Environmental concerns may complicate El Paso’s plans to construct a pipeline from the proposed Sonora Pacific LNG terminal in Puerto Libertad on the Gulf of California. The manager of Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge near Tucson, Ariz., says the pipeline is unlikely to be approved as planned because current plans to route the pipeline through the refuge likely would have “significant impacts to endangered species.” The Tucson Citizen reports that El Paso has suspended its pipeline proposal until the terminal is able to lock-in upstream supplies.
