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 North Welda Storage Field Expansion Project involving construction and operation of facilities by Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star) in and to an existing gas storage field in Anderson County, Kansas.1 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. 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 fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ was attached to the project notice that Southern Star provided to landowners. 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. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (https://www.ferc.gov). Summary of the Proposed Project Southern Star is proposing to: (1) Expand the existing certificated boundary and buffer zone of its existing storage field by acquiring certain property rights to approximately 1,240 acres; (2) to redefine the cap rock of the 1 Southern Star’s application was filed with the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.

Southern Star seeks authority to install an AJAX DPC–180 (173 bhp) skid mounted compressor package unit, building, and auxiliary facilities on a 150 by 150-foot lot. Southern Star would install certain minor facilities under separate authorization of its Blanket Certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–479–000. The minor facilities would include 3.5 miles of 4-inch diameter suction storage lateral, 300 feet of 4-inch discharge lateral, and three oil/gas separators with collection tanks. The lateral system would connect 6 existing oil wells (Squirrel Wells 1 through 6) which would be converted to pressure recovery wells. The location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1.2 Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed facilities would require about 8.7 acres of land. Following construction, about 1.8 acres would be maintained as new aboveground facility sites and permanent rights-of-way. The remaining 6.9 acres of land would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use (primarily pasture/hayland). cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES The EA Process The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity.

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Intent To 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed North Welda 
Storage Field Expansion Project and Request for Comments on 
Environmental Issues

April 30, 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 North Welda Storage Field 
Expansion Project involving construction and operation of facilities by 
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star) in and to an 
existing gas storage field in Anderson County, Kansas.\1\ 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\ Southern Star's application was filed with the Commission 
under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural 
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the 
project notice that Southern Star provided to landowners. 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. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site 
(https://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Southern Star is proposing to: (1) Expand the existing certificated 
boundary and buffer zone of its existing storage field by acquiring 
certain property rights to approximately 1,240 acres; (2) to redefine 
the cap rock of the

revise the maximum certificated wellhead shut-in pressure and restate 
the maximum certificated capacity at Southern Star's existing North 
Welda Storage Field located in Anderson County, Kansas. Southern Star 
seeks authority to install an AJAX DPC-180 (173 bhp) skid mounted 
compressor package unit, building, and auxiliary facilities on a 150 by 
150-foot lot. Southern Star would install certain minor facilities

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would require about 8.7 
acres of land. Following construction, about 1.8 acres would be 
maintained as new aboveground facility sites and permanent rights-of-
way. The remaining 6.9 acres of land would be restored and allowed to 
revert to its former use (primarily pasture/hayland).

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the 
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could 
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us 
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. 
This process is referred to as ``scoping''. The main goal of the 
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important 
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff 
requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the 
EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the 
EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify 
their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to 
comment on their areas of concern.
    In the EA we \3\ will discuss impacts that could occur as a result 
of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these 
general headings:

     Cultural resources.
     Vegetation and wildlife.
     Air quality and noise.
     Endangered and threatened species.
     Hazardous waste.
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project 
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen 
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending 
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be 
published and mailed to Federal, State, and local agencies, public 
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners, 
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for 
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA 
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make 
our recommendations to the Commission.
