Once in operation, this facility would support up to 12 specialized full-time LNG operator jobs. None of the 12 jobs are guaranteed to go to Person County residents.

From 2012 to 2023, there have been 37 reportable accidents/incidents at LNG facilities in the US. Of the 37 accidents/incidents, 15 were human error, 19 were equipment failure, and 3 were weather-related.

Facility-wide, the Moriah Energy Center could emit 65,579 tons of greenhouse gases each year, according to Dominion’s air permit application to the state. In addition, annual potential emissions include 35 tons of nitrogen oxide, 95 tons of carbon monoxide, 52.4 tons of volatile organic compounds, four tons of hazardous air pollutants and another four tons of fine particulate matter.

In 2008, contaminated soil was discovered at the LNG plant (Piedmont Natural Gas) built in Huntersville, NC. The state of NC required them to remove 7,140 tons of soil containing benzene and trichloroethylene. Following up on this incident the ground water was tested and was deemed contaminated also. They were to design and implement a program to monitor contamination in and around the site and to develop a Remediation program to implement the approved remedial strategy. As of July, 2017 the data from the samples still showed detectable above NC 2L standards.
