Waterway Suitability Assessment for Operations of Liquefied Hazardous Gas Terminal; Beaumont, TX
We are requesting your comments on a Letter of Intent and Preliminary Waterway Suitability Assessment (WSA) we received from Martin Midstream Partners proposing to modify its existing Neches Terminal in Beaumont, Texas to handle additional liquefied hazardous gas (LHG).
