E7–22832 Filed 11–21–07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717–01–P VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:16 Nov 21, 2007 Jkt 214001 The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Texas Gas Transmission, LLC’s (Texas Gas) under the abovereferenced docket. Texas Gas’s Fayetteville/Greenville Expansion Project (Project) would be located in Faulkner, Cleburne, White, Woodruff, St. Francis, Lee, and Phillips Counties, Arkansas; and Coahoma, Washington, Sunflower, Humphreys, Holmes, and Attalla Counties, Mississippi. The Draft EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that the proposed Project, with the appropriate mitigation measures as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The purpose of the Project is to add pipeline capacity to Texas Gas’s existing interstate pipeline system to transport the new natural gas supplies being developed from the Fayetteville Shale gas production area in north-central Arkansas to markets in the mid-western, northeastern, and southeastern United States. Texas Gas is proposing to construct at total of about 262.6 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline in two separate pipeline laterals, two tie-in laterals, a compressor station, and associated ancillary facilities. The Draft EIS addresses the potential environmental impacts resulting from the construction and operation of the following facilities: • Fayetteville Lateral: 166.2 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline in Faulkner, Cleburne, White, Woodruff, St. Francis, Lee, and Phillips Counties, Arkansas, and Coahoma County, Mississippi; • Greenville Lateral: 96.4 miles of 36inch-diameter pipeline in Washington, Sunflower, Humphreys, Holmes, and Attalla Counties, Mississippi; • 36-inch tie-in lateral: 0.8 mile of 36inch-diameter pipeline in Attalla County, Mississippi; • 20-inch tie-in lateral: 0.4 mile of 20inch-diameter pipeline in Attalla County, Mississippi; PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • the 10,650 horsepower Kosciusko Compressor Station in Attalla County, Mississippi; • twenty-nine metering and regulating stations; and • three pig launchers and three pig receivers. The entire project would be capable of transporting about 841,000 million British thermal units per day (Btu/d) of natural gas on the Fayetteville Lateral and about 768,000 MMBtu/d on the Greenville Lateral. Texas Gas proposes to construct the pipeline facilities in two phases. Phase I would include construction of the first 66 miles of the Fayetteville Lateral and related facilities from Conway County to the Bald Knob area of White County, Arkansas. Phase II would include construction of the remaining 100 miles of the Fayetteville Lateral from White County, Arkansas, to Coahoma County, Mississippi, the entire Greenville Lateral and associated tie-in laterals, and the Kosciusko Compressor Station. Texas Gas proposes beginning construction of both Phases I and II in June 2008. However, Phase I would be placed in service by August 1, 2008, and Phase II would be placed in service by January 1, 2009. Any person wishing to comment on the Draft EIS may do so. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded so that they may be considered in the Final EIS, please carefully follow these instructions: • Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. • Label one copy of your comments to the attention of Gas Branch 2, DG2E; • Reference Docket No. CP07–417– 000 on the original and both copies; and • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC, on or before January 7, 2008.
