What are the environmental impacts of an LNG terminal?
LNG terminals have very low environmental emissions. There are very limited air emissions and only rainwater is drained from the site. There are almost no chemicals used in the process, although we do add “odorant” to the gas to give it a smell so that you can detect if there is a leak (in its normal state, natural gas has no smell). No chemicals or other pollutants will be discharged into the Taunton River or the air. The plant is quiet and even a maximum operation will not be noticeable to the neighbors. We will maintain the existing remediation system, which is slowly removing the earlier contamination from the soil.
