INITIAL DRAFT RESOURCE REPORT 1

1. General Project Description

1.1 IntroductionGulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC (“GLLC”), Gulf LNG Energy, LLC (“GLE”) and Gulf LNG

Pipeline, LLC, (“GLP”), are developing the proposed Gulf LNG Liquefaction Project (“Project”), which will

add liquefaction and export capabilities to GLE’s existing Gulf LNG Terminal (“Terminal”) located in

Jackson County, Mississippi (Figure 1.1-1, Appendix 1.B).

The Project will include the installation of natural gas liquefaction and export facilities at the Terminal with a

total natural gas liquefaction capacity of approximately 10 million tonnes per annum (“MTPA”). These

facilities will allow liquefaction of domestic natural gas delivered by pipeline, storage of the LNG in the

Terminal’s existing LNG storage tanks, and loading of the stored LNG into LNG carriers (“LNGCs”) via the

Terminal’s existing marine jetty. The Terminal will retain its current capability to receive, store, regasify,

and deliver natural gas into the interstate pipeline system as originally constructed, thereby making the

Terminal bi-directional in terms of LNG import and export.

The Project will be constructed and operated in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and localregulations. The Environmental Report (“ER”) for the Project includes Resource Reports 1 through 13 in

compliance with the requirements of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”)

regulations concerning ERs for Natural Gas Act (“NGA”) applications, 18 Code of Federal Regulations

(“CFR”) Sections 380.3 and 380.12, and in accordance with the FERC Order No. 665 (October 2005),

Pre-filing Procedures for Review of LNG Terminals and Other Natural Gas Facilities.

This Resource Report 1 provides a general description of the proposal to add LNG liquefaction and export

capabilities and functionality under Section 3 of the NGA to the previously authorized Terminal facilities and

for GLP to modify its pipeline facilities to the Terminal under Section 7(c) of the NGA. Resource Reports 2

through 9 describe the existing environment by resource, the potential impacts associated with construction

and operation of the Project, and proposed measures to mitigate these impacts. Resource Report 10 describes

the alternatives that were considered for the Project. Resource Report 11 contains a description of the design,construction, operation, and maintenance measures that will be incorporated into the Project to prevent or

mitigate potential hazards to the public from failure of the Project components as a result of accidents or

natural catastrophes. Resource Report 12, pertaining to polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”), is not applicable

to the Project as there is no PCB contamination at the Terminal. Finally, Resource Report 13 contains

additional detailed engineering and design information related to the Project.

The data for the aforementioned Resource Reports has been compiled utilizing United States (“U.S.”)

Geological Survey (“USGS”) topographic maps, recent aerial photography, publicly available information,

onsite investigations, and information obtained by consultation with appropriate federal and state agencies.

Copies of all correspondence are included in Appendix 1.A of this Resource Report 1.

1.2 History of Gulf LNG and Existing FacilitiesGLE’s Terminal is located near the City of Pascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi, at the end of State

Highway 611 and is situated adjacent to the federally maintained Bayou Casotte Navigation Channel on the

Mississippi Sound. The Terminal is part of the Port of Pascagoula. The application for the construction and

operation of the Terminal and Gulf LNG Pipeline was filed in 2005 with the FERC in Docket Nos. CP06-12,

CP06-13, and CP06-14. The Commission issued its draft Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) on May

19, 2006, and the final EIS on November 24, 2006. On February 16, 2007, the Commission authorized GLE

and GLP to construct, own, and operate the Terminal and Gulf LNG Pipeline. The Terminal went in-service

on October 1, 2011.




1-2

The Terminal consists of the following facilities:

A single dock facility that is currently permitted to receive up to 170,000 cubic meter LNGC vessels;

Two (2) full containment LNG storage tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters;

State-of-the-art fire protection and other hazard detection systems located throughout the Terminal;

A concrete storm surge protection wall surrounding the Terminal that has an elevation of 27 feet North American Vertical Datum 88 (“NAVD 88”). Two openings in the wall - one for the main

access road and another for dock access - are outfitted with watertight steel doors that may be closed

in the event of an approaching tropical system; and

Electrical service provided by Mississippi Power Company via a dedicated 23,000 volt line. A

transformer steps the voltage feed down to 4,160 volts for service to the Terminal via a single motor

control center. The Terminal also has two (2) gas turbine generators to provide essential backup

power generation, each having a capacity of approximately12 megawatts (“MWs”).

GLP’s 36-inch send-out pipeline is used to transport regasified LNG from the Terminal to multiple

interconnect points with downstream interstate pipelines. The send-out pipeline is approximately 5 miles

long, running northerly from the Terminal, and has a Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure of 1,440 psi.

The send-out pipeline interconnects with the following downstream pipelines:

Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C (“Gulfstream”)

Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (“Destin”)

A joint venture pipeline of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC and Florida Gas

Transmission Company, LLC (“Transco/FGT”)

The send-out pipeline also interconnects with the BP Processing Facility.

1.3 Purpose and NeedThe liquefaction facilities have been proposed due to the improved outlook for domestic natural gas

production, owing primarily to drilling productivity gains that have enabled growth in supplies from bothconventional and unconventional sources in the U.S. Improvements in drilling and extraction technologies

and efficiencies, combined with an expansion of the industry’s understanding of the unconventional resource

base and sharing best practices for responsible resource development, have practically eliminated concerns of

declining future domestic natural gas production. As the NERA Economic Consulting (“NERA 2012”) study

commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) noted, the export of natural gas as LNG would

provide “net economic benefits” to the U.S. economy. More recently, on December 16, 2013, the

Administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) concluded, “EIA's updated Reference

case shows that advanced technologies for crude oil and natural gas production are continuing to increase

domestic supply and reshape the U.S. energy economy as well as expand the potential for U.S. natural gas

exports” (“EIA 2013”). Further benefits provided by this project would include:

Stimulating job creation, increasing economic activity and tax revenues by supporting a healthy

domestic drilling program, increasing pipeline construction and operations, constructing andoperating the liquefaction and terminal facilities at the Terminal, and by an increase in associated

support industries;

Creating a significant amount of economic activity and tax revenues, including an increase in port

tonnage and marine activity;

Enhancing U.S. energy security;



1-3

Increasing economic trade and ties with foreign nations, including neighboring countries in the

Americas;

Helping to achieve global greenhouse gas emissions targets through the promotion of clean

burning natural gas in countries that would otherwise use coal or oil for electric generation or

manufacturing processes;

Helping facilitate development of abundant natural gas in the U.S. and related jobs; and;

Helping to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign nations by increasing gas supply diversity to the

global market.

The economic benefits of the abundant and available natural gas supply would be amplified, not

compromised, through the permitting of export projects, including the Project, and there is a compelling

need to provide for such economic benefits in the context of the U.S. economic recovery. The NERA

study Macroeconomic Impacts of LNG Exports from the United States (NERA 2012) found that “for

every one of the market scenarios examined, net economic benefits increased as the level of LNG exports

increased.” There is also an increasing need among world markets for access to cleaner, affordable

sources of energy, which this Project would expressly provide.

1.4 Proposed FacilitiesThe proposed Project will be constructed on approximately 113 acres adjacent to the existing 33 acre

Terminal south of Pascagoula, Mississippi (Figure 1.4-1, Appendix 1.B). The Project will be located

within areas previously evaluated and assessed in conjunction with the FERC’s earlier review and

approval of the Terminal in Docket No. CP06-12. The footprint of the proposed Project facilities is

shown on Figure 1.4-2 (Appendix 1.B). Construction of the Project will be performed primarily within

the indicated Project footprint. Additional offsite areas will be required for Project staging, warehouse

yards, contractor offices, and parking.

The Project will involve construction in two phases of two liquefaction trains, each capable of producing

approximately 5 MTPA of LNG for export, along with the required support utilities and infrastructure and

modifications to the GLE Terminal, GLP Pipeline and certain GLP meter stations to enable bidirectional

operations.

A general description of the involved Project facilities is provided below. More detailed facility

descriptions are provided in Resource Report 13.

1.4.1 Project Facilities

1.4.1.1 Metering Facilities

The Metering Facilities are existing facilities that will be modified to be bi-directional. The existing

Metering Facilities consist of a gas metering station, a pig receiver, and a pressure let-down station.

Filters will be added to remove trace quantities of solids which could plug downstream equipment.

1.4.1.1.1 GLP Modifications to Gulfstream Metering Station

Piping modifications will be made to the existing Gulfstream metering skid to permit bi-directionalflow.

1.4.1.1.2 GLP Modifications to Destin Metering Station

Piping modifications will be made to the existing Destin metering skid to permit bi-directional flow.

1.4.1.1.3 GLP Modifications to Transco/FGT Interconnect

Piping modifications will be made to the existing Transco/FGT interconnect to permit bi-directional

flow.




1-4

1.4.1.2 GLP Pipeline Modifications

The GLP pipeline is an existing facility that will be modified to be bi-directional. The 36-inch pipeline

will be modified on the pipeline side of the 36-inch battery-limits valve to provide a connection to the

inlet of the LNG liquefaction pre-treatment facilities.

1.4.1.3 Pretreatment Facilities

Pretreatment facilities are provided to remove impurities in the natural gas stream that have no heatingvalue, could be corrosive to, or could solidify in downstream units, or which must be removed to meet

product LNG specifications.

The pretreatment facilities consist of:

Mercury Removal - natural gas could contain trace levels of mercury which could damage the

aluminum-based heat exchangers in the liquefaction section. Mercury removal is accomplished

by adsorption through either a sulfur impregnated activated carbon or a metal sulfide based

catalyst.

Acid Gas Removal Unit (“AGRU”) - Acid gases, consisting primarily of carbon dioxide with

trace quantities of other contaminants (such as hydrogen sulfide), are removed from the feed

natural gas by means of absorption in a water-based lean solvent in an Acid Gas Absorber Dehydration - Treated natural gas from the AGRU will be saturated with water. The water must

be removed to avoid water freezing in the downstream cryogenic liquefaction section.

Heavy Hydrocarbon Removal - The purpose of heavy hydrocarbon removal is to meet product

LNG specifications as well as to recover refrigerant makeup components from the feed gas.

1.4.1.4 Liquefaction Trains

Each phase of the Project will consist of installation of one liquefaction train equal to an approximate,

nominal output capacity of 5 MTPA. The configuration of the LNG Trains will be based on the Air

Products and Chemicals Incorporated (APCI C3-MR) process with one APCI manufactured Main

Cryogenic Heat Exchanger (“MCHE”) per train. In each LNG train, the Propane and Mixed Refrigerantcompressors will be driven by two (2) GE Frame 7EA gas turbines and associated helper motors. Gas will

be cooled and liquefied by heat exchange with a mixture of propane, ethane, and methane in a MCHE.

The product LNG liquid stream leaves the MCHE and passes through the energy extraction LNG

Hydraulic Turbine, which reduces the pressure of the LNG. This energy extraction effectively serves as

low level refrigeration that reduces LNG temperature and increases LNG production. The LNG is then

sent to the existing cryogenic storage tanks and stored at atmospheric pressure at approximately -256 °F.

1.4.1.5 Ship Loading Modifications

New in-tank LNG loading pumps will be installed in the existing LNG storage tanks to transfer LNG to

LNGCs through the existing transfer lines. Minor changes will be made to the piping to the marine

loading arms to permit bi-directional flow. There will be no change in the capacity or operating pressure

of the existing transfer line during the proposed loading operation.

1.4.1.6 Extension of Storm Surge Protection WallThe existing concrete storm surge protection wall will be modified to enclose the entire Terminal,

including the new liquefaction facilities. Either a section of the existing wall will be removed or openings

will be installed in the wall to permit access between the existing and new facilities.

1.4.1.7 Utilities and Support Facilities

Ancillary utilities and support facilities needed to support the liquefaction trains will include the

following:




1-5

Fuel Gas System - the Fuel Gas System collects and mixes hydrocarbon vapors generated in the

facility with pretreated feed gas downstream of the Molecular Sieve Driers make-up to serve as

the fuel source for facility consumers.

Flare Systems - Warm Flare and Cold Flare systems will be provided for the safe disposal of

hydrocarbon streams during upset or emergency release scenarios. Flare options are currently

being evaluated based on safety and operational requirements. Hot Oil System - Process heating will be provided by a circulating hot-oil-based system. Heating

of the oil will be accomplished through a Hot Oil Heater, which is a gas-fired furnace.

Instrument and Utility Air System - An air system will be provided to supply compressed dry air

to control systems (instrument air), and wet air to pneumatic tools and other utility consumers

(plant air), as well as the Nitrogen Generation System.

Nitrogen Generation System - The nitrogen will be used for refrigerant makeup, compressor seal

gas, pump seal purges, flare header purge gas, non-LNG storage tank and expansion drum blanket

gas, instrument and electrical panel purges, and other uses. A Nitrogen Generation System will be

generated on site, as needed, to produce gaseous nitrogen from compressed air supplied from the

Air System.

Utility/Potable/Demineralized Water System

o Utility water from the Utility/Firewater Tank will supply water to the tempered

water system for initial fill and make-up, to the utility water distribution system,

to and to the Potable Water and the Demineralized Water systems for further purification.

o Potable water will be pumped from Potable Water Storage Tank and supplied to the

eyewashes, safety showers, and buildings.

o Demineralized water from Demineralized Water Storage Tank will be pumped to Solvent

Storage Tank, AGRU, and Aqueous Ammonia Storage Tank for water makeup.

Demineralized water will also be used for gas turbine washing.

Tempered Water System - The Tempered Water System is a closed loop circulation system that

provides cooling for compressor lube oil systems in the LNG Trains.

Firewater System - The Firewater System will include a combination of detection and mitigation

measures to minimize the risks of a fire event to the LNG Trains and utility and support facilities.

The Firewater System will be designed in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire

Protection Association (“NFPA”) NFPA 59A.

Essential Backup Power Generation – Additional generator(s) will be installed to serve as a

reliable power source for critical equipment and safe plant shutdown in the event of local utility

power failure.

Refrigerant Storage - The Refrigerant Storage System provides storage and transfer capability for

the ethane and propane used for refrigerant make-up. The ethane and propane will be stored indedicated on-site storage: ethane in bullets and propane in spheres.

Condensate Storage - The Condensate Storage system will include 1 storage tank, pumps, and a

truck-loading station for periodic truck-out of the recovered hydrocarbon condensate.

Amine Solvent Storage - The Amine Storage System provides storage and transfer capability for

amine solvents. The Fresh Amine solvent will be imported and stored in Solvent Storage Tank to




1-6

provide makeup to the AGRU. The same tank is also used as a de-inventory tank for solvent from

AGRU when required.

Aqueous Ammonia Storage - Aqueous Ammonia Storage is designed to receive and store

aqueous ammonia for distribution to the LNG trains. The aqueous ammonia is pumped toinjection skids for vaporization and supply to the Selective Catalytic Reduction (“SCR”) units of

the gas turbines. Waste Water System – Amine containing equipment and piping drains within the AGRU will be

drained through a closed system to a collection drum for recycling back to the amine system.

Potentially, amine- and hydrocarbon-contaminated regeneration water from the Dehydration Unit

will be routed to the Thermal Oxidizers for disposal.

Spill Containment System - The Project will provide a LNG spill containment system designed

and constructed to comply with DOT regulations 49 C.F.R. Part 193 Sections 193.2149 through

193.2185. These regulations require that each LNG transfer system be provided with a means of

secondary containment which has been sized to hold the quantity of LNG that could be released

as a result of the design spill which is appropriate for the area and LNG equipment.

Storm Water System - One or more storm water outfalls will be installed to remove (i.e., pump)

any storm water that collects within the storm surge protection wall to the Mississippi Soundthrough the Terminal’s berthing area. Secondary containment also will be provided for chemical

storage and/or oil storage within the Project’s processing area. In accordance with standard

industry practice, these containment areas will only be drained to the site storm water

management system following inspection by on-site staff. If there are any visual signs of oil or

hazardous materials present, storm water from containment areas will be retained until cleanup

can be completed and the source of the contaminants is repaired or replaced

Buildings – New or modified warehouse, maintenance, control, and office buildings will be

constructed onsite. The Terminal’s existing warehouse/maintenance building will be relocated to

minimize vehicle traffic and security escort requirements within the secure/restricted area of the

Terminal. The Terminal’s existing control room and administration building will be relocated.

The size of the buildings will accommodate the new requirements of the liquefaction Project andwill be elevated for storm surge protection.

Hazard Detection System - The Project will comply with 49 C.F.R. Part 193, 33 C.F.R. §

127.205, and NFPA 59A by monitoring all areas where the potential for combustible/flammable

gas concentrations exist.

Emergency Shutdown System - In accordance with CFR Part 127.201(b), the loading system

(marine terminal) will have detectors measuring LNG concentrations that will automatically

activate the emergency shutdown (“ESD”) system if concentrations exceed 40 percent of the

lower flammable limit. For the remainder of facility (liquefaction, refrigerant storage, etc.), fire

and gas detectors will only activate alarm systems and will not operate or initiate any facility

shutdowns. Audible alarms will be provided throughout the facility area to alert plant

operators. Operators at any of the control stations would take the appropriate actions to safeguardthe equipment and the terminal. All hazard detection, hazard control and emergency shutdown

systems will be fully integrated into the control room.

Security System - GLLC will work with GLE to revise its existing security plan, in accordance

with the Maritime 33 C.F.R. Part 105 and 49 C.F.R. Part 193, to incorporate the liquefaction

facilities.

1.7 Construction Schedule and Procedures

1.7.1 Construction Schedule

The overall schedule for the construction of the Project, which is detailed in Resource Report 13, is

expected to be approximately 42 months from commencement of site preparation to the completion of

Phase II. The construction of the two LNG liquefaction trains will be staggered to balance the workforce.

The construction of the first LNG liquefaction train and common utilities will take approximately 36

months. The construction of the second LNG liquefaction train will be initiated shortly after the start of

the first train and will conclude approximately 6 months after the completion of the first train. The

detailed schedule for the Project is provided in Resource Report 13.




1-8

1.7.2 Construction Procedures

The Project facilities will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the U.S.

Department of Transportation (“DOT”) Federal Safety Standards for Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities, 49

CFR Part 193 and NFPA 59A. GLLC will adopt the FERC Upland Erosion Control, Revegetation and

Maintenance Plan (“Plan”) and Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures

(“Procedures”), with modifications, which will be implemented as well as all Project conditions resultingfrom the Order and Project permits.

Typical Project construction activities are summarized below. The general schedule for the major Project

construction activities and the average construction workforce is provided in Resource Report 5.

1.7.2.1 Mobilization

Upon receipt of Project permits and clearances, Project labor and supervision with necessary equipment

will be mobilized to site to construct the temporary construction facilities and to commence site

preparation earthworks activities. Additional labor and equipment will be mobilized to site as required to

facilitate each subsequent phase of the work.

1.7.2.2 Temporary Facilities

Temporary facilities necessary to support Project construction will be located around the construction site.

The temporary facilities will include equipment and material laydown areas, contractor offices and

parking areas, warehouses, and workshops. Due to space constraints within the existing facility, it will be

necessary to locate and utilize a significant portion of the required temporary facilities offsite in the

general Pascagoula area.

It will also be necessary to construct a temporary Marine Offloading Facility (“MOF”) to facilitate

movement of equipment too large to be transported by road onto the construction site. Tentative plans call

to locate that offloading facility in the northwestern-most portion of the Terminal owned property at the

mouth of Bayou Casotte in the Mississippi Sound.

1.7.2.3 Clearing, Grading, and Excavation

Previously, Fugro Consultants, LP performed a subsurface geotechnical and seismic investigation as part

of the LNG regasification facility preconstruction activities. The investigation examined the properties ofthe existing soil and subsurface materials. Investigation results became the basis for the determination of

appropriate ground improvements and foundation designs. A similar geotechnical and seismic

investigation will be performed for the new liquefaction facility. This second investigation will take into

account the preexisting facility investigation results and expand upon it to include the new liquefaction

trains, related utility areas and facility storm surge wall. The original investigation report, together with

the facility liquefaction geotechnical and seismic investigation are included in the Reconnaissance

Geotechnical Study report and included in Section 13.3 of Resource Report 13.

Based on the results of the report, the general description of the site work is essentially to fill and grade

the existing site to a proposed elevation of 12.0 to 15.0 feet NAVD 88 in the Process Area and to

elevation of 10.0 to 12.0 feet NAVD 88 in other areas. The subgrade preparation work will begin with

the preparation of ground surface by first removing trees, stumps, roots, vegetation, logs, rubbish and

other unsuitable materials. The grade will then be cut to elevation 3.5 feet NAVD 88, which will exposesoft to firm clay fill or fine grained clayey sandy fill. To provide a good working surface, the exposed

surface soil will be chemically stabilized with lime-fly ash to a depth of 8 to 10 inches and then be re-

compacted to a minimum of 92 percent of standard proctor ASTM D698 test procedures. Any free water

will be drained from the site by establishing positive drainage with ditches or pumping from the sumps.

Low lying areas with standing water will be backfilled with coarse aggregate such that standing water is

no longer exposed. An 8 oz. / yd., non-woven, needle-punched geo-fabric will be placed over, and in

good contact with the prepared ground surface prior to placement of general fill.



1-9

A bi-axial Geogrid equivalent to Tensar BX 1200 will then be placed on top of the geofabric and extend at

least 10 feet beyond the toe of the proposed general fill. This will act as a separator between the subgrade

and the structural fill used to raise the site elevation to the design level. The initial fill layer will be 16

inches thick of well graded, coarse aggregate over the geofabric and bi-axial Geogrid compacted to a

minimum of 90 percent of standard proctor per ASTM D698.

A second bi-axial Geogrid layer will then be placed over the well graded aggregate. A 16-inch thick secondlayer of well-graded aggregate will be placed over the second bi-axial Geogrid. Aggregate will be placed in

8 inch lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard proctor per ASTM D698. General fill will then

be placed and compacted to at least 95 percent ASTM D698 to raise the site grade to elevation 4 feet.

Select fill will be used to raise the grade in all areas from elevation 4 feet to the design grade of elevations

varying from 10.0 to 15.0 feet and placed in uniform loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches thick and extending

across the entire planed raised area.

Site grading will also include finish grading of the entire site for roadways, culverts, ditches, ramps and

swales etc. Finish grading will include concrete paving, with curbs for surfaced process areas, general

gravel surfacing and applications of top soils, seeding and mulching for grass areas.

GLLC will adopt FERC’s Plan and Procedures, with modifications, as well as the Coastal Construction

Manual as instructed by Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) – Mitigation Directorate toensure that potential effects on soils due to construction activities of the facility are minimal.

1.7.2.4 Storm Surge Protection Wall

The existing storm surge protection wall will be extended to encircle the new liquefaction facilities. The

storm surge protection wall will have a finished elevation of 27 feet NAVD 88. The area within the storm

surge protection wall will be filled to between +12 feet and +18 feet NAVD 88. Portions of the existing

storm surge protection wall contained within the new perimeter storm surge protection wall will be

removed, as required, to accommodate the new facility additions.

1.7.2.5 Foundations

Foundations for heavy equipment and structures will be installed on precast or steel piles that will be

delivered to the site by barge to the temporary MOF or by truck. Piles will be installed in a manner to

efficiently complete piling operations on a schedule that will best support the subsequent construction

operations. After pile driving is complete, pile caps consisting of formwork, rebar installation, and pouringof concrete will be installed at the top of each pile. Consideration is also being given to utilizing drilled

displacement piling in applications where appropriate.

Lighter equipment and structures will be supported by foundations laid directly on compacted soil.

1.7.2.6 Underground Utilities

The underground portion of utilities, such as water, fire water, electrical, and communications, will be

installed throughout the new Project area.

1.7.2.7 Materials and Equipment Delivery

Materials and equipment required for the liquefaction facilities include the main processing equipment

(such heat exchangers, gas compressors, gas turbines, vessel, tanks, etc.), piping, steel for equipmentsupports and pipe racks, and utility package systems such as water treatment units. The majority of the

Project will be constructed completely onsite using a stick-build (from the ground up) construction

approach, although some of the components (e.g. package systems and/or pipe racks) may be preassembled

off site and delivered to the site as modularized packages.

Materials and equipment will be shipped from the place of origin to the Port of Pascagoula and off-loaded

near the site at staging and laydown areas, and via barge to the MOF. Materials and equipment may also be

brought in by rail or trucked to the site. Charter delivery by barge of large equipment shipments will be




1-10

made directly to the Terminal grounds and offloaded onto the site via a temporary MOF. Trucks/equipment

will transport materials from the offloading area through the Terminal to the respective facility construction

areas. Existing terminal roads will be upgraded as required to allow for heavy hauls deliveries.

1.7.2.8 Erection

Equipment and pipe racks will be set on their respective foundations. As the pipe racks are completed,

work will begin on the installation of above ground process and utility piping and cable trays. As the majorequipment is set, piping, electrical and instrumentation tie-ins would commence.

1.7.2.9 Testing

As systems are installed, appropriate testing will be done to ensure integrity and safety of the various

components. This will include items such as hydrotesting and pneumatic testing of piping, testing of

electrical cables, calibration of instruments, loop checks for control circuits, and check-outs by equipment

vendors.

1.7.2.10 Commissioning and Start-up

As individual systems become available, they will be commissioned according to a detailed plan to ensure

they are ready for proper operation. Actual start-up of the new equipment may begin once the

commissioning process is completed for each system.

1.7.3 Environmental Compliance, Training, and Inspection

GLLC is committed to designing, building, and conducting their operations in ways that minimize adverse

impact on human health and the environment. GLLC will ensure that applicable environmental

requirements are incorporated in construction documents, will conduct environmental training, will employ

at least one environmental inspector (“EI”), and will provide routine monitoring during all phases of

construction, cleanup and restoration.

GLLC will include Project-specific environmental requirements that will be part of the construction

contract documents. These documents and requirements will include applicable permits, FERC’s Plan and

Procedures, FERC Section 3 authorization conditions, and other environmental requirements. GLLC will

effectively communicate to its contractor(s) the environmental requirements for the Project. If, during

construction, a contractor is found to be in violation of an environmental requirement, GLLC will require

an immediate correction of the problem, issue a stop work order if necessary, and resolve any disciplinaryissue with the contractor.

Before any construction begins, GLLC will conduct intensive environmental training for the inspector(s) to

familiarize them with the specific conditions and issues associated with the Project. Separate training of thecontractor personnel will also be undertaken to familiarize all personnel with the environmental

requirements of the Project. As new personnel are assigned to the Project, training will be conducted for

these personnel as well.

GLLC considers the role of the EI to be a critical part of the Construction Management Team. During

construction, the EI will have the authority at all times to assess and evaluate any construction-related

activity to confirm compliance with the environmental conditions of all local, state, and federal agency

permits or certificates. GLLC will be responsible for the selection, employment, training, and guidance of

the EI. The duties of the EI are to monitor and report on those activities designated as environmental scopeof work in the construction contracts, such as erosion control, re-vegetation, construction signage,

environmental permit compliance, threatened and endangered species protection, and fencing of

environmentally sensitive sites. The role of the EI is not to inspect the physical construction of the facilities

(welding, lowering-in, pressure testing, etc.) but to provide guidance to other inspectors monitoring these

activities related to the conditions of environmental permits or authorizations.

The EI will attend the meetings of the Construction Management Team. The EI will report, as appropriate,

to the Chief Construction Inspector and/or Construction Manager at the meetings on all environmental-




1-11

related activities of the construction contractor(s). GLLC’s environmental project manager personnel will

maintain contact with the EI at the appropriate levels throughout the Project.

An EI will be present onsite on a daily basis during construction of the Project. The objective is to keep the

Project moving forward within the guidelines established by GLLC and the regulating environmental

agencies. The EI will work with the construction foreman/crew to provide interpretation and enforcement

of all local, state and federal environmental regulations. If an agreement on an interpretation of an

environmental condition cannot be reached between the EI and construction personnel, the issue will be

raised to the environmental project manager and GLLC’s Project Manager as necessary. The field crews

will then implement the interpretation and final resolution.

The environmental project manager and GLLC’s Project Manager will review daily reports generated by

the EI. The EI will also complete field reports for agency notification. The environmental project manager

and GLLC’s project manager will review all agency notifications. Any agency notifications required by

permit conditions will be made by the environmental project manager.

1.8 Operation and MaintenanceGLE has on file with the FERC Office of Pipeline Safety and USCG, operations manuals for the current

facilities. GLLC will coordinate with GLE to update the manuals as necessary to accommodate the new

liquefaction facilities and submit amendments to the agencies prior to commissioning the Project.

All systems for the operation of the liquefaction facilities, storage tanks and ship loading will be controlled

and monitored through a central control room. All hazard detection, hazard control, security and emergency

shutdown systems will be fully integrated into the control room.

GLLC will coordinate with GLE to amend the existing facility maintenance plans to include the proposed

facility modifications. GLLC will operate under a maintenance regime that will include corrective and

preventative maintenance plans. The plan will include written procedures consistent with corporate policy

and federal standards, including regulations at 33 CFR Part 127.401 and 49 CFR Part 193 subpart G.

The liquefaction units are designed with an ESD System which is incorporated to safely shut down the

facility in the event of an emergency. Emergency shutdown and depressurization of the Liquefaction

Facility can be initiated immediately, dependent on the emergency. The timeline for an emergencyshutdown of the liquefaction process in an emergency can be a matter of seconds.

A controlled shutdown would usually begin with feed rate reduction followed potentially by de-inventory

of stored hydrocarbon levels in vessels. Advance warning of one-half hour to one hour will give the

operator time to transfer inventory and shut down and/or blow down inventory to the flare if required. In

the event that advance warning of an impending shutdown during emergency events is not available to

allow a controlled shutdown of the unit, the ESD System is designed to safely take the plant out of service

within seconds.

All operations and maintenance personnel for the Project will be trained to properly and safely perform

their jobs including the potential hazards associated with cryogenic LNG operations and the proper

operations of all equipment. Operators will meet the training requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, DOT,

and other regulatory entities. All maintenance plans will be implemented by trained maintenancetechnicians reporting to a Maintenance Supervisor.

1.9 Future Expansion or Abandonment of Facilities

1.11 Agency/Landowner ConsultationsGLLC has endeavored to include landowners, regulatory and resource agencies, and others in the early

planning stages of the proposed Project. As discussed below, federal, state, and local agencies were given the

opportunity to comment on the Project during the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) pre-filing

review process in Docket No. PF13-4-000.

Correspondence since April 18, 2014 with federal, state, and local agencies can be found in Appendix 1.A.

GLLC will file any additional correspondences and approvals with FERC upon receipt. GLLC will obtain all

necessary permits, clearances, and licenses related to the Project, and will observe and comply with all

federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations governing the Project.

1.11.1 Agency Consultations

GLLC initiated an effort early in the proposed Project to work with all federal, state, and local regulatoryagencies with an interest in the Project. In order to solicit input and guidance for the proposed Project to

maintain compliance with regulatory policies, GLLC mailed Project consultation letters, including a map of

the Project area, to all agencies known to have potential regulatory jurisdiction over the Project as shown in

Table 1.9-1. GLLC will continue to consult with the regulatory agencies to solicit input and to obtain data

germane to assessing potential environmental impacts. Correspondence with regulatory agencies regarding

the Project, including meeting information, is included in Appendix 1.A of this Resource Report 1.

1.11.2 Affected Landowners

There are no residences located within one-half mile of the Terminal. The names and addresses of all

affected landowners and towns, communities, and local, state and federal governments and agencies of the

Project facilities are included in Appendix 1.C (Volume II), filed pursuant to 380.12(c)(10) of the

Commission’s regulations. As required, and in accordance with 18 CFR § 157.6(d)(2), GLLC will send

formal written notification to these entities and individuals within three (3) business days following the date

the Commission issues a notice of application for the Project.

1.12 Non-Jurisdictional FacilitiesThe liquefaction facility will add approximately 200 MW of load to the local utility (Mississippi Power)

system. The existing LNG import terminal is served by a 23 kV distribution line. It is expected that new

high-voltage transmission lines will have to be installed to provide the power required by the Gulf LNG

Liquefaction Project.

Final plans have yet to be developed but it is expected that Mississippi Power will build a new substation

within the liquefaction facility. The new substation will be supplied by redundant transmission lines and

provide dedicated and redundant service to the liquefaction facility.

1.12.1 Four-Factor Test

Under NEPA, the FERC may need to consider the environmental impact of related non-jurisdictional

facilities that would be constructed upstream or downstream of the jurisdictional facilities for the purpose of

delivering, receiving, or using the proposed gas volumes. The extent of the Commission’s analyses of non-

jurisdictional facilities depends on the Commission’s determination of its and other federal agencies’ controland responsibility over these facilities. Section 380.12(c)(2)(ii) of the Regulations sets forth four factors the

Commission will use to determine whether there is sufficient federal control and responsibility over a project

as a whole to warrant environmental analysis of project-related non-jurisdictional facilities. The factors are:

1. Whether or not the regulated activity comprises “merely a link” in a corridor type project (e.g., atransportation or utility transmission project).

2. Whether there are aspects of the non-jurisdictional facility in the immediate vicinity of the regulated

activity which uniquely determine the location and configuration of the regulated activity.



1-19

3. The extent to which the entire project will be within the Commission’s jurisdiction.

4. The extent of cumulative federal control and responsibility.

Application of the four-factor test does not support federal environmental review of the upgraded facilities

that the electric service provider will install to supply additional electric power to the Project site.

Conclusions of the four factor test are as follows:

With regard to the first factor, the jurisdictional facility is a link in a natural gas transportation project. The

modifications to the Terminal to install liquefaction and export facilities will enable LLC to export

approximately 10 MTPA of LNG.

With regard to the second factor, the proposed non-jurisdictional facilities will provide electricity to the

jurisdictional facility proposed in this application. The location and configuration of the jurisdictional facility

has not been uniquely influenced by an electric service provider’s non-jurisdictional facilities. The proposed

Project site in Jackson County, Mississippi is an existing certificated facility, and the proposed modifications

to the Terminal are not dictated by the electric transmission lines. Rather, the location and design of an

electric service provider’s non-jurisdictional facilities have been, and will continue to be, dictated by the

location of the jurisdictional Project facilities.

With regard to the third factor, installation of the electric power lines is regulated by state and local agencies

and an electric service provider must comply with applicable state environmental requirements. FERC does

not have authority over the permitting, licensing, funding, construction, or operation of the electric service

provider’s non-jurisdictional facilities. Therefore, this factor also weighs against extending the scope of the

FERC’s environmental review to the non-jurisdictional facilities.

With regard to the fourth factor, federal control is determined by the amount of federal financing, assistance,

direction, regulation, or approval inherent in a project. Installation of the electrical facilities will be under

state and local jurisdiction. No federal financing or federally controlled lands are involved. Other federal

agencies (e.g., USFWS and USACE) are expected to have limited or no involvement in the approval of the

non-jurisdictional facilities to be constructed, owned, and operated by the electric service provider.

Therefore, cumulative federal control is minimal, and this factor does not warrant extending FERC’s

environmental review to the non-jurisdictional facilities.

Dear Ms. Bose:

On December 5, 2012, Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC1 (“GLLC”) requested that

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) initiate a NationalEnvironmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) pre-filing review (“December 5 Request”),

2

pursuant to Section 157.21 of the Commission’s regulations,3 of a proposed two-phased

liquefaction and export project (“GLLC Liquefaction Project” or the “Project”) that will be integrated with Gulf LNG Energy, LLC’s (“GLE”) existing liquefied natural gas

(“LNG”) terminal located in Jackson County, Mississippi near Pascagoula, Mississippi

(“Terminal”)4. On December 14, 2012, the Commission issued a letter stating that it will

consider the December 5 Request upon full compliance with the procedures outlined in the

Commission’s regulations at 18 CFR 157.21. GLLC hereby files supplementalinformation relating to the December 5 Request for review and written approval from the

Director of the Office of Energy Projects.5

Addition of Gulf LNG Energy, LLC and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC

By this Supplement, GLE and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC (“GLP”) join GLLC (together

“Companies”) in requesting that the Commission initiate a NEPA pre-filing review of the proposed Project. The Project will require modifications to the existing Gulf LNG

Terminal owned by GLE, including new or additional in-tank pumps, piping modifications

and valves, and control systems to provide for bi-directional operation and tie-ins to thenew facility. Additionally, GLP proposes modifications to meter stations and interconnects

in order for the Gulf LNG Pipeline to have bi-directional flow capability. Upon

completion of the Project, GLP will continue to be able to provide import and vaporization

Not applicable.



Appendix APage 3

4. A detailed description of the project, including location maps and plot plans to

scale showing all major plant components that will serve as the initial

discussion point for stakeholder review.

The Project is proposed to be constructed in two phases pursuant to Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act.

Scope

The scope of the Project will involve modifications and additions to the existing

Terminal that are necessary to allow it to liquefy natural gas delivered by pipeline,

store it in the existing and additional LNG storage tanks and load it into LNG vesselsfor export to foreign countries. The Terminal will remain able to receive, store,

regasify and deliver natural gas as originally constructed, thereby making the

Terminal “bi-directional”.

Capacity

Two LNG trains will be installed in two phases. Each phase will consist of a single

LNG train with a nominal production capacity of up to 5 MTPA. Up to 10.5

million tons per annum (“MTPA”) of LNG will be produced from a natural gasfeedstock rate of up to 1.5 billion standard cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) serving

multiple liquefaction and export customers.

Compressor Driver

The refrigeration compressors in each LNG train will utilize gas turbine drivers.

General Electric LM-6000 PF gas turbines with DLE combustion or equivalent areexpected.

Facilities

Since the feed gas will be pipeline quality natural gas, no provisions are expected to be made to handle inlet condensate.

Based on the expected range of feed gas compositions, there are no hydrocarbon

constituents in the feed gas that cannot be included in the LNG product or that willfreeze (solidify) in the liquefaction facilities. Therefore, a Heavies Removal Unit is

not expected to be required. The relatively low level of nitrogen in the feed gas also

indicates that any excess nitrogen that does not remain in the LNG product can berejected into the plant fuel gas, and a cryogenic Nitrogen Removal Unit is not

expected to be required.

The existing plant back-up gas turbine generators and essential generator will be

supplemented with new essential generation capacity used to provide stand- by

power for the new liquefaction facilities.



Appendix APage 4

Processing facilities include:

Inlet Feed Gas Heater (including reconfiguration of the existing gas meters to

flow in reverse direction to the LNG facilities) Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU) and Solvent Regeneration

Gas Dehydration and Mercury Removal Unit

Refrigeration and Liquefaction (excluding Heavies Removal)

LNG Storage: Two existing storage tanks and a third new LNG tank will be

included

Re: Approval to Initiate the Commission’s Pre-Filing Process for theGLLC Liquefaction Project

Dear Mr. Sheffield:

Thank you for your May 9, 2014 letter providing supplemental information

to Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC’s (GLLC) original December 5, 2012

pre-filing request for the planned GLLC Liquefaction Project. We believe that

beginning review of this proposal prior to the receipt of your application will

greatly improve our ability to identify issues early and address them in our

environmental document.

On December 14, 2012, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(FERC or Commission) issued a letter stating that it would consider GLLC’s pre-

filing request upon full compliance with the procedures outlined in the

Commission’s regulations at 18 CFR 157.21. We have determined that GLLC has

complied with those procedures and the pre-filing review process may begin.

As stated in your May 9, 2014 letter to the Commission, GLLC plans to

construct liquefaction facilities (LNG trains, and processing and support facilities)

in order to export LNG from its existing Gulf LNG Import facility located in the

Port of Pascagoula, Jackson County, Mississippi. GLLC also plans to make

modifications to existing terminal and pipeline facilities to accommodate bi-

directional flow of natural gas. No new pipeline looping or additional LNG

storage is planned for the project. Up to 10.5 million tons per annum of LNG

would be produced from a natural gas feedstock rate of up to 1.5 billion standard

cubic feet per day, serving multiple liquefaction and export customers.



Your letter states that GLLC intends to file an application in April 2015.

When GLLC files its application with the Commission, we will evaluate the

progress made during the pre-filing process, based in part on our success in

resolving the issues raised during scoping. Once we determine that your

application is ready for processing, we will establish a schedule for completion ofthe environmental document and for the issuance of all other federal

authorizations.

My staff has reviewed the third-party contractor proposals and has selected

Cardno ENTRIX to work under the direct supervision and control of the

Commission staff in preparing the National Environmental Policy Act

documentation. I request that you proceed with executing a contract with Cardno

Entrix so work may begin as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Energy Projects’Environmental Project Manager for your project, Anthony J. Rana at (202) 502-

8224.

Sincerely,

Jeff C. Wright

Subject: Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC

Dear Mr. Necaise:

Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC (“GLLC”), an affiliate of Gulf LNG Energy, LLC(“GLE”) and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC, intends to add liquefaction and export capabilities toGLE’s existing liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) import terminal located near the City ofPascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi (“Gulf LNG Terminal” or “Terminal”). Suchadditions will include the installation of liquefaction and export facilities to be integratedwith the existing Terminal to allow it to liquefy natural gas delivered by pipeline, store the

produced LNG in the existing LNG storage tanks, and load it into LNG vessels via theexisting marine loading jetty for export (the “Project” or “Facility”). The Terminal willretain the capability to receive, store, re-gasify, and deliver natural gas as originallyconstructed, thereby making the Terminal bi-directional. GLLC proposes to site, construct,and operate the proposed Project in response to the global demand for natural gas producedin the United States.

The proposed Facility will include a complete natural gas liquefaction and export plant withassociated support facilities and utilities, and modification of the existing LNG tanks andpiping for both unloading and loading service. The liquefaction plant will be integratedwith the existing Terminal, which will then be capable of being operated in a bi-directionalmanner so that both import and export functions can be performed. The Facility will be

designed to produce nominally 10 million tons per annum (“MTPA”) of LNG in two phases.Phase 1 of the Project includes a single 5 MTPA pretreatment facility and liquefaction train(“Train 1”) and Phase 2 of the Project includes a second 5 MTPA pretreatment facility andliquefaction train (“Train 2”). Design and construction of Train 1 will accommodate certainprovisions for Train 2 but Train 2 itself will be constructed in Phase 2.



Mr. Paul Necaise April 18, 2014

PAGE 2

A Project overview and the proposed Project facilities boundary is shown on the attachedmapping. GLLC will identify any non-jurisdictional facilities associated with its proposalfor possible inclusion in the scope of review as soon as possible.

The proposed Project will be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(“FERC”), with other federal agencies acting as cooperating partners in review of theirrespective jurisdictions under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). GLLC willfile for approval from the FERC in May 2014 to use the FERC pre-filing process in preparingits application under Section 3 of the NGA. The FERC has established its pre-filing processto encourage natural gas project applicants to engage in early project developmentinvolvement with the public and agencies, as contemplated by NEPA and the Council onEnvironmental Quality regulations.

The preliminary Project schedule includes the following target dates:

a. Pre-filing process begins – May 2014

b. Complete consultations, submit permit applications – April 2015

c. Submit Section 3 application to FERC – April 2015

d. NEPA review period – April 2015 to February 2016

e. Receive FERC Authorization – April 2016

f. Start Construction – June 2016

Existing conditions at the Terminal have been previously analyzed in the Commission’sFinal Environmental Impact Statement that was published for the LNG Clean EnergyProject (FERC Docket No. CP06-12-000 and CP06-13-000) in November 2006.

On behalf of GLLC, we respectfully request that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reviewthe information we have provided and determine its ability to participate in the

Commission’s pre-filing process for the GLLC Project. We will be in contact with you duringthe Project review phase for further consultation and review. Please contact me at 678-530-4350 or by email at [email protected] if you need further information.

Dear Mr. Collins:

Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company, LLC (“GLLC”), an affiliate of Gulf LNG Energy, LLC(“GLE”) and Gulf LNG Pipeline, LLC, intends to add liquefaction and export capabilities toGLE’s existing liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) import terminal located near the City ofPascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi (“Gulf LNG Terminal” or “Terminal”). Suchadditions will include the installation of liquefaction and export facilities to be integratedwith the existing Terminal to allow it to liquefy natural gas delivered by pipeline, store the

produced LNG in the existing LNG storage tanks, and load it into LNG vessels via theexisting marine loading jetty for export (the “Project” or “Facility”). The Terminal willretain the capability to receive, store, re-gasify, and deliver natural gas as originallyconstructed, thereby making the Terminal bi-directional. GLLC proposes to site, construct,and operate the proposed Project in response to the global demand for natural gasproduced in the United States.

The proposed Facility will include a complete natural gas liquefaction and export plant withassociated support facilities and utilities, and modification of the existing LNG tanks andpiping for both unloading and loading service. The liquefaction plant will be integratedwith the existing Terminal, which will then be capable of being operated in a bi-directional

manner so that both import and export functions can be performed. The Facility will bedesigned to produce nominally 10 million tons per annum (“MTPA”) of LNG in twophases. Phase 1 of the Project includes a single 5 MTPA pretreatment facility andliquefaction train (“Train 1”) and Phase 2 of the Project includes a second 5 MTPApretreatment facility and liquefaction train (“Train 2”). Design and construction of Train 1will accommodate certain provisions for Train 2 but Train 2 itself will be constructed inPhase 2.

Design and construction of Train 1 will accommodate certain provisions forTrain 2 but Train 2 itself will be constructed in Phase 2.

A Project overview and the proposed Project facilities boundary is shown on the attached mapping.GLLC will identify any non-jurisdictional facilities associated with its proposal for possible inclusion in

the scope of review as soon as possible.

The proposed Project will be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), withother federal agencies acting as cooperating partners in review of their respective jurisdictions under the

National Environmental Policy Act (“ NEPA”). GLLC will file for approval from the FERC in May 2014to use the FERC pre-filing process in preparing its application under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act.The FERC has established its pre-filing process to encourage natural gas project applicants to engage inearly project development involvement with the public and agencies, as contemplated by NEPA and theCouncil on Environmental Quality regulations.





Mr. Jim Woodrick April 21, 2014



b. Complete consultations, submit permit applications – April 2015c. Submit Section 3 application to FERC – April 2015

d. NEPA review period – April 2015 to February 2016e. Receive FERC Authorization – April 2016f. Start Construction – June 2016

Existing conditions at the Terminal have been previously analyzed in the Commission’s Final Environ-

mental Impact Statement that was published for the LNG Clean Energy Project (FERC Docket No. CP06-12-000 and CP06-13-000) in November 2006.

On behalf of GLLC, we respectfully request that the Mississippi Department of Archives and History re-view the information we have provided and determine its ability to participate in the Commission’s pre -

Subject: Missing Map from 5/9/14 Letter Confirming MDAH’s Participation in Pre-Filing Process

Project No.: 492903

Julia Ripley spoke with Greg Williamson. Julia asked Greg if the 5/9/2014 letter confirming MDAH’s participation in

the pre-filing process was intended to include a map. Julia noted the 5/9 letter references an attached map with

hatched markings, yet there was not attachment included with the 5/9 letter. Greg apologized and confirmed thatthe map had been mistakenly omitted from the correspondence. Greg planned to email Julia the map, and Julia

planned to insert the map as an attachment to the 5/9 letter.








Record of Communication

Date: June 11, 2014

Time: 10:50

Phone Call Participants: Greg Williamson (Mississippi Department of Archives and History) and James

Eberwine (R. Christopher Goodwin and Associates, Inc.)

Conversation: Mr. Eberwine called Mr. Williamson for clarification regarding his letter dated May 9,

2014. In that letter, Mr. Williamson stated, “We have some potential concerns regarding the cultural

resources in the project area… primarily in the hatched area of the enclosed map.” When asked, Mr.

Williamson stated that the project area lies in a portion of the Mississippi coast that is known to possess a

high likelihood for encountering Native American sites, particularly mound sites, and that is has not been

surveyed previously for cultural resources. Further, he stated that it was the opinion of the Mississippi

Department of Archives and History (MDAH) that a cultural resources survey was necessary for those

portions of the Gulf LNG Liquefaction Company LLC Project that fall within their concern areas. Mr.

Eberwine stated that he likely would use a combination of shovel and auger testing in these locales to

determine if buried cultural resources were present, and Mr. Williamson stated that those field

methodologies were appropriate. He went on to say that Mr. Eberwine could contact Mr. David Abbott of

the MDAH if he had any additional questions regarding survey methodology. Mr. Eberwine then thanked

Mr. Williamson for his time and ended the phone call.
