The City of Tacoma has fully complied with the SEPA rules regarding notification and SEPA documentation for this proposal as required under WAC 197-11 and RCW 43.21C.080. Description of Proposal: Puget Sound Energy intends to develop a natural gas liquefaction and storage facility in the City of Tacoma on a 33-acre site on the Blair Hylebos Peninsula in the Port of Tacoma in an area designated for redevelopment. The facility would chill approximately 250,000 gallons of natural gas into liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) daily for use as a reduced-emissions fuel for marine vessels and land-based vehicles, as well as for utility peak shaving during periods of high demand. A single 8-million gallon, non-pressurized full-containment LNG storage tank consisting of an inner nickel-steel tank and an outer concrete tank with interstitial insulation, would be located on the site. The facility would include infrastructure for loading marine vessels and/or bunker barges with LNG. An existing pier on the Hylebos waterway will be replaced and a new fueling platform and mooring dolphins will be installed on the Blair waterway. The facility will be built to the nation’s most current safety standards for this type of facility. The liquefaction facility would receive natural gas from PSE’s existing natural gas pipeline distribution system. Two new segments would be added to the distribution system to serve the facility – an approximately 1-mile distribution pipeline in unincorporated Pierce County that will connect two existing distribution lines, and an approximately 4-mile distribution pipeline that will extend from the City of Fife into Tacoma to reach the liquefaction facility. The proposed distribution system improvements would include one new limit station and modifications to one existing gate station, both of which would be located in unincorporated Pierce County.
