The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will describe the environmental impacts of constructing and operating the Liberty Gas Storage, LLC’s (Liberty) proposed Liberty Gas Storage Expansion Project (Project) located in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana. The FERC will be the lead federal agency in the preparation of this EA which will satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and will be used by the FERC to consider the environmental impacts that could result if the Commission issues Liberty a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act. This notice announces the beginning of the scoping process1 we will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies about the proposed 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 March 28, 2008. This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties in this proceeding; and local libraries and 1 The National Environmental Policy Act requires the Commission to undertake a process to identify and address concerns the public may have about a proposed project.

We encourage government representatives to notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a Liberty representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain facilities necessary for the proposed Project. Liberty 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, Liberty 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?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov). 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. Cameron Interstate Pipeline in Calcasieu Parish; • One meter station; • Four brine disposal wells at an offsite location; and • An approximately 3.0-mile-long, 16-inch-diameter brine disposal pipeline, beginning at the proposed storage facility site and heading southeast to the proposed disposal wells. Additionally, Liberty is proposing to: • Utilize a nominal 100-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW) for construction of the proposed approximately 5.2-milelong, 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline (Liberty has also indicated that pipeline construction through Black Lake would require the use of a significantly wider construction ROW); • Utilize a nominal 65-foot-wide ROW for construction of the proposed approximately 3.0-mile-long, 16-inchdiameter brine disposal pipeline; and • Utilize permanent rights-of-way, 50 and 30 feet wide, for maintenance of the natural gas and brine disposal pipelines, respectively. A general map of the proposed facilities is provided in Appendix 1.2 Summary of the Proposed Project Liberty is proposing to construct and operate a new natural gas storage facility on an existing 159.5-acre industrial site, west of Hackberry, in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The proposed facility would primarily consist of: Four salt dome caverns capable of storing approximately a total of 24 billion cubic feet of natural gas; an 18,940 horsepower compressor station; and an approximately 5.2-mile-long, 36-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline. Specifically, Liberty is seeking authority to: • Convert three existing salt dome caverns and develop one new salt dome cavern for natural gas storage; • Install groundwater supply wells and pipelines; • Construct a brine pumping system and reservoir; • Construct a compressor station containing four natural gas driven reciprocating compressors; • Utilize construction staging areas and access roads; and • Construct other minor natural gas facilities associated with storage cavern development, compressor station and pipeline operation. Liberty is also seeking authority to construct: • An approximately 5.2-mile-long, 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline, beginning at the proposed storage facility site, heading northeast through Black Lake, and connecting to the Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed facilities including workspace, staging yards, and access roads would require the temporary use of approximately 336 acres of land. Operation and maintenance of the proposed facilities would require the permanent use of approximately 32 acres of land. Land affected by construction, but not required for operation and maintenance would be restored and allowed to revert to its former use. PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Environmental Review and Assessment Processes The Commission’s staff has initiated a pre-filing environmental review of Liberty’s proposed project. The purpose of the pre-filing environmental review is to identify and resolve potential environmental issues prior to the submission of an application for a Certificate by Liberty. During a prefiling environmental review, the public is encouraged to comment on environmental issues related to the proposed Project. Upon completion of staff’s pre-filing environmental review, Liberty has indicated that it would file an application for a Certificate.
