| Jun 2 | Filed By: Downeast Liquefaction, LLC Downeast LNG, Inc. Downeast Pipeline, LLC Summary: DeLNG's Rob Wyatt requests yet another — the third — permitting abeyance, lasting until 2016 September 30th. FERC never responds to such requests, yet provides a de facto abeyance. Thus, when this third abeyance finally expires, DeLNG will have been in permitting abeyance for 11 months. In this filing, Downeast LNG pretends to be making progress with negotiations for a sale of the project, and claiming it will submit a revised Resource Report 5 (Socioeconomics) on or before June 6. If DeLNG actually makes such a submission, then the project is not actually in abeyance, so why ask for one? Perhaps it is because refiling Resource Report 5 will cost them nearly nothing to prepare, and they want to make it appear to FERC and the public that Downeast LNG is actually alive and well. In all probability, DeLNG's stockholders are still frantically hoping to find some deep pockets and shallow minds to waste even more money on this boondoggle, and hope that this latest delay tactic fantasy will somehow come true. |
| Jun 7 | Filed By: Downeast Liquefaction, LLC Downeast LNG, Inc. Downeast Pipeline, LLC Summary: DeLNG totally omits any economic impacts of the project on neighboring communities in New Brunswick, Canada. |
Filed By: Individual No Affiliation [Brian William Flynn] Summary: Brian Flynn points out to FERC that DeLNG's Revised Resource Report 5 (Socioeconomics) fails to address impacts on Canadian communities and is incomplete. Filed By: Save Passamaquoddy Bay Summary: Downeast LNG has failed to include Passamaquoddy Tribal and Canadian communities in its Revised Resource Report 5 (Socioeconomics), thus failing to provide adequate Resource Report requirements, while simultaneously violating Environmental Justice requirements. FERC panders to Downeast LNG, and is guilty of intentionally omitting from its published Downeast LNG EIS socioeconomic data provided by Save Passamaquoddy Bay via The Whole Bay Study; thus, FERC is complicit in Environmental Justice violations. |

| Jun 13 | Filed By: Save Passamaquoddy Bay Summary: Downeast LNG's serial permitting abeyance requests — intended to last nearly an entire year — are a veiled attempt to use the FERC permitting process to assist in selling the project to another entity — an activity contrary to FERC's Congressional mandate. FERC has no business being involved in brokering real estate or businesses. Save Passamaquoddy Bay petitions FERC to dismiss long-suffering Downeast LNG from permitting. |
| Jun 24 | Filed By: Save Passamaquoddy Bay Summary: Downeast LNG has no probability of being able to ship or receive LNG — Canada is ensuring that, as it has done since 2007. Competent company officers would have moved the project out of Passamaquoddy Bay, alleviating the insurmountable Canada LNG ship prohibition and Passamaquoddy Tribe refusal to approve shared use of the waterway. Incompetent management, impractical circumstances, impossible project. |
