Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP08–429–000]
Kern River Gas Transmission
Company; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed 2010 Expansion Project
November 24, 2008.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas transmission facilities
proposed by Kern River Gas
Transmission Company (Kern River) in
the above-referenced docket.
The EA was prepared to satisfy the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). 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 EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of Kern
River’s proposed 2010 Expansion
Project. The 2010 Expansion Project
would consist of: (a) Installing one new
Solar Titan 130 (ISO-rated 20,500horsepower) gas-driven compressor unit
and restaging five compressor units at
the existing Muddy Creek Compressor
Station in Lincoln County, Wyoming;
(b) restaging two compressor units at the
existing Painter Compressor Station in
Uinta County, Wyoming; and (c)
installing additional metering facilities
at the Opal Meter Station in Lincoln
County, Wyoming and at the Kramer
Junction Meter Station in San
Bernardino County, California. In

addition, Kern River would upgrade
cathodic protection of the system within
high consequence areas and undertake
minor equipment modifications at
existing facilities under its blanket
authorization. Kern River would also
increase the maximum allowable
operating pressure (MAOP) of 1,680
miles of pipeline (including 300 miles
that is jointly owned by Kern River and
Mojave Pipeline Company) from 1,200
pounds per square inch gauge (psig) to
1,333 psig and increase the MAOP of
the meter stations and compressor
stations along its system from 1,250 psig
to 1,350 psig. Kern River would
undertake the construction tasks related
to the MAOP increase pursuant to its
blanket authority. The proposed
modifications (the 2010 Expansion
Project) would increase summer design
capacity on Kern River’s system from
1,731,126 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) to
1,876,126 Dth/d.
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.
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; Native American groups; and
parties to this proceeding. Any person
wishing to comment on the EA may do
so. To ensure consideration prior to a
Commission decision on the proposal, it
is important that we receive your
comments before the date specified
below.
Please note that the Commission
strongly encourages electronic filing of
any comments or interventions or
protests to this proceeding. See Title 18
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Internet Web site
at https://www.ferc.gov under the link to
‘‘Documents and Filings’’ and ‘‘eFiling.’’
eFiling is a file attachment process and
requires that you prepare your
submission in the same manner as you
would if filing on paper, and save it to
a file on your computer’s hard drive.
New eFiling users must first create an
account by clicking on ‘‘Sign up’’ or
‘‘eRegister.’’ You will be asked to select
the type of filing you are making. This
filing is considered a ‘‘Comment on

become a party to the proceeding must
file a motion to intervene pursuant to
Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR
