This bill addresses the regulation of any potential location of a liquefied natural gas terminal in the State of Delaware. Such a facility is treated under this legislation the same way as incinerators. That is, any such facility would require a permit from DNREC and such permit would issue only where the liquefied natural gas terminal was located in an area zoned for heavy industrial activity and was at least 3 miles from residential communities, churches, parks, schools and hospitals.

An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Liquefied Natural Gas Terminals.
