Downeast LNG Says It Will Comply

Downeast LNG representatives denied Save Passamaquoddy Bay’s allegations that the proposed terminal will not comply with SIGTTO standards, affirmatively stating that the terminal design would in fact comply.  Downeast President Dean Girdis also responded.  “I don’t know the law per se.
