The purpose of the G–II Project is to provide the facilities necessary to provide about 537,200 decatherms per day of additional natural gas capacity to Guardian’s existing pipeline system. The proposed additional capacity would facilitate the transport of natural gas to customers within the state of Wisconsin and provide those customers with the necessary infrastructure to support growth and competition within the natural gas marketplace. Guardian proposes to have the project constructed and operational by November 2008. The draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following natural gas pipeline facilities: • 83.6 miles of 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline in Jefferson, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Calumet, Brown, and Outagamie Counties, Wisconsin; E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM 20APN1 19920 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 76 / Friday, April 20, 2007 / Notices sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES • 25.9 miles of 20-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline in Brown and Outagamie Counties, Wisconsin; • two new 39,000 horsepower (hp) electric motor driven compressor stations including the Sycamore Compressor Station located in the Sycamore Township in DeKalb County, Illinois and the Bluff Creek Compressor Station located in the Town of La Grange in Walworth County, Wisconsin; • modifications to the existing Ixonia Meter Station in Jefferson County, Wisconsin and the construction of seven new meter stations in the Counties of Dodge, Fond du Lac, Calumet, Brown, and Outagamie Counties, Wisconsin; • two new pig launcher facilities including a 30-inch launcher within Guardian’s existing Ixonia Meter Station in Jefferson County, Wisconsin; a 30inch-diameter receiver and 20-inchdiameter launcher within the proposed Fox Valley Meter Station in Brown County, Wisconsin; and a 20-inchdiameter receiver within the proposed West Green Bay Meter Station in Outagamie County Wisconsin; and • six new mainline valves (MLV), four of which would occur along the 30inch-diameter pipeline in the counties of Dodge, Fond du Lac, and Calumet, Wisconsin and two which would occur along the 20-inch-diameter pipeline in Brown and Outagamie Counties, Wisconsin.
