Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas facilities proposed by
Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) in
the above-referenced docket.
The EA was prepared to satisfy the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The
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 the
proposed Dominion Hub II Project.
DTI’s proposal would abandon in-place
one of three existing 5,800-horsepower
(hp) compressor units and install one
10,310-hp natural gas-driven
compressor unit as its replacement at
the Borger Compressor Station in
Tompkins County, New York. The
project is the result of an agreement
between DTI and the New York State
Department of Environmental Control in
which DTI agreed to install a new
compressor with lower nitrogen oxide
emissions.
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.
Copies of the EA have been mailed to
federal and state agencies; elected
officials; newspapers and libraries in the
project area; parties to this proceeding;
and those who have expressed an
interest in this project by returning the
