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 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 1 The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in the Federal Register.
