NOTE: The Docket List on the FERC website is in Date Order by Date Filed, rather than by Date Posted.
| Dec 1 | Filed By: Allegheny Defense Project Summary: Since Downeast LNG and FERC use alleged indirect economic benefits in defense of the project, FERC must also consider indirect and cumulative negative environmental impacts, such as fracking. Filed By: EPA New England Summary: FERC needs to consider the proposal's Indirect Effects, Air Resources, Methane Leakage, and Coordination with Tribes. |
| Dec 2 | Filed By: MAINE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION Webmaster's comment: This comment was filed with FERC on December 1, but was posted to the Docket on December 2. Summary: The Maine Historic Preservation Commission (MHPC) has not received a copy of the FERC Downeast LNG Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that has been suspended due to Downeast LNG changing the proposed project to add exporting LNG. MHPC has not looked at this project since the Draft EIS was published in 2009.

| Dec 8 | Issued By: ENERGY PROJECTS, OFFICE OF [FERC] Summary:
Filed By: Save Passamaquoddy Bay Summary: Turkey prohibits LNG transits through its Bosphorus Strait — the same as Canada's prohibition in Head Harbour Passage. Both countries provide innocent passage; however, LNG transits through those passages — engulfing civilians and civilian assets within US Government-defined Hazard Zones — would not be innocent, thus innocent passage does not apply. |
| Dec 9 | Filed By: Save Passamaquoddy Bay Summary: FERC failed to advertise its Scoping Period and Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement to Canadian communities. Such ommission can be construed as FERC's prejudiced treatment in favor of Downeast LNG's proposal, in conflict with public stakeholder interests. FERC must correct its failure to advertise in Canada, must re-activate the Scoping Period, and must correct its errors and omissions. |
