Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC,

the Final Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Gulf LNG
Liquefaction Project
April 17, 2019.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Gulf LNG Liquefaction Project,
proposed by Gulf LNG Liquefaction

Company, LLC; Gulf LNG Energy, LLC;
and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC (GLP)
(collectively referred to as Gulf LNG) in
the above-referenced docket. Gulf LNG
requests authorization pursuant to
Section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) to construct and operate onshore
liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction
and associated facilities to allow export
of LNG. Pursuant to Part 157.203 of
Commission regulations, Gulf LNG
intends to construct, own, operate, and
maintain new interconnection and
metering facilities for the existing Gulf
LNG Pipeline in Jackson County,
Mississippi. The proposed actions are
referred to as the Gulf LNG Liquefaction
Project (Project) and consist of the Gulf
LNG Terminal Expansion (Terminal
Expansion) and the GLP Pipeline
Modifications.
The final EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of construction
and operation of the Gulf LNG
Liquefaction 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 have some adverse
environmental impacts; however, these
impacts would be avoided or reduced to
less-than-significant levels.

Department of Transportation’s Pipeline

Administration; U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service; National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, National
Marine Fisheries Service; and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
participated as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the EIS. In addition,
the Mississippi Office of the Secretary of
State has jurisdiction over the wetland
mitigation property and, therefore, is
assisting us as a cooperating agency.
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 final EIS, the agencies
will present their own conclusions and
recommendations in their respective
Records of Decision for the Project.
The final EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following proposed facilities:
• Feed gas pre-treatment facilities,
including a mercury removal system, an
acid gas removal system (to remove
carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide), a

molecular sieve dehydration system (to
remove water), and a heavy
hydrocarbon removal system (to remove
natural gas liquids);
• two separate propane precooled
mixed refrigerant liquefaction trains that
liquefy natural gas, each with a nominal
liquefaction capacity of 5 million tonnes
per annum (mtpa) and a maximum
capacity of more than 5.4 mtpa of LNG;
• liquefaction facility utilities and
associated systems, including two gasfired turbine compressors per
liquefaction train;
• storage facilities for condensate,
ammonia and refrigerants;
• utilities systems, including
instrument, plant air, and nitrogen;
• a truck loading/unloading facility to
unload refrigerants and to load
condensate produced during the gas
liquefaction process;
• four flares (including one spare
flare) in a single flare tower to incinerate
excess gases associated with
maintenance, startup/shutdown, and
upset conditions during an emergency;
• two supply docks (North and South
Supply Docks) designed to receive
barges transporting materials and large
equipment during construction, with
one dock retained for use during
operation;
• new in-tank LNG loading pumps in
the existing LNG storage tanks to
transfer LNG through the existing
transfer lines to LNG marine carriers;
• new spill impoundment systems
designed to contain LNG, refrigerants
and other hazardous fluids;
• minor changes to piping at the
existing berthing facility to permit bidirectional flow;
• a new concrete storm surge
protection wall that connects to the
existing storm surge protection wall
near the southwest corner of the
Terminal Expansion site and extends
along the southern border of the
Terminal Expansion site;
• a new earthen berm extending from
the northeastern to the southeastern
boundaries of the Terminal Expansion
site, between the Terminal Expansion
and the Bayou Casotte Dredged Material
Management Site, and connecting to the
new segments of the storm surge
protection wall;
• six off-site construction support
areas for use as staging and laydown
areas, contractor yards, and parking;
• modifications to the existing
metering stations at the existing
Gulfstream Pipeline Company and
Destin Pipeline Company
interconnection facilities; and
• modifications to the existing Gulf
LNG Pipeline at the existing Terminal to
provide a connection to the inlet of the
