Background
Atlantic Sea Island Group proposes to construct, own and operate a liquefied natural gas receiving, storage and regasification facility named "Safe Harbor Energy" that will be capable of delivering up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the New York metropolitan region. The facility will be located on an island to be constructed in federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf ("OCS"), approximately 13.5 miles south of the city of Long Beach, New York, on Long Island and 23 miles southeast of the New York Harbor entrance. The island will be constructed in an open area of the ocean between the Ambrose-to-Nantucket and Hudson Canyon-to-Ambrose international shipping lanes. This project location allows LNG tankers to use established shipping lanes to access the facility, while minimizing interference with commercial shipping and recreational users. The project location, at approximately 40° 23' 19" N and 73° 36' 35" W, is in water depth of approximately 60 to 70 feet. The island will be constructed of natural sand, gravel, and rock materials, surrounded by armored breakwaters, consisting of prefabricated caissons, prefabricated armor units and rock, and capable of withstanding a 200-year storm. Safe Harbor Energy anticipated the first shipment of LNG to the facility in 2014, but failed to meet this target. Construction remained ongoing.[2]
In July of 2010, Atlantic Sea Island Group withdrew its application for permits. Although they reserved the right to renew its application for a manmade island 19 miles off Sandy Hook, environmentalists say the proposal is "dead in the water".[3]
As of 2014, there had been no development updates since 2010, and the project was presumed to be cancelled.
