  • Abstract:
    The objectives of the monitoring program are (1) to maintain seasonal environmental and ecological data so that conditions existing during operations can be related to historical baseline conditions; (2) to detect during the operation of the deepwater port any adverse alterations or damages to the environment so that corrective action can be taken as soon as possible; (3) to maintain sufficient data to determine the cause or causes of environmental damages or alterations so that responsibility can be properly placed; and (4) to provide information in order to evaluate long and short-term impacts of the deepwater port.

    The current LOOP monitoring program includes seasonal monitoring of aquatic and marine resources, sediment composition, and water quality on a five -year cycle. These data provide an update to the existing long-term LOOP dataset that was collected annually from 1979 to 1994, as well as a measure of natural environmental variability in the project area. The monitoring program was designed to identify environmental impacts that could occur due to offshore vessel operations (at the Single-Point Mooring and Terminal Complex), brine discharge, storage facility operations, and pipeline construction and operation.
