Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C.;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Phase V Expansion Project
and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues
November 6, 2009.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the Phase V Expansion Project involving
construction and operation of facilities
by Gulfstream Natural Gas System,
L.L.C. (Gulfstream) in Manatee County,
Florida. This EA will be used by the
Commission in its decision-making
process to determine whether the
project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies on the project.
Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues need to be
evaluated in the EA. Please note that the

scoping period will close on
December 7, 2009.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for the project, which
includes affected landowners; Federal,
State, and local government
representatives and agencies; elected
officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American Tribes;
parties to this proceeding; and local
libraries and newspapers. State and
local government representatives are
asked to notify their constituents of this
proposed project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility on My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ was attached to the project
notice Gulfstream provided to
landowners. This fact sheet addresses a
number of typically asked questions,
including the use of eminent domain
and how to participate in the
Commission’s proceedings. It is also
available for viewing on the FERC
Internet Web site (htpp://www.ferc.gov).
Summary of the Proposed Project
Gulfstream proposes to construct and
operate a new turbine-driven
compressor unit at its existing Station
420 Compressor Station in Manatee
County, Florida. The new 20,500horsepower Solar Titan 130 compressor
would be located within the existing
station boundaries. Gulfstream also
proposes to replace the impellers of the
two existing turbines at Station 420 to
match the flow conditions present after
the installation of the new compressor.
The proposed project would provide
an additional 35,000 dekatherms per
day of firm natural gas service to the
Hines Electric Generation Station in
Polk County, Florida. The location of
Station 420 and the proposed unit is
shown in appendix 1.1

The EA Process
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to
take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from an action
whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity. NEPA also requires us 2 to
discover and address concerns the
public may have about proposals. This
process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The
main goal of the scoping process is to
focus the analysis in the EA on the
important environmental issues. By this
notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to
address in the EA. All comments
received will be considered during the
preparation of the EA.
In the EA, we will discuss impacts
that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the
proposed project under these general
headings:
• Geology and soils;
• Water resources, fisheries, and
wetlands;
• Cultural resources;
• Vegetation and wildlife;
• Threatened and endangered
species;
• Land use, recreational, and visual
resources;
• Air quality and noise; and
• Public safety.
We will also evaluate possible
alternatives to the proposed project site
and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various
resource areas.
Our independent analysis of the
issues will be presented in the EA.
Depending on the comments received
during the scoping process, the EA may
be published and mailed to those on our
mailing list (see discussion of how to
remain on our mailing list on page 4).
A comment period will be allotted for
review if the EA is published. We will
consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the
Commission. To ensure your comments
are considered, please carefully follow
the instructions in the Public
Participation discussion below.
With this notice, we are asking
agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to
environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of
the EA. These agencies may choose to
participate once they have evaluated the

In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879) the
Commission has reviewed an
application filed by Eugene Water and
Electric Board (licensee) on December
24, 2008, and supplemented on January
27 and April 1, 2009, requesting
Commission approval to construct a
new boat launch at the LeaburgWalterville Hydroelectric Project (FERC
No. 2496). The proposed boat launch
would be located at the project’s
Leaburg Development, along Leaburg
Lake, near the Goodpasture covered
bridge.
The Commission has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) that
evaluates the environmental impacts of
the licensee’s proposal. The EA finds
that approval of the application would
not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The EA is attached to a Commission

Becoming an Intervenor
In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an ``intervenor'', which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are
included in the User's Guide under the ``eFiling'' link on the
Commission's Web site.
