Environmental Assessment: Allocation of Petroleum Feedstock, Columbia LNG Corporation, Green Springs SNG Plant, Green Springs, Seneca County, Ohio

摘要

DOE is considering an extended period allocation of liquid petroleum feedstocks for use in the production of SNG by Columbia Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Corporation (Columbia LNG) in its Green Springs, Ohio, Gas Reforming Plant. The purpose of this report is to assess the degree to which the requested allocation, if granted, would constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of Section 102 (2) (c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). This environmental assessment (EA) will be used as a basis for determining whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) is required before the DOE makes a feedstock allocation decision or whether a negative determination is appropriate.
