Comment on Bradwood Landing LNG Project Focuses on Fish Entrainment in LNG Vessel Ballast Systems
A local Washington resident and shipping engineer filed comments with FERC urging the Commission to hold Bradwood Landing LNG import project developers, NorthernStar Natural Gas, responsible for environmental effects that the operations of LNG vessels will cause while docking or undocking at the facility. The comments focus specifically on the likelihood of fish entrainment in an LNG vessel’s ballast system when the ship uses its bow or stern thrusters. The comments are available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP06-356. Note: other filings related to the Bradwood Landing LNG import project are available under Docket No. CP06-365.
