DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP05–8–000]
Starks Gas Storage L.L.C.; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Starks
Gas Storage Project
June 2, 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 Starks Gas Storage L.L.C. (Starks Gas
Storage) in the above-referenced docket
number.
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.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
proposed Starks Gas Storage Project in
Calcasieu and Beauregard Parishes,
Louisiana. The Starks Gas Storage
Project would initially utilize Starks No.
1 cavern to store approximately 13.3
billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas,
comprised of approximately 8.8 Bcf of
working or top gas and approximately
4.5 Bcf of base or cushion gas. Facilities
would be designed to allow cycling of
the entire storage volume 5 to 6 times
per year with injections and
withdrawals of approximately 400
million cubic feet per day (MMcfd).
Starks No. 2 cavern would be available
for similar conversion to gas storage
approximately 18 months later, adding
an incremental working gas volume of
approximately 10.4 Bcf and
approximately 5.3 Bcf of base gas and
the overall project injection and
E:\FR\FM\08JNN1.SGM
08JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 8, 2005 / Notices
withdrawal rates would double. The
total storage volume of Starks No. 2
cavern would be approximately 15.6
Bcf.
In Docket No. CP05–8–000, Starks Gas
Storage proposes to construct, operate,
and maintain the following facilities.
The proposed natural gas and brine
disposal pipelines connected with the
future natural gas storage caverns and
debrining operations of the existing
brine wells west of the proposed Starks
Compressor Station are designated as
mileposts (MP) 0.00—0.68 on Segment
1. The proposed natural gas and brine
disposal pipelines east of the proposed
Starks Compressor Station are
designated as MPs 0.00–33.77 on
Segments 2 and 3. The proposed
facilities include:
• Conversion of two existing brine
extraction wells (formerly called PPG–
10 and PPG–9) to natural gas storage
caverns (Starks No. 1 at MP 0.68 and
Starks No. 2 at MP 0.47, respectively, on
Segment 1) with a combined maximum
capacity to store approximately 28.9 Bcf
of natural gas, comprised of
approximately 19.2 Bcf of working
capacity and approximately 9.7 Bcf of
cushion gas, with withdrawal rates of
800 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd)
and peak injection rates of 750 MMcfd;
• About 0.88 mile of two new 16-inch
diameter natural gas pipelines and two
new collocated 10-inch diameter brine
disposal pipelines associated with the
interconnects on the Starks salt dome
west of the Starks Compressor Station
from MP 0.00 to 0.68 (identified as
Segment 1);
• About 1.80 miles of new 30-inch
diameter natural gas pipeline from the
Starks Compressor Station to the
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee Gas) interconnect from MP
0.0 to MP 1.8 (identified as Segment 2)
and about 1.2 miles of new collocated
10-inch diameter brine disposal line
from the Starks Compressor Station to
the salt water disposal (SWD) injection
wells from MP 0.00 to 1.21 (identified
as Segment 2a);
• About 31.97 miles (a continuation)
of the new 30-inch diameter natural gas
pipeline from the Tennessee Gas
interconnect terminating at the Texas
Eastern Transmission LP (Texas Eastern)
interconnect in Beauregard Parish from
MP 1.80 to 33.77 (identified as Segment
3);
• A new compressor station with
dehydration facilities (Starks
Compressor Station) at MP 0.00,
including seven natural gas fueled
reciprocating engine driven
reciprocating compressor units each
rated at 4,735 brake horsepower (BHP),
with seven exhaust noise silencers with
VerDate jul<14>2003

integral emission control catalysts, and
related piping, valves, controls, and
buildings; two triethylene glycol (TEG)
dehydration units and appurtenant,
auxiliary facilities with one vapor
recovery/condensing unit and one
thermal oxidizer;
• Three new interconnect valve
stations connecting to existing natural
gas pipelines at the Tennessee Gas (MP
1.80), Transco (MP 29.80), and Texas
Eastern pipelines (MP 33.77) on
Segments 2 and 3;
• Three temporary natural gas fueled
reciprocating engine driven
reciprocating compressor units each
rated at 1,150 BHP, with three exhaust
noise silencers with integral emission
control catalysts for dewatering existing
brine extraction well (PPG–9), located at
the Starks Compressor Station;
• Three new natural gas fueled
reciprocating engine driven centrifugal
multi-stage pumps rated at 860 BHP,
with three exhaust noise silencers with
integral emission control catalysts for
injecting dewatered brine from the
caverns into two disposal wells, located
at the Starks Compressor Station;
• Two new brine injection (SWD)
wells, MP 1.21 on Segment 2, located on
a two-acre tract to dispose of any
surplus brine removed from the two
caverns as they are converted to gas
storage service; and
• One temporary skid mounted brine
disposal meter system, first located at
Starks No. 1 (MP 0.68) and then at
Starks No. 2 (MP 0.47) on Segment 1.

[Docket No. CP05-8-000]
Starks Gas Storage L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Starks Gas Storage Project
June 2, 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 Starks Gas Storage L.L.C.
(Starks Gas Storage) in the above-referenced docket number.
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.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the proposed Starks Gas Storage Project
in Calcasieu and Beauregard Parishes, Louisiana. The Starks Gas Storage
Project would initially utilize Starks No. 1 cavern to store
approximately 13.3 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas, comprised
of approximately 8.8 Bcf of working or top gas and approximately 4.5
Bcf of base or cushion gas. Facilities would be designed to allow
cycling of the entire storage volume 5 to 6 times per year with
injections and withdrawals of approximately 400 million cubic feet per
day (MMcfd). Starks No. 2 cavern would be available for similar
conversion to gas storage approximately 18 months later, adding an
incremental working gas volume of approximately 10.4 Bcf and
approximately 5.3 Bcf of base gas and the overall project injection and
[[Page 33471]]
withdrawal rates would double. The total storage volume of Starks No. 2
cavern would be approximately 15.6 Bcf.
In Docket No. CP05-8-000, Starks Gas Storage proposes to construct,
operate, and maintain the following facilities. The proposed natural
gas and brine disposal pipelines connected with the future natural gas
storage caverns and debrining operations of the existing brine wells
west of the proposed Starks Compressor Station are designated as
mileposts (MP) 0.00--0.68 on Segment 1. The proposed natural gas and
brine disposal pipelines east of the proposed Starks Compressor Station
are designated as MPs 0.00-33.77 on Segments 2 and 3. The proposed
facilities include:
Conversion of two existing brine extraction wells
(formerly called PPG-10 and PPG-9) to natural gas storage caverns
(Starks No. 1 at MP 0.68 and Starks No. 2 at MP 0.47, respectively, on
Segment 1) with a combined maximum capacity to store approximately 28.9
Bcf of natural gas, comprised of approximately 19.2 Bcf of working
capacity and approximately 9.7 Bcf of cushion gas, with withdrawal
rates of 800 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) and peak injection
rates of 750 MMcfd;
About 0.88 mile of two new 16-inch diameter natural gas
pipelines and two new collocated 10-inch diameter brine disposal
pipelines associated with the interconnects on the Starks salt dome
west of the Starks Compressor Station from MP 0.00 to 0.68 (identified
as Segment 1);
About 1.80 miles of new 30-inch diameter natural gas
pipeline from the Starks Compressor Station to the Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Company (Tennessee Gas) interconnect from MP 0.0 to MP 1.8
(identified as Segment 2) and about 1.2 miles of new collocated 10-inch
diameter brine disposal line from the Starks Compressor Station to the
salt water disposal (SWD) injection wells from MP 0.00 to 1.21
(identified as Segment 2a);
About 31.97 miles (a continuation) of the new 30-inch
diameter natural gas pipeline from the Tennessee Gas interconnect
terminating at the Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Texas Eastern)
interconnect in Beauregard Parish from MP 1.80 to 33.77 (identified as
Segment 3);
A new compressor station with dehydration facilities
(Starks Compressor Station) at MP 0.00, including seven natural gas
fueled reciprocating engine driven reciprocating compressor units each
rated at 4,735 brake horsepower (BHP), with seven exhaust noise
silencers with integral emission control catalysts, and related piping,
valves, controls, and buildings; two triethylene glycol (TEG)
dehydration units and appurtenant, auxiliary facilities with one vapor
recovery/condensing unit and one thermal oxidizer;
Three new interconnect valve stations connecting to
existing natural gas pipelines at the Tennessee Gas (MP 1.80), Transco
(MP 29.80), and Texas Eastern pipelines (MP 33.77) on Segments 2 and 3;
Three temporary natural gas fueled reciprocating engine
driven reciprocating compressor units each rated at 1,150 BHP, with
three exhaust noise silencers with integral emission control catalysts
for dewatering existing brine extraction well (PPG-9), located at the
Starks Compressor Station;
Three new natural gas fueled reciprocating engine driven
centrifugal multi-stage pumps rated at 860 BHP, with three exhaust
noise silencers with integral emission control catalysts for injecting
