FERC extends Eagle LNG scoping period

The United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a supplemental notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed Eagle LNG project in the City of Jacksonville. 

As it stands in FERC’s notice, the environmental mailing list was not provided with the copy of the initial NOI, therefore the commission issued the supplemental notice of intent in order to extend the scoping period and provide additional time for interested parties to file comments on environmental issues.

The initial NOI had March 26 as the closing date of the scoping period and that date has now been pushed back to April 24, informed FERC.

At full build-out, the Jacksonville project would include three LNG trains having the capacity to produce 300,000 gallons of LNG per train (0.18 Mtpa per train; total of 0.55 Mtpa), from approximately 25 MMcf/d of natural gas per train. Current plans include one LNG storage tank, a marine load-out facility and dock that could accommodate small- to mid-size LNG vessels as well as bunkering barges (for domestic ship fueling at the Port of Jacksonville), and a truck load-out facility.
