[Federal Register Volume 74, Number 210 (Monday, November 2, 2009)] [Notices] [Page 56607] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: E9-26244] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP09-418-000] Perryville Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Crowville Salt Dome Storage Project October 23, 2009. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this environmental assessment (EA) for the natural gas storage and transmission facilities proposed by the Perryville Gas Storage, LLC (Perryville) in the above-referenced docket. The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (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 impacts resulting from construction and operation of Perryville's proposed Crowville Salt Dome Storage Project (Project). Perryville proposes to construct, own and operate; two new natural gas storage caverns; 2.68 miles of 24-inch- diameter natural gas transmission pipeline; 11.69 miles of 36-inch- diameter natural gas transmission pipeline; one 9,500 horsepower compressor station; and, related facilities in Franklin and Richland Parishes, Louisiana. The purpose of the project is to provide natural gas storage capacity to interstate shippers of natural gas. 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.
