[ Docket Nos. CP07–52–000; CP07–53–000;
CP07–53–001]
Downeast LNG, Inc., Downeast
Pipeline, LLC.; Notice of Availability of
the Supplemental Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Downeast LNG Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a
Supplemental Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the Downeast
LNG Project, proposed by Downeast
LNG, Inc. and Downeast Pipeline, LLC
(hereafter collectively referred to as
Downeast) in the above-referenced
dockets. Downeast requests
authorization to construct and operate a
new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import
terminal, natural gas pipeline, and
associated facilities in Washington
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
County, Maine. The Downeast LNG
Project would provide about 500 million
cubic feet per day of imported natural
gas to the New England region.
The Commission previously issued a
draft EIS for this project in May 2009.
Since then the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) has issued
clarifications on its Title 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 193,
which are relevant to the proposed
Downeast LNG Project. In October 2011,
DOT issued final decisions approving
specific alternative models for use in
complying with these federal safety
standards. Downeast filed information
with the FERC as required by the latest
DOT interpretations in October and
November 2012. In 2010, the U.S. Coast
Guard (Coast Guard) revised its
regulations in Title 33, CFR, Part 127 on
the process used to examine the
suitability of the waterway for LNG
carrier transits. In 2011, the Coast Guard
also updated Navigation and Vessel
Inspection Circular 01–2011, ‘‘Guidance
Related to Waterfront LNG Facilities.’’
In 2012, the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) released the report ‘‘Liquefied
Natural Gas Safety Research Report to
Congress’’ detailing the results of
research conducted by Sandia National
Laboratories on intentional breaches of
LNG carrier cargo tanks and the
resulting LNG spills on water.
Based on the new information from
the DOT, DOE, Coast Guard, and
Downeast, FERC staff revised the
reliability and safety analysis of the
LNG terminal and carrier transit that
was presented in the May 2009 draft EIS
and prepared the Supplemental draft
EIS. This document presents FERC
staff’s: technical review of the proposed
facility’s preliminary design; siting
analysis, prepared with the cooperation
of the DOT; and conclusions on the
waterway suitability based on input
from the Coast Guard. The DOT
participated as a cooperating agency in
the preparation of the Supplemental
draft EIS.
We 1 mailed copies of the
Supplemental draft EIS to federal, state,
and local government representatives
and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
newspapers and libraries in the project
area; and parties to this proceeding.
Paper copy versions of the Supplement
to the draft EIS were mailed to those
specifically requesting them; all others
1 ‘‘We,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to the
environmental staff of the FERC’s Office of Energy
Projects.
