The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the construction and operation of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal proposed by Bradwood Landing, LLC, and the associated PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34007 natural gas sendout pipeline proposed by NorthernStar Energy, LLC (collectively referred to hereafter as NorthernStar) in the above-referenced dockets. The Bradwood Landing LNG Project facilities would be located in Clatsop and Columbia Counties, Oregon, and Cowlitz County, Washington. The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and the U.S. Department of Transportation are cooperating agencies for the development of the EIS. A cooperating agency has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to potential environmental impacts associated with the proposal and is involved in the NEPA analysis. Based on the analysis included in the EIS, the FERC staff concludes that if the Project is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and the project sponsor’s proposed mitigation, and the staff’s additional mitigation recommendations, it would have mostly limited adverse environmental impacts and would be an environmentally acceptable action. The Bradwood Landing LNG Project would include the construction and operation of an LNG import terminal about 38 miles up the Columbia River from its mouth, at the location of the former lumber mill and town of Bradwood, in Clatsop County, Oregon. Elements of the LNG terminal include: • A dredged maneuvering area in the Columbia River adjacent to the existing navigation channel maintained by the COE; • A single berth capable of handling LNG carriers ranging in capacity from 100,000 to 200,000 cubic meters (m3); • A set of four 16-inch-diameter unloading arms on the wharf, and a 1,240-foot-long cryogenic transfer pipeline from the wharf to the LNG storage tanks; • Two full-containment LNG storage tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000 m3; and • A set of seven submerged combustion vaporizers to re-gasify LNG to natural gas, with a capacity to send out 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. The EIS also addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the associated natural gas sendout pipeline between the Bradwood Landing LNG terminal and an interconnection with the existing Williams Northwest Pipeline Corporation (Williams Northwest) interstate system near Kelso, E:\FR\FM\16JNN1.SGM 16JNN1
