Jordan Cove Energy Project, L.P.; Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline
Project, L.P.; Notice of Public Meetings To Take Comments on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Jordan Cove Energy and
Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline Project
September 19, 2008.
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) is issuing this notice to announce a series of public
meetings to take comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) issued by the FERC on August 29, 2008, for the proposed Jordan
Cove Energy liquefied natural gas (LNG) Project and Pacific Connector
Gas Pipeline Project. The draft EIS addresses the proposal by Jordan
Cove Energy Project, L.P. (Jordan Cove) to construct and operate an LNG
import terminal on Coos Bay in Coos County, Oregon, in Docket No. CP07-
444-000, and the proposal by Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, L.P. to
construct a 230-mile-long natural gas sendout pipeline that would cross
portions of Coos, Douglas, Jackson, and Klamath Counties, Oregon, in
Docket No. CP07-441-000. The proposed pipeline would connect the
proposed Jordan Cove LNG terminal with existing interstate pipeline
systems operated by Williams Northwest Pipeline Corporation, Gas
Transmission Northwest Corporation, Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company,
and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and with an existing local
distribution pipeline system operated by Avista Corporation.
The FERC staff produced the draft EIS in cooperation with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security Coast Guard, U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land
Management and Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of
Transportation, and Douglas County, Oregon. The draft EIS was delivered
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and mailed to various
federal, state, and local government agencies, elected officials,
affected landowners, regional environmental organizations, Indian
tribes, local libraries and newspapers, intervenors, and other
interested parties.
The issuance of the draft EIS was noticed in the Federal Register
on September 5, 2008 (73 FR 51815). The deadline for comments on the
draft EIS is December 4, 2008. In addition to, or in lieu of, sending
