Letter Submitted to FERC Argues Siting Challenges for Crown Landing LNG Also Apply to Weaver’s Cove LNG

In a letter submitted to FERC last week, opponents of the Weaver’s Cove LNG import project argue that siting challenges facing Hess LNG, the developer of the Crown Landing LNG project as well as the Weaver’s Cove project, apply to both projects. As Crown Landing LNG asked FERC to extend the deadline for the company to develop its project due to siting difficulties caused by new LNG exclusion zone guidelines issued by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), the letter argues that Weaver’s Cove LNG also is unlikely to be able to comply with the PHMSA requirements. The letter is available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP04-36.
