Description: Response of Calais LNG Project Company, LLC under CP10-31.

Summary: Note: One document in this filing is duplicated in Calais LNG's last filing on this date, Accession No: 20120215-5137.
 
Calais LNG responds to FERC's 2010 Nov 17 data request regarding vapor dispersion terminal Exclusion Zone modeling, claiming the proposed terminal site conforms to PHMSA requirements. They claim an LNG fire would have no impact on the storage tanks, and that "there is no credible sequence leading to escalation of an incident."

Calais LNG also requests a letter of interpretation from the US DOT (PHMSA) regarding Calais LNG's modified source term model, to clairfy acceptance of that model.

The filing includes a report describing Calais LNG's vapor-dispersion methodology and results. Weather station data from St. Stephen, New Brunswick, were used as a source of historical weather data. [Webmaster's comment: Wind speed at St. Stephen would likely be lower than wind speed along the river south of Devil's Head, meaning Calais LNG's results would be skewed, giving a safer impression than might actually exist.]

LNG tanker-truck loading is included in the study.

Description: Filing to ammend submission of Calais LNG Project Company, LLC with accession number 20120215-5084 under CP10-31, et. al..

Summary: Response to FERC regarding TRI and Financial Capacity, including excuses for failing to obtain financing. CLNG claims to have Chinese, Indian, and two private equity firms interested in investing, and claims to need six months to finalize those arrangements. The applicant also claims to have a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with an LNG supplier, but needs until 2013 January to finalize it.
   In addition, CLNG claims that the massive Marcellus and Utica Shale fields are unable to deliver natural gas to New England because pipelines have "proven impossible to construct."
 
Webmaster's comment: In truth, new pipelines are being constructed to deliver Marcellus shale gas to New York and Boston (see "Big, new pipelines on tap for Marcellus Shale," FuelFix, 2011 Aug 15).
