Second lawsuit targets LNG developer
Another lawsuit has been filed against a developer proposing a liquefied natural gas terminal at Pleasant Point in Down East Maine.
Lowell, Mass.-based TRC Environmental Corp. is suing Quoddy Bay LNG for more than $1 million for environmental services it says it performed but was not paid for, according to the Associated Press. TRC claims it provided services for the Oklahoma-based developer from April 2006 through January 2008, but Quoddy Bay stopped paying the firm about 10 months earlier. Quoddy Bay President Donald Smith told the AP the company ran out of money, but did not comment on the lawsuit because he hadn't seen it.
Coler & Colantonio Inc., a Massachusetts engineering firm, filed a lawsuit against Quoddy Bay last February, saying the company still owed it nearly $160,000 for work it did on the pipeline for the project. Quoddy Bay withdrew its application for state permits for the terminal in 2008, after federal regulators dismissed its application.
