Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission or FERC) 

regulations, 18 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 380, the Office of

applications for original licenses for the 

Heidelberg Hydroelectric Project (FERC 

Project No. 13213–003) and Ravenna 

Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 

13214–003). The proposed projects 

would be located on the Kentucky River 

in Kentucky. The Heidelberg Project 

would be located at the Kentucky River 

Authority’s Lock and Dam No. 14, near 

the Town of Heidelberg, Lee County, 

Kentucky. The Ravenna Project would 

be located at the Kentucky River 

Authority’s Lock and Dam No. 12, near 

the Town of Ravenna, Estill County, 

Kentucky. No lands managed by the 

Federal government are located within 

the project boundary of either project. 

Staff prepared a multi-project 

environmental assessment (EA), which 

analyzes the potential environmental 

effects of licensing both projects, and 

concludes that licensing the projects, 

with appropriate environmental 

protection measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action that 

would significantly affect the quality of 

the human environment.

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ is available for viewing on 

the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This 

fact sheet addresses a number of 

typically asked questions, including the 

use of eminent domain and how to 

participate in the Commission’s 

proceedings. 

Summary of the Planned Project 

Eagle LNG proposes to construct, own 

and operate the Jacksonville LNG 

facility located within the City of 

Jacksonville, Florida, on industrially 

zoned land adjacent to the St. Johns 

River. 

The facility would receive 

domestically produced natural gas, 

transported through existing and 

expanded local utility pipelines, and 

utilize super-cooling to create LNG for 

temporary onsite storage. The Project 

would include three liquefaction trains, 

one (possibly two) LNG storage tanks, 

and a marine load-out facility and dock 

on the St. Johns River that could 

accommodate small to mid-size LNG 

vessels and bunkering barges. LNG 

would be periodically loaded for 

transport onto trucks, containers, or 

ocean-going vessels, and marketed for 

use in U.S. vehicular and highhorsepower engines, domestic ship 

fueling (marine bunkering), and 

international export. 

As currently planned, the Jacksonville 

Project would consist of the following 

facilities: 

• Three liquefaction trains, each with 

a capacity of 0.18 million tons per 

annum; 

• inlet natural gas boost compression; 

• interconnect piping (including 

potential non-jurisdictional expansion 

of existing public utility lines); 

• one 30,283 cubic meter (m3) single 

containment LNG storage tank; 

• an LNG vessel docking and loading 

terminal; 

• an LNG truck loading area; 

• flare stack; and 

• power, water, and communications 

facilities (including off-site nonjurisdictional facilities leading to the 

Project site). 

The general location of the Project site 

is shown in Appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

The planned Jacksonville Project 

would encompass a 193 acre site along 

the St. Johns River that is currently 

zoned for industrial development by the 

City of Jacksonville, and located in an 

area that hosts other bulk fuel terminals. 

The Project site includes a submerged 

land lease covering lands extending 

approximately 600 feet from the 

shoreline into the St. Johns River. Based 

on the Project’s initial design, the 

facility construction footprint would 

occupy approximately 40 of the 193 

acres; laydown area requirements 

during construction are included within 

the 40-acres. Eagle LNG is still in the 

planning phase for the Jacksonville 

Project and the required property title 

assignments have not been finalized. 

The EIS Process 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to 

take into account the environmental 

impacts that could result from an action 

whenever it considers the authorization 

of LNG facilities under Section 3a of the 

Natural Gas Act. NEPA also requires us 2

to discover and address concerns the 

public may have about proposals. This 

process is referred to as scoping. The 

main goal of the scoping process is to 

focus the analysis in the EIS on the 

important environmental issues. By this 

notice, the Commission requests public 

comments on the scope of the issues to 

address in the EIS. We will consider all 

filed comments during the preparation 

of the EIS. 

In the EIS we will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

planned Project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• land use; 

• water resources and wetlands; 

• cultural resources; 

• vegetation, fisheries, and wildlife; 

• socioeconomics; 

• air quality and noise; 

• endangered and threatened species; 

• public safety and reliability; and 

• cumulative impacts. 

We will also evaluate possible 

alternatives to the planned Project or 

portions of the Project, and make 

recommendations on how to lessen or 

avoid impacts on the various resource 

areas. 

Although no formal application has 

been filed, we have already initiated our 

NEPA review under the Commission’s 

pre-filing process. The purpose of the

pre-filing process is to encourage early 

involvement of interested stakeholders 

and to identify and resolve issues before 

the FERC receives an application. As 

part of our pre-filing review, we have 

begun to contact some federal and state 

agencies to discuss their involvement in 

the scoping process and the preparation 

of the EIS. In addition, representatives 

from the FERC participated in the 

public open house sponsored by Eagle 

LNG in Jacksonville, Florida in January 

2015 to explain the environmental 

review process and answer questions to 

interested stakeholders. 

The EIS will present our independent 

analysis of the issues. We will publish 

and distribute the draft EIS for public 

comment. After the comment period, we 

will consider all timely comments and 

revise the document, as necessary, 

before issuing a final EIS. To ensure we 

have the opportunity to consider and 

address your comments, please carefully 

follow the instructions in the Public 

Participation section beginning on page 

6 of this notice. 

With this notice, we are asking 

agencies with jurisdiction by law and/ 

or special expertise with respect to the 

environmental issues related to this 

Project to formally cooperate with us in 

the preparation of the EIS.3 Agencies 

that would like to request cooperating 

agency status should follow the 

instructions for filing comments 

provided under the Public Participation 

section of this notice. Currently, the 

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the 

Florida Department of Environmental 

Protection (FDEP) have expressed their 

intention to participate as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of the EIS. 

Consultations Under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

In accordance with the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation’s 

implementing regulations for section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, we are using this 

notice to initiate consultation with the 

Florida State Division of Historical 

Resources (State Historic Preservation 

Office (SHPO)), and to solicit its views 

and those of other government agencies, 

interested Indian tribes, and the public 

on the Project’s potential effects on 

historic properties.4 We will define the 

project-specific Area of Potential Effects 

(APE) in consultation with the SHPO as 

the Project develops. On natural gas 

facility projects, the APE at a minimum 

encompasses all areas subject to ground 

disturbance (examples include 

construction area, contractor storage 

yards, and access roads). Our EIS for 

this Project will document our findings 

on the impacts on historic properties 

and summarize the status of 

consultations under section 106. 

Currently Identified Environmental 

Issues 

We have already identified several 

issues that we think deserve attention 

based on a preliminary review of the 

planned facilities and the 

environmental information provided by 

Eagle LNG. This preliminary list of 

issues may change based on your 

comments and our continued analysis. 

Issued identified include: 

• Potential impacts on recreational 

fishing and aquatic resources in the 

vicinity of Bartram Island and along the 

St Johns River Shipping Channel; 

• potential water quality impact from 

dredging and disposal; 

• visual effects on surrounding areas; 

• public safety and hazards 

associated with the transport of natural 

gas and LNG; and 

• potential impacts and potential 

benefits of construction workforce on 

local housing, infrastructure, public 

services, and economy. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the Project. 

Your comments should focus on the 

potential environmental effects, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen environmental impacts.

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once Eagle LNG files its application 

with the Commission, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are in the ‘‘Document-less 

Intervention Guide’’ under the ‘‘e-filing’’ 

link on the Commission’s Web site. 

Motions to intervene are more fully 

described at http://www.ferc.gov/help/ 

how-to/intervene.asp. Please note that 

the Commission will not accept requests 

for intervenor status at this time. You 

must wait until the Commission 

receives a formal application for the 

Project.
