An application for an amendment to CCL’s Section 10/404 Permit to authorize construction of the CCL Project was issued by the USACE in July 2014 and subsequently modified in October 2014. The TCEQ issued amended PSD permits for criteria pollutants and  greenhouse gas (“GHG”) in July 2018 to reflect updates related to refined operational direction and changes that were made during the design and procurement process. The Sabine Pass LNG terminal’s Section 10/404 Permit authorizing construction of Trains 1 through 4 was received from the USACE in March 2012. A modification to the Section 10/404 Permit, to address wetlands impacted by the construction of Trains 5 and 6, was issued by the USACE in June 2015. The USACE acted in the capacity as a cooperating agency in the review process under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

Three significant permits are the USACE Section 404 of the Clean Water Act/Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act Permit (the “Section 10/404 Permit”), the Clean Air Act Title V Operating Permit (the “Title V Permit”) and the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Permit (the “PSD Permit”), of which the latter two permits are issued by the LDEQ for the Sabine Pass LNG terminal and CTPL and by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) for the CCL Project. The construction and operation of the Sabine Pass LNG terminal and the CCL Project require additional federal permits, orders, approvals and consultations required by federal agencies, including the DOT, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”), U.S. Department of Commerce, National Marine Fisheries Services, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
