The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will identify and address the potential environmental impacts that could result from the construction and operation of the TEMAX and TIME III Projects (Projects) planned by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern). The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on December 19, 2008. Details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice. This notice is being sent to affected landowners; Federal, State, and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American groups; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned project and to encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:32 Nov 21, 2008 Jkt 217001 notice, you may not be affected by construction of facilities, but may be affected by the planned increase in the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) on Texas Eastern’s existing pipeline where no construction would occur. As a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a Texas Eastern representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the project facilities. The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the FERC, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with federal or state law. 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 Projects The planned Projects consist of the replacement of 25.9 miles of various diameter pipeline, construction of 9.6 miles of loop,1 use of 0.8 mile of existing pipeline, and construction of 26.5 miles of new pipeline lateral. In addition, Texas Eastern plans to add 85,633 horsepower (hp) of compression at four existing compressor stations and abandon 9,500 hp of compression at one compressor station, resulting in a net increase of 76,133 hp of compression for the project. Texas Eastern also plans to uprate the MAOP of its Lines 1 and 2 from 1,000 to 1,112 pounds per square inch gauge for 268 miles between its Uniontown and Marietta Compressor Stations. The facilities are located in Greene, Bedford, Franklin, Adams, Lancaster and York Counties, Pennsylvania. More specifically, Texas Eastern plans the following: The Holbrook Discharge • Construct 0.5 mile of 36-inchdiameter loop as an addition onto the existing Line 30; 1A pipeline ‘‘loop’’ is a segment of pipe installed adjacent and parallel to an existing pipeline system that is connected to the system at both ends. A loop allows more gas to be moved through that portion of the pipeline system or functions as a backup system. PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Replace 9.2 miles of the existing 20inch-diameter Line 2 and 24-inchdiameter Line 1 with 36-inch-diameter pipeline; and • Construct 9.1 miles of 36-inchdiameter loop. The Uniontown Discharge • Replace 3.7 miles of the existing 24inch-diameter Line 1 with 36-inchdiameter pipeline. The Bedford Discharge • Replace 6.8 miles of the existing 24inch-diameter Line 1 with 36-inchdiameter pipeline. The Chambersburg Discharge • Replace 2.1 miles of the existing 24inch-diameter Line 1 with 36-inchdiameter pipeline. The Heidlersburg Discharge • Replace 2.4 miles of the existing 24inch-diameter Line 1 with 36-inchdiameter pipeline. The Marietta Extension • Replace 1.7 miles of the existing 24inch-diameter Line 1 with 36-inchdiameter pipeline; • Utilize 0.8 mile of existing 36-inchdiameter pipeline crossing the Susquehanna River; and • Construct 26.5 miles of new 30inch-diameter pipeline to the interconnect with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation (Transco). The Holbrook Compressor Station • Abandon one 2,000-horsepower (hp) reciprocating gas-powered compressor unit; and • Install a 13,333-hp turbine-driven centrifugal compressor. The Uniontown Compressor Station • Install a 20,000-hp electric-powered compressor unit. The Bedford Compressor Station • Install pressure regulators on Line 1 and 2. The Chambersburg Compressor • Abandon three reciprocating gaspowered compressor units totaling 7,500 hp; • Install a new 27,000-hp electricpowered compressor unit; and • Add 3,330 hp to the existing electric-powered compressor unit. The Heidlersburg Compressor Station • Install a 22,000-hp electric-powered compressor unit. The purpose of the Projects is to provide additional natural gas transportation capacity of 395,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) from a E:\FR\FM\24NON1.SGM 24NON1
