LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

FERC Approves AES Sparrows Point LNG Terminal
LCG, January 16, 2009--The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) yesterday approved the proposed Sparrows Point LNG (liquefied natural gas) Terminal, together with the connecting interstate pipeline designed to receive and deliver 1.5 Bcf/day of natural gas to Northeast and Mid-Atlantic energy markets. The LNG terminal and pipeline are proposed by subsidiaries of The AES Corporation.
The site for the proposed LNG terminal is at Sparrows Point, southeast of Baltimore in Baltimore County, Maryland. LNG tankers will deliver liquefied natural gas to the terminal, where there will be storage capacity of up to 480,000 cubic meters of LNG. The gas will be vaporized at the terminal and transported via pipeline to the natural gas transportation network for use throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast energy markets.
The Mid-Atlantic Express pipeline project will extend in a northeasterly direction approximately 88 miles and will use 30-inch diameter pipe. The route will follow existing utility and/or roadway rights-of-way to the maximum extent practicable.
The FERC voted 4-1 to approve the project, and the approval includes 169 conditions that will protect public safety and mitigate any adverse environmental impact.
The project was approved over opposition from Maryland's congressional delegation, which requested the decision be delayed until the President-elect takes office. Stated concerns included that the LNG facility would pose a security risk and threaten endangered Chesapeake Bay species.
