On November 14, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a Texas permit issued to a huge proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, Sempra Energy's $13 billion Port Arthur LNG project in Jefferson County. The court was responding to a civil suit brought by the Port Arthur Community Action Network, which sued the Texas Commission on Enviorn-mental Quality, the permit-granting authority. The court agreed with the plaintiffs' contention that the TCEQ treated the Sempra facility-specifically, its allowable emissions - differently than a similar proposed project, Rio Grande LLC. company said. |
