LNG in PR?	Fulfilling legal requirements
LNG in PR?	Birds & Bees counted

But What about Safety??

2 areas questioned: docking and storage

There was an engineer present at the open house who was able to address my questions – as he was most knowledgeable person there I chose mainly questions he could address:

(I have taped his responses – listen to WAV file links)

1) On left is the interface between LNG tanker and the land based storage facilities

See also image below left;

Emergency shut down :ESD 1 WAV 370K
and ESD2 WAV 276K
Essentially vapor detectors have escalating automated responses

‘Troughs’ along pipeline to storage tanks to contain leaks WAV 247K

Earthquake stability in Federal rusles ‘In Kobe earthquake only the LNG storage tanks survived intact’ WAV 263K

What if Tsunami question ---not answered

LNG tanker at end of long jetty (area is very shallow on all sides; note small island marked with 1 –LG note)

Storage tanks will not have containment wall (image upper left 5) as does image 4 because tanks themselves double walled

Web Info

This glossy brochure has all the info covered in public consultations for Washington State audience --- PDF is 2.3 megs and clunky to handle but good presentation

Second PDF (1.7 megs) from NJ (image left) note how much more compact the site is; how protected the tankers are etc (compare with PR site where acres of space for same number tanks etc

This is the stage at now—only 2 items left to complete before OK given
