Summary
Golden Pass LNG wants to build a short new pipeline and some equipment in Jefferson County, Texas, to help bring more natural gas to their terminal. The government checked the project’s impact on the environment and found it won’t cause big problems. This means the project can move forward soon, helping keep gas flowing smoothly and safely.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Adds pipeline capacity to Golden Pass
The project would build about 0.22 mile of 42-inch pipeline, a receipt interconnect, and two meter station pads inside the Golden Pass LNG property in Jefferson County, Texas, to move up to 2.6 million dekatherms per day. The stated purpose is to provide flexibility and security of feed gas supply to the Golden Pass LNG Terminal.
FERC finds no significant environmental impact
FERC staff's Environmental Assessment concludes that approval of the Supply Lateral Project would not be a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. That finding permits the project to move forward in the Commission's review process.
