Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP07–62–000; CP07–63–000] 

AES Sparrows Point LNG, LLC; MidAtlantic Express, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of the Revised Draft Final 

General Conformity Determination for 

Pennsylvania for the Proposed 

Sparrows Point LNG Terminal and 

Pipeline Project 

March 1, 2010. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared this revised 

draft Final General Conformity 

Determination (GCD) for Pennsylvania 

to assess the potential air quality 

impacts associated with the 

construction and operation of a 

liquefied natural gas (LNG) import 

terminal and natural gas pipeline 

proposed by AES Sparrows Point LNG, 

LLC and Mid-Atlantic Express, LLC, 

collectively referred to as AES, in the 

above-referenced dockets. A separate 

Final General Conformity Determination 

was issued for Maryland on December 

29, 2009. 

This revised draft Final GCD was 

prepared to satisfy the requirements of 

the Clean Air Act. The FERC staff 

concludes that the Project will achieve 

conformity in Pennsylvania. If 

significant new comments are received 

by the end of the 30-day public 

comment period, FERC staff will issue 

a Final GCD to address any changes 

necessary and respond to comments. If 

no new significant comments are 

received, FERC staff will issue a public 

notice identifying this draft Final GCD 

as final. 

Copies of this revised draft Final GCD 

have been mailed to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region III, the Maryland Department of 

Natural Resources, the Maryland 

Department of Environment, the 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection, and the 

Virginia Department of Environmental 

Quality. 

The revised draft Final GCD for 

Pennsylvania addresses the potential air 

quality impacts from the construction 

and operation of the following LNG 

terminal and natural gas pipeline 

facilities: 

• A ship unloading facility, with two 

berths, capable of receiving LNG ships 

with capacities up to 217,000 m3; 

• Three 160,000 m3 (net capacity) 

full-containment LNG storage tanks; 

• A closed-loop shell and tube heat 

exchanger vaporization system; 

• Various ancillary facilities 

including administrative offices, 

warehouse, main control room, security 

building, and a platform control room; 

• Meter and regulation station within 

the LNG Terminal site; 

• Dredging an approximate 118 acre 

area in the Patapsco River to 45 feet 

below mean lower low water to 

accommodate the LNG vessels and 

transport of the processed dredge 

material to its disposal location; and 

• Approximately 88 miles of 30-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline 

(approximately 48 miles in Maryland 

and 40 miles in Pennsylvania), a pig 

launcher and receiver facility at the 

beginning and ending of the pipeline, 10 

mainline valves, and three meter and 

regulation stations, one at each of three 

interconnection sites at the end of the 

pipeline. 

The revised draft Final GCD has been 

placed in the public files of the FERC 

and is available for public viewing on 

the FERC’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. A 

limited number of copies of the revised 

draft Final GCD are available for

must also serve a copy of the document 

on that resource agency. 

k. This application is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

l. The Project facilities would include 

10 OPT PowerBuoy wave-powered 

generating units attached to seabed 

anchors, tendon lines, subsurface floats, 

and catenary mooring lines. The 

PowerBuoy units would be deployed in 

an array of three to four rows oriented 

parallel to the shore and would occupy 

about 0.25 square mile of the Pacific 

Ocean. Each PowerBuoy would have a 

maximum diameter of 36 feet, extend 

29.5 feet above the water surface, and 

have a draft of 115 feet. 

A power/fiber optic cable would exit 

the bottom of each PowerBuoy, 

descending to the seabed in a lazy ‘‘S’’ 

shape with subsurface floats attached to 

the cable and a clump weight at the 

seabed. The 10 PowerBuoy units would 

be connected to a single Underwater 

Substation Pod (USP) via power/fiberoptic lines. The USP would be about 6 

feet in diameter and 15 feet in length, 

and would rest on the seabed below the 

PowerBuoys, held in place with precured concrete ballast blocks. A 

submarine transmission cable, buried in 

the seabed to a depth of 3 to 6 feet, 

would extend from the USP to an 

existing wastewater discharge pipe. The 

submarine cable would extend through 

the wastewater pipe to an underground 

vault, which would be constructed at 

the existing turn-around at the end of 

Sparrow Park Road, immediately inland 

of the sand dunes. At the vault, the 

subsea transmission cable would exit 

the effluent pipe, transition to an 

underground cable, and reenter the 

effluent pipe. 

The underground transmission cable 

would continue within the effluent pipe 

eastward for approximately 3 miles, 

where it would connect to the Douglas 

Electric Cooperative transmission line at 

a proposed shore station. The shore 

station would consist of a 100- to 200- 

square foot building. 

m. A copy of the application is 

available for review at the Commission 

in the Public Reference Room or may be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ 

link. Enter the docket number excluding 

the last three digits in the docket 

number field to access the document.

n. Scoping Process: 

The Commission intends to prepare 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) on 

the project in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act. The 

EA will consider both site-specific and 

cumulative environmental impacts and 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action. 

Scoping Meetings 

FERC staff will conduct one daytime 

scoping meeting and one evening 

scoping meeting. The daytime scoping 

meeting will focus on resource agency 

and non-governmental organization 

concerns, while the evening scoping 

meeting is primarily for public input. 

All interested individuals, 

organizations, and agencies are invited 

to attend one or both of the meetings, 

and to assist the staff in identifying the 

scope of the environmental issues that 

should be analyzed in the EA. The times 

and locations of these meetings are as 

follows: 

Evening Scoping Meeting: 

Date and Time: Wednesday, April 7, 

2010, at 7 p.m. (PST), 

Location: Reedsport High School, 

2260 Longwood Drive, Reedsport, 

Oregon 97467. 

Daytime Scoping Meeting: 

Date and Time: Thursday, April 8, 

2010, at 2 p.m. (PST), 

Location: Salem Conference Center, 

Croisan Room, 200 Commercial 

Street SE., Salem, Oregon 97301. 

Copies of the Scoping Document 

outlining the subject areas to be 

addressed in the EA were distributed to 

the parties on the Commission’s mailing 

list. Copies of the Scoping Document 

will be available at the scoping meeting 

or may be viewed on the Web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link 

[see item (m) above]. 

Environmental Site Review 

The Applicant and FERC staff will 

conduct a project environmental site 

review beginning at 1 p.m. (PST) on 

April 7, 2010. All interested 

individuals, organizations, and agencies 

are invited to attend. All participants 

should meet at the Reedsport City Hall 

at 451 Winchester Avenue, Reedsport, 

Oregon 97467. All participants are 

responsible for their own transportation 

to the site. Please notify George Wolff, 

Reedsport OPT Wave Park, LLC at (609) 

730–0400, ext. 238 or 

gwolff@oceanpowertech.com by March 

25, 2010, if you plan to attend the 

environmental site review. 

Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, the staff will: 

(1) Summarize the environmental issues 

tentatively identified for analysis in the 

EA; (2) solicit from the meeting 

participants all available information, 

especially quantifiable data, on the 

resources at issue; (3) encourage 

statements from experts and the public 

on issues that should be analyzed in the 

EA, including viewpoints in opposition 

to, or in support of, the staff’s 

preliminary views; (4) determine the 

resource issues to be addressed in the 

EA; and (5) identify those issues that 

require a detailed analysis, as well as 

those issues that do not require a 

detailed analysis.
