Cameron LNG, LLC and Cameron
Interstate, LLC; Notice of Availability of
the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Cameron
Liquefaction Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Cameron Liquefaction Project
(Project), proposed by Cameron LNG,
LLC and Cameron Interstate Pipeline,
LLC (collectively Cameron) in the
above-referenced docket. Cameron
requests authorization to export 12
million tons of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) per year from its terminal in
Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes,
Louisiana.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Cameron Liquefaction Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that
approval of the proposed Project, with
the mitigation measures recommended
in the EIS, would ensure that impacts in
the Project area would be avoided or
minimized and would not be
significant. Construction and operation
of the Project would result in mostly
temporary and short-term
environmental impacts; however, some
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
long-term and permanent environmental
impacts would occur.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE), U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), and U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT)
participated as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the EIS. Cooperating
agencies have jurisdiction by law or
special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis. The COE and DOE will adopt
and use the EIS in issuing their
respective permits. The U.S. Coast
Guard and DOT cooperated in the
preparation of this EIS because of their
special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposal. Although the cooperating
agencies provided input to the
conclusions and recommendations
presented in the draft EIS, the agencies
will present their own conclusions and
recommendations in their respective
Records of Decision for the Project.
The Project would use the facilities at
the existing Cameron LNG Terminal,
including the existing berthing facilities
and LNG storage tanks, as well as the
existing Cameron Interstate Pipeline.
Operation of the Project would not
increase LNG carrier traffic beyond that
previously authorized for the existing
Cameron LNG Terminal. The draft EIS
addresses the potential environmental
effects of the construction and operation
of the following Project facilities:
• Three separate systems that liquefy
natural gas, each capable of producing
4 million metric tons per year of LNG
for export;
• one 160,000-cubic-meter, fullcontainment LNG storage tank;
• refrigerant make-up and condensate
product storage;
• truck loading/unloading area;
• one marine work dock for delivery of
equipment and construction
materials;
• minor modifications to existing
terminal facilities;
• 21 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline;
• one 56,820-horsepower compressor
station; and
• ancillary facilities.
The FERC staff mailed copies of the
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.
Everyone on our environmental mailing
list will receive a CD version of the draft

public inspection at: Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Public

Cameron LNG, LLC and Cameron Interstate, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the
Proposed Cameron Liquefaction Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Cameron Liquefaction Project (Project), proposed by Cameron
LNG, LLC and Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC (collectively Cameron) in
the above-referenced docket. Cameron requests authorization to export
12 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year from its
terminal in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana.
The draft EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Cameron Liquefaction Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy

ensure that impacts in the Project area would be avoided or minimized
and would not be significant. Construction and operation of the Project
would result in mostly temporary and short-term environmental impacts;
however, some long-term and permanent environmental impacts would
occur.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EIS.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with
respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and
participate in the NEPA analysis. The COE and DOE will adopt and use
the EIS in issuing their respective permits. The U.S. Coast Guard and
DOT cooperated in the preparation of this EIS because of their special
expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the
proposal. Although the cooperating agencies provided input to the
conclusions and recommendations presented in the draft EIS, the
agencies will present their own conclusions and recommendations in

Terminal, including the existing berthing facilities and LNG storage
tanks, as well as the existing Cameron Interstate Pipeline. Operation

environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
