FERC Pushes Two Projects Forward

摘要

FERC moved closer to approving construction of one of the three big Oregon LNG projects as well as a major new pipeline in the Southeast. The commission staff submitted a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the Jordan Cove LNG project in Oregon and the associated 234-mile Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline plus a draft EIS on the 483-mile Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) Company's Phase VIII Expansion Project.rnBob Braddock, the project manager for Jordan Cove, says he thinks FERC could approve construction as early as July. The mitigation requirements contained in the final EIS would pose no problem for Jordan Cove. They are essentially the same ones that were in the draft EIS and many of the mitigation steps had been proposed initially by Jordan Cove.
