[Docket No. CP08–6–000]
Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Midcontinent Express Pipeline
Project
May 30, 2008.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared this Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the natural gas pipeline facilities
proposed by Midcontinent Express
Pipeline Company, LLC (MEP) under
the above-referenced docket. MEP’s
Midcontinent Express Pipeline Project
(Project) would be located in various
counties and parishes in Oklahoma,
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Alabama.
The Final EIS was prepared to satisfy
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (COE), U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS),
National Park Service (NPS), Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality (LDEQ),
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries (LDWF), Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department (TPWD),
Mississippi Department of Wildlife,
Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP), and
Alabama Department of Conservation
and Natural Resources (ADCNR) are
cooperating agencies for the
development of this EIS. A cooperating
agency has jurisdiction by law or special
expertise with respect to any
environmental impact involved with the
proposal and is involved in the NEPA
analysis.
The general purpose of the proposed
Project is to transport up to 1,500,000
dekatherms per day of natural gas from
production fields in Texas, Oklahoma,
and Arkansas to markets in the eastern
region of the United States.
The Final EIS addresses the potential
environmental impacts resulting from
the construction and operation of the
following facilities:
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Approximately 506.1 miles of new
30-, 36-, and 42-inch-diameter interstate
natural gas pipeline extending from
Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus
in Choctaw County, Alabama;
• An approximately 4.2-mile-long,
16- and 24-inch-diameter lateral
pipeline in Richland and Madison
Parishes, Louisiana;
• A total of approximately 111,720
horsepower (hp) of compression at one
booster and four new mainline
compressor stations;
• 14 new metering and regulating (M/
R) stations; and
• Other appurtenant ancillary
facilities including, mainline valves
(MLV) and pig 1 launcher and receiver
facilities.
Dependent upon Commission
approval, MEP proposes to complete
construction and begin operating the
proposed Project in February 2009.
The Final EIS also evaluates
alternatives to the proposal, including
alternative energy sources, system
alternatives, alternative sites for
compressor stations, and alternative
pipeline routes. Based on the analysis
presented in this Final EIS, the FERC
staff concludes that the proposed
Project, with the appropriate mitigation
measures as recommended, would have
limited adverse environmental impact.
The Final EIS has been placed in the
public files of the FERC and is available
for public inspection at: Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202)
502–8371.
A limited number of copies of the
Final EIS are available from the Public
Reference Room identified above. In
addition, CD–ROM copies of the Final
EIS have been mailed to affected
landowners; various federal, state, and
local government agencies; elected
officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes;
local libraries and newspapers;
intervenors; and other individuals that
expressed an interest in the proposed
Project. Hard copies of the Final EIS
have also been mailed to those who
requested that format during the scoping
and comment periods for the proposed
Project.
Additional information about the
project is available from the
Commission’s Office of External Affairs,
