Caledonia Energy Partners, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Caledonia Storage Project

February 9, 2005.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the 
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Caledonia Energy Partners, 
L.L.C. (Caledonia) in the above-referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the 
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.

[[Page 7729]]

    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the proposed underground natural gas 
storage facility and related appurtenant facilities in Lowdnes County, 
Mississippi, including:
     Eight new injection/withdrawal storage wells;
     Three, 3,550-horsepower gas engine compressor units and 
ancillary facilities at a new compressor facility site;
     About 0.32 mile of small diameter well interconnect 
pipeline;
     About 0.85 mile of 24-inch-diameter pipeline to connect 
the wells to the compressor facility; and
     About 0.87 mile of 24-inch-diameter pipeline to connect 
the compressor facility to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company's interstate 
pipeline system.
    The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to convert a nearly 
depleted natural gas reservoir, known as the Caledonia Field, into a 
high-deliverability, multi-cycle gas storage field capable of storing 
11.7 billion cubic feet of working gas with an initial maximum 
withdrawal capacity of 330 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), and a 
maximum injection capability of 260 MMcf/d. Caledonia states the 
project would help meet the rising demand for gas storage in North 
America and serve local distribution company markets, gas fired 
electric generation markets, and liquefied natural gas markets that 
require high-cycling capability.
