The Commission will use this EIS 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 EIS. Please note that the scoping period will close on February 19, 2015. You may submit comments in written form or verbally. Further details on how to submit written comments are in the Public Participation section of this notice. If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on October 10, 2014, you will need to file those comments in Docket No. PF15–2–000 to ensure they are considered as part of this proceeding. In lieu of or in addition to sending written comments, the Commission invites you to attend the public scoping meeting scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping Meeting, Calcasieu Pass Project, February 5, 2015/7–9 p.m. CST, Cameron Parish School Board Educational Conference Center, 510 Marshall Street, Cameron, LA 70631. 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 planned VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:41 Jan 27, 2015 Jkt 235001 project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. The purpose of this scoping meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to learn more about the Commission’s environmental review process, and to verbally comment on the project. The scoping meeting will start at 6:00 p.m. and representatives from Venture Global will be present one hour prior to the start of the meeting to answer questions about the project. Additionally, Venture Global has established an Internet Web site at www.venturegloballng.com that will be updated as the environmental review of its project proceeds. Affected landowners and interested groups and individuals are encouraged to attend the scoping meetings and present comments on the issues they believe should be addressed in the EIS. A transcript of the meeting will be added to the Commission’s administrative record to ensure that your comments are accurately recorded. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. Summary of the Planned Project Venture Global plans to construct and operate an LNG export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana adjacent to the Calcasieu Ship Channel. The facility would receive natural gas from North American sources and would liquefy and store it for export. When constructed, the project could process about 487.2 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas. The Calcasieu Pass project would consist of the following facilities: • Ten (10) liquefaction blocks; PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • two (2) LNG storage tanks, each with approximately 200,000 cubic meter (‘‘m3’’) storage capacity; • two (2) marine berthing docks, to accommodate LNG carriers ranging from 120,000 m3 to 185,000 m3 of carrying capacity; • a temporary floating LNG storage vessel berthed at one of the LNG berthing docks, which would be discontinued after the first permanent LNG storage tank becomes operational; • a turning basin on the Calcasieu Ship Channel; • a utility dock; • a gas-fired electric generation facility with generating capacity of approximately 600 megawatts (‘‘MW’’) that will be constructed to provide power for the project facilities; • two natural gas pipelines to connect to existing transmission pipelines, a 23.8-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter pipeline and a 42-inch-diameter, 18.5mile-long pipeline; • a Gas Gate Station to receive gas from the two lateral pipelines and will include pig 1 receivers, filter/separators, custody transfer meters, pressure regulators, emergency shutdown valves, and gas analyzers; • various buildings, including administration, control rooms, electrical equipment, workshop, and warehouse buildings and structures; • connection to the existing municipal water supply for construction and potable water requirements, and the potential drilling of groundwater wells to allow for water-cooling of the power plant; • facilities associated with the project site’s communication system; and • facilities associated with plant safety and security. The general location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1.2 Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the planned facilities would disturb about 914.1 acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. Following construction, Venture Global would maintain about 347.6 acres for permanent operation of the project’s facilities and pipeline. The Terminal facilities will occupy an approximately 203.6-acre property 1 A ‘‘pig’’ is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline, conducting internal inspections, or other purposes. 2 The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov using the link called ‘‘eLibrary’’ or from the Commission’s Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call (202) 502–8371.
