Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Supplement to Final Environmental Impact Statements for Weeks Island/Cote Blanche Mines

摘要

FEA proposes to implement the Strategic Petroleum Reserve through the development of an 89 million barrel crude oil storage facility at the Weeks Island Mine (LA) and a 27 million barrel facility at the Cote Blanche Mine (LA). The oil transportation systems have been revised to provide direction connection by pipeline to the existing oil distribution system at St. James, LA. This site-specific EIS supplement analyzes the environmental impacts caused by site preparation and operation of the proposed St. James oil distribution system and compares these impacts with those of the barge distribution system considered in the Final EISs.
