Sierra Club Press Release: Environmental Groups Challenge Re-Issued Permit for Commonwealth LNG
Today, three environmental groups filed a challenge to the reissued coastal use permit for the proposed Commonwealth LNG export facility. The Sierra Club, Louisiana Bucket Brigade, and Turtle Island Restoration Network filed the challenge in state court, citing the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy’s failure to provide proper public notice, allow for public comment, or give an opportunity for a public hearing on the agency’s re-issuance of its coastal use permit for construction of the Commonwealth LNG facility.
