Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. PF06-14-000; COTP Savannah-06-04]
Southern LNG, Inc. and Elba Express Company, L.L.C.; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and U.S. Coast
Guard Letter of Recommendation for the Proposed Elba III Project,
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public
Comment Meetings
March 24, 2006.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) and
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard (Coast
Guard) are in the process of evaluating the Elba III Project planned by
Southern LNG, Inc. and Elba Express Company, L.L.C., both wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Southern Natural Gas Company (SNG). The project would
consist of an expansion of SNG's existing onshore Elba Island Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) Import Terminal on the Savannah River in Georgia, and
construction and operation of onshore natural gas pipeline and
compressor facilities in various counties in Georgia and South
Carolina.
As a part of this evaluation, the FERC staff will prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS) that will address the
environmental impacts of the project. The Commission will use the EIS
in its decision-making process to determine whether or not to authorize
the project. The Coast Guard will assess the safety and security of the
import terminal expansion portion of the project and issue a Letter of
Recommendation. As described below, the FERC and the Coast Guard will
hold
[[Page 16144]]
public comment meetings to allow the public to provide input to these
assessments.
This Notice of Intent (Notice) explains the scoping process that
will be used to gather information on the project from the public and
interested agencies, and summarizes the Coast Guard's process. Your
input will help identify the issues that need to be evaluated in the
EIS and in the Coast Guard's safety and security assessment. Please
note that the scoping period for the project will close on April 24,
2006.
The FERC will be the lead federal agency in the preparation of an
EIS that will satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Two other federal agencies have already
agreed to serve as cooperating agencies during preparation of the EIS:
the Coast Guard and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The COE
(Savannah and Charleston Districts) has agreed to participate as a
cooperating agency in the preparation of this EIS to satisfy its NEPA
responsibilities under section 404 of the Clean Water Act and section
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. In addition, we have invited the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service; the U.S. Department of Commerce, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries
Service; the Georgia Department of Natural Resources; and the South
Carolina Department of Natural Resources to serve as cooperating
agencies in the preparation of this EIS.
With this Notice, we \1\ are asking other Federal, state, and local
agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to
environmental issues in the project area to formally cooperate with us
in the preparation of this EIS. These agencies may choose to
participate once they have evaluated the planned project relative to
their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
described in the Public Participation section of this Notice.
We encourage government representatives to notify their
constituents of this planned project and encourage them to comment on
their areas of concern. Comments on the project may be submitted in
written form or verbally. Instructions for the submission of written
comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this
Notice. In lieu of sending written comments, we invite you to attend
the public scoping meetings that we have scheduled as follows:

The scoping meeting in Pooler, Georgia, will be combined with the
Coast Guard's public meeting regarding the safety and security of the
import terminal expansion. At that meeting, the Coast Guard will
discuss the process for assessing the suitability of the Savannah River
to accommodate increased LNG carrier traffic, and the comprehensive
review of the facility's operations manual, emergency response plan,
and security plan. The Coast Guard's Letter of Recommendation process
is further described below.
This Notice is being sent to Federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; commentors and other interested parties; and
local libraries and newspapers. This includes all landowners who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily
for project purposes, or who own homes within distances defined in the
Commission's regulations of certain aboveground facilities. We
encourage government representatives to notify their constituents of
this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of
concern. To ensure that your comments are considered, please follow the
instructions in the Public Participation section below.
If you are a landowner receiving this Notice, you may be contacted
by an SNG representative about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed pipeline facilities. The
pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the pipeline portion of the project is approved
by the FERC, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain
to secure easements for the facilities. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov. This fact
sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the
use of eminent domain for pipeline facilities and how to participate in
the FERC's proceedings.
Summary of the Planned Project
Southern LNG, Inc. plans to construct and operate an expansion of
its existing Elba Island LNG Import Terminal on the Savannah River in
Georgia (Elba Terminal Expansion), and Elba Express Company, L.L.C.
plans to construct and operate a natural gas transmission pipeline in
Georgia and South Carolina (Elba Express Pipeline). The general
location of the project is shown in appendix 1.
Elba Terminal Expansion
Southern LNG Inc. plans to construct and operate an expansion to
its existing LNG import terminal on Elba Island near Savannah, in
Chatham County, Georgia. The expansion would (a) more than double the
site's LNG storage capacity by adding 400,000 cubic meters
[[Page 16145]]
(m3) of new storage; (b) substantially increase the
facility's existing vaporization capacity; (c) upgrade the terminal's
send-out meter station to increase the natural gas send-out capacity of
the facility by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd);
and (d) modify the terminal's LNG tanker berthing and unloading
facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide faster and
simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. All of the planned
facilities would be located entirely within the existing 190-acre
facility site on Elba Island.
The LNG terminal expansion would be constructed in two phases, A
and B. Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would
include the following facilities:
a. One new 200,000 m3 LNG storage tank, one associated
boil-off gas condenser, and three boil-off gas compressors;
b. Three submerged combustion vaporizers, each with a peak capacity
of 180 MMcfd, providing an incremental peak send-out capacity of 540
MMcfd (or a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full
facility at the completion of phase A); and
c. Modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger
LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The
modifications to the dual berthing slip include:
Adding four mooring dolphins (two for each berth);
Dredging approximately 20,500 cubic yards of material from
the slope at the back of the existing slip (and disposing of dredged
material into the existing spoil disposal area adjacent to the
terminal); and
Installing a sheetpile bulkhead at the back of the slip.
These modifications would allow the slip to accommodate larger LNG
tankers with an approximate overall length of 345 meters (m) (compared
to the current 288 m), breadth of 55 m (compared to the current 49 m),
design laden draft of 12.0 m (compared to the current 11.7 m), and
displacement of 177,000 metric tons (compared to the current 128,000
metric tons).
Phase B would be completed no later than December 2012 and would
include the following facilities:
a. One new 200,000 m3 LNG storage tank; and
b. Three submerged combustion vaporizers (two for service and one
spare), each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing an
incremental peak send-out capacity of 360 MMcfd (or a total peak send-
out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of
phase B).
Each of the two phases would include all necessary ancillary
equipment including related pumps, piping, controls and appurtenances,
and associated systems (electrical, mechanical, civil, instrumentation,
hazard detection, and fire protection) and buildings necessary to
accommodate the associated tanks and vaporizer units. Southern LNG
estimates that following the expansion, the terminal would receive LNG
shipments about every 5 to 10 days, depending on natural gas demand and
LNG carrier size.
Elba Express Pipeline
Elba Express Company, L.L.C. plans to construct and operate about
188 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in
Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two
phases, extending between an interconnection with SNG near Port
Wentworth, Chatham County, Georgia on the southern end and an
interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation
(Transco) in Anderson County, South Carolina on the northern end.
The first phase is proposed to be placed in service as early as
January 2010 with a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, and would consist of:
a. The ``Southern Segment,'' which includes about 104.6 miles of
42-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing
SNG Wrens Compressor Station (Wrens) in Jefferson County, Georgia (to
be collocated with the existing SNG pipelines); and
b. The ``Northern Segment,'' which includes about 83.8 miles of 36-
inch-diameter pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnects with
Transco in Hart County, Georgia, and Anderson County, South Carolina.
The second phase would also involve construction and operation of a
new compressor station of about 1,000 horsepower near Woodcliff,
Screven County, Georgia, where SNG currently operates other aboveground
facilities. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design
capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd, and is proposed to be
placed in service no later than December 2012 (corresponding to the in-
service date for Phase B of the Elba terminal expansion).
Land Requirements for Construction
Construction workspace for the Elba Terminal Expansion is
undetermined at this time, but would be located entirely within the
existing 190-acre facility site. SNG estimates that construction of the
Elba Express Pipeline facilities would require about 1,600 acres of
land, not including warehouses, staging areas, pipe storage yards,
contractor yards, and access roads. The typical construction right-of-
way for the Southern Segment would be 125 feet wide (for the 42-inch-
diamter pipeline) and would overlap the existing SNG rights-of-way by
varying widths based upon the existing right-of-way configuration. The
typical construction right-of-way for the Northern Segment would be 110
feet wide (for the 36-inch-diameter pipeline) and, as currently
planned, would not be located adjacent to existing rights-of-way.
Temporary extra workspace would also be required outside the typical
construction right-of-way at certain feature crossings (e.g., roads,
railroads, waterbodies) and in areas requiring extensive topsoil
segregation or special construction techniques.
The construction and operation workspace at the compressor station
would be on a 15-acre site and used for certain miscellaneous
facilities (i.e., metering, mainline valves, pig launching and
receiving equipment). This site would be primarily within, or adjacent
to, the proposed right-of-way.
Following construction, new permanent right-of-way would be
required for the pipeline, compressor station, and miscellaneous
facilities. Temporary workspace that is used outside existing rights-
of-way would be restored and allowed to revert to its current use.
The EIS Process
NEPA requires the FERC to take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from an action when it considers whether an
LNG import terminal expansion or an interstate natural gas pipeline
should be approved. The FERC will use the EIS to consider the
environmental impacts that could result if it issues project
authorizations to SNG under sections 3 and 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
NEPA also requires us to discover and address concerns the public may
have about proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The
main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EIS on
the important environmental issues and reasonable alternatives. With
this Notice, we are requesting public comments on the scope of the
issues to be addressed in the EIS. All comments received will be
considered during preparation of the EIS.
In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of the
project. We will also evaluate possible alternatives
[[Page 16146]]
to the planned project or portions of the project, and make
recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on various resource
areas. The EIS will be used by the Commission in its decision-making
process to determine whether the project is consistent with the public
interest. If it finds such, it will issue an order authorizing the
project.
Our independent analysis of the issues will be included in a draft
EIS. The draft EIS will be mailed to Federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes; commentors; other interested
parties; local libraries and newspapers; and the FERC's official
service list for this proceeding. A 45-day comment period will be
allotted for review of the draft EIS. We will consider all timely
comments on the draft EIS and revise the document, as necessary, before
issuing a final EIS.
Although no formal application has been filed with the FERC, we
have already initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's Pre-
Filing Process. The purpose of the Pre-Filing Process is to encourage
early involvement of interested stakeholders and to identify and
resolve issues before an application is filed with the FERC. The Coast
Guard, which will be responsible for reviewing the safety and security
aspects of the planned terminal expansion and regulating safety and
security if the project is approved, has initiated its review as well.
Coast Guard Letter of Recommendation Process
In accordance with the requirements of Title 33 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, part 127.009 (33 CFR 127.009), the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port (COTP) Savannah is preparing a Letter of
Recommendation as to the suitability of the Savannah River for a
potential increase in LNG marine traffic. The Letter of Recommendation
is in response to a Letter of Intent submitted by Southern LNG, Inc. to
expand its LNG import terminal facility on Elba Island near Savannah,
Georgia. The COTP Savannah is soliciting written comments and related
material, and will hold a public meeting in conjunction with the FERC
seeking comments, pertaining specifically to maritime safety and
security aspects of the proposed LNG facility expansion. In preparation
for issuance of a Letter of Recommendation and the completion of
certain other regulatory mandates, the COTP Savannah will consider
comments received from the public as input into a formalized risk
assessment process. This process will assess the safety and security
aspects of the facility, adjacent port areas, and navigable waterways.
Background and Purpose
In accordance with the requirements of 33 CFR 127.007, Southern
LNG, Inc. submitted a Letter of Intent on January 12, 2006, to expand
its LNG import facility on Elba Island near Savannah, Georgia. This
portion of the overall project is referred to as the Elba III Terminal
Expansion Project.
Southern LNG, Inc.'s Elba Island facility is designed for marine
receipt of LNG for storage, re-gasification, and delivery into the
interstate natural gas pipeline network. The proposed expansion is
described in the Summary of Planned Project--LNG Terminal Expansion
section of this Notice. The Coast Guard exercises regulatory authority
over LNG facilities which affect the safety and security of port areas
and navigable waterways under Executive Order 10173, the Magnuson Act
(50 U.S.C. 191), the Port and Waterways Safety Act of 1972, as amended
(33 U.S.C. 1221 et seq.) and the Maritime Transportation Security Act
of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701). The Coast Guard is responsible for matters
related to navigation safety, vessel engineering and safety standards,
and all matters pertaining to the safety of facilities or equipment
located in or adjacent to navigable waters up to the last valve
immediately before the receiving tanks. The Coast Guard also has
authority for LNG facility security plan review, approval, and
compliance verification as provided in 33 CFR part 105, and
recommendation for siting as it pertains to the management of vessel
traffic in and around the LNG facility.
Upon receipt of a Letter of Intent from an owner or operator
intending to build or expand an LNG facility, the Coast Guard COTP
conducts an analysis that results in a Letter of Recommendation issued
to the owner or operator and to the state and local governments having
jurisdiction, addressing the suitability of the waterway to accommodate
an increase of LNG carrier traffic. Specifically, the Letter of
Recommendation addresses the suitability of the waterway based on:
The physical location and layout of the facility and its
berthing and mooring arrangements;
The LNG vessels characteristics and the frequency of LNG
shipments to the facility;
Commercial, industrial, environmentally sensitive, and
residential areas in and adjacent to the waterway used by LNG vessels
en route to the facility;
Density and character of marine traffic on the waterway;
Bridge or other manmade obstructions in the waterway;
Depth of water;
Tidal range;
Natural hazards, including rocks and sandbars;
Underwater pipelines and cables; and
Distance of berthed LNG vessels from the channel, and the
width of the channel.
In addition, the Coast Guard will review and approve the updated
facility operations manual and emergency response plan (33 CFR
127.019), as well as the updated facility security plan (33 CFR
105.410). The Coast Guard will also provide input to other Federal,
state, and local government agencies reviewing the project. Under an
interagency agreement, the Coast Guard will provide input to FERC--the
lead Federal agency for authorizing the siting and construction of
onshore LNG facilities--on the maritime safety and security aspects of
the Elba III Terminal Expansion Project. To help FERC make sure that
the EIS covers the Coast Guard's Letter of Recommendation and other
actions under this proposal, the Coast Guard will serve as a
cooperating agency.
In order to complete a thorough analysis and fulfill the regulatory
mandates cited above, the COTP Savannah will be conducting a formal
risk assessment and evaluation of various safety and security aspects
associated with the Elba III Terminal Expansion Project. This
assessment will be accomplished through workshops focusing on waterways
safety, port security, and consequence management, with involvement
from a broad cross-section of government and port stakeholders with
expertise in each of the respective areas. The workshops will be by
invitation only, but comments received during the public comment period
will be considered as input into the risk assessment process.
Currently Identified Environmental Issues
We have already identified issues that we think deserve attention
based on attendance at SNG's Open House meetings, verbal comments and
comment letters received thus far, a preliminary review of the project
area, and information provided by SNG. This preliminary list of issues
will be revised based on your comments and our continuing analyses.
Conversion of the planned pipeline right-of-way from
private/commercial and forested land uses to pipeline

easement, and associated economic impact;
Potential impacts on watersheds and associated wetlands,
tributaries and streams, and sensitive aquatic and terrestrial
wildlife;
Potential biological impacts from ballast water intake by
the LNG carriers;
Potential impacts on federally listed threatened and
endangered species;
Potential impacts on essential fish habitat;
Consistency with Georgia Coastal Zone Management program;
Potential impacts on air quality resulting from operation
of the pipeline compressor station, expanded LNG terminal, and
increased LNG carrier traffic;
Potential impacts of increased LNG carrier traffic and
associated support vessels on other river users;
Potential impacts on cultural resources;
Risks associated with the transport and storage of LNG;
Alternative locations for the LNG terminal expansion and
pipeline route alignment, respectively; and
Assessment of the cumulative effects of the project when
combined with other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future
actions in the project area.
Public Participation
You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the planned project. By becoming a
commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EIS and considered by
the Commission. Your comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable alternatives (including alternative
facility sites and pipeline routes), and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. In addition, the Coast Guard encourages you to
submit written comments and related material pertaining specifically to
marine safety and security aspects associated with the proposed LNG
facility expansion. To maintain a single administrative record and
public comment repository, all original written comments and related
material associated with the Coast Guard's Letter of Recommendation
process must be submitted to the FERC. The more specific your comments,
the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are timely
and properly recorded, please follow these instructions:
Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Magalie
R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426;

Branch 1, DG2E;
Reference Docket No. PF06-14-000 on the original and both
copies; and
Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before April 24, 2006.
If you submit comments by mail, submit them in an unbound format,
no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches, suitable for copying and electronic
filing. However, the Commission strongly encourages electronic filing
of any comments in response to this Notice. For information on
electronically filing comments, please see the instructions on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under the ``e-Filing''
link and the link to the User's Guide as well as information in 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii). Before you can file comments you will need to
create a free account, which can be accomplished online.
Comment letters received by the FERC regarding the Coast Guard's
safety and security assessment and Letter of Recommendation will be
forwarded to the Coast Guard. Although original written comments must
be submitted to the FERC, you may submit an identical copy of your
written comments to: Commanding Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety
Unit Savannah, 100 W. Oglethorpe, Savannah, GA 31401.
Marine Safety Unit Savannah maintains a file for this Notice.
Comments and material received will become part of this file and will
be available for inspection and copying at Marine Safety Unit Savannah
between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. The Coast Guard's comment period will run concurrently with
the FERC's 30-day public scoping period.
The public scoping meetings (details provided above) are designed
to provide another opportunity to offer comments on the proposed
project. Interested groups and individuals are encouraged to attend the
meetings and to present comments on the environmental issues that they
believe should be addressed in the EIS. A transcript of each meeting
will be generated so that your comments will be accurately recorded.
To provide the public an opportunity to comment on the planned LNG
facility expansion, the Coast Guard will hold a public meeting in
conjunction with the FERC staff in Pooler, Georgia, on April 10, 2006.
Organizations and members of the public may provide oral statements
regarding the suitability of the Savannah River for an increase in LNG
vessel traffic at the Pooler public meeting. In the interest of time
and use of the public meeting facility, oral statements may be limited
to five minutes (depending on the number of speakers). Persons wishing
to make oral statements should notify the FERC when signing in at the
meeting. Written comments may be submitted at the meeting or to the
FERC as discussed above.
When SNG formally files its application to site, construct, and
operate its proposed project, the Commission will publish a Notice of
Application in the Federal Register. The applicant will provide a copy
of this notice to affected landowners within 3 days of its issuance.
The Notice of Application will establish a deadline for interested
parties to intervene in the proceeding. Because the Commission's Pre-
Filing Process occurs before an application to begin a proceeding is
officially filed, petitions to intervene during this process are
premature and will not be accepted by the Commission.
Environmental Mailing List and EIS Format
If you do not wish to remain on the environmental mailing list to
receive notices or the EIS for this planned project, please return the
mailer attached as appendix 2.
To reduce printing and mailing costs, the draft and final EIS will
be issued in both compact disk (CD-ROM) and hard copy formats. The FERC
strongly encourages the use of CD-ROM format in its publication of
large documents. Thus, all recipients will automatically receive the
EIS on CD-ROM. If you wish to receive a paper copy of the draft EIS
instead of a CD-ROM, you must indicate that choice on the return
mailer.
