Summary
FERC's Office of Energy Projects filed a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC's Stage 5 Expansion Project (CP24-75, CP25-505, CP25-506). The Draft EIS assesses potential environmental effects of the proposed liquefaction facility expansion at the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana. This document initiates a public comment period before any final authorization decision.
What changed
The Draft EIS evaluates the Sabine Pass Stage 5 Expansion Project, covering three related dockets (CP24-75, CP25-505, CP25-506) for proposed liquefaction capacity additions at the existing Sabine Pass LNG terminal. FERC staff analyzed environmental impacts across multiple resource areas including air quality, water resources, wildlife, and cultural resources.
Energy companies involved in or adjacent to the Sabine Pass project should review the Draft EIS to understand potential environmental concerns identified by FERC staff. Affected stakeholders and intervenors may submit comments on the Draft EIS through FERC's eLibrary system. While no compliance deadline is specified, this draft precedes any final authorization decision on the expansion project.
What to do next
- Review Draft EIS contents and identify sections relevant to your interests
- Submit public comments through FERC eLibrary or intervention filings if affected by the project
- Monitor for the Final EIS which will follow the comment period
