Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed USA Storage Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES January 17, 2007. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will discuss the environmental impacts of the USA Storage Project involving construction and operation of natural gas facilities by Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Virginia and West Virginia.1 DTI proposes to drill 14 new storage wells and install approximately a total of 1.57 miles of associated six-inch-diameter pipeline that would connect the new wells to the existing piping network within DTI’s Pennsylvania natural gas storage complexes. In addition, DTI plans to construct a new compressor station at its West Virginia storage complex and expand three of its existing compressor stations located in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. 1 DTI’s application was filed with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission’s regulations. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:19 Jan 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 This notice announces the opening of the public comment period that will be used to gather environmental input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Comments are requested by February 19, 2007. With this notice, the FERC staff is asking other federal, state, local and tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental issues to cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may choose to participate once they have evaluated DTI’s proposal relative to their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing comments described in Appendix 1. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with state law. A brochure prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Web site at https:// www.ferc.gov. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. Summary of the Proposed Project DTI seeks authority to construct and operate the following natural gas facilities: Potter and Clinton Counties, PA: • Drill six new storage wells and install a total of approximately 0.45 mile of new six-inch-diameter pipeline to connect the new wells to the existing storage piping network within DTI’s Greenlick Storage Complex; Tioga County, PA: • Drill eight new storage wells and install a total of about 1.52 miles of new six-inch-diameter pipeline to connect the new wells to the existing storage piping network within DTI’s Sabinsville Storage Complex; • Expand the existing Sabinsville Compressor Station by adding a 2,370 horsepower (HP) natural gas-fired reciprocating unit, a 5,800 HP gas PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3833 turbine and a desiccant dehydration capacity of 100 mmcfd; Gilmer County, WV: • Construct a new compressor station at the Racket-Newberne Storage Complex that would include a 1,150 HP natural gas-fired reciprocating unit and would have a glycol dehydration capacity of 50 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd); Fauquier County, VA: • Expand the existing Quantico Compressor Station by adding a 7,800 HP gas turbine; Steuben County, NY: • Expand the existing Woodhull Compressor Station by adding two additional 1,800 HP reciprocating units; and Frederick and Washington Counties, MD and Franklin County, PA: • Hydrostatically re-test three sections of DTI’s existing 30-inchdiameter PL–1 pipeline which would allow the system to operate at a 1,250 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) of Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP). The total pipeline length that would be hydrostatically retested is approximately 4.46 miles. The expansions of and additions to these existing natural gas facilities would allow DTI to meet its precedent agreements to provide 184,994 Dekatherms per day (Dt/d) of new firm transportation capacity on its existing PL–1 pipeline system for delivery to two existing delivery points. The new facilities would allow an additional 4.29 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas to be withdrawn from storage, which would be used to fulfill DTI’s increasing requests for service. The general locations of the project facilities are shown in Appendix 2.2 Land Requirements Construction and expansion of the proposed pipeline and aboveground facilities would affect approximately 132.61 acres of land and includes access roads, pipe/contractor yards, and extra work areas. Following construction, about 41.65 acres would be permanently maintained. The remaining 90.96 acres land would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use. 2 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the Federal Register.
