DOE/EIS-0518: Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Annova LNG Brownsville Project; Cameron County, Texas

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a draft EIS that assesses the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to construct and operate a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, storage, and export facility on the west side of the Brownsville Ship Channel in Cameron County, Texas.

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.)
