SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Meetings and Request for 

Comments 

As discussed under ADDRESSES, the 

Coast Guard, MARAD and CSLC plan to 

conduct public meetings related to 

comments on the DEIS/DEIR for the 

proposed project. The open houses will 

be informal opportunities to ask 

questions and receive information 

regarding the project. The public 

meetings will be structured to provide 

interested members of the public with 

an opportunity to present comments 

regarding the DEIS/DEIR. Speakers at 

the public meetings will be recognized 

in the following order: elected officials, 

public agencies, individuals or groups 

in the sign-up order, and anyone else 

who wishes to speak. Speakers may be 

asked to limit their oral comments to 

three (3) minutes in order to afford 

everyone an opportunity to speak. 

Written comments will also be accepted. 

The Coast Guard, MARAD and CSLC 

also encourage submittal of comments

notice using one of the methods 

described under ADDRESSES. During the 

public meeting, speakers or the 

audience will not be authorized to set 

up any multimedia equipment (audio/

video and/or projectors) or displays that 

would disrupt testimony of others. 

Background Information 

A notice of application for the 

proposed Cabrillo Port DWP was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 27, 2004 (69 FR 3934). Consult 

that notice for additional information 

regarding the proposed DWP, pipelines 

and the moorings that would be 

installed on the floor of the Pacific 

Ocean offshore of Ventura County, 

California.

A notice of intent to prepare the joint 

DEIS/DEIR was published in the 

Federal Register on February 27, 2004 

(69 FR 9344). Consult that notice for 

additional information regarding the 

criteria that was utilized for the 

environmental analysis in the joint 

DEIS/DEIR. 

Proposed Action 

The Applicant proposes to construct 

and operate an offshore floating storage 

and regasification unit (FSRU) that 

would be moored in Federal waters 

approximately 12.2 nautical miles (14 

statute miles or 22.4 kilometers) 

offshore of Ventura County in 2,900 feet 

(884 meters) of water. As proposed, LNG 

from the Pacific basin would be 

delivered by an LNG carrier to and 

offloaded onto, the FSRU; re-gasified; 

and delivered onshore via two new 21.1 

mile (33.8-kilometer), 24 inch (0.6 

meters) diameter natural gas pipelines 

laid on the ocean floor. These pipelines 

would come onshore at Ormond Beach 

near Oxnard, California to connect with 

the existing Southern California Gas 

Company intrastate pipeline system to 

distribute natural gas throughout the 

Southern California region. The 

facilities would be designed to deliver a 

peak of up to 0.8 billion cubic feet per 

day (bcfd) (22.7 million cubic meters). 

The FSRU would store LNG in three 

Moss spherical tanks. Each tank would 

have a 24 million gallon (91,000 cubic 

meter) LNG storage capacity, and the 

total FSRU LNG storage capacity would 

be 72.1 million gallons (273,000 cubic 

meters). The FSRU would be 

permanently moored, and would use a 

turret system (a tower-like revolving 

structure) to allow the FSRU to 

weathervane (rotate) around a fixed 

point. The FSRU, which would be 

designed for loading LNG from a sideby-side, moored LNG tanker, would be 

shaped like another vessel, doublesided, double-bottomed, 938 feet (286 

meters) long and 213 feet (65 meters) 

wide, with a displacement of 

approximately 190,000 deadweight tons. 

Alternatives 

The DEIS/DEIR examines and assesses 

the environmental impact of the project 

location and pipeline routes of the 

preferred, alternative and the no action 

alternative. In addition to the 

environmental impacts, the DEIS/DEIR 

considers approving, approving with 

conditions or not approving (no action 

alternative) the license application and 

operation. 

As required by the National 

Environmental Policy Act, the Coast 

Guard will also analyze the no action 

alternative as a baseline for comparing 

the impacts of the proposed project. For 

the purposes of this project, the no 

action alternative is defined as not 

approving the Cabrillo Port DWP 

License Application.
