[Docket No. CP04–413–000]
Entrega Gas Pipeline Inc.; Notice of
Availability, Route Inspection, and
Public Comment Meetings on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Entrega Pipeline Project
February 25, 2005.
The environmental staff of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC
or Commission) has prepared a draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
on the interstate natural gas pipeline
transmission facilities proposed by
Entrega Gas Pipeline Inc. (Entrega) in
the above-referenced dockets.
The draft EIS was prepared to satisfy
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Its
purpose is to inform the Commission,
the public, and other permitting
agencies about the potential adverse and
beneficial environmental impacts
associated with the proposed project
and its alternatives, and to recommend
practical, reasonable, and appropriate
mitigation measures which would avoid
or reduce any significant adverse
impacts to the maximum extent
practicable and, where feasible, to less
than significant levels. The draft EIS
E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM
03MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 41 / Thursday, March 3, 2005 / Notices
concludes that the proposed project,
with the potential exception of two
route segments (the Piceance Basin
Expansion Route Alternative and the
Cheyenne Hub Variations), and with
appropriate mitigating measures as
recommended, would have limited
adverse environmental impact.
Additional public input is specifically
being sought on these two segments to
complete the routing analysis for the
final EIS.
The U.S. Department of Interior,
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
participated as a cooperating agency in
the preparation of the draft EIS because
the project would cross Federal lands
under BLM administration in Wyoming
and Colorado. The draft EIS will be used
by the BLM to consider the issuance of
a right-of-way (ROW) grant for the
portion of the project on Federal lands.
While the conclusions and
recommendations presented in the draft
EIS were developed with input from the
BLM as a cooperating agency, the BLM
will present its own conclusions and
recommendations in its Record of
Decision for the project.
Proposed Project
The Entrega Pipeline Project involves
the construction and operation of a new
interstate natural gas pipeline system
that would extend between a proposed
Meeker Hub in Rio Blanco County,
Colorado; Wamsutter, in Sweetwater
County, Wyoming; and the Cheyenne
Hub in Weld County, Colorado. The
draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following facilities in Colorado and
Wyoming:
• About 327.5 miles of new 36- and
42-inch-diameter pipeline—
49.8 miles in Wyoming (Sweetwater
County); and
—191.5 miles of 42-inch-diameter
pipeline, with 183.0 miles in
Wyoming (Sweetwater, Carbon,
Albany, and Laramie Counties) and
8.5 miles in Colorado (Larimer and
Weld Counties);
• Three new compressor stations (the
Meeker Hub and Bighole Compressor
Stations in Colorado, the Wamsutter
Compressor Station in Wyoming);
• Seven meters at interconnections
with other pipeline systems (three
associated with the new compressor
stations, four at the new Cheyenne Hub
Metering Station in Wyoming);
• Four pig launchers and four pig
receivers (six associated with
compressor and metering stations, one
launcher and one receiver at the new
Arlington Pigging Station in Wyoming);
• 22 mainline valves (5 valves at
compressor and metering stations, 17
valves along the pipeline ROW); and
• Other associated facilities, such as
access roads and powerlines.
The proposed project would be
capable of transporting up to 1.5 billion
cubic feet of natural gas per day from
the Meeker Hub Compressor Station to
interconnections at:
• Wamsutter, Wyoming with the
Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG)
and Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.
transmission systems that serve markets
east and west of Wamsutter; and
• The Cheyenne Hub (Weld County,
Colorado) with CIG, Cheyenne Plains
Gas Pipeline Company, Trailblazer
Pipeline Company, and Public Service
Company of Colorado. These systems
would transport gas to markets in the
Midwest and Central U.S. and the
Eastern Slope south of the Cheyenne
Hub.
Comment Procedures and Public
Meetings
Any person wishing to comment on
the draft EIS may do so. To ensure

About 327.5 miles of new 36- and 42-inch-diameter

--136.0 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline, with 86.2 miles in Colorado
(Rio Blanco and Moffat Counties) and 49.8 miles in Wyoming (Sweetwater
County); and
--191.5 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline, with 183.0 miles in Wyoming
(Sweetwater, Carbon, Albany, and Laramie Counties) and 8.5 miles in
Colorado (Larimer and Weld Counties);
Three new compressor stations (the Meeker Hub and Bighole

Seven meters at interconnections with other pipeline
systems (three associated with the new compressor stations, four at the

22 mainline valves (5 valves at compressor and metering

Other associated facilities, such as access roads and

The proposed project would be capable of transporting up to 1.5
billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Meeker Hub
Compressor Station to interconnections at:
Wamsutter, Wyoming with the Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (CIG) and Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. transmission systems
that serve markets east and west of Wamsutter; and
The Cheyenne Hub (Weld County, Colorado) with CIG,
Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline Company, Trailblazer Pipeline Company, and
Public Service Company of Colorado. These systems would transport gas
to markets in the Midwest and Central U.S. and the Eastern Slope south
of the Cheyenne Hub.
