Golden Pass Products, LLC and
Golden Pass Pipeline, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Golden Pass LNG Export Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Golden Pass Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) Export Project, proposed by
Golden Pass Products, LLC and Golden
Pass Pipeline, LLC (collectively referred
to as Golden Pass) in the abovereferenced docket. Golden Pass requests
authorization to expand and modify the
existing Golden Pass LNG Import
Terminal to allow the export of LNG,
which would require construction and
operation of various liquefaction, LNG
distribution, and appurtenant facilities.
The Project would also include
construction of approximately 2.6 miles
of 24-inch pipeline, three new
compressor stations, and
interconnections for bi-directional
transport of natural gas to and from the
Golden Pass LNG Export terminal.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Golden Pass LNG Export 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 result in some adverse
environmental impact; however, those
impacts would not be significant with

implementation of Golden Pass’
proposed mitigation and the additional
measures recommended in the draft EIS.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard), U.S.
Department of Energy, U.S. Department
of Transportation, and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
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. 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 draft EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following project facilities:
• Liquefaction facilities at the
existing Golden Pass Export Terminal
including three liquefaction trains, a
truck unloading facility, refrigerant and
condensate storage, safety and control
systems, and associated infrastructure;
• a supply dock and alternate marine
delivery facilities at the Terminal;
• three miles of a new 24-inchdiameter pipeline loop 1 adjacent to the
existing Golden Pass pipeline;
• three new compressor stations;
• five new pipeline interconnections
and modifications at existing pipeline
interconnections; and
• miscellaneous appurtenant
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.
Paper copy versions of this EIS were
mailed to those specifically requesting
them; all others received a CD version.
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 Regulatory
Commission, Public Reference Room,
888 First Street NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371.

We will begin our sign up of speakers
at 6:30 p.m. The scoping meetings will
begin at 7:00 p.m. with a description of
our environmental review process by
Commission staff, after which speakers
will be called. The meetings will end
once all speakers have provided their
comments or at 9:00 p.m., whichever
comes first. Please note that there may
be a time limit of three minutes to
present comments, and speakers should
structure their comments accordingly. If
time limits are implemented, they will
be strictly enforced to ensure that as
many individuals as possible are given
an opportunity to comment. The
meetings will be recorded by a
stenographer to ensure comments are
accurately recorded. Transcripts will be
entered into the formal record of the
Commission proceeding.
Any person seeking to become a party
to the proceeding must file a motion to
intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214).2 Only
intervenors have 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.

Golden Pass Products, LLC and Golden Pass Pipeline, LLC; Notice
of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the
Proposed Golden Pass LNG Export Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Golden Pass Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Export Project,
proposed by Golden Pass Products, LLC and Golden Pass Pipeline, LLC
(collectively referred to as Golden Pass) in the above-referenced
docket. Golden Pass requests authorization to expand and modify the
existing Golden Pass LNG Import Terminal to allow the export of LNG,
which would require construction and operation of various liquefaction,
LNG distribution, and appurtenant facilities. The Project would also
include construction of approximately 2.6 miles of 24-inch pipeline,
three new compressor stations, and interconnections for bi-directional
transport of natural gas to and from the Golden Pass LNG Export
terminal.
The draft EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Golden Pass LNG Export 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
result in some adverse environmental impact; however, those impacts
would not be significant with
[[Page 18613]]
implementation of Golden Pass' proposed mitigation and the additional
measures recommended in the draft EIS.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard),
U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Transportation, and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency 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. 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 draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the following project facilities:
Liquefaction facilities at the existing Golden Pass Export
Terminal including three liquefaction trains, a truck unloading
facility, refrigerant and condensate storage, safety and control
systems, and associated infrastructure;
a supply dock and alternate marine delivery facilities at
the Terminal;
three miles of a new 24-inch-diameter pipeline loop \1\
adjacent to the existing Golden Pass pipeline;

allows more gas to move through the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
three new compressor stations;
five new pipeline interconnections and modifications at
existing pipeline interconnections; and
miscellaneous appurtenant 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. Paper copy versions of this EIS were mailed to those
specifically requesting them; all others received a CD version. 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 Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street

Date and time Location

Wednesday, April 19, 2016, 7:00 p.m....... VFW Post 4759, 4402 Highway

------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will begin our sign up of speakers at 6:30 p.m. The scoping
meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. with a description of our
environmental review process by Commission staff, after which speakers
will be called. The meetings will end once all speakers have provided
their comments or at 9:00 p.m., whichever comes first. Please note that
there may be a time limit of three minutes to present comments, and
speakers should structure their comments accordingly. If time limits
are implemented, they will be strictly enforced to ensure that as many
individuals as possible are given an opportunity to comment. The
meetings will be recorded by a stenographer to ensure comments are
accurately recorded. Transcripts will be entered into the formal record
of the Commission proceeding.
Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214).\2\ Only intervenors have
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.
