The WWALS Watershed Coalition has retained a D.C. law firm to fight FERC in federal court for disclaiming jurisdiction over inland LNG export facilities.
WWALS is focusing on two main issues that are a direct result of FERC's action.
1. The "unintended consequences," and
2. The regulatory gap FERC has created
WWALS believes that citizens who live, work or play along the FECR tracks are in harm's way from the dangerous and unprecedented transport of LNG by rail through densely populated areas of Florida. WWALS included this concern under their list of "unintended consequences" in their Complaint.
WWALS is looking for people who are willing to join WWALS in their fight against FERC, e.g. individuals, neighborhood groups or environmental groups that are not precluded from getting involved in litigation of this nature.
Since WWALS has retained the law firm, anyone who lives, works or plays near the tracks, could become a Plaintiff in our action - AT NO COST TO THEM. WWALS is raising the money needed for legal fees, etc. We just need names.
Thanks for your interest in the pending LNG export lawsuit.

LNG in Florida: Land Use in 1 mile exclusion zone 2019-04-1
Sixty five schools are within one mile of explosive Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) facilities or transport routes in Florida.
Fifteen percent is high intensity urban of the area a mile around the 7 LNG plants studied. That means lots of people near these dangerous facilities.
24% of land within a mile of Florida LNG transport routes is high intensity urban, with another 7% low intensity urban. So many people are at risk, in addition to estuaries, wetlands, forests, crops,a nd pastures.
This study was done by Wiley Griffin, a student of Valdosta State University Geology Professor Can Denizman, at the suggestion of WWALS Watershed Coalition.
