Pearl Crossing LNG Terminal LLC Liquefied Natural Gas Deepwater Port License Application; Preparation of Environmental Impact Statement

Özet

The U.S. Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration ("MARAD") announce that the Coast Guard intends to prepare an environmental impact statement ("EIS") as part of the environmental review of the license application for the proposed Pearl Crossing LNG Terminal deepwater port, to be located approximately 41 miles (66 kilometers) southeast of Cameron, Louisiana, with its associated onshore and offshore components. Onshore components include pipelines, pipeline shore crossings, and a graving dock. Proposed locations for the graving dock are near Corpus Christi, Texas, and Freeport, Texas. Publication of this notice begins a public scoping process that will help determine the scope of issues to be addressed in the EIS and identify the significant environmental issues related to this license application. Finally, this notice solicits public involvement in the scoping process, and announces public meetings and a public comment period to facilitate that involvement.
