CP07–62–000; CP07–63–000] AES Sparrows Point LNG, LLC; MidAtlantic Express, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Revised Draft Final General Conformity Determination for Pennsylvania for the Proposed Sparrows Point LNG Terminal and Pipeline Project erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES March 1, 2010. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this revised draft Final General Conformity Determination (GCD) for Pennsylvania to assess the potential air quality impacts associated with the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and natural gas pipeline proposed by AES Sparrows Point LNG, LLC and Mid-Atlantic Express, LLC, collectively referred to as AES, in the above-referenced dockets. A separate Final General Conformity Determination was issued for Maryland on December 29, 2009. This revised draft Final GCD was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The FERC staff concludes that the Project will achieve conformity in Pennsylvania. If significant new comments are received by the end of the 30-day public comment period, FERC staff will issue a Final GCD to address any changes necessary and respond to comments. If no new significant comments are received, FERC staff will issue a public notice identifying this draft Final GCD as final. Copies of this revised draft Final GCD have been mailed to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Maryland Department of Environment, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. The revised draft Final GCD for Pennsylvania addresses the potential air quality impacts from the construction and operation of the following LNG terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities: • A ship unloading facility, with two berths, capable of receiving LNG ships with capacities up to 217,000 m3; • Three 160,000 m3 (net capacity) full-containment LNG storage tanks; • A closed-loop shell and tube heat exchanger vaporization system; VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:07 Mar 09, 2010 Jkt 220001 • Various ancillary facilities including administrative offices, warehouse, main control room, security building, and a platform control room; • Meter and regulation station within the LNG Terminal site; • Dredging an approximate 118 acre area in the Patapsco River to 45 feet below mean lower low water to accommodate the LNG vessels and transport of the processed dredge material to its disposal location; and • Approximately 88 miles of 30-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline (approximately 48 miles in Maryland and 40 miles in Pennsylvania), a pig launcher and receiver facility at the beginning and ending of the pipeline, 10 mainline valves, and three meter and regulation stations, one at each of three interconnection sites at the end of the pipeline. The revised draft Final GCD has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is available for public viewing on the FERC’s Web site at https:// www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.
