Summary: FERC communicates to NOAA that Downeast LNG believes it could use vibratory hammering for pile driving, eliminating the need for impact pile driving.

Description: Save Passamaquoddy Bay comments on FERC's 2013 August 30 request to NOAA, under CP07-52., et al.
Information: FILE LIST

Summary: Save Passamaquoddy Bay observes two deficiencies in FERC's 2013 Aug 30 request to NOAA, Accession No. 20130830-3001:
 
1) Lack of vibratory hammering noise data, and
 
2) FERC continues to ignore heavy-metal toxic contamination of the waterway bottom that construction would reintroduce into the water column, contaminating commercial species, sustenance species, food species for marine mammals, marine mammals, including protected species, sustenance Passamaquoddy fishers, and the area's general fish-consuming population.
