  • The Weakest Link: the Consistent Refusal to Consider Far-Removed Indirect Effects of the Expansion of Lng Terminals
    RHODES FINAL 11/16/17 THE WEAKEST LINK: THE CONSISTENT REFUSAL TO CONSIDER FAR-REMOVED INDIRECT EFFECTS OF THE EXPANSION OF LNG TERMINALS Synopsis: The D.C. Circuit has recently ruled on numerous cases challenging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) approval of the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals to allow both export and import activity. Much of its analysis has focused on the delegation of authority between the De- partment of Energy (DOE) and FERC under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Envi- ronmental groups raised challenges to the Environmental Assessment (EA) com- pleted by FERC in each case, arguing that FERC failed to adequately consider direct and indirect effects of the expansion. The indirect effects would arise via a chain of events ultimately depending on the increased production and consump- tion of LNG. In each case, the Court has pointed out that FERC only has authority to regulate the expansion of the facilities themselves. Without approval by the DOE to allow the additional import or export at the individual terminal at issue, FERC’s approval can cause no indirect effects. Moreover, the Court has reiterated multiple times that since FERC’s approval does not cause these indirect effects, but the DOE’s approval does, these suits should have been brought against the DOE. In this note, I discuss one of these cases, EarthReports v. FERC, at length, as well as incorporate portions of other similar cases to come to an understanding regarding what steps potential challengers to similar approvals should take. If challengers hope to convince a court, particularly the D.C.

Mr. Stephen L. Johnson, US EPA Headquarters Mr Oonald Welsh - EPA Region 3 Per letter from Peter Gold, below, I am resubmitting my appeal to the EPA and also the appeal on behalf of citizens of High Risk Communities (scroll down to appeal email sent July 24,2007, sent per instructions from MOE). I have also included a "big picture" drawing of the situation regarding this appeal. This "big picture" illustrates the situation at Cove Point and provides an integrated view of our concerns which have been detailed in the attached documents previously submitted to MOE and EPA. This appeal also reiterates the emphasis that must be placed on the "big picture" which affects us all, not just Cove Point. Human health, the environment, Homeland Security, and Maryland's seafood commerce are just a few of the reasons why we are appealing to regulators to look at this perspective to do the right thing. This means putting human health and the environment at the forefront. The reason EPA and MOE were established are evident in the agency titles and in your mission statements.

  • Dominion Cove Point LNG, 2009
    Dominion Cove Point LNG Page 1 of 2 Dominion Cove Point LNG Dominion Cove Point LNG is located on the Chesapeake Bay in Lusby, Maryland, south of Baltimore. It is one of the nation's largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facilities. Dominion acquired Cove Point from Williams on Sept. 5, 2002, and began receiving ships in the summer of 2003. In 2009, Dominion finished an expansion project that increased Cove Point's storage and production capacity by nearly 80 percent. Explore the left-margin links to learn more about the facility and LNG. Dominion Cove Point will play an increasingly critical role in coming years. Natural gas is the energy of choice for many Americans, and demand is expected to grow through the next decade. Although there are vast reserves of natural gas in the United States, many are not yet available. Reserves in a number of other countries are available and for sale, but the gas has to be transported. The most efficient way to transport natural gas across the ocean is to liquefy it and transport it in specially built ships. Dominion Cove Point is strategically located where it can receive transport vessels, store the LNG onshore, then transform it back to gas when it is needed to meet demand. Facility Operation Dominion Cove Point has a storage capacity of 14.6 billion cubic feet (BCF) and a daily send-out capacity of 1.8 BCF. The terminal connects, via its own pipeline, to the major Mid-Atlantic gas transmission systems of Transcontinental Gas Pipeline, Columbia Gas Transmission and Dominion Transmission.
