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.

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

[[Page 10395]]

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--

--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 
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.

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY,

also provides access to the texts of formal documents issued by the 
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission now offers a free service called 
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances 
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time 
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with 
notification of these filings, document summaries and direct links to 
the documents. Go to the eSubscription link on the FERC Internet Web 
site.
    Information concerning the involvement of the BLM is available from 
Tom Hurshman, BLM Project Manager, at (970) 240-5345.
