MarkWest Pioneer, L.L.C.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Arkoma Connector Pipeline 
Project; and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

January 18, 2008.
    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 proposed Arkoma Connector 
Pipeline Project which involves the construction and operation of 
natural gas pipeline facilities in Coal, Atoka, and Bryan Counties, 
Oklahoma. This notice announces the opening of the scoping period that 
will be used to gather environmental input from the public and 
interested agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission 
staff determine which issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please 
note that the scoping period will close on February 20, 2008.
    Comments may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further 
details on how to submit written comments are provided in the Public 
Participation portion of this notice.
    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. 
MarkWest Pioneer, L.L.C. (MarkWest) 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

[[Page 4859]]

agreement, MarkWest could initiate condemnation proceedings in 
accordance with state law.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state, 
and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; 
Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries 
and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to 
notify their constituents of this proposed project and to encourage 
them to comment on their areas of concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural 
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' 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

    MarkWest seeks authorization to construct new pipeline facilities 
in Coal, Atoka, and Bryan Counties, Oklahoma. The Arkoma Connector 
Pipeline Project would consist of about 50 miles of 24-inch-diameter 
pipeline, a 10,000-horsepower compressor station and associated 
facilities, and two meter stations. The pipeline project would be 
designed to deliver a peak day capacity of 300,000 to 350,000 
decatherms of natural gas from producers in the Arkoma Basin area of 
southeastern Oklahoma to the Midcontinent Express Pipeline that is 
currently proposed under Docket No. CP08-6-000. The general location of 
the proposed project facilities is shown in Appendix 1.\1\

printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices are 
available on the Commission's Web site at the ``eLibrary'' link or 
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, or call (202) 502-8371. For instructions on 
connecting to eLibrary refer to the last page of this notice. Copies 
of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in 
the mail. Requests for detailed maps of the proposed facilities 
should be made directly to MarkWest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed project would affect a total of about 
629 acres. Following construction, about 319 acres would be allowed to 
revert to its previous conditions. Disturbance associated with 
aboveground facilities would permanently impact approximately 10 acres 
of land. The compressor station would require about 8 acres and the two 
meter stations would each require about 1 acre of disturbance. MarkWest 
would seek a 90-foot-wide construction right-of-way for the pipeline, 
and would maintain a 50-foot-wide permanent right-of-way for operation 
of the pipeline.

The EA Process

    We \2\ are preparing this EA to comply with the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the Commission to take 
into account the environmental impact that could result if it 
authorizes MarkWest's proposal. By this notice, we are also asking 
federal, state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or special 
expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate 
with us in the preparation of the EA. Agencies that would like to 
request cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing 
comments provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff 
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NEPA also requires the FERC 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, we are requesting public comments on the scope of the 
issues to address in the EA. All comments received will be considered 
during the preparation of the EA.
    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of 
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these 
general headings:
     Geology and soils.
     Land use.
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands.
     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.
    Although no formal application has been filed, the FERC staff has 
already initiated its NEPA review under its Pre-filing Process. The 
purpose of the Pre-filing Process is to encourage the early involvement 
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before an 
application is filed with the FERC.
