[Docket No. CP02–90–003]
AES Ocean Express, L.L.C.; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed
Modifications to the Ocean Express
Pipeline Project
February 16, 2005.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) and the Mineral
Management Service (MMS) have
prepared this Environmental
Assessment (EA) to discuss the
environmental impacts of the
Modifications to the Ocean Express
Pipeline Project proposed by AES Ocean
Express, L.L.C. (Ocean Express) in the
above referenced docket. The proposed
project is located in Broward County,
Florida; State Waters of Florida; and
Federal Waters of the United States.
This EA has been prepared to comply
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations for implementing NEPA
(Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), sections 1500–1508), and the
Commission’s regulations (18 CFR part
380). The staff concludes that approval
of this proposal would not constitute a
major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment. The EA also evaluates
alternatives to the proposal, including
system alternatives; major route
alternatives; and route variations.
E:\FR\FM\23FEN1.SGM
23FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 23, 2005 / Notices
The FERC prepared this EA to address
the potential environmental impacts of
the proposed modifications. The
original project was addressed by the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the Ocean Express Pipeline Project
(FEIS) issued on November 28, 2003.
The modified project would use the
same methodologies for deepwater
construction and onshore construction.
However, the landfall portion of the
pipeline would be installed in a 14,000foot tunnel instead of the two HDD
segments and associated direct pipelay
on the seafloor. The tunnel amendment
would also incorporate minor route
changes to accommodate the
methodology. These minor route
changes would result in a slight
decrease in the length of the landfall
portion and thus the overall project
length.
Approximately 95 percent of the
original project analyzed in the FEIS is
relatively unchanged, with the
exception of the 2-inch increase in
pipeline diameter. The tunnel
amendment would increase the pipeline
diameter for the modified project from
24 inches to 26 inches and internally
coat the pipeline to allow increased
flow rates. Ocean Express does not
propose to increase the certificated
capacity (842,000 dekatherms/day).
Ocean Express proposes to install a
pressure reducing station inside the new
tunnel to reduce the onshore Maximum
Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP)
to 1,480 pounds per square inch gauge
(psig) or less from the certificated 2,200
psig. The modifications include an
access building at the tunnel shaft at the
Dania Beach Boulevard Traffic Circle
with a gas vent.

any comments or interventions to this
proceeding. See 18 CFR

Commission
[Project No. 1951–119]
Georgia Power Company; Notice of
Availability of Environmental
Assessment
February 16, 2005.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s (Commission)
regulations (18 CFR part 380),
Commission staff have prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) that
analyzes the environmental impacts of
allowing Georgia Power Company,
licensee for the Sinclair Hydroelectric
Project (FERC No. 1951), to amend the
existing project boundary. The current
project boundary at the 350-foot
elevation contour would be moved to
the 343-foot elevation contour or 25 feet
as measured from the reservoir’s full
pool elevation, whichever is greater.
The purpose of this boundary
amendment is to remove 3,650 acres of
primarily residential lands from the
project boundary, which the licensee
identifies as being neither for, nor
related to, project purposes. Areas
necessary for project purposes, such as
the project works and recreation sites,
would be exempt from the proposed
boundary change and remain within the
project boundary.
A copy of the EA is attached to a
Commission order titled ‘‘Order
Approving Change in Project
Boundary,’’ which was issued on
February 15, 2005, and is available for
review and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room
2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may
also be viewed on the Commission(s
website at https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘elibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number
(prefaced by P-) and excluding the last
three digits, in the docket number field
to access the document. For assistance,

AES Ocean Express, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the

February 16, 2005.
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or

The FERC prepared this EA to address the potential environmental
impacts of the proposed modifications. The original project was
addressed by the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Ocean

modified project would use the same methodologies for deepwater
construction and onshore construction. However, the landfall portion of
the pipeline would be installed in a 14,000-foot tunnel instead of the
two HDD segments and associated direct pipelay on the seafloor. The
tunnel amendment would also incorporate minor route changes to

a slight decrease in the length of the landfall portion and thus the

diameter for the modified project from 24 inches to 26 inches and
internally coat the pipeline to allow increased flow rates. Ocean
Express does not propose to increase the certificated capacity (842,000
dekatherms/day). Ocean Express proposes to install a pressure reducing
