DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP17–41–000]
Eagle LNG Partners Jacksonville, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Jacksonville Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Jacksonville Project, proposed by
Eagle LNG Partners Jacksonville, LLC
(Eagle LNG) in the above-referenced
docket. Eagle LNG requests
authorization to construct and operate a
liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on
the north bank of the St. Johns River in
Jacksonville, Florida. Eagle LNG’s
Jacksonville Project would consist of an
LNG terminal on about 81.1 acres of a
193.4-acre parcel of land and would
produce a nominal capacity of about 1.0
million (metric) tonnes per annum
(MTPA) of LNG. The LNG terminal
would receive natural gas from a new
120-foot-long non-jurisdictional natural
gas pipeline constructed by Peoples Gas’
(a subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc.),
connected to its existing local gas
distribution transmission pipeline,
which is immediately adjacent to the
proposed terminal site.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Jacksonville Project in accordance with
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the Jacksonville Project would result in
some limited adverse environmental

impacts; however, these impacts would
be reduced to less-than-significant
levels with the implementation of Eagle
LNG’s proposed mitigation and the
additional measures recommended in
the draft EIS.
The U.S. Department of Energy, U.S.
Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and U.S. Department of
Transportation 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 or determinations
for the project.
The draft EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following project facilities:
• Three LNG trains, each with a
nominal capacity of 0.33 MTPA of LNG
for export, resulting in a total nominal
capacity of 1.0 MTPA;
• one LNG storage tank with a net
capacity of 45,000 m3;
• marine facilities with a concrete
access trestle and loading platform, and
two liquid loading arms capable of
docking and mooring a range of LNG
vessels with an LNG cargo capacity of
up to 45,000 m3;
• LNG truck loading facilities with a
dual bay capable of loading 260 to 520
LNG trucks per year;
• a boil-off gas compression system;
• on-site refrigerant storage;
• ground flare and cold vent systems;
and
• utilities and support facilities (e.g.,
administration, control, and workshop
buildings; roads and parking areas;
power and communications; water, air,
septic, and stormwater systems).
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability 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;
and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. The draft EIS is only
available in electronic format. It may be
viewed and downloaded from the
FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the
Environmental Documents page (https://
www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/
eis.asp). In addition, the draft EIS may
be accessed by using the eLibrary link
on the FERC’s website. Click on the
