In a letter to FERC in docket no. CP07-35, Rear Admiral / Assistant Surgeon General Brian W. Flynn (Ret.) provides a detailed critique of Quoddy Bay LNG’s response to the protest recently filed at FERC by the City of Eastport, Maine. R.Adm. Flynn expresses concern that the emergency response plan under development by Quoddy Bay for Eastport and other communities in close proximity to its proposed terminal “will not adequately address the myriad issues necessary to protect the public’s health or provide adequate health and medical care in the event of an LNG incident.”
