EIS-0510: Final Environmental Impact Statement

Calcasieu Pass Project, Cameron Parish, Louisiana

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) prepared a final EIS that assesses the potential environmental impacts of the construction and operation of 1) a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal; and 2) a 23.8-mile, 42-inch-diameter pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

DOE is a cooperating agency in preparing the EIS. DOE, Office of Fossil Energy, has an obligation under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to authorize the import and export of natural gas, including LNG, unless it finds that the import or export is not consistent with the public interest. (DOE's participation as a cooperating agency and assignment of a document number are not a commitment that DOE will adopt or supplement the EIS.)
