Filed Date: 1/26/2015
Accession No: 20150126-3012
Description: Letter inviting Aroostook Band of Micmacs to participate in the review of Downeast LNG Import-Export Project planned by Downeast Liquefaction, LLC under PF14-19.
Information: FILE LIST

Webmaster's comment: Inviting tribal participation in FERC permitting is window dressing, and is no indication that FERC will take tribal cultural and religious issues into consideration.
 
FERC has already demonstrated its violation of NEPA Environmental Justice requirements regarding tribal assets. The Downeast LNG import proposal's Environmental Impact Statement totally ignored tribal religious and cultural assets sitting squarely beneath Downeast LNG's proposed terminal site.

Accession No: 20150127-5026
Description: Comment of Save Passamaquoddy Bay under PF14-19-000 regarding Saint Croix Schoodic Band of Passamaquoddy.
Information: FILE LIST

Summary: FERC entirely failed to invite the Saint Croix Schoodic Band of Passamaquoddy to participate in these proceedingsthe second time FERC has omitted notifying Canadians of Downeast LNG's proposal to add LNG exporting.

In its omissions, FERC is establishing an alarming, inexcusable pattern of NEPA violations that it must correct immediately:

  1. Notify the Saint Croix Schoodic Band of Passamaquoddy of its ability to participate in the process; and
  2. Advertise in the New Brunswick news media FERC's intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement.
