Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed MEP Amendment and
Expansion Projects
July 29, 2009.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed
by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC
(MEP) in the above-referenced dockets.
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 MEP’s
proposed Amendment and Expansion
Projects. MEP proposes expansion and/
or equipment modifications at the
previously certificated Lamar
Compressor Station in Lamar County,
Texas; Atlanta Compressor Station in
Cass County, Texas; Perryville
Compressor Station in Union Parish,
Louisiana; and the expansion and
relocation of the previously certificated
Vicksburg Compressor Station to Hinds
County, Mississippi. Specifically, MEP
is proposing to:
• Install one additional G12
compressor unit and associated
appurtenant facilities at the Lamar
Compressor Station;
• substitute two G16 compressor
units for the two previously certificated
G12 compressor units and add two
additional G16 compressor units and
associated appurtenant facilities at the
Atlanta Compressor Station and remove
the compression-capacity cap for the
station;
• install one additional inlet filter/
separator at the Perryville Compressor
Station;
• relocate the previously certificated
Vicksburg Compressor Station from
Warren County, Mississippi, to Hinds
County, Mississippi, and install one
new G12 compressor unit and
associated appurtenant facilities at the
new Vicksburg Compressor Station site.
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.
You can make a difference by
providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the MEP
Amendment and Expansion Projects.
Your comments should focus on the
potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to
avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the
more useful they will be. To ensure that
your comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before August 28,
2009.

Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed MEP Amendment and Expansion
Projects
July 29, 2009.
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Midcontinent Express
Pipeline, LLC (MEP) in the above-referenced dockets.
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 MEP's proposed Amendment and Expansion
Projects. MEP proposes expansion and/or equipment modifications at the
previously certificated Lamar Compressor Station in Lamar County,
Texas; Atlanta Compressor Station in Cass County, Texas; Perryville
Compressor Station in Union Parish, Louisiana; and the expansion and
relocation of the previously certificated Vicksburg Compressor Station
to Hinds County, Mississippi. Specifically, MEP is proposing to:
Install one additional G12 compressor unit and associated
appurtenant facilities at the Lamar Compressor Station;
substitute two G16 compressor units for the two previously
certificated G12 compressor units and add two additional G16 compressor
units and associated appurtenant facilities at the Atlanta Compressor
Station and remove the compression-capacity cap for the station;
install one additional inlet filter/separator at the
Perryville Compressor Station;
relocate the previously certificated Vicksburg Compressor
Station from Warren County, Mississippi, to Hinds County, Mississippi,
and install one new G12 compressor unit and associated appurtenant
facilities at the new Vicksburg Compressor Station site.
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-
