Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding.

Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission’s environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission’s environmental review process.

(DTI) in Marshall County, West Virginia and Monroe County, Ohio. The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the Project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on August 23, 2014. You may submit comments in written form or verbally. Further details on how to submit written comments are in the Public Participation section of this notice. This notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for this Project. State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the Commission approves the Project, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state law. DTI provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ This fact sheet addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). Summary of the Proposed Project DTI proposes to construct, install, own, operate and maintain certain compression facilities located in Marshall County, West Virginia and Monroe County, Ohio. The Project would provide 250,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation service for CNX Gas Company, LLC at a proposed new interconnect known as the TETArman Hill Interconnect and at a proposed new interconnect known as the REX-German Ridge Interconnect, both of which are located in Monroe County, OH. According to DTI, its Project would create increased access for production in this region to major natural gas markets of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. The Clarington Project would consist of the following facilities: • A new 6,130 horsepower (hp) gas turbine/compressor package and auxiliary equipment at DTI’s existing Burch Ridge Station in Marshall County, WV; • Two new 5,000 hp reciprocating compression units and auxiliary equipment at DTI’s existing Mullett Station in Monroe County, OH; • 2,612 feet of new 20-inch-diameter suction piping and 2,756 feet of new 16inch-diameter discharge piping which would connect the Mullett Compressor Station to two proposed new interconnects; • Two new metering and regulation facilities in Monroe County, OH: The TET-Arman Hill Interconnect and the REX-German Ridge Interconnect; and • A 987-foot-long 16-inch-diameter pipeline section to connect the new proposed REX-German Ridge Interconnect to the Rockies Express Pipeline in Monroe County, OH.
