Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said it will prepare an environmental assessment that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Freeport LNG train 4 project involving construction and operation of facilities in Brazoria, Texas.
The commission will use the EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the planned project is in the public interest.
FERC revealed in its notice that the scoping process is open and it is looking to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project.
All comments regarding the proposed project are due September 18, 2015.
Freeport LNG intends to add a fourth liquefaction unit to Freeport LNG’s natural gas liquefaction facilities on Quintana Island in Brazoria County, Texas.
The Freeport LNG train 4 project would be located west and adjacent to the facilities authorized and currently under construction for the phase II modification project and liquefaction project, which comprises three liquefaction trains and related facilities. Train 4 would be within the existing Freeport LNG site boundary.
Freeport LNG indicates that the Train 4 project would provide additional liquefaction capacity of approximately 5.1 million metric tons per annum of LNG for export.
