FERC Renews Request that FWS Participate in Endangered Species Analysis in Jordan Cove LNG Proceeding
Late last week, FERC renewed its previous request that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) initiate formal consultation with the Commission on issues related to the Endangered Species Act in the Jordan Cove LNG project proceeding. FWS has previously stated it believes that the biological assessment prepared for the Jordan Cove project is inadequate to allow the agency to begin formal interagency consultations. FERC’s letter to FWS is available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP07-444.
