A NEW EFFORT TO HALT LNG
By Trish Graber, tgraber@sjnewsco.com

In the midst of a Supreme Court battle with New Jersey, Delaware has
taken another step toward blocking a liquefied natural gas terminal
proposed in Logan Township.

The State of Delaware has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) for "rehearing and clarification" of the project
approval granted to energy-giant British Petroleum in June.

Delaware's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
argues that federal officials violated state

regulations and failed to
address public concerns in approving BP's Crown Landing project
planned for construction on the banks of the Delaware River .

BP has proposed building the $600 million plant and shipping 120
million gallons of LNG -- natural gas chilled to minus-260 degrees --
to the facility for processing each week.
