The proposed project includes the construction of various facilities on Ocean Cay, as shown on Figure 1. There will also be a natural gas pipeline to Florida that is shown on Figure 2. The proposed project components are summarized below:

• LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Terminal. An LNG terminal will be constructed on the south side of Ocean Cay consisting of berthing facilities which will be designed and constructed to receive LNG from tanker ships;
  
• LNG Storage. LNG storage on Ocean Cay will consist of two 160,000 m³ (1 million barrels (bbl)) LNG tanks within secondary containment berms constructed on the southwest of Ocean Cay. Associated compressor equipment will also be present;
  
• *LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Terminal. An LPG terminal will be constructed on the south side of Ocean Cay consisting of berthing facility used for loading ships for transport to market locations;
  
• *LPG Storage. LPG storage on Ocean Cay will consist of a 40,000 m³ (251,600 bbl) tank located within a secondary containment berm. The tank will receive LPG from the LPG removal operation for storage before shipment off the island;
  
• *LPG Removal Plant. An LPG removal plant will be constructed adjacent to the LNG storage tanks. The plant will receive LNG from the tanks. Propane, butane and other gases will be removed from the LNG and piped to the LPG Tank for storage. Following the removal of the LPG, the LNG will be directed to the regasification and sendout system;
  
• Natural Gas Pipeline to the EEZ Boundary. A 26in undersea natural gas pipeline, designated as the Ocean Cay Pipeline, will be constructed extending from Ocean Cay to the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) boundary between The Bahamas and the United States. At the EEZ boundary, the Ocean Cay Pipeline will interconnect with a new, 26in, undersea natural gas pipeline extending to delivery points in Broward County, Florida. This pipeline will provide approximately 22.7 million cubic meters per day (mmcmd) (842 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd)) of delivery capacity;
  
• Regasification and Sendout System and Ancillary Structures. A regasification and sendout system, and ancillary support structures will be constructed on Ocean Cay. The ancillary structures will include an auxiliary equipment building, an administration building, a warehouse, and a compressor building. Auxiliary systems will include fire fighting equipment and leak detection systems;
  
• Ancillary Electricity Generation. Three 15-MW natural gas-fired turbine generators or reciprocating engines will be installed on Ocean Cay to generate electric power for the project facilities load, which is expected to be 30 MW, which will require 2 units in operation at all times. The third unit will serve as a standby unit. One of these units will be dual fuel fired with gas and fuel oil for reliability purposes; and
  
• Desalination Plant. A 50,000 GPD capacity desalination unit will be constructed and operated on Ocean Cay, for potable and process water supply. The desalination unit will be a two-stage reverse osmosis (RO) unit.
  
  
*Note that while these LPG facilities have been proposed to the Bahamian government and indeed are set forth, conceptually, in the EIA, AES Ocean LNG does not currently plan to construct such facilities.
