Summary
Golden Pass LNG wants to change its plan for a gas pipeline in Jefferson County, Texas, and the government is asking the public to share their thoughts on how this might affect the environment.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners May Face Eminent Domain
If you are a landowner who receives this notice, a pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. You are not required to sign an agreement, but if the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent domain to the company and it could initiate condemnation proceedings in court; compensation would be determined by a judge according to state law.
Project Uses Acres and Builds a New Lateral
The proposed project would use about 33 acres during construction and about 17 acres during operation, plus about 10.5 acres for six existing and one new access roads, in Jefferson County, Texas. Phase I would construct a new 1.1-mile, 42-inch-diameter supplemental supply lateral with two 30-inch tie-ins, and Phase II would add an additional meter station for a future receipt manifold.
Public Comment Opportunity and Deadline
The Commission is asking for public comments on environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen impacts; comments must be received by 5:00pm Eastern Time on June 9, 2025. You may submit comments via FERC's eComment, eFiling (docket CP25-205-000), or by mail to the Secretary at the addresses provided in the notice.
Historic-Property Consultation Initiated
FERC is initiating consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act with the State Historic Preservation Office, Indian tribes, and the public to solicit views on potential effects to historic properties; the environmental document will document findings and summarize consultation status.
