[Docket No. CP09–17–000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company,
LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Phase VIII Expansion
Project
September 18, 2009.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) has prepared a final
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the construction and operation of
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed
by Florida Gas Transmission Company,
LLC (FGT) in the above referenced
docket. FGT’s Phase VIII Expansion
Project (Project) would be located in
various counties in southern Alabama
and throughout Florida.
The final EIS 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
the appropriate mitigation measures as
recommended, would have some
adverse environmental impact.
However, most of these impacts would
be reduced to less-than significant levels
with the implementation of the
applicant’s proposed mitigation
measures and the additional measures
we recommend in the EIS.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) and U.S. Department of
Agriculture Forest Service (USFS)
participated as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the EIS. Cooperating
agencies have jurisdiction by law or
special expertise with respect to
resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis. The Project would require
permits from the COE pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
United States Code [U.S.C.] 1344) and
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
(33 USC 403). The COE would adopt the
EIS per Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1501.3 if, after an
independent review of the document, it
concludes that its comments and
suggestions have been satisfied. The
USFS manages all federal lands (the
Apalachicola National Forest) that
would be crossed by this Project. A
special-use permit would be issued by
the USFS for the existing right-of-way
for two existing pipelines (a 30-inch and
a 36-inch-diameter) and the proposed
additional 36-inch-diameter pipeline.
This additional pipeline would require
an additional 40 feet of right-of-way
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
adjacent to the existing right-of-way. By
participating as a cooperating agency,
the USFS has obtained the views of the
public prior to reaching an easement
decision.
The final EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following facilities:
• Construction and operation of about
357.3 miles of looping 1 various
diameters of pipeline in Mobile,
Baldwin, and Escambia Counties,
Alabama and Escambia, Santa Rosa,
Okaloosa, Walton, Washington, Jackson,
Bay, Calhoun, Gadsden, Leon, Jefferson,
Taylor, Lafayette, Suwannee, Gilchrist,
Levy, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco,
Hillsborough, and Miami-Dade
Counties, Florida;
• Construction and operation of about
125.9 miles of 20, 24, and 30-inchdiameter pipelines in Lafayette,
Madison, Manatee, DeSoto, Highlands,
Okeechobee, Martin, and Suwannee
Counties, Florida;
• Acquisition from Florida Power &
Light Company of a 22.7-mile-long, 20inch-diameter pipeline located in
Martin County, Florida;
• Installation of a total of about
198,000 horsepower (hp) of
compression at 8 existing compressor
stations;
• Installation of one new 15,600 hp
compressor station in Highlands
County, Florida; and
• Construction and operation of three
new meter and regulator (M&R) Stations
in Suwannee, Manatee, and Martin
Counties, Florida; upgrade two existing
M&R Stations in Mobile County,
Alabama and Martin County, Florida;
and construct one new regulator station
in Lafayette County, Florida.
The final EIS has been placed in the
public files of the FERC and the COE
and is available for public inspection at:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
Public Reference Room, 888 First
Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
DC 20426. (202) 502–8371.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Jacksonville District, 701 San Marco
Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida
32207. 904–232–1472.
U.S. Forest Service, Apalachicola
National Forest, 57 Taft Drive,
Crawfordville, Florida 32327. 850–
926–3561.
Copies of the final EIS have been
mailed to Federal, State, and local
government agencies; elected officials;
Native American Tribes; local libraries
1 A loop is a segment of pipeline that is usually
installed adjacent to an existing pipeline and
connected to it at both ends. The loop allows more
gas to be moved through the system.
