County Critical of Port Dolphin LNG Deepwater Port FEIS
Posted on Sep 8, 2009 in Environmental, Pipelines, Regas Terminals & Capacity, State and Local Issues | Comments Off on County Critical of Port Dolphin LNG Deepwater Port FEIS
Manatee County, Fla., filed comments with FERC and the U.S. Coast Guard that criticizes the findings of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) prepared for the Port Dolphin LNG deepwater port project. The county notes that recently its Board of County Commissioners voted to conditionally approve an alternative pipeline route for the Port Dolphin project, but it argues that the FEIS as it currently stands does not sufficiently account for the effects of the planned natural gas pipeline on sand replenishment resources. The county’s comments are available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP07-191.
