pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of adding additional capacity
to the Monadnock Hydroelectric Project
at the project’s Powder Mill Dam
Development, which would be located
near the towns of Bennington and
Antrim on the Contoocook River in
Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.
The proposed Powder Mill Dam
Hydroelectric Project would utilize
MPM’s licensed Powder Mill Dam of the
Monadnock Hydroelectric Project, FERC
No. 6597 for which MPM is the licensee
and would consist of: (1) A new
generating unit with a total installed
capacity of 200 kW, (2) a new
transmission line connecting to existing
power lines, and (3) appurtenant
facilities. The project would have an
annual generation of 0.7 gigawattshours, which would be sold to a local

[Docket No. PF08–30–000]
Northwest Pipeline GP; Notice of Intent
To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed
Sundance Trail Expansion Project;
Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues
November 26, 2008.
The Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC or Commission) is
in the process of preparing an
environmental assessment (EA) on the
environmental impacts of the Sundance
Trail Expansion Project (Project)
involving the construction and
operation of new underground natural
gas pipeline looping1 and a modified
compressor station proposed by
Northwest Pipeline GP (Northwest). The
Project is under review in Docket No.
PF08–30–000.
This Notice of Intent (NOI) explains
the scoping process that will be used to
gather input from the public and
interested agencies on the Project. Your
input will help determine which issues
will be evaluated in the EA. Please note
that the scoping period for this Project
will close on December 29, 2008.
Although a formal application has not
been filed, the FERC has already
initiated its NEPA review under its prefiling process. A pre-filing docket
1A
pipeline loop is a segment of pipeline
immediately adjacent to an existing pipeline.
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

number has been assigned to the
proposed Project (PF08–30–000). The
purpose of the pre-filing process is to
encourage early involvement of
interested stakeholders and to identify
and resolve issues before an application
is filed with the FERC.
This NOI is being sent to Federal,
State, and local government agencies;
elected officials; affected landowners;
environmental and public interest
groups; Indian tribes and regional
Native American organizations;
commentors and other interested
parties; and local libraries and
newspapers. We 2 encourage
government representatives to notify
their constituents of this proposed
Project and encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
notice, you may be contacted by a
Northwest representative about the
acquisition of an easement to construct,
operate, and maintain the proposed
facilities. Northwest 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 federal
eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, and the Project is ultimately
approved by the FERC, Northwest could
initiate condemnation proceedings in
accordance with Federal law.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility on My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ is available for viewing on
the FERC Internet Web site (https://
www.ferc.gov/for-citizens/citizenguides.asp). This fact sheet addresses a
number of typically asked questions,
including the use of eminent domain
and how to participate in FERC’s
proceedings.
Summary of the Proposed Project
Northwest has proposed to construct
and operate the Project to provide 150
Mdth/d of transportation capacity out of
the Piceance Basin for delivery into the
Kern River Gas Transmission Company
system where it can be transported to
Utah, southern Nevada, and southern
California markets. The Project’s
pipeline loop would be located in
Lincoln County, Wyoming, and the
compressor station modification would
take place in Uintah County, Utah.
