Mississippi Hub, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed
Mississippi Hub Expansion Project
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
July 17, 2009.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) of the
Mississippi Hub, LLC (MS HUB)
Expansion Project, proposed in the
above referenced docket. MS HUB
requests authorization to modify its
previously-authorized salt cavern
natural gas storage facility in Simpson
County, Mississippi and construct and
operate new natural gas pipeline
facilities in Simpson, Jefferson Davis,
and Covington Counties, Mississippi.
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 EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the MS HUB
Expansion Project (project), involving
the following construction activities:
• Increasing the working natural gas
storage capacity of two previouslyauthorized solution-mined salt storage
caverns from 6.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf)
to 7.5 Bcf in each cavern;
• Equipment modifications at the
Natural Gas Handling Facility Site,
including installation of 15,800
horsepower of additional compression;
• Construction of 22.6 miles of 30inch-diameter pipeline and 14.2 miles
of 24-inch-diameter pipeline, collocated
in a single pipeline corridor;
• Aboveground tie-in and metering
facilities at proposed pipeline
interconnects with the Southeast

Supply Header (SESH) pipeline and the
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation (Transco) pipeline; and
• Various ancillary facilities.
The purpose of the project is to
expand MS HUB’s high deliverability
natural gas storage facility and create
new interconnects with the SESH and
Transco pipeline systems. The MS HUB
Expansion Project would increase the
total working gas capacity of the facility
from 12 Bcf to 15 Bcf, and increase MS
HUB’s natural gas withdrawal and
injection capabilities.
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,

area; and parties to this proceeding.
