Aguirre Offshore GasPort Project, Puerto Rico
EPA announced the availability of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that analyzes the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to construct and operate: 1) an offshore marine liquid natural gas receiving facility with a semi-permanent floating storage and regasification unit; and 2) a 4.0 mile-long subsea pipeline connected to the existing on-shore Aguirre Power Complex outside of Jobos Bay, near the towns of Salinas and Guayama, Puerto Rico.
DOE is a cooperating agency in the preparation of the DEIS.
