Public Weighs In on Texas LNG Terminal Teardown
Published Date: 7/8/2026
Notice
Summary
Freeport LNG wants to remove some facilities on Quintana Island, Texas, and the government is asking the public to share their thoughts on how this might affect the environment. If you live nearby or care about nature, now’s your chance to speak up before August 3, 2026. This feedback will help decide if the project moves forward and how it might impact the community and environment.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
13 Acres Disturbed and Permanently Maintained
Freeport LNG would disturb about 13 acres inside the terminal fenceline to remove regasification facilities, and would maintain those disturbed acres for permanent operation of the existing liquefaction export facilities. This change alters land use within the terminal footprint.
Construction Schedule and Noise Window
Freeport LNG proposes a roughly 22-month timeline (including design) with about 12 months of removal and modification work. Removal activities are expected about six days per week during daytime hours (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.), with some overnight work possible to increase daytime efficiency.
Opportunity to Comment — Deadline Aug 3, 2026
You can submit written comments about the Regasification Terminal Disconnect Project to FERC by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2026. Use eComment, eFiling, or mail (docket CP03-75-000) to ensure your views on environmental effects, alternatives, or mitigation are considered in the NEPA review.
NEPA Review Could Trigger More Comment Periods
FERC staff will decide whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). If an EA or draft EIS is issued, FERC will publish a notice and open additional public comment periods as part of the NEPA process.
Section 106 Consultation on Historic Properties
FERC is initiating consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act with State Historic Preservation Office(s), interested Indian tribes, and the public to identify and evaluate potential effects on historic properties; findings and consultation status will be documented in the environmental document.
