7/27/2019 Developer blames FERC for delay of proposed LNG terminal in Fundy

The Calgary Herald, the Canadian Press, and other sources, reported Girdisʼs nation-wide anti-safety, anti-regulatory permitting-condemnation remarks in Canada...

•"Calgary Herald, Calgary, Alberta, 2013 Sep 19

http://www.calgaryherald.com/business/Canadian+faces+race+access+markets/8929334/story.html

An American LNG facility developer on the panel said U.S. developers face atougher regulatory burden than Canadians, because of the lack of political sup-port for exporting natural gas and related opposition from those who dislike hy-draulic fracturing or fracking needed to develop the shale gas plays that have

created the gas surplus.

“Time is what kills projects,” said CEO Dean Girdis of Downeast LNG, adding:“Trust me, you do not want to do one in the States.”

Girdis said he founded Downeast in 2004 to import LNG to Maine because theU.S. was short of gas at the time.

He said Downeast applied for permission from the Federal Energy RegulatoryCommission to build the project in 2005 and, seven and a half years later, de-spite having no major problems identified, he still has not been issued a finalenvironmental impact statement.

He said heʼs optimistic permission will come this winter.

"Downeast LNG will evaluate the LNG market once we receive our importauthorization from FERC and determine our next steps," he said.
