Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC, Venture
Global CP Express, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
CP2 LNG AND CP Express Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the CP2 LNG and CP Express
Projects (Project), proposed by Venture
Global CP2 LNG, LLC (CP2 LNG) and
Venture Global CP Express, LLC (CP
Express) in the above-referenced
dockets. CP2 LNG and CP Express
request authorizations to construct,
install, own, operate, and maintain
certain liquefied natural gas (LNG)
facilities in Cameron Parish, Louisiana
and certain pipeline facilities in
Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes,
Louisiana and Jasper and Newton
Counties, Texas.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
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 impact. However, most
of these impacts would be avoided or
reduced to less-than-significant levels,
with the exception of climate change
and visual resources, including
cumulative visual impacts, and visual
impacts on environmental justice
communities in the region. Climate
change impacts are not characterized in
the EIS as significant or insignificant.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
New Orleans and Galveston Districts,
U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Coast
Guard, U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration, and National Marine
Fisheries Service 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. The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers New Orleans and
Galveston Districts will adopt and use
the EIS to consider compliance with
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:17 Jan 25, 2023
Jkt 259001
1972, as amended and Section 10 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.
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:
• a liquefaction plant consisting of 18
liquefaction blocks and ancillary
support facilities, each block having a
nameplate capacity of about 1.1 million
tonnes per annum of LNG;
• six pretreatment systems, each
including an amine gas-sweetening unit
to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and a
molecular sieve dehydration system to
remove water;
• four 200,000 cubic meter
aboveground full containment LNG
storage tanks (two per phase) with
cryogenic pipeline connections to the
liquefaction plant and to the berthing
docks;
• carbon capture and sequestration
facilities, including carbon capture
equipment within the terminal site as
well as a non-jurisdictional CO2 sendout pipeline outside of the terminal
site; 1
• a combined cycle natural gas
turbine power plant with a nameplate
capacity of 1,470 megawatts;
• two marine LNG loading docks and
turning basins and two cryogenic lines
for LNG transfer from the storage tanks
to the docks;
• administration, control,
maintenance, and warehouse buildings
and related parking lots;
• 85.4 miles of 48-inch-diameter
natural gas pipeline (CP Express
Pipeline);
• 6.0 miles of 24-inch-diameter
natural gas lateral pipeline connecting
to the CP Express Pipeline in northwest
Calcasieu Parish (Enable Gulf Run
Lateral);
• one 187,000-horsepower natural
gas-fired compressor station (Moss Lake
Compressor Station);
• six meter stations (five at
interconnects with existing pipelines
and one at the terminus of the CP
Express Pipeline within the Terminal
Site); and
• other appurtenant facilities.2
1 CP2 LNG anticipates this pipeline would be
installed under the southern portion of the
Terminal Site floodwall and terminate at a nonjurisdictional offshore platform in State of
Louisiana waters.
2 The LNG terminal would also include the
following non-jurisdictional facilities: electrical

The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability 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;
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
natural gas environmental documents
page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/
environmental-documents). In addition,
the draft EIS may be accessed by using
the eLibrary link on the FERC’s website.
Click on the eLibrary link (https://
elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search) select
‘‘General Search’’ and enter the docket
number in the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field,

The number of pages in the draft EIS
exceeds the page limits set forth in the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
July 16, 2020 final rule, Update to the
Regulations Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (85 FR
43304). Noting the scope and
complexity of the proposed action and
action alternatives, the Director of the
Office of Energy Projects, as our senior
agency official, has authorized this page
limit exceedance for this draft EIS.
The draft EIS is not a decision
document. It presents Commission
staff’s independent analysis of the
environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when
addressing the merits of all issues in
this proceeding. Any person wishing to
comment on the draft EIS may do so.
Your comments should focus on draft
EIS’s disclosure and discussion of
potential environmental effects,
measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts, and the
completeness of the submitted
alternatives, information, and analyses.
To ensure consideration of your
comments on the proposal in the final
EIS, it is important that the Commission
receive your comments on or before 5:00
p.m. Eastern Time on March 13, 2023.
For your convenience, there are four

a convenient way during the timeframe
allotted.
Each comment session is scheduled
from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Central
Standard Time. You may arrive at any
time after 5:00 p.m. There will not be a
formal presentation by Commission staff

However, if no additional numbers have
been handed out and all individuals
who wish to provide comments have
had an opportunity to do so, staff may
conclude the session at 7:30 p.m.
Your oral comments will be recorded
by the court reporter (with FERC staff or
representative present) and become part
of the public record for this proceeding.
Transcripts will be publicly available on
FERC’s eLibrary system (see page 3 for
instructions on using eLibrary). If a
significant number of people are
interested in providing oral comments
in the one-on-one settings, a time limit
of 5 minutes may be implemented for
each commentor. Although there will
not be a formal presentation,
Commission staff will be available
throughout the comment session to
answer your questions about the
environmental review process.
It is important to note that the
Commission provides equal
consideration to all comments received,
whether filed in written form or
provided orally at a comment session.
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).
Motions to intervene are more fully
described at https://www.ferc.gov/howintervene. Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing or judicial review
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.
