Notice of Availability of The
Environmental Assessment for The
Proposed Stage 3 Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Stage 3 Project, proposed by Corpus
Christi Liquefaction Stage III, LLC,
Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, and
Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline, L.P.
(collectively, Cheniere) in the abovereferenced dockets. Cheniere requests
authorization to expand the liquefied
natural gas (LNG) liquefaction and

storage capacity of the previously
approved Corpus Christi Liquefaction
Project (Liquefaction Project) (Docket
Nos. CP12–507–000 and CP12–508–
000), as well as to construct and operate
a new interstate natural gas pipeline and
associated facilities in San Patricio
County, Texas.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Stage
3 Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed project, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
U.S. Department of Energy, U.S.
Department of Transportation, U.S.
Coast Guard, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service participated as cooperating
agencies in the preparation of the EA.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction
by law or special expertise with respect
to resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis.
The proposed Stage 3 Project includes
the following facilities in San Patricio
County, Texas:
• Addition of seven mid-scale
liquefaction trains capable of producing
up to 11.45 million tons per annum of
LNG;
• one new 160,000-cubic meter LNG
storage tank;
• 21 miles of new 42-inch-diameter
natural gas pipeline;
• addition of two natural gas
compressor units at the existing Sinton
Compressor Station; and
• appurtenant facilities including,
meter and regulator stations, launcher
and receiver facilities, and mainline
valves.
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 EA 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 EA may be accessed by

Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to
making its decision on this project, it is
important that we receive your
comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April
29, 2019.
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to file your

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.

EPA’s IRIS Program is a human health
assessment program that evaluates
quantitative and qualitative information
on the health effects that may result
from exposure to chemicals found in the
environment. Through the IRIS
Program, EPA provides high quality
science-based human health
assessments to support the Agency’s
regulatory activities and decisions to
protect public health. As part of scoping
and initial problem formulation
activities prior to the development of a
draft assessment, the IRIS Program
carries out a broad, preliminary
literature survey to assist in identifying
health effects that have been studied in
relation to the chemical or substance of
interest, as well as science issues that
may need to be considered when
evaluating toxicity. This information, in
conjunction with scoping needs
identified by EPA program and regional
offices, is used to inform the
development of an IRIS Assessment
Plan (IAP).

The IAP communicates the plan for
developing each individual chemical
assessment to the public and includes
summary information on the IRIS
Program’s scoping and initial problem
formulation, objectives and specific
aims for the assessment, and a PECO
(Populations, Exposures, Comparators,
and Outcomes) for the systematic
review. The PECO provides the
framework for developing detailed
literature search strategies and
inclusion/exclusion criteria, particularly
with respect to evidence stream (e.g.,
human, animal, mechanistic), exposure
measures, and outcome measures. The
IAP serves to inform the subsequent
development of chemical-specific
systematic review protocols, which will
be made available for public review.
II. Public Webinar Information
To allow for public input, EPA is
convening a public webinar to discuss
the draft IRIS Assessment Plan for
Methylmercury on May 15, 2019.
Specific teleconference and webinar
information regarding this public
meeting will be provided through the
IRIS website (https://www.epa.gov/iris)
