The Suffolk Times | DOS disputes Broadwater assessment
Asks FERC to seek more information on alternative sites
By Denise Civiletti
The New York Department of State has notified the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that it does not agree with Broadwater Energy's negative assessment of possible alternative sites for Broadwater's proposed liquefied natural gas facility.
In a July 3 letter to FERC, the DOS recommended that the federal commission consider Atlantic Ocean sites as viable alternatives to the Long Island Sound site proposed by Broadwater, challenging Broadwater's conclusion, transmitted to FERC by covering letter of June 20, that the Sound site is the preferred location.
