The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Steckman Ridge, LP (Steckman), in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. 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 the proposed project. Steckman proposes to convert a depleted natural gas production field into a multi-cycle natural gas storage facility located in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Specifically, the project would include: • Removal and/or abandonment of existing production field piping and aboveground equipment; • Conversion of 5 depleted production wells into storage wells; • Drilling and development of 18 new storage wells and construction of wellhead facilities; • Construction of a storage field pipeline network and associated aboveground facilities including launcher/receiver facilities and valve sites; and • Construction of one 9,000 horsepower compressor station, including a meter and regulator station, common launcher and receiver facility, and other associate appurtenances. The storage field piping network would include the Trunk Line 91 (about E:\FR\FM\14MRN1.SGM 14MRN1 rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES 13882 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 51 / Friday, March 14, 2008 / Notices 2.8 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline), Trunk Line 90 (about 4.1 miles of 16inch diameter pipeline), and 23 well laterals totaling 3.5 miles of 6-inch, 8inch, and 10-inch diameter pipeline. The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to provide about 17.7 billion cubic feet (Bcf) total capacity (up to 12 Bcf would be working capacity and 5.7 Bcf would be base gas). 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.

Steckman Ridge, LP; Notice of Availability of the Environmental 
Assessment for the Proposed Steckman Ridge Storage Project

March 7, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the 
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Steckman Ridge, LP 
(Steckman), in the above-referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act. 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 the proposed project. Steckman proposes 
to convert a depleted natural gas production field into a multi-cycle 
natural gas storage facility located in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. 
Specifically, the project would include:
     Removal and/or abandonment of existing production field 
piping and aboveground equipment;
     Conversion of 5 depleted production wells into storage 
wells;
     Drilling and development of 18 new storage wells and 
construction of wellhead facilities;
     Construction of a storage field pipeline network and 
associated aboveground facilities including launcher/receiver 
facilities and valve sites; and
     Construction of one 9,000 horsepower compressor station, 
including a meter and regulator station, common launcher and receiver 
facility, and other associate appurtenances.
    The storage field piping network would include the Trunk Line 91 
(about

2.8 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline), Trunk Line 90 (about 4.1 miles 
of 16-inch diameter pipeline), and 23 well laterals totaling 3.5 miles 
of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch diameter pipeline.
    The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to provide about 
17.7 billion cubic feet (Bcf) total capacity (up to 12 Bcf would be 
working capacity and 5.7 Bcf would be base gas).
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited
