Jordan Cove LNG Argues No Additional NEPA Analysis Needed
Posted on Jun 22, 2011 in Federal Regulation, Regas Terminals & Capacity | Comments Off on Jordan Cove LNG Argues No Additional NEPA Analysis Needed
Yesterday, Jordan Cove Energy Project, L.P. responded to a filing submitted by the Western Environmental Law Center which suggested further NEPA analysis is required because project developers may be considering using their Jordan Cove LNG terminal for LNG exports as well as imports. In its reply, Jordan Cove LNG argues that no additional analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is needed for the present project application because no formal request for export authorization has been offered and, should Jordan Cove LNG seek to export LNG, a separate application to FERC would be required and subject to additional NEPA analysis. Jordan Cove LNG’s filing is in the Commission’s eLibrary under Docket No. CP07-444.
