It has come to our attention that the environmental mailing list was not provided copies of the NOI; therefore, we are issuing this Supplemental NOI to extend the scoping period and provide additional time for interested parties to file comments on environmental issues. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Jacksonville Project (Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by Eagle LNG Partners Jacksonville LLC (Eagle LNG) in Duval County, Florida. The Commission will use this EIS in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. The Commission and its cooperating agencies continue to gather input from VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Mar 31, 2015 Jkt 235001 the public and interested agencies on the project. This process is referred to as scoping. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EIS. The initial NOI identified March 26, 2015 as the close of the scoping period. Please note that the scoping period is now extended and will close on April 24, 2015. 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 Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. 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 Eagle LNG proposes to construct, own and operate the Jacksonville LNG facility located within the City of Jacksonville, Florida, on industrially zoned land adjacent to the St. Johns River. The facility would receive domestically produced natural gas, transported through existing and expanded local utility pipelines, and utilize super-cooling to create liquefied natural gas (LNG) for temporary onsite storage. The Project would include three liquefaction trains, one (possibly two) LNG storage tanks, and a marine loadout facility and dock on the St. Johns River that could accommodate small to mid-size LNG vessels and bunkering barges. LNG would be periodically loaded for transport onto trucks, containers, or ocean-going vessels, and marketed for use in U.S. vehicular and high-horsepower engines, domestic ship fueling (marine bunkering), and international export. As currently planned, the Jacksonville Project would consist of the following facilities: • Three liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 0.18 million tons per annum; • inlet natural gas boost compression; • interconnect piping (including potential non-jurisdictional expansion of existing public utility lines); • one 30,283 cubic meter single containment LNG storage tank; • an LNG vessel docking and loading terminal; • an LNG truck loading area; PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • flare stack; and • power, water, and communications facilities (including off-site nonjurisdictional facilities leading to the Project site). The general location of the Project site is shown in Appendix 1.1 Land Requirements for Construction The planned Jacksonville Project would encompass a 193 acre site along the St. Johns River that is currently zoned for industrial development by the City of Jacksonville, and located in an area that hosts other bulk fuel terminals. The Project site includes a submerged land lease covering lands extending approximately 600 feet from the shoreline into the St. Johns River. Based on the Project’s initial design, the facility construction footprint would occupy approximately 40 of the 193 acres; laydown area requirements during construction are included within the 40 acres. Eagle LNG is still in the planning phase for the Jacksonville Project and the required property title assignments have not been finalized. The EIS 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 authorization of LNG facilities under section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act. 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 EIS on the important environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EIS. We will consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EIS. In the EIS, we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the planned Project under these general headings: • Geology and soils; • land use; • water resources and wetlands; • cultural resources; • vegetation, fisheries, and wildlife; 1 The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in the Federal Register.
