Iroquois Gas Transmission System,
L.P.; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Iroquois 08/09 Expansion
Project
January 4, 2008.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas facilities proposed by
Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.
(Iroquois) in the above-referenced
docket. The Iroquois 08/09 Expansion
Project would expand Iroquois’ existing
system to deliver up to 200,000
dekatherms per day of natural gas
transportation service to KeySpan Gas
East Corporation at South Commack,
Long Island.
The EA was prepared to satisfy the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 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 Iroquois’
proposed 08/09 Expansion Project.
Iroquois proposes to construct its
project in three phases which would
consist of: looping 1 its existing pipeline
system at three locations in New York
and Connecticut by November 1, 2008
(Phase 1); constructing a new
compressor station in Milford,
Connecticut with 20,620 horsepower of
compression by January 1, 2009 (Phase
2); and adding a 10,310 horsepower
compressor unit to Iroquois’ Brookfield
Compressor Station in Brookfield,
Connecticut by November 1, 2009
(Phase 3).2
The Phase 1 pipeline looping would
include construction of 5.8 miles of 36inch-diameter pipeline in Boonville,
New York; 1.0 miles of 36-inch-diameter
pipeline in Wright, New York; and 1.6
miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline in
Newtown, Connecticut. The new
pipeline segments would be located
adjacent to Iroquois’ existing pipeline at
these locations.
The EA has been placed in the public
files of the FERC. A limited number of
copies of the EA are available for
distribution and public inspection at:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
Public Reference Room, 888 First Street,
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
(202) 502–8371.
Copies of the EA have been mailed to
federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals,
newspapers, and parties to this
proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on
the EA may do so. To ensure
consideration prior to a Commission
decision on the proposal, it is important
that we receive your comments before
the date specified below. Please
carefully follow these instructions to
ensure that your comments are received
in time and properly recorded:

approved by the Commission on December 21,
2006, as part of Iroquois’ Market Access Project in
Docket No. CP02–31–002. Construction of the
