The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed Black Bayou Gas Storage Project in Louisiana. This project, proposed by Black Bayou Gas Storage, LLC, plans to build an underground natural gas storage facility with four caverns, capable of storing 34.7 billion cubic feet of gas. The purpose of the EA is to evaluate potential environmental impacts and it concludes that the project would not significantly affect the environment. Public comments on the EA are welcomed and can be submitted electronically or by mail to ensure they are considered before a final decision is made.
Simple Explanation
The government checked to see if building a big gas storage in Louisiana would harm the environment and decided it wouldn't. They are asking people to share their thoughts before making a final decision.
