines systems near Molalla in Clackamas County, Oregon. As a part of this evaluation, FERC staff will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that will address the environmental impacts of the project. The Commission will use the EIS in its decision-making process to determine whether or not to authorize the project. Although the FERC will be the lead federal agency in the preparation of an EIS that will satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will serve as cooperating agencies during preparation of the EIS. Oregon LNG has not yet filed a formal application with the FERC. However, we 1 have initiated a NEPA review under the FERC’s Pre-Filing Process. The purpose of the Pre-Filing Process is to encourage the early involvement of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before an application is filed with the FERC. As part of this process, the FERC issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Oregon LNG Terminal and Pipeline Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues and Notice of Public Meetings (NOI) on August 24, 2007. Since that NOI was issued, Oregon LNG has changed its proposed project. Specifically, the routing of the pipeline route has changed and the project now includes a 9.4-mile-long pipeline lateral as well as an electric compressor station. Because of these changes, the FERC issued this supplemental NOI. Through the original and supplemental NOIs, we are seeking input from the public in preparing the EIS for the project. This supplemental NOI explains the scoping process we will use to gather information on the project from the public and interested agencies. Your input will help identify the issues that need to be evaluated in the EIS. Comments on the project may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further details on how to submit written comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this NOI. 1 ‘‘We,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to the environmental staff of the FERC’s Office of Energy Projects.
