Last week Cameron LNG filed a letter from the U.S. Coast Guard with FERC that outlines the initial reaction of the USCG to Cameron’s proposed export operations. The Captain of the Port for Port Arthur, Texas, J.J. Plunkett, stated in his letter that the proposed changes to the Cameron LNG facility do not constitute “new construction” and that the “waterway impacts associated with export operations at the Cameron LNG terminal should not change or exceed those envisioned in the original Environmental Impact Statement, Environmental Assessment, and Waterway Suitability Assessment.” The letter is available in the FERC eLibrary.
