Freeport LNG Development, L.P.;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Planned Freeport LNG Train 4 Project
and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Summary of the Planned Project
Freeport LNG intends to add a fourth
liquefaction unit to Freeport LNG’s
natural gas liquefaction facilities on
Quintana Island in Brazoria County,
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Texas. The Freeport LNG Train 4 Project
(Train 4 Project) would be located west
and adjacent to the facilities authorized
and currently under construction for the
Phase II Modification Project (Docket
No. CP12–29–000) and Liquefaction
Project (Docket No. CP12–509–000),
which comprises three liquefaction
trains and related facilities. Train 4
would be within the existing Freeport
LNG site boundary.
Freeport LNG indicates that the Train
4 Project would provide additional
liquefaction capacity of approximately
5.1 million metric tonnes per annum
(mtpa) of LNG for export, which equates
to a natural gas throughput capacity of
approximately 0.72 billion cubic feet
per day (Bcf/d). This would enable
Freeport LNG to respond favorably and
proactively to short- and longer-term
fluctuations in domestic and global gas
markets.
The Freeport LNG Train 4 Project
would consist of the following facilities:
• A propane pre-cooled mixed
refrigerant liquefaction unit;
• a feed gas receiving and metering
station;
• utility, auxiliary, and control
systems, including common utilities,
spill containment systems, fire and
safety systems, one electric substation,
security systems, and plant roads.
The general location of the project
facilities is shown in Appendix 1.1
Land Requirements for Construction
The Train 4 Project liquefaction
facilities would be entirely within the
Freeport LNG’s existing site boundary
on Quintana Island in Brazoria County,
Texas. Construction of the liquefaction
facilities would be within areas
approved as temporary work space for
the Phase II Modification Project and
Liquefaction Project. Construction of the
Train 4 Project liquefaction facilities is
expected to affect about 87 acres of land.
Following construction, Freeport LNG
would maintain about 21 acres for
permanent operation of the Train 4
Project’s facilities; the remaining
acreage would be restored and revert to
former uses.
Non-jurisdictional Facilities
The facility will receive natural gas
from a 2,000-foot-long intrastate natural
gas pipeline (feed gas pipeline) and
power from a five-mile-long electric line
