DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Lake Charles 

Liquefaction Project 

Trunkline Gas Company, LLC ............................................................................................................................. Docket Nos. CP14–119–000. 

Lake Charles LNG Company, LLC ....................................................................................................................... CP14–120–000. 

Lake Charles LNG Export Company, LLC ........................................................................................................... CP14–122–000. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Lake Charles Liquefaction 

Project, proposed by Trunkline Gas 

Company, LLC (Trunkline), Lake 

Charles LNG Company, LLC, and Lake 

Charles LNG Export Company, LLC in 

the above-referenced dockets. Trunkline 

requests authorization to construct, 

install, and operate new natural gas 

pipeline and compression facilities and 

meter stations; modify certain existing 

pipeline facilities; modify certain 

compressor and meter stations; and 

abandon one compressor unit in the 

states of Arkansas, Mississippi, and 

Louisiana (collectively referred to as the 

Non-Liquefaction Facilities). Lake 

Charles LNG Company, LLC and Lake 

Charles LNG Export Company, LLC 

(collectively referred to as Lake Charles 

LNG) jointly request authorization to 

site, construct, and operate new 

liquefaction facilities adjacent to an 

existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) 

terminal located in Calcasieu Parish, 

Louisiana, and to construct and operate 

certain facility modifications at the 

existing LNG terminal. The new 

liquefaction facilities would have a 

design production capacity of 16.45 

million metric tons of LNG per annum. 

Lake Charles LNG Company, LLC also 

requests authorization to abandon 

certain terminal facilities previously 

certificated under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA) section 7; abandon services 

provided under its existing FERC Gas 

Tariff and Certificates of Public 

Convenience and Necessity; cancel its 

FERC Gas Tariff, including all rate 

schedules therein; and convert such 

certificated facilities and operation 

under NGA section 3, so that the 

entirety of the company’s facilities and 

operations are authorized solely under 

NGA section 3. 

The draft EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of construction 

and operation of the Lake Charles 

Liquefaction Project in accordance with 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The FERC 

staff concludes that approval of the 

proposed project would have some 

adverse environmental impacts; 

however, most of these impacts would 

be reduced to less-than-significant 

levels with the implementation of Lake 

Charles LNG’s and Trunkline’s 

proposed mitigation and the additional 

measures recommended in the draft EIS. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Department of 

Energy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

and U.S. Department of Transportation 

participated as cooperating agencies in 

the preparation of the draft EIS. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by a 

proposal and participate in the National 

Environmental Policy Act analysis. 

Although the cooperating agencies 

provided input on the conclusions and 

recommendations presented in the draft 

EIS, the agencies will present their own 

conclusions and recommendations in 

their respective records of decision or 

determinations for the project. 

The draft EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction, modification, and 

operation of the following project 

facilities: 

• Three liquefaction trains, each with 

a production capacity sufficient to 

produce 5.48 million metric tons per 

annum of LNG for export (each train 

would contain metering and gas 

treatment facilities, liquefaction and 

refrigerant units, safety and control 

systems, and associated infrastructure); 

• modifications and upgrades at the 

existing LNG terminal; 

• about 0.5 mile of 48-inch-diameter 

feed gas line to supply natural gas to the 

liquefaction facility from existing gas 

transmission pipelines; 

• approximately 17.9 miles of 24- and 

42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline; 

• a new 98,685 horsepower (hp) 

compressor station; 

• abandonment of a 3,000-hp 

compressor unit, installation of a 

15,002-hp unit, and piping 

modifications at one existing 

compressor station; 

• modification of station piping at 

three other existing compressor stations; 

• five new meter stations and 

modifications and upgrades of five 

existing meter stations; 

• modification of certain existing 

pipeline facilities; and

filing comments. 

• construction of miscellaneous 

auxiliary and appurtenant facilities. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

draft EIS to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners; other 

interested individuals and nongovernmental organizations; 

newspapers and libraries in the project 

area; and parties to this proceeding. 

Paper copy versions of this EIS were 

mailed to those specifically requesting 

them; all others received a compact disk 

version. In addition, the draft EIS is 

available for public viewing on the 

FERC’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) using 

the eLibrary link. A limited number of 

hardcopies are available for distribution 

and public inspection at: Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, Public 

Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., 

Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202)

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (Title 18 Code of Federal 

Regulations Part 385.214).1 Only

The Commission grants affected 

landowners and others with 

environmental concerns intervenor 

status upon showing good cause by 

stating that they have a clear and direct 

interest in this proceeding that no other 

party can adequately represent. Simply 

filing environmental comments will not 

give you intervenor status, but you do 

not need intervenor status to have your 

comments considered.
