Freeport LNG Development, L.P.;
FLNG Liquefaction LLC; FLNG
Liquefaction 2, LLC; FLNG
Liquefaction 3, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Phase II Modification and Liquefaction
Projects
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Freeport LNG Phase II
Modification Project and the
Liquefaction Project (Projects) proposed
by Freeport LNG Development, L.P.,
FLNG Liquefaction LLC, FLNG
Liquefaction 2, LLC, and FLNG
Liquefaction 3, LLC (collectively
referred to as Freeport LNG) in the
above-referenced dockets. Freeport LNG
requests authorization to export up to
13.2 million tons of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) per year from its proposed
Liquefaction Plant and associated
facilities in Brazoria County, Texas and
modify its previously approved Phase II
Project facilities within the town of
Quintana.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Projects in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the Projects would have some adverse
impacts; however, most of these impacts
would be reduced to less than
significant levels with the
implementation of Freeport LNG’s
proposed mitigation and the additional
measures recommended by the FERC
staff in the draft EIS.

Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA), United States Department of
Transportation (USDOT), the United
States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), and the National Oceanic
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Fisheries participated as cooperating
agencies in the preparation of the draft
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 USACE,
USEPA, and USDOE can adopt and use
the EIS to support their respective
permit decisions after an independent
review of the document. The USDOT
and NOAA Fisheries cooperated in the
preparation of this draft EIS because of
their special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposal. Although the cooperating
agencies provided input on the
conclusions and recommendations
presented in the draft EIS, the agencies
will present their own conclusions and
recommendations in their respective
Records of Decision or other
determinations for the Projects.
The proposed Phase II Modification
Project includes modification to the
previously authorized LNG vessel
berthing dock, LNG transfer pipelines,
LNG unloading arms, and the access
road system and would eliminate or
modify components of the previously
authorized facility.
The Liquefaction Project consists of
facilities at and adjacent to the existing
LNG terminal and facilities located
beyond Quintana Island. The
Liquefaction Plant, located at and
adjacent to the existing LNG terminal,
would consist of three propane precooled mixed refrigerant liquefaction
trains, each capable of producing a
nominal 4.4 million metric tons per
annum of LNG for export, which
equates to a total liquefaction capacity
of approximately 1.8 billion cubic feet
per day of natural gas.
To support the Liquefaction Plant,
Freeport LNG proposes to construct a
natural gas Pretreatment Plant located
about 2.5 miles north of the existing
Quintana Island Terminal. The
Pretreatment Plant would process the
gas for liquefaction. In addition several
interconnecting pipelines and utility
lines including a five-mile-long, 12-inch
diameter boil-off gas feed pipeline from
the Quintana Island terminal to the
Pretreatment Plant (referred together as
the Pipeline/Utility Line System). The
Liquefaction Plant, the Pretreatment
Plant, and the Pipeline/Utility Line
System, together with the associated
appurtenant structures, are collectively
referred to as the Liquefaction Project.
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.
Individuals who requested a paper
copy, and those who filed a comment
will receive hard copy of the draft EIS,
and others on our environmental
mailing list will receive a CD version of
the draft EIS. In addition, the draft EIS
is available for public viewing on the
FERC’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) using
the eLibrary link. A limited number of
copies are available for distribution and
public inspection at: Federal Energy

This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives are
asked to notify their constituents of this
planned project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
Summary of the Proposed Project
El Paso proposes to abandon in by
sale to DKM Enterprises, LLC (DKM) for
salvage about 42 miles of its Jal Lines
(Lines 1000 and 1001) consisting of two
segments of 16-inch-diameter pipeline
between its Cornudas Compressor
Station at milepost (MP) 144.5 and its
Clint Meter Station at MP 186.5. The
two pipeline segments are adjacent to
each other, offset by about 10 feet, and
within the same permanent right-ofway. Activities El Paso would conduct
related to the abandonment include
disconnecting each end of the
abandoned pipeline segments from its
other facilities; and removing one
mainline valve, three cathodic
protection stations, and about 338 feet
of station piping at the Cornudas
Compressor Station. DKM would
salvage the two 42-mile-long pipeline
segments and aboveground ancillary
facilities subject to the terms of its
purchase and sales agreement with El
Paso and applicable regulations and
permits. El Paso states that the
easements associated with the
abandoned pipelines would revert to the
landowners.
The general location of the project
facilities is shown in appendix 1.1
Land Requirements for Abandonment
El Paso proposes abandoning these
facilities by sale to DKM. It states that
all of its abandonment and DKM’s
salvage activities would be conducted
within El Paso’s existing right-of-way,
and that no additional workspaces for
access or storage of materials or
equipment would be needed. Therefore,
there would be no new land
requirements.

The EA Process
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to
take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from an action
whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity. NEPA also requires us 2 to
discover and address concerns the
public may have about proposals. This
process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The
main goal of the scoping process is to
focus the analysis in the EA on the
important environmental issues. By this
notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to
address in the EA. We will consider all
filed comments during the preparation
of the EA.
In the EA we will discuss impacts that
could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the
proposed project under these general
headings:
• geology and soils;
• land use;
• water resources, fisheries, and
wetlands;
• cultural resources;
• vegetation and wildlife;
• air quality and noise;
• endangered and threatened species;
and
• cumulative resources.
We will also evaluate reasonable
alternatives to the proposed project or
portions of the project, and make
recommendations on how to lessen or
avoid impacts on the various resource
areas.
The EA will present our independent
analysis of the issues. The EA will be
available in the public record through
the Commission’s eLibrary. Depending
on the comments received during the
scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for
an allotted comment period. We will
consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the
Commission. To ensure we have the
opportunity to consider and address
your comments, please carefully follow
the instructions in the Public
Participation section beginning on page
4.
With this notice, we are asking
agencies with jurisdiction by law and/
or special expertise with respect to the
environmental issues of this project to
formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EA.3 Agencies that

the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The
Commission grants affected landowners and others with environmental
concerns intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other
party can adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments
will not give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor
status to have your comments considered.

comments.
