The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) invites you to attend one of the virtual public comment
meetings
it will conduct by telephone on the Line 200 and Line 300 Project draft
environmental impact statement.
Driftwood proposes to construct and operate dual 42-inch-diameter
natural gas pipelines originating near the town of Ragley in Beauregard
Parish, Louisiana southward to a proposed receiver facility near the
town of Carlyss in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.
The FERC staff
concludes
that construction and operation of the Project would result in some
adverse environmental impacts. Most of these impacts would be temporary
and occur during construction (e.g., impacts on land use, traffic, and
noise). With the exception of climate change impacts, that are not
characterized in this EIS as significant or
insignificant, we conclude that Project effects would not be significant
based on implementation of Driftwood’s impact avoidance, minimization,
and mitigation measures, as well as their adherence to our
recommendations. Other than the non-significant impacts on environmental
justice communities associated with the construction and operation of
Meter Station 7 and Meter Station 9, we conclude that the Project would
not result in disproportionately high or adverse impacts on
environmental justice communities.
