DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP19-19-000]
Magnolia LNG, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed; Magnolia
LNG Production Capacity Amendment
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final supplemental environmental impact
statement (EIS) for the Production Capacity Amendment, proposed by
Magnolia LNG, LLC (Magnolia LNG) in the above-referenced docket.
Magnolia LNG requests authorization to increase the liquefied natural
gas (LNG) production capacity of the previously authorized Magnolia LNG
Project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (Docket No. CP14-347-000) from 8
million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 8.8 MTPA. The increased LNG
production capacity would be achieved through the optimization of
Magnolia LNG's final design for the terminal, including additional and
modified process equipment.
The final supplemental EIS assesses the potential changes to the
air and noise emissions, and our reliability and safety engineering
analyses associated with the construction and operation of the
Production Capacity Amendment from what was presented in the final EIS
in Docket No. CP14-347-000 for the Magnolia LNG Project. The FERC staff
concludes that the proposed modifications, with the additional
mitigation measures recommended in the supplemental EIS, would continue
to avoid or reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S.
Department of Energy participated as cooperating agencies in the
preparation of the supplemental EIS. Cooperating agencies have
jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources
potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the analysis
conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability for the
final supplemental EIS to federal, state, and local government
representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected
landowners and other interested individuals and groups; and newspapers
and libraries in the project area. The final supplemental EIS is only
available in electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from
the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the Environmental Documents page
(https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis.asp). In addition, the
final supplemental EIS may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on
the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link (https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp), click on General Search, and enter the
docket number in the Docket Number field, excluding the last three
digits (i.e., CP19-19). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date

Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC website (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. The eLibrary link
also provides access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription that allows you to keep track of all formal issuances and
submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time you
spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
