Changes to Tacoma Liquefied Natural Gas facility permit proposed by PSE
A virtual public hearing is planned this month to hear feedback on proposed modifications to certain regulations over Tacoma’s LNG facility. Puget Sound Energy, which operates the site, outlined the requested changes in a May 3, 2024 letter to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. The letter stated that “The revisions requested in this letter are limited to process equipment and reporting conditions and do not affect the operations of the flare. None of the requested changes affect the facility’s emissions estimates, stack parameters, air dispersion calculations or other potential environmental impacts as reviewed by the Agency under the State Environmental Policy Act.” The Puyallup Tribe of Indians and others are urging the agency to deny the requested modifications or require independent analysis and public comment before any final decisions are made. In its letter from Sept. 18, the Tribe stated that it was “somewhat unbelievable” PSCAA did not provide notice to the Tribe of PSE’s application for modification to its order of approval, given the Tribe and PSCAA’s previous interactions involving the LNG plant, and that “the interests and impacts to the Tribe are well known to PSCAA.” “PSCAA is well aware of the Tribe’s concerns with this facility,”
