Project Description
Golden Pass LNG proposes to construct and operate approximately 1.1
miles of 42-inch-diameter natural gas supply lateral pipeline, a
receipt interconnect station, a meter station, and associated
appurtenant facilities, located entirely within the Golden Pass LNG
property boundary, to interconnect the terminal's feed gas system with
a new intrastate pipeline being developed by Trident Intrastate
Pipeline LLC. In addition, Golden Pass LNG would construct a receipt
point tie-in and meter station that would connect to a future, planned
interstate header being developed by Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline
LLC.
Golden Pass would temporarily use 33 acres of land during
construction and 17 acres would permanently impacted for operation.
This would include three existing private access roads, one of which
will be permanently extended; three new permanent access roads; and one
new temporary access road, totaling approximately 10.5 acres.
Background
On May 8, 2025, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Amendment
to the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Supply
Lateral Project. The Notice of Scoping was sent to affected landowners;
federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. We received no
comments on the proposed Project. All substantive comments received
will be addressed in the EA.
