Cheniere Submits Preliminary Implementation Plan for Sabine Pass LNG Liquefaction Project
Earlier this week, Cheniere Energy submitted its Preliminary Implementation Plan – A to FERC, outlining the company’s plans for compliance with a number of conditions contained in FERC Staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Sabine Pass LNG liquefaction project. The Implementation Plan is available in FERC’s eLibrary under Docket No. CP11-72.
Separately, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offered comments on the EA prepared for the Sabine Pass LNG liquefaction project, concluding that no further consultation on threatened or endangered species is necessary, barring any significant change in the project scope or location. The agency recommends, however, that the project developers adjust their mitigation plans to buy credits at mitigation banks within the surrounding region that contain emergent marshland. These comments also are available in the eLibrary under Docket No. CP11-72.
