Leaf River Energy Center LLC; Notice
of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for The Proposed Leaf

April 30, 2008.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or

environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed

by Leaf River Energy Center LLC (Leaf
River) in the above-referenced docket.
The EA was prepared to satisfy the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The FERC
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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is
a federal cooperating agency for the
development of this EA. A federal
cooperating agency has jurisdiction by
law or special expertise with respect to
the proposed action and participates in
the NEPA analysis.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of Leaf
River’s proposed Leaf River Storage
(LRS) Project. The LRS Project would
involve construction of the following
facilities in Smith, Jasper, and Clarke
Counties, Mississippi:
• Four storage wells and caverns with
a total working gas capacity of 32 billion
cubic feet (Bcf);
• Seven 4,800-horsepower gas driven
reciprocating compressor units at its
proposed compressor station/gas
handling facility along with gas
dehydration equipment;
• Four water supply wells and four
deep saltwater disposal wells, and
construct a 16-inch-diameter water
supply pipeline and a 16-inch-diameter
saltwater disposal pipeline to these
wells;
• 6.6 miles of dual bi-directional 24inch-diameter natural gas pipelines
called the Dome Lateral;
• The West-East Lateral which
consists of a single 6.9 mile 24-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline to the
west of the junction with the Dome
Lateral and 30.2 miles of dual 24-inchdiameter natural gas pipelines to the
east of the junction which would follow
the corridor to be occupied by Gulf
South Pipeline Company, LP’s
Southeast Expansion Project currently
under construction;
• A fiber optic cable communication
system from the gas handling facility
along the header system to the
interconnect locations to the cavern
wells to transmit communications to
operate the storage facility;
• A fiber optic cable from the gas
handling facility to the water supply
wells and salt water disposal wells and
to the cavern wells to transmit
communications to develop the cavern
wells; and
• Four meter and regulator stations
and five interstate gas transmission
pipeline interconnections.

The purpose of the project is to
provide high-deliverability, multi-cycle
natural gas storage services to multiple
interstate gas transmission systems.
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,

Copies of the EA have been mailed to
federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals,
newspapers, and libraries in the project
area, and parties to this proceeding. Any
person wishing to comment on the EA
may do so. To ensure consideration
