Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Elba BOG Compressor
Project and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues; Southern LNG
Company, L.L.C.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) that
will discuss the environmental impacts
of the Elba BOG Compressor Project
involving construction and operation of
facilities by Southern LNG Company,
L.L.C. (SLNG) in Chatham County,
Georgia. The Commission will use this
EA in its decision-making process to
determine whether the project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies on the project.
Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues they need to
evaluate in the EA. Please note that the
scoping period will close on February
13, 2012.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental

mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives should
notify their constituents of this
proposed project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
Summary of the Proposed Project
SLNG proposes to construct and
operate additional boil-off gas (BOG)
compression facilities at its liquefied
natural gas (LNG) marine terminal on
Elba Island in Chatham County, Georgia
(Terminal). The Elba BOG Compressor
Project would supplement the existing
1,500 horsepower BOG compressor and
is expected to operate any time the
overall plant vaporization rate is below
approximately 120 million cubic feet
per day. The additional compression
would increase the Terminal’s
capability to compress a total of 21
million cubic feet per day of BOG
generated within its storage tanks
without the need to re-gasify additional
LNG. The project would not increase the
LNG sendout or storage of the Terminal.
The Elba BOG Compressor Project
would consist of the following facilities:
• 2,500 horsepower electric-motor
driven reciprocating gas compressor;
• flow metering modifications;
• underground discharge piping tie-in
to the existing 30-inch-diameter sendout
pipeline;
• approximately 200 feet of 4-inchdiameter suction/discharge pipe;
• approximately 420 feet of
aboveground 10-inch-diameter piping;
• electrical modifications in the
existing compressor building; and
• valving modifications.
The general location of the project
facilities is shown in appendix 1.1
Land Requirements for Construction
The project would be located entirely
within SLNG’s existing Terminal. All
work would be performed within an
approximately 21-acre portion of the
existing Terminal boundaries, near the
existing K–5 compressor at the
Terminal. The majority of the project
land requirements would be temporary
use areas associated with fabrication,
parking, and staging areas, which have
been previously disturbed. Existing
access roads would be used for
construction and operations activities.
At completion, approximately 0.05 acre
of additional land within the Terminal
